Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan have proven to be an extraordinary team, and Warner Bros. took to social media to confirm that the first trailer for their next big project, Sinners, will be unleashed tomorrow.

Plot details for Sinners have largely been kept under wraps, but the project has been described as a period thriller involving vampires. Jordan is rumoured to be playing twin brothers who return to their hometown only to discover a great evil. Insiders have added that the film will be set in the “Jim Crow-era South and possibly involve both vampires and Southern supernatural traditions.” In addition to Jordan, the film is also set to star Delroy Lindo, Jack O’Connell, Hailee Steinfeld, Lola Kirke, Wunmi Mosaku, and more.

Coogler has worked with Jordan on each of his movies, including Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I can’t wait to see what they have in store for us with Sinners, so be sure to check back here for the trailer tomorrow!

Coogler has several other projects in the works. He’s set to produce an adaptation of A Vicious Circle, a graphic novel series published by BOOM! Studios created by Mattson Tomlin and Lee Bermejo. The project will be a “two-hander action thriller about assassins from the future hunting each other through time” which is being described as John Wick meets Looper.

He’s also developing a reboot of The X-Files, the iconic sci-fi series starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson. While original creator Chris Carter isn’t involved in the project, he has given it his blessing. Carter has said that he had a “really nice conversation” with Coogler when the reboot was first pitched to Fox. When it comes to passing the reins to someone else, Carter is more than happy to do so. “It’s interesting, people say, ‘Aren’t you possessive of it?’ And I say, ‘No, I’m looking forward to seeing what somebody else does with is.” He added that Coogler has some good ideas, but has an uphill battle when it comes to casting. “No matter what, he’d got a hard job,” Carter said. “Casting is a hard job. Mounting it is a hard job. All the problems that I dealt with are going to be his problems.“

Scream 7: Courteney Cox has not signed on yet

Scream 6, courteney cox

Spyglass Media and Paramount Pictures once intended to make a Scream 7 that would have starred Scream (2022) and Scream VI leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, with Freaky and Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon at the helm. But then Ortega allegedly asked for a substantial pay raise – and as we saw when Neve Campbell dropped out of Scream VI due to a pay dispute, these pay issues don’t tend to work out. Then Barrera was fired from the project after comments she made about the Israel-Hamas war didn’t go over well with executives at Spyglass. Landon dropped out the of the project soon after. So Scream 7 has been re-developed, Campbell has signed on to return as franchise heroine Sidney Prescott, back in the lead role – and while there’s not a lot that we know about the current state of the film, one thing we thought we knew for sure is that franchise regular Courteney Cox would also be back in the role of reporter / author Gale Weathers. But that’s not the case. Although Cox was first said to be “in talks” to join the project back in March, six months later she still has not closed her deal and signed on.

Speaking with Variety, Cox said, “I’m not officially signed on. I’m not, but there will be a Scream 7. … They’re rewriting all the time. It’s not like I don’t know what’s going on.”

Kevin Williamson, who wrote the screenplay for the original Scream, is set to direct this new sequel. In addition to writing the original Scream, Williamson has also written I Know What You Did Last Summer, Scream 2, The Faculty, and Halloween H20 (where his script contributions were uncredited). He wrote the initial drafts of Scream 3 and Scream 4, then those both received some major rewrites. For Scream 7, he’ll be working from a screenplay by 2022’s Scream and Scream VI writer Guy Busick, who crafted the story with his co-writer on the fifth and sixth films, James Vanderbilt. (Vanderbilt is also a producer on the most recent sequels.) Williamson made his directing debut with the 1999 thriller Teaching Mrs. Tingle. Twenty-five years later, Scream 7 will be his second directing credit.

Cox told Variety she’s “excited” that Williamson is going to be at the helm of this sequel, which is expected to start filming in December or January. “You can’t get better than that choice. It’s going to be fun.”

So it sounds like Cox will gladly be involved with Scream 7, if Gale Weathers ends up being included in the script in a satisfactory way. She’s hoping Gale’s ex Dewey, who was played by David Arquette and killed off in the fifth film, will also be able to make some kind of an appearance. “I understand the reasons they did it (killed Dewey), but whoa! Talk about a missed character. Dewey is so loved by Scream fans. They have to figure it out.”
