Miss 'Sinners' screening in Clarksdale? Now you can watch Mississippi-based movie at home
"Sinners" is now streaming.
The movie, set in Clarksdale, Mississippi, features Michael B. Jordan in a double role. The horror film follows twins Smoke and Stack in the 1930s after they return from Chicago to their small town, where blues legend Robert Johnson is rumored to have sold his soul at the Devil's Crossroads to secure his talent. They start a juke joint, running into some unwelcome guests along the way.
The 138-minute film was released in theaters on April 18. But Clarksdale doesn't have a movie theater.
An open letter asking writer and director Ryan Coogler to arrange a screening went viral in May. He delivered. On IMAX, no less. The first of six free showings in the Mississippi community was on May 29.
"For followers of (blues) and the culture, as soon as they hear Clarksdale, it has an association with the metaphysical and the supernatural … I think that kind of will help open folks' minds up to all the metaphysical stuff that's going to happen in the movie," Coogler said during a Q and A at the screening.
Here's how you'll be able to watch "Sinners" from the comfort of your own home.
"Sinners" will be available to buy and rent on digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home on June 3, Warner Bros. said in a news release.
The purchase price on platforms such as Prime Video and Fandango at Home for $24.99.
"Sinners" will be available on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD at online and physical retailers on July 8.
Warner Bros. said the digital, 4K UHD and Blu-ray version of the movie will offer special features such as the making of the movie, the creation of the characters and their costumes and deleted scenes, among others.
The cast of "Sinners" includes:
Michael B. Jordan as twins Smoke and Stack.
Miles Caton as Sammie "Preacher Boy".
Jack O'Connell as Remmick.
Hailee Steinfeld as Mary.
Wunmi Mosaku as Annie.

‘Stick' Star Owen Wilson And Creator Jason Keller On Show's Exploration Of Mentorship And Found Family: 'There Isn't A Foolproof Guidebook To Bring Out The Best In Someone'
Stick Owen Wilson's latest project, the Apple TV+ series Stick, watches the actor take on a plucky underdog of sorts — Pryce Cahill — a former professional golfer whose divorce is about to be finalized in the sale of the house he once shared with his ex wife Amber-Linn (Judy Greer). More from Deadline Owen Wilson Bets Big On Peter Dager's Santi In Apple TV+'s 'Stick' Trailer 'Stick' Release Guide: When Do New Episodes Come Out? 'Stick' Soundtrack: All The Songs You'll Hear In The Apple TV+ Golf Series Now working as a golf club salesman, it's obvious from the pitch he makes in the opening moments of the series that he still loves the sport of golf. It's this 'positive' energy and that allows Pryce, who stumbles upon golf phenom Santiago Wheeler (Peter Dager) to convince the teenager to take his talents on the road and compete to become a pro golfer. A surrogate father and son relationship develops between the pair, but not without its bumps in the road as Santi sometimes takes big swings without heed for some of Pryce's advice. 'You don't know the right way to do it. You have somebody like Joe DiMaggio, I think the first time his dad ever saw him play baseball, he was already a center fielder for the Yankees. His dad was a fisherman. No interest,' Wilson said. 'Then you have Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods is not Tiger Woods without his dad putting a club in his hand at age two. So what's the right way to do it? Is it to stand back and let somebody do it on their own? There isn't a set way, and there isn't a foolproof guidebook to how to bring out the best in someone.' Also along for the ride are Santi's mother Elena (Mariana Treviño) and his former golf caddy and good friend Mitts (Marc Maron), who supplies the RV they travel in as well as the occasional dose of wisdom — golf and otherwise. On the road, they meet Lilli Kay's Zero, who rounds out the ensemble, but who also challenges the dynamic that has begun to form between mentor and mentee. 'How much input do you give? When do you hold back? That's what we see in the show,' creator Jason Keller told Deadline. 'We see these individuals, these strangers to one another, start to better understand how to be a family. And with that comes all of these awkward dynamics.' In the below interview, Wilson and Keller talk what the show's first three episodes — now streaming on Apple TV+ — tee up for the rest of the series, how the characters balance past and present and what keeps them in Pryce Cahill's orbit. DEADLINE: WILSON: It might sound superficial, but just the name Pryce Cahill is a routable name. But, of course, the guy has a quality that is nice when you come across it, even in real life, of somebody who is beaten, but still out there selling and trying to believe. I guess that means you haven't given up if you're doing that. That's always nice to be around that kind of energy. JASON KELLER: Pryce is aspirational. He's positive, always a positive thinker, and in that way, he's identifiable to all of us. We're all sort of broken in places, and hopefully we can have an outlook towards life like Pryce Cahill, does. I would hope that we could. WILSON: That's interesting, though, the idea of being broken, and the different ways people respond, because, of course, [Marc Maron's character] Mitts has responded in one way, and Pryce goes a different way. I don't know which is better. I know, in this age of therapy, they say, 'Oh, you have to face things.' But then there is something to be said for ignoring and compartmentalizing. I've joked about this, that, my friend was saying, 'You'll see those kind of medicines that'll say the side effects [of] 'do not operate heavy machinery' right? 'Alcohol may intensify this effect.' But one that my friend had seen that says 'Can create a false sense of well-being.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, what's the problem with that?' Like, you could say everything's a false sense of well being. So if that's the case, I think Pryce is still taking a swing and back to [the] original thing. Who's to say you do have to face stuff? But of course, the journey of the show… KELLER: It makes for better story. WILSON: [Laughs]. DL: OWEN: Yeah, I think you can do it until all of a sudden you can't do it anymore. And something just sort of makes you face it. And that's, of course, what happens in this. KELLER: I think whether we allow ourselves to admit it or not, we're all shaped by our pasts. And you can either face your past or ignore it. Either way it's shaping your present and the way you look, you know, at your future. Both of them have this turbulent past and loss and grief and frustration, and it's affecting their present day, and they happen to come together at a point when they, you know, can sort of help each other, kind of move into the next chapter of their lives. WILSON: I've been watching this Dale Earnhardt documentary, and he had a very complicated relationship with his father, who was a great racer, and didn't really encourage him, never gave him that much support, and obviously it's really driven him. But also, this guy's makeup, he's not somebody who's going to wallow, and you're not going to see him — there's different ways to — hi shaped by it, but the way he's reacting isn't in this sort of new agey, like, 'My gosh, it was [so] painful.' KELLER: I think when these certain sports, or maybe it's all sports, but certainly golf, auto racing feels that way — you can't really get stuck in the past. WILSON: You've gotta compartmentalize. KELLER: So, I mean, the elite athletes, I mean, I'm sure they do it in their personal life, in the same way they do it on a golf course. WILSON: And if it's such a bad thing, why are humans so good at it? DL: WILSON: For me, that's the challenge in real life, that we're social animals, and we want to connect with people and, but why is it so hard? Well, we put up walls, and there's, how to reach people? And sometime between men. I want Santi to be great and feel I have a path for him that he can follow to greatness, but he doesn't necessarily want to hear it or hear it in the way that I'm going to tell it to him. That's a big part of being a parent, too. That's a big part of, with friends, you can see somebody make a mistake, and you sometimes just can't reach people. That's just what makes this relationship complicated and interesting, and why I responded to it when Jason first showed me the scripts and talked about the story, because I can really relate to that, wanting to connect, wanting to help someone. But how do you do it? KELLER: We always, in this show, were drawing, all of us, Owen, the actors, the writers who wrote this first season, we were always drawing on our personal experiences, on the turbulence we have with friendships or marriages, or any kind of relationship. We were all wanting to infuse this show with our own personal experiences, and Owen's right. This is the difficult thing about being a parent. It's the difficult thing about being a partner to somebody, it's difficult thing about being a friend to somebody is just wanting to connect and be honest and hope for the best for that person. { pmcCnx({ settings: { plugins: { pmcAtlasMG: { iabPlcmt: 1, }, pmcCnx: { singleAutoPlay: 'auto' } } }, playerId: "32fe25c4-79aa-406a-af44-69b41e969e71", mediaId: "186d05f6-11bf-423b-9d0a-41886bd7f91d", }).render("connatix_player_186d05f6-11bf-423b-9d0a-41886bd7f91d_1"); }); Best of Deadline 'Stick' Soundtrack: All The Songs You'll Hear In The Apple TV+ Golf Series 'Nine Perfect Strangers' Season 2 Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?

This fantasy action sequel just became one of Netflix's most-watched movies — and I'm not sure why
Fantasy fans might have spotted that an epic new action-adventure has crashed the Netflix US top 10 list. "Wrath of the Titans," Jonathan Liebesman's epic swords-and-sorcery follow-up to "Clash of the Titans" recently got added to the streaming service — and it looks to be a hit with subscribers. In just a few days, the sequel has already jumped up to the No. 3 spot in the streamer's most-watched movies list, behind the magical heist thriller "Now You See Me" and Netflix's recent crime thriller, "A Widow's Game". If you'd spotted the movie rising through the ranks and were trying to decide whether to stream "Wrath of the Titans" on Netflix, here's a little more info about the movie, and a quick round-up of critical opinion on the movie to help make up your mind. (spoilers: it's a definite skip from me) Following the box office success of "Clash of the Titans", Warner Bros. brought us another movie loosely inspired by the Greek mythos. Here, we find Perseus (Sam Worthington) attempting to live a quiet life as a fisherman and parent to his young son, Helius. Alas, conflict's brewing between the gods and the Titans, and when Ares (Édgar Ramirez) and Hades (Ralph Fiennes) ally with Titan leader Kronos, Perseus is dragged back into the fray. The traitorous gods make a deal to capture Perseus' father, Zeus (Liam Neeson), prompting the demigod to set off on a perilous journey into the underworld in order to rescue him. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In addition to all those named above, "Wrath of the Titans" also stars Rosamund Pike, Toby Kebbell, Bill Nighy, Danny Huston, among others. Despite being a massive fantasy fan myself, I can't in good conscience recommend "Wrath of the Titans" unless you're really desperate to stream a loud, overblown swords-and-sorcery story. It's epic in genre and scope, but not exactly in terms of quality. The big draw here should be the action, and while some of the battles are well constructed (if edited in a disorienting manner), others lack real weight because they hinge so much on clashes with hulking beings mostly rendered with CGI. And, viewed through modern eyes, the effects certainly look dated (especially in the obviously made-for-3D viewings moments), and dominate the movie so much, making it quite a relentless and exhausting viewing experience. It wouldn't be as disappointing if "Wrath of the Titans" didn't also boast poor dialogue and stiff performances. And, seeing as practically every streaming service has turned its hand to fantasy at one point, these days, there are far better options out there (check out my round-up of the best fantasy shows on Netflix, for starters). I'm not the only one who wouldn't recommend it, though. As I mentioned, "Wrath of the Titans" doesn't exactly come highly praised. At the time of writing, the fantasy sequel holds a mere 26% critics score on the review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score of 49% — indicating at best mixed reactions. Empire's Helen O'Hara gave "Wrath of the Titans" a two-star rating, writing: "If even a tenth of the care and attention lavished on the production design and action sequences had been afforded the script, this could have been an adventure of legendary proportions. As it is, this fizzles whenever anyone opens their mouths." Want a second opinion? Well, critic Roger Ebert echoed that take in his own two-star review: ""Wrath of the Titans' is obviously not concerned with plausibility. It lacks a comprehensible story, and you won't need your Cliff Notes on the Greek myths. You get an idea of who the major players are, and then they spend a modest amount of time shouting laughable dialogue at one another while being all but forced off the screen by special effects." Audience reactions on the platform vary wildly; some RT reviewers have "Wrath of the Titans" logged as a 5-star watch or "overhated" as a blockbuster release. Others, meanwhile, describe it as "boring," "forgettable," "cliché" and a "total waste of my time." Not sold on "Wrath of the Titans" after reading those takes?
