Go Behind-the-Scenes of ‘Sinners’ with Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan in New Featurette
Writer-director Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed) and star Michael B. Jordan take you behind the scenes of Sinners in the new featurette below.
“This is a genre-bending concept and idea that is very personal to [Coogler],” Jordan says. “His love of music, of culture, of horror.”
“Everything that I’ve learned over the last few movies that I’ve made, I put it all into this,” Coogler adds. “I just wanted to deliver something that could really dazzle the audience.”
We also have three new posters for the movie designed by Nikkolas Smith, Garofalo Designworks, and Shimhaq.
Shot with IMAX film cameras, the period vampire film hits theaters on April 18. IMAX 70mm early access screenings will take place in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco on April 16.
Jordan stars in a dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack. Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, they return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee), Jack O’Connell (Eden Lake), Wunmi Mosaku (“Loki”), Jayme Lawson (The Batman), Omar Benson Miller (“CSI: Miami”), and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods) round out the cast.

Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
