Sinners had a phenomenal run in cinemas, and now the movie is available on digital for people to go see and watch. Just in, WB has dropped a new featurette on how Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan brought the Smokestack Twins to life.
Check this out:
There have been several twin movies before where an actor plays multiple characters together onscreen, and Sinners manages to bring that to the next level with some next-gen VFX that use machine learning to properly graft Jordan’s face onto his body double.
I’ll admit, the process does seem pretty tedious, what with Jordan having to replay scenes twice as different characters; then having to act out the scene again with a mobile rig that will capture several angles of his face.
So far, this is the fifth collaboration between Jordan and Coogler, and they’ve both proven that they both can bring the best out of each other with the success of films like Creed and Black Panther. Though Sinners did feel like it was a movie that brought together several things that had been done before when it was originally announced, Coogler has proven that he can bring a very unique flair to his projects and Jordan himself makes for a very good anchor as a lead.
We don’t know what the two will do next, but Coogler is expected to make a third Black Panther movie; and I wouldn’t be surprised if Jordan found a way to be in that film as well.
Catch Sinners now available on digital.
