Warner Bros has dropped the trailer for the upcoming gothic horror: Sinners. Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan helm the project as director and actor, which is the fifth time they have collaborated, following Fruitvale Station (2013). After their initial success over a decade ago, they joined forces again for Creed (2015) and, later, the Black Panther (2018) franchise. Moreover, Warner Bros Film Group co-chairs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy are throwing their full support behind the duo after they approved the development of Creed III (2013).

What’s It About?

According to IMDb, the film is set in 1930s Jim Crow South, a time harrowing enough even without the additional horror thrown into the mix. Deadline reports that Coogler, who wrote the film, features a “faceless monster.” At the same time, Jordan portrays a bootlegger and veteran dealing with the harsh realities of inhabiting the devout Southern enclave. The story unfolds with twin brothers (Jordan), who return to their hometown for a fresh start but discover that the idyllic space isn’t quite what it seems. According to Deadline, the trailer for Sinners escalates the tension as night descends, showcasing a character played by Hailee Steinfeld who attempts to break into a bar, prompting frightened patrons to barricade themselves inside.
