Coogler began developing the genre film through his production company Proximity Media by January 2024, when Jordan was cast. Warner Bros. Pictures acquired distribution rights the next month following a bidding war, and casting for additional roles took place in April, ahead of the start of filming that month. Filming wrapped in July 2024.

Sinners is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 18, 2025. [2]

Premise

Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Michael B. Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. [3]

Cast

Production

In January 2024, an untitled genre film directed, written and co-produced by Ryan Coogler, based on his original idea, through his production company Proximity Media, was reported to be in development. Longtime collaborator Michael B. Jordan was cast in the lead role. [4] Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Universal Pictures were in a bidding war to acquire the distribution rights to the film. Coogler's script was described as a period genre vampire film. The budget has been said to be around $90 million. [5] The following month, it was announced that Warner Bros. won the distribution rights to the film. [6]

In April, Jack O'Connell, Delroy Lindo, Jayme Lawson, Wunmi Mosaku, Omar Benson Miller, Hailee Steinfeld, Li Jun Li and Lola Kirke joined the cast in undisclosed roles, with O'Connell portraying the villain. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] In May, Yao, Miles Caton, Peter Dreimanis and Christian Robinson rounded out the cast. [15] [16]

Principal photography began in New Orleans on April 13, 2024, with Autumn Durald Arkapaw serving as the cinematographer. [17] The film was shot using a combination of IMAX 15-perf 65 mm and Panavision Panaflex 65 mm cameras. [18] [19] Filming occurred using the working title Grilled Cheese. [20] Filming wrapped on July 17. [21] The production spent $67.6 million on-location in Louisiana. [22]

Release

Sinners is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 18, 2025. It was previously scheduled for release on March 7, 2025, but was delayed to April (swapping dates with Mickey 17 ) to allow for more time needed in post-production due to the scarcity of film stock labs for the project, which uses IMAX film cameras.
