Actor-director collaborations are unlike any other in movies, and have more in common with a musician-conductor, or even a star athlete and coach. It involves people with different roles and skills who together elevate the entire production through their abilities (actor/musician/athlete), and leadership (director/conductor/coach). Some may go even further, and say the relationship between actor and director is almost like the instrument and its musician. But whichever way you characterize the actor-director relationship, there's no denying there have been many great ones in movie history. We're looking at the best ever.

I'm focusing on quality, not quantity, so while Bill Murray has been in almost every Wes Anderson movie, he's mostly been in small roles. I'm also looking at diversity of output, so while Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford have made four movies together, all were "Indiana Jones" movies (though Ford famously turned Spielberg down for...

Ryan Coogler’s hit film Sinners has been making waves in IMAX theaters and it’s been announced that the horror flick will be coming to digital next week. Additionally, the big vampire blues party will be coming to your home with a 4K physical media release courtesy of Warner Bros. As for technical specs, you can expect a stellar presentation that offers native 4K 2160p resolution and Dolby Vision, HDR10 on the visual front, and Dolby Atmos and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 on the audio side.

One further compelling element to this 4K Blu-ray release of Sinners is that it will have the shifting aspect ratio – which went from 2.76:1 to 1.43:1 in some scenes during the IMAX release – something cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw teased on social media a few weeks ago, thus presenting the film in a way that will duplicate the theatrical experience as best as possible for your home.

“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners continues to be a box office draw over five weeks since it arrived in theaters, but if you missed the movie on the big screen, you'll be able to watch from the comfort of home very soon.

Warner Bros. has announced that the acclaimed vampire drama is set to debut on Digital devices, including Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Fandango at Home, and more, on June 3, before arriving on 4K Uhd, Blu-ray and DVD in high definition and standard definition from participating digital retailers on July 8.

​ Digital, 4K Uhd and Blu-ray contain the following special features:

Sinners, a genre picture and a period piece from frequent collaborators Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan – who have worked on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct – reached theatres on April 18th. Released by Warner Bros. and sporting a budget of around $90 million, the film has racked up almost $340 million at the worldwide box office so far… and now we know when we’ll have the chance to watch it at home. Warner Bros. UK has revealed that Sinners is getting a digital release next week – so, most likely, June 3rd!

James McEachin, who wrote and produced songs for Otis Redding before turning to acting to portray cops on his own NBC Mystery Movie series and in 18 of the popular Perry Mason telefilms, has died. He was 94.

McEachin died Jan. 11 and was interred last month at Los Angeles National Cemetery.

The familiar character actor also appeared in four films opposite Clint Eastwood: Coogan’s Bluff (1968), Play Misty for Me (1971) — as the deejay Sweet Al Monte — Every Which Way But Loose (1978) and Sudden Impact (1983).

All in the Family aficionados know him for his turns as the IRS tax examiner who won’t be bribed on the 1972 episode “Archie’s Fraud” and as Solomon Jackson, a Black Jew whom Carroll O’Connor’s character invites into his lodge to check off some diversity boxes, on the 1977 installment “Archie the Liberal.”

This June, Paramount+ is a little light on original content as nothing new is coming out on the streaming service aside from the fourteenth season of SpongeBob SquarePants. However, for the purposes of this article, we are only including the films that are coming to Paramount+ next month and have a 90% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score. So, check out the 10 best films coming to Paramount+ in June 2025 with a 90% or higher Rotten Tomatoes score.

Boogie Nights (June 1) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 94% Credit – New Line Cinema

Boogie Nights is a drama film written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. The 1997 film is set in the 1970s, and it follows the rise and fall of Eddie Adams as he goes from being a nightclub dishwasher to a popular adult film star with a drug addiction. Boogie Nights stars Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore,...

When talking about John Wayne's best films, movies like "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" and "True Grit" probably (and rightfully) are the first to get brought up. However, aside from starring in some of the greatest Western films of all time, the Duke made quite a name for himself in some incredible war movies. One unsung gem that stands out in his early filmography is 1945's "They Were Expendable," which boasts a stellar 92% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of this writing.

The World War II flick stars Wayne, Robert Montgomery, Jack Holt, and Donna Reed and is based on William Lindsay White's 1942 book of the same name. The movie begins in December 1941 and follows a U.S. naval unit that is initially kept out of the fight as Japanese forces attack Pearl Harbor and quickly descend on the Philippines.

Oscar winner John Wayne, better known as "The Duke" to his fans, starred in over 165 movies throughout his career, oftentimes playing the swaggering, macho hero of westerns and war epics. But how many of his titles remain classics? Let's take a look back at 25 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.

Born in 1907 as Marion Robert Morrison, Wayne worked his way up from bit player to leading man, appearing in a number of poverty row, Z-grade westerns throughout the 1930s. He shot to stardom with his role in John Ford's "Stagecoach" (1939), which brought new shades of nuance and artistry to the Cowboys and Indians genre. It also kicked off a lucrative, decades-long partnership between the director and star, who would make over two dozen films together, including "The Quiet Man" (1952), "The Searchers" (1956) and "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962).

Despite being one of the top box office draws for most of his career,...

Hailee Steinfeld is one of the most talented and beautiful young actresses in the film industry. Steinfeld began her acting career at the early age of 10 and soon found her breakout role of Mattie Ross in Ethan and Joel Coen‘s True Grit. Soon, Seinfeld became one of the most prominent child actors in the industry and appeared in several big and small-scale projects like Ender’s Game and Begin Again. Recently, she starred in Ryan Coogler‘s brilliant supernatural action horror film Sinners, and she is also a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Kate Bishop. So, if you love Steinfeld’s performance, here are the best movies and TV shows starring Hailee Steinfeld you should check out right now.

Jafar Panahi was not born a dissident filmmaker. He never strived to become one. He had the mantle of dissident artist thrust upon him by the regime in Tehran.

In 2009, after Panahi attended the funeral of a student killed in the so-called Green Revolution protests, the government banned him from leaving the country. In 2010, citing his plans to shoot a film with the protests as a backdrop, the government slapped him with a 20-year ban on travel and filmmaking along with a six-year suspended prison sentence for “propaganda against the system.”

Panahi was famous in international art house circles before the ban — The White Balloon (1995) won Cannes’ Camera d’Or for best first feature, The Circle (2000) earned Venice’s Golden Lion for best film — but it was after the ban that the mainstream press took notice.

When the 2011 Berlin Film Festival staged a symbolic protest, leaving a seat empty for Panahi,...

It is difficult to think of a movie star who did more to dictate the course of motion pictures in the United States during the 20th century than John Wayne. The Iowa native, who owes his acting career to John Ford and Tom Mix doing legendary USC football coach Howard Jones a minor favor, slugged it out as a contract player throughout the 1930s until, at tail end of the decade, he twirl-cocked a Winchester rifle as the Ringo Kid in "Stagecoach." That moment, that movie, changed the Western forever. Before Ford's masterpiece, the genre was basically pulp cinema; after it became a massive hit, Westerns acquired the power of myth.

Wayne firmly believed Westerns existed to tell tales about the pursuit of America's manifest destiny. Wayne was so serious about this that, late in his career, when Clint Eastwood approached him about co-starring in a Western together, he...

Perhaps among the summer's riskiest films, F1: The Movie will determine whether there's a market for mega-budget, star-driven tent poles that are not based on prior intellectual property. Starring Brad Pitt and directed by Top Gun: Maverick's Joseph Kosinski, the movie cost a reported $300 million to produce, and marks Pitt's biggest project in over a decade. He last headlined a movie this big back in 2013, and it was just as risky then. The movie in question, World War Z, was produced at a time when projects involving zombies were generating huge levels of interest; this was in the aftermath of The Walking Dead. World War Z is now making an impression on the streaming charts, as fans get ready for F1 later this summer.

According to FlixPatrol, the epic action thriller claimed the fourth spot on Paramount+ charts on May 13, earning a total of 120 points for the day.

Marvel Studios' Thunderbolts* held on to the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office, taking in $33.1 million in its second weekend of release.

This marks a 55% drop from its debut, which is a better hold than other recent MCU movies Captain America: Brave New World (down 68%), Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (down 70%), The Marvels (down 78%) and Thor: Love and Thunder (down 67%).

"The New Avengers" now sits at $128.5 million in North America and $272 million globally. The movie had a reported production budget of $180 million before marketing costs, and will need to clear $400 million worldwide to turn a profit.

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's Sinners also continues to perform very well, and has now passed the $200 million milestone at the U.S. box office, becoming just the sixth horror movie to do so in history after The Exorcist, Jaws, The Sixth Sense, It, and It Chapter 2.

When principal photography commenced on "Rooster Cogburn" in the fall of 1974, John Wayne was 68 years old and not thinking about retirement. By the end of the shoot, the star was on oxygen after contracting viral pneumonia. Almost a year later, when it came time to promote the film's theatrical release, Wayne was Mia due to the same lingering case of pneumonia -- a frightening proposition given that the longtime smoker had lost a lung to cancer a decade prior.

If Wayne wasn't well enough to do a perfunctory round of interviews, he certainly wasn't in good enough shape to shoot another movie. But the star was determined to get back in the saddle and justified his eagerness by pointing out that he was still cancer-free. Even with one lung, a persistent cough wasn't going to take down the Duke. According...

Dennis Hopper was the Oscar-nominated performer who experienced many ups-and-downs throughout his career, with his off-screen antics often overshadowing his onscreen talent. Yet many of his movies have stood the test of time. Let's take a look back at 15 of Hopper's greatest films, ranked worst to best.

Born in 1936, Hopper made his movie debut at the age of 19 in "Rebel Without a Cause" (1955), where he became fast friends with James Dean. He had an even bigger role in "Giant" (1956), which would be Dean's last film before his untimely death in 1955. Hopper struggled for several years trying to find his voice, making small appearances in such films as "Cool Hand Luke" (1967) and "True Grit"(1969).

He burst onto the scene with the counterculture phenomenon "Easy Rider" (1969), which he also directed and co-wrote (with co-star Peter Fonda and Terry Southern). The story of two bikers (Hopper and Fonda) traveling across the country...

The Story: A mad Ira bomber (Tommy Lee Jones) escapes prison and travels to Boston, where he stalks his former protégé (Jeff Bridges) who now has a new identity and is a member of the police bomb squad.

The Players: Director: Stephen Hopkins. Writers: John Rice, Joe Batteer, and Jay Roach. Starring: Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones, Lloyd Bridges, Forest Whitaker, and Suzy Amis (Titanic). Score by Alan Silverstri (The Avengers).

The History: Blown Away was supposed to be the sleeper hit of 1994. It had all the ingredients. Tommy Lee Jones had just won the Oscar for playing U.S Marshal Samuel Gerard in The Fugitive, and this would be his first full-on bad guy part since Under Siege, which was an unlikely megahit towards the end of 1992. It also had Jeff Bridges in full-on action hero mode for the first time in his career. While Bridges is now regarded as a beloved character actor,...

In 2010, the world was introduced to a new star who would soon become unavoidable in Hollywood: Hailee Steinfeld. Though she had made her screen debut a year earlier with the short film "She's A Fox," after her breakthrough role in "True Grit" in 2010, she has gone on to become one of the biggest young stars in the entertainment industry across film, television, and music -- and she's not even 30 years old. It helps that Steinfeld grew up in Los Angeles, but it wasn't long until her undeniable talent was recognized by her future collaborators.

In the 15 years since her feature-length debut in "True Grit," Steinfeld has gone from an up-and-comer to an established name in the industry, as evidenced by her appearance in Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" as second in billing only to Michael B. Jordan. In that span of time, she's taken on plenty of coveted roles in showbiz,...

At 28, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld already has decades of experience working with some of the biggest names in entertainment: Taylor Swift, Harrison Ford, Michael B. Jordan, Jeremy Renner, Anderson .Paak and Jeff Bridges.

Steinfeld earned her first TV credit when she was just 10 years old. Three years later, she garnered a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her first big-screen role in the Coen Brothers’ remake of True Grit.

Her other career highlights include fronting the standalone Transformers film Bumblebee, playing Juliet in a Julian Fellows-penned adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, a prominent role in Pitch Perfect 2 and 3, playing The Trinity in Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” video, voicing Gwen Stacy in the Oscar-winning animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, playing Kate Bishop in Hawkeye and Mary in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.

Jordan – who have worked on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct – reached theatres on April 18th. Released by Warner Bros. and sporting a budget of around $90 million, the film has racked up over $181 million at the worldwide box office so far… and has proven to be so popular, Warner Bros. has already announced a re-release! A press release informs us that Sinners will be re-released in nine select IMAX 70mm theatres across North America, with screenings taking place from Thursday, May 15 to Wednesday, May 21.

In the dusty expanse of Wyoming Territory, 1882, life meant balancing scarcity and steel (and occasionally a misplaced bullet). Rust arrives as an indie art–Western that tiptoes between a grim morality tale and an unlikely buddy film—think True Grit with a generational twist.

Lucas Hollister, a 13-year-old orphan, accidentally kills a rancher while defending his little brother. The frontier court’s answer is swift: the gallows. Enter Harland Rust, a laconic gunslinger with more past sins than sermons, who busts his grandson out of jail and leads him toward the Mexican border.

That setup carries the weight of classical tragedy and a wry nod to our fascination with outlaw folklore.

Behind the camera, the film bears a solemn dedication to Halyna Hutchins, whose final frames linger like a silent elegy. Her dusk-and-sunset compositions haunt every scene, reminding us that art and loss often ride in tandem.

Here, the Western...

The late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who died on set, shows herself to be the saving grace of an otherwise poorly acted and overly long mess

Let’s put this upfront: the cinematography by the late Halyna Hutchins is gorgeous. Hutchins died in a horrific accident on the set of the movie Rust, when a prop gun, improperly checked before it was given to star and producer Alec Baldwin, shot a real bullet – prompting the reasonable question of whether the movie itself should ever be finished and see the light of day. Regardless of the moral quandary, the movie is here, primarily showcasing how good Hutchins was at her job. The first few minutes of Rust quickly accumulates half a dozen gorgeous images in establishing shots, and remains great-looking throughout – visually worthy, at least, of moments that imitate famous shots from classics of the genre like The Searchers and the True Grit remake.

Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” is both a crowd and critical darling — and a box office smash, so you may be wondering where you’ve seen the cast of his vampire horror hit before.

“Sinners” reunites Michael B. Jordan with director, Coogler. They first teamed up for his directorial debut “Fruitvale Station” and have since worked together on “Black Panther,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Creed.”

The film broke box office records with the best opening weekend for an original film this decade, earning over $60 million in its first week domestically. The film, set in the 1930s Deep South, follows twin gangster brothers Smoke and Stack, played by Jordan, as they return to their Mississippi hometown to start a juke joint, but they are confronted by a bloodthirsty vampire gang led by Remmick (Jack O’Connell).

Westerns might have fallen out of favor decades ago, but they never truly died altogether. Even after the genre became reliably unpopular in the 1970s, we still had a trickle of truly great Westerns from 1992's "Unforgiven" to 2010's "True Grit." Heck, there's even been some great Western movies to come out of the last decade. Still, it remains true that the genre's glory days are long behind it.

But in recent years, as Hollywood has discovered that conservatives also watch things and dads everywhere have finally learned how to use streaming services, there's been hints of a modest Western revival. By far the most influential factor at play here is Taylor Sheridan's "Yellowstone" and its various spin-offs, which have proved that Westerns, both neo and traditional, not only maintain a certain appeal, but can be the basis for...

Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's Sinners has been exceeding expectations at the box office ever since it knocked A Minecraft Movie from the top spot when it debuted in theaters last weekend, and is now on track to becoming a bona fide box office juggernaut.

The movie added another $23 million since Monday for a domestic total of $71.5 million through Wednesday, and is now approaching $87 million. It should pass the $100 million milestone by Monday.

The period vampire drama, which stars Michael B. Jordan as identical twin brothers, recently made history with the highest domestic opening weekend for an original film of the decade, surpassing Jordan Peele’s Nope.

It's a great result for an R-rated movie with a reported production budget of $90 million, and analysts believe Sinners will continue to dominate the box office over the next couple of weeks at least - though it will face competition from video...

Late style can seem like a safe haven for the modern movie lover. Whether its the sparse styling of Clint Eastwood’s “Juror #2” or the multi-million-dollar gonzo flair of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis,” there’s a vital, existential intrigue to directors who may seem over the hill, or encased in amber, and who can be easily dismissed as unfashionable.

“Nobody will admit that about Clint Eastwood though! Everybody on the internet is a Clint auteurist,” Karina Longworth says, chuckling. The film historian and former critic has been the writer and host of her podcast “You Must Remember This” since 2014. “It was definitely that in terms of ‘Megalopolis.’ … It is very easy to write off Coppola as a rich old man who doesn’t have to answer to anyone but himself and to say that that’s a problem. But the out-of-timeness, looking backwards and forwards, is what’s exciting about it.

Everyone has a favorite movie star. Whether you grew up cheering on Harrison Ford as he kicked the crap out of legions of Stormtroopers or laughed when Tom Hanks danced on a massive piano, at some point or another, an actor from Tinseltown captured your attention and forced you into a theater to witness their latest big-screen escapade. Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington, Meg Ryan, and Arnold Schwarzenegger all took the world by storm in their heyday and used their incredible good looks and rock star charisma to entertain the masses, often pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars simply by having their name at the top of a poster.

Still, being a Hollywood icon occasionally has its drawbacks. Often, an actor will leap into the spotlight by playing a specific character and then get stuck playing that character for the rest of their career. Here are 15 examples of such an occurrence -- and no,...

Michael B. Jordan is not the only recognizable star in “Sinners,” writer-director Ryan Coogler‘s bloody new vampire horror movie. The film’s ensemble cast also includes Delroy Lindo, Li Jun Li, Jack O’Connell and Hailee Steinfeld. “Sinners” marks the latter’s first substantial role in a live-action movie in six years (a brief cameo at the end of 2023’s “The Marvels” notwithstanding). Steinfeld has kept busy in those six years, but “Sinners” is primed to remind moviegoers what a welcome presence she is whenever she shows up on the big screen.

She may not even yet be 30, but Steinfeld has been a fixture of film and TV for 15 years now. Throughout that time, she has built one of the most sneakily impressive and successful Hollywood careers of any actress of her generation. In honor of her new role in “Sinners,” here are her five best films, ranked.

Hailee Steinfeld...

Warner Bros. and writer-director Ryan Coogler's vampire drama, Sinners, has taken the lead at the Easter weekend box office with an estimated $45.6 million debut, claiming the domestic Bo No. 1 spot from video game adaptation, A Minecraft Movie.

This marks the biggest domestic opening for an original film (not based on an existing IP) this decade.

The critically-acclaimed horror flick also took in $15 million from overseas markets, for a global total of $61 million. With a reported production budget of $90 million, the movie will need to pass the $200 million milestone to turn a profit.

This shouldn't prove too difficult as long as audiences keep turning up, and positive word of mouth is sure to play a part. Sinners releases on the back of an excellent marketing campaign and overwhelmingly positive reviews (98% on Rotten Tomatoes), with an A CinemaScore.

“I just want people to have a good time at the movies," said...

Ryan Coogler's critically-acclaimed vampire drama, Sinners, is now in theaters, and if you want to know how the movie ends, you'll find a full breakdown of the last act along with a pair of post-credits scenes below.

Major spoilers ahead.

Before any supernatural elements are introduced, Sinners focuses on identical twins Smoke and Stack (Michael B. Jordan) as they prepare for the opening of a new juke joint they purchased from the clearly shady Hogwood (David Maldonado). After enlisting their talented musician cousin Sammie (Miles Caton) to perform, the brothers split up, with Smoke reconnecting with his estranged wife Annie (Wunmi Mosaku), and Stack running into former lover Mary (Hailee Steinfeld).

The night starts off well, but Sammie's exceptional singing/guitar playing - a truly incredible, audacious sequence that we're not going to spoil - soon draws the attention of a trio of vampires, and it's not long before all hell breaks loose.

Sinners, a genre picture and a period piece from frequent collaborators Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan – who have worked on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct – has now made its way out into theatres. There have been a lot of highly positive reactions for this one, with JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray adding to the chorus of rave reviews with his own 9/10 write-up. Now, we want to know: what did you think of Sinners?

Directed by Coogler with Jordan playing dual roles, Sinners has the following official synopsis: Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. “You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.

This week’s new releases include a Blumhouse horror movie that’s fresh out of theaters and now available at home, a vampire epic from Ryan Coogler in theaters, the latest from returning master David Cronenberg, and, quite fittingly, a Cronenberg-inspired body horror take on Cinderella that made headlines after someone vomited while watching it on the festival circuit.

Here’s all the new horror that released April 14– April 18, 2025!

Ryan Coogler's Sinners arrives in theaters this Friday amid overwhelmingly positive reviews, and Warner Bros. has released a new teaser featuring some of the praise that's being heaped upon the Black Panther director's first foray into the horror genre.

We also have the latest box office updates, and Sinners is expected to take in $40 million to $45 million (some analysts believe it could end up north of $50 million) in its domestic box office debut, as well as another $10 million to $15 million from overseas markets.

Will this be enough to dethrone the mighty Minecraft Movie? It's a long shot. The family-friendly video game adaptation will likely take in $40 million to $45 million in its third weekend of release. Good news for Warner Bros. either way, as the studio now looks set to claim both the No. 1 and No. 2 spots.

Sinners has a reported production budget of $90 million (not factoring in global marketing...

Hailee Steinfeld fans aren’t the only ones missing her music.

The actress-singer, known for her hit songs “Starving,” “Love Myself” and “Most Girls,” recently told Collider that while she’s enjoyed focusing on her acting career in recent years, she’s also missing the music world.

“I had taken a bit of a break from music, which was a very difficult decision to make, but I wanted to focus on my acting and was happy to be doing that,” she said. “It goes without saying, but…music is a love of mine and a huge passion and something that has played a very strong role in my life in more ways than one, and having had the opportunity to make music through the years of my own is something I will never take for granted.”

Throwback To John Wayne’s Infamous Oscars 1973 Moments! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Before Will Smith ever slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, John Wayne nearly caused his own headline-grabbing scene. At the 1973 Academy Awards, the True Grit icon had to be physically restrained by six security guards because he was seconds away from storming the stage.

That year, The Godfather dominated the night. Marlon Brando won Best Actor but ditched the ceremony. In his place, activist Sacheen Littlefeather appeared on stage. Dressed in traditional Apache attire, she calmly rejected Brando’s Oscar while drawing attention to the portrayal of Native Americans in Hollywood and the ongoing Wounded Knee Occupation.

The crowd wasn’t ready. Boos echoed through the room. Some listened. But behind the scenes? It got real. John Wayne was allegedly waiting in the wings, ready to charge. It wasn’t a dramatic metaphor. He reportedly tried to get on...

Michael B. Jordan delivers a compelling dual performance in Sinners as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, World War I veterans returning to their Jim Crow-era Mississippi hometown after years in Al Capone’s Chicago underworld. Bearing the scars of war and crime, they seek to turn a new leaf by purchasing an abandoned mill, envisioning it as a vibrant music hall for the area. But if you’re expecting just another gangster tale, brace yourself—this one takes a turn you won’t see coming.

Ryan Coogler skillfully blends period drama, gore and action, creating a film that is both grand in scope and intensely gripping. When the horror elements take hold, the film erupts into some of the most striking sequences in recent memory. Coogler brilliantly interweaves the supernatural horror with stark realities, making the former a potent reflection of profound historical race issues.

Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever director Ryan Coogler is expected to make Black Panther 3 at some point – in fact, there has already been a lot of talk about Denzel Washington joining the cast of that movie. But before he returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Coogler has decided to make Sinners, a genre picture and a period piece he worked on with frequent collaborator Michael B. Jordan. Coogler and Jordan previously teamed up for Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct. The film is set up at Warner Bros., has a budget of around $90 million, and is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 18, 2025 (having moved back from a previously announced March release date). During an interview with Deadline, Coogler explained why he decided to make Sinners before Black Panther 3.

Hailee Steinfeld thanked “Sinners” director Ryan Coogler for giving her the opportunity to connect with her Black roots and learn more about her family’s history.

The ‘True Grit’ actress’ maternal grandfather is half-Black and half-Filipino. Steinfeld said that making discoveries about her own family history informed her performance as Mary, a multi-racial woman in Coogler’s 1930s vampire thriller.

When asked about how her relationship with being white-passing has changed since filming “Sinners,” Steinfeld told Sirius Xm host Mike Muse that it “left me with more questions than it did answers.”

“I’m forever grateful to Ryan [Coogler] for trusting me with this, for giving me the opportunity to use this as a way to get closer to my family history,” she said. “I truly believe that this came into my life in a time where I didn’t know I needed it. I wish it had happened sooner, looking back on it now,...

Sinners, a genre picture and a period piece from frequent collaborators Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan – who have worked on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever together as director and cast member, and have other collaborations that Coogler didn’t direct – is set up at Warner Bros., has a budget of around $90 million, and is scheduled for a theatrical release on April 18, 2025 (having moved back from a previously announced March release date). With just two weeks to go until the film reaches the big screen, the first reactions have started to drop online – and they are overwhelmingly positive, calling Sinners a gory, masterful banger.

Directed by Coogler with Jordan playing dual roles, Sinners has the following official synopsis: Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Streaming services haven't only facilitated the release of movies and TV shows at the same time across the world but also gave viewers a chance to rewatch or discover old titles, as well. Now, one of the longest-running TV series of all time is getting its chance.

Gunsmoke, which was the second Western television series for adults, is now finding success online. The series debuted in 1955, just four days after the first Western TV series, The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. Per Matthew Belloni, Gunsmoke just entered the Nielsen charts for acquired shows on a list filled with current shows, 50 years after its series finale.

The Western show was in the charts for the week between Mar. 3 and 9, per the Nielsen charts.

In the build-up to the film’s release, the marketing department has unveiled a whole lot of posters, probably around two dozen of them. And now, thanks to our friends at Bloody Disgusting, we have four more Sinners posters at the bottom of this article.

Directed by Ryan Coogler, the upcoming period supernatural horror movie Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Li Jun Li, and others. Jordan, starring in a dual role as twin brothers, returns to his hometown but is faced with a greater evil. Sinners is the fifth collaboration between Coogler and Jordan.

At the time of the announcement of the movie, it was reported that the story of Sinners is based on an original script by Ryan Coogler set in the 1930s Jim Crow-era South. Ahead of the release, fans cannot help but notice how insanely good Jordan and Steinfeld’s chemistry is.

Actress-singer Hailee Steinfeld, who made her on-screen debut almost 15 years ago with True Grit, is now gearing up to play a bold love interest in an upcoming movie,...

Academy Award nominee Hailee Steinfeld is among the star-studded cast for the Michael B. Jordan-led supernatural thriller, Sinners. Known for more family-friendly roles, the Spider-Verse franchise star claims her role in the Ryan Coogler-helmed movie casts a new web of opportunity for her career, insisting it's "far removed" from what fans have been accustomed to seeing from her.

In her Beau Society newsletter (via Yahoo! News), Steinfeld teased her role as the mysterious character, Mary, in Sinners, her first film since making a cameo as Hawkeye in The Marvels. According to Steinfeld, the R-rated Sinners sees her in a new element as she looks to take on more complicated and risqué roles. "This role is far removed from what I've done, but that's part of what drew me to it! I feel like I'm stepping into my own more and more as I get older, and this role mirrors that,...

At this point in their careers, Denzel Washington and Antoine Fuqua simply trust each other and it's not hard to see why. The pair's first collaboration, 2001's "Training Day" resulted in an Oscar win for Denzel, which considering this was the first movie in which the esteemed star played a villain, is a pretty good outcome — even more so when you consider Denzel's "Training Day" casting sparked so much controversy that he was warned against taking the role by the NAACP.

In the years that followed, Washington and Fuqua worked together multiple times, most notably on the "Equalizer" films which saw Washington going full John Wick-mode in a trilogy of action thrillers based on the 1985 CBS series. But "The Equalizer" and its sequels aren't the only Fuqua/Washington team-ups to come in the wake of "Training Day." In 2016, the director oversaw yet another Denzel Washington first with "The Magnificent Seven,...

Warner Bros is once again digging into Fortnite as part of a promotion for Ryan Coogler‘s upcoming Sinners. Based on the film starring Michael B. Jordan, the Sawhorse-developed Sinners: Survive the Night has just launched in Fortnite, and pits teams of six players against vampires in a Survival Horror challenge.

Per Variety, Sinners: Survive the Night features likenesses of Jordan and other members of the cast in a custom map based on the film. Gameplay features an albeit expected (but welcome) twist that’s akin to Halo‘s Infection Mode: those players who have been eliminated subsequently become vampires, forcing players to fight against their former teammates.

The main goal for Human players is to survive until daylight, while the Vampires must eliminating all remaining human players before dawn. In-game currency can be collected by recruiting Npc allies and unlocking items within the experience.
