The Story of Sinners: A Thrilling Journey of Redemption and Horror
Sinners is the latest project from Ryan Coogler, the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker behind Black Panther, Creed, and Fruitvale Station. Coogler reunites with frequent collaborator Michael B. Jordan, who delivers a commanding performance in a dual role as twin brothers seeking redemption after returning to their hometown.
The plot follows the brothers’ efforts to escape the demons of their past, only to find that a terrifying force has been waiting for them. The chilling tagline captures the film’s haunting tone: “You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”
The film’s cast includes a mix of rising stars and veteran performers. Alongside Jordan, Sinners features Oscar nominees Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo.
The Behind-the-Scenes Talent: A Team of Award-Winning Filmmakers
Produced by Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian, and Ryan Coogler, Sinners showcases a talented team of award-winning creatives behind the scenes. Coogler collaborated with several of his trusted artisans from the Black Panther franchise, including:
- Director of Photography: Autumn Durald Arkapaw
- Production Designer: Hannah Beachler (Academy Award winner)
- Editor: Michael P. Shawver
- Composer: Ludwig Göransson (Academy Award winner)
- Costume Designer: Ruth E. Carter (Academy Award winner)
These collaborators helped craft the film’s striking aesthetic, atmospheric tension, and emotionally resonant storytelling.
