Five Thoughts on a Michael B. Jordan, Ryan Coogler Vampire Movie

Hollywood has been buzzing Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler The highly anticipated collaboration for the upcoming film follows the success of Black Panther. The film was initially said to be a “genre thriller,” but no other details were revealed.

Now, bloody disgusting It’s been reported that the movie could be a vampire movie, which could be a pretty exciting twist indeed.

according to deadlineCoogler is writing the script, which has been described as “a period genre film that is a true star vehicle for Jordan.” The budget is reportedly “around $90 million,” with Sony, Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures all vying for the rights. There’s even talk of “potential co-ownership of intellectual property,” which could indicate the project has franchise potential.

We know the vampire plot hasn’t been confirmed yet, but while the studio is busy finalizing contracts and details, we’ve already started thinking about what we’d really like to see in a potential Michael B. Jordan/Ryan Coogler vampire movie.

Vampire slayer Michael B. Jordan?

We don’t know if the star of Creed III is a vampire or a vampire slayer, but honestly, we really hope he is one. Jordan may be an immortal bad guy who spent his life violently rooting out racists and dismantling white supremacy. For that to happen, there needs to be at least one big fight scene where he brutally defeats multiple opponents.

A new look at cultural vampirism

Many vampire stories share the same elements, which is an unfortunate side effect of the genre. Yet Coogler has made a career out of fleshing out new ideas within familiar universes. This time, not only did we want a fresh, unique take on vampires, we also wanted something culturally relevant to black audiences. A story about freedom, family, activism, and triumph that also happens to revolve around vampires.

Al Gore’s less is more

Look, we know a vampire movie is going to be gory and violent, but there’s a way to make it feel organic and not gratuitous. Modern horror/thrillers don’t always understand that less is more when it comes to memorable moments. The best horror movies know how to use those ultra-violent horror scenes to their advantage.

A bloodthirsty romance

Love stories are a big part of vampire lore, so we expected there to be some sort of romantic content. However, Jordan doesn’t often play romantic leading men, so we’d really like to see this project give him a chance to show off another side of him. We know he’s a great action hero, now, let’s take a look at the charming gentleman behind the bad guy.

We recently recommended some actor and actress We wanted to see the iconic Dracula. If this project has any chance of developing into more stories, we need some unexpected cameos for future movies and TV series. Give us a scene where a bunch of spectacular black stars play immortal vampires who have just destroyed a bunch of bad guys.
