As we reported earlier, Jordan takes on dual roles as twins in the film, which is set against the backdrop of the racially segregated South during the 1930s. The story follows siblings Elijah and Elisa as they return to their hometown to confront an ominous and enigmatic threat. Here’s the official synopsis: Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
During a Zoom video call with members of the media on January 27, Coogler shared insights into the creative process behind “Sinners.” He discussed the inspirations that shaped the movie, the historical and supernatural elements woven into its narrative, and the unique dynamic he shares with Jordan. Coogler described their partnership as a rare bond built on trust and mutual respect, noting that their ability to challenge and inspire each other creatively has elevated every project they’ve worked on together.
“The rarity of it comes in that we kind of grew up in the business together. Mike was a full-time actor as a child, so I got to meet him after he had already been in some great shows and some great movies. But in terms of being a leading man in feature films, his first time doing that was on my first feature film, Fruitvale,” Coogler explained.
“He’s got this incredible mix of talent and charisma. A lot of stuff is God-given, but then he also is a real craftsman,” the filmmaker continued. “He cares about the craft and is constantly trying to get better at it and constantly trying to challenge himself. It’s very unique to find that in somebody. We’ve become friends and continue to challenge each other. It’s been a great working relationship and a great personal relationship.”
Coogler revealed that “Sinners” is a deeply personal project, shaped by his own life experiences and the cultural history he grew up with, creating a story that feels both intimate and resonant.
“It’s very personal. My maternal grandfather is from Mississippi, and my Uncle James, who passed away while I was finishing up Creed, also from Mississippi, and it was a place that I had never been. My maternal grandfather passed before I was born. We grew up in a house that he built in Oakland after he had moved to California, and I was fortunate enough to have a close relationship with my Uncle James, and this movie is about … The seed of it started with that relationship with my uncle,” Coogler explained.
“He would listen to blues music all the time. He would only talk about Mississippi when he was listening to that music, and he had a profound effect on my life, and I got a chance to dig into my own ancestral history with this film, and it’s been extremely rewarding,” he continued.
“Sinners” also stars Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (“Bumblebee,” “True Grit”), Jack O’Connell (“Ferrari”), Wunmi Mosaku (“Passenger”), Jayme Lawson (“The Woman King”), Omar Miller (“True Lies”), and Delroy Lindo (“Da 5 Bloods”). Watch the trailer below.
