Ryan Coogler Never Planned To Make A ‘Sinners' Sequel But Social Media Debates Decision Amid Film's Success
Source: Gareth Cattermole / Getty Ryan Coogler shook off the naysayers who thought his most recent movie, Sinners, would have an unclear path to profit. After $200 million and counting in global box office receipts, Coogler's film helped revive in-theater moviegoing after its release on April 18. But he says, despite the success of the movie, he never intended to make a sequel. In a resurfaced interview with Ebony, Coogler said that he always saw Sinners as a standalone project. 'I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that,' he said.'I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique.' However, now that Coogler's film has blasted way past projections, the filmmaker may reconsider. After all, before Sinners, most Hollywood observers thought Coogler could only carry a franchise flick – one whose intellectual property was owned by others. His deal with Warner Bros. to own the movie after 25 years now looks like a genius move and a sure path to generational wealth for his (almost) three young children. (Wife Zinzi, who co-produced the movie, is pregnant.) 'I'm not the first filmmaker to get any of these deals,' he told Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. 'And Warner Bros. is not the first studio to provide these deals to a filmmaker. I think that a lot has been made of my deal in particular. I'm not totally sure why, but I have my guesses, but I've been in the industry long enough to know what deals are possible and nothing about this deal is a new thing.' Coogler said that while he knows why the attention is on him for making the deal happen, he preferred not to say why he thinks the industry was so surprised by it. So we'll say it for him: nobody thought a Black filmmaker could negotiate such a rich deal. But all of Coogler's films have been either critically acclaimed or blockbusters or both. Sinners just proved Coogler can do a wholly original film that hits cultural touchpoints and puts butts back in movie theater seats. 'I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that,' he told Ebony. 'I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique.' So, coming off a film that has proven to be lucrative for him and a story that audiences embraced might mean a change of mind. Maybe. But he initially said that for him, Sinners is a one-and-done. 'I wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetizers, starters, entrees, and desserts, I wanted all of it there.' He added, 'I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing. That was how I was asked all about it. That was always my intention.' Sinners is now available on-demand for purchase for $25 on Prime Video and Apple TV+ and can be rented for $20 from the same platforms. Social media is debating whether Sinners should get a sequel.

GALLERY: Bella Hadid debuts stunning transformation
Bella Hadid showed off a new hair transformation, debuting her long golden blonde locks that were once dark brown. Picture: Gareth Cattermole / Getty Images Celebrities walked the red carpet for the first day of the Cannes Film Festival in bold outfits, despite organisers enforcing a strict new dress code. The event's new rules include a ban on full nudity and voluminous garments. Also ruled out were gowns with 'a large train', but that didn't stop Heidi Klum, who arrived in an incredible baby pink ruffled dress with a long train. Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio's also flaunted a train on her emerald green gown, but she managed to slip through security, perhaps because it wasn't large enough to trip up fellow guests. Bella Hadid showed off a new hair transformation, debuting her long golden blonde locks that were once dark brown. The Cannes Film Festival's official charter stated: 'For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival. 'Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre, are not permitted. 'The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.' A festival representative told The Hollywood Reporter that the charter was updated to reflect 'certain rules that have long been in effect.' The goal of the update was 'not to regulate attire per se but to prohibit full nudity on the carpet' in accordance with the institutional framework of the festival as well as French law. It did seem movie stars and models adhered to the no-nudity rule. During previous years, there have been sheer outfits that have exposed nipples worn by stars like Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Elle Fanning. The festival is typically known to screen the best international movies but this year's lineup features several from Hollywood including Die My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson, romantic drama The History of Sound, with Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor and Tom Cruise's new Mission Impossible film.
