The filmmaker reveals the help Christopher Nolan gave him on the feature, which yes — has vampires — but is described as “genre fluid.”
The Warner Bros. movie stars frequent Coogler collaborator Michael B. Jordan and hits theaters April 18. And while during the casting stage of the buzzy production many speculated it was a period vampire piece, the studio and Coogler camps strongly insinuated it was more than that. films for Marvel Studios, teased that although vampires were definitely in the film, the movie has a lot more going on.“The film is very genre fluid,” Coogler said.
Music does in deed play a big role in the trailer, which shows off a rural Jim Crow Era South setting and sees Black people cutting loose in melodious and carnal celebration. But as the trailer ominously continues, danger comes in the form of some white party crashers. And in scenes that dizzyingly jump around from day and night, blood is spilled and bullets are sprayed.
Coogler also peeled back the curtain on some aspects of the movie’s behind-the-scenes making. For example, in order to find a measure of authenticity, he hired Logan and Noah Miller, twin brothers who are filmmaker friends of his, as “twin consultants” for the movie. The brothers informed Coogler on the writing and advised Jordan on the acting front.
