From Ryan Coogler—director of “Black Panther” and “Creed”—and starring Michael B. Jordan comes a new vision of fear: SINNERS. In theaters on April 18, here’s a first look at the brand new trailer.

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.”

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, “At a virtual press conference for the movie’s trailer launch, Coogler, whose previous two outtings were the two Black Panther films for Marvel Studios, teased that although vampires were definitely in the film, the movie has a lot more going on.”

The film opens in theaters on April 18.

Coogler said he, “shot the movie on 65mm film, even getting advice from Christopher Nolan and wife and producing partner Emma Thomas, who have experience with large format photography. He said the movie combined Super Panavision with Imax photography in an effort to be immersive.”

Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Coogler, “Sinners” stars Jordan (the “Black Panther” and “Creed” franchises) in a dual role, joined by Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (“Bumblebee,” “True Grit”), Jack O’Connell (“Ferrari”), Wunmi Mosaku (“Passenger”), Jayme Lawson (“The Woman King”), Omar Benson Miller (“True Lies”) and Delroy Lindo (“Da 5 Bloods”).

Watch the star and director break down the trailer.

The film is produced by Coogler and frequent collaborators Sev Ohanian and Zinzi Coogler. The executive producers are Ludwig Göransson, Will Greenfield and Rebecca Cho.

“Göransson earned a credit executive producer because the musical element in the movie is ever-present and, in an unusual move, Göransson was a daily presence on set. The composer was also part of a movie’s blues trail scouting expedition through Mississippi, even bringing his father along.”

Coogler’s behind-the-camera artisans include his “Black Panther” franchise collaborators: director of photography Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Oscar-winning production designer Hannah Beachler, editor Michael P. Shawver, Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson, and Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter.
