The latest trailer for Michael B. Jordan's next movie Sinners carries serious From Dusk till Dawn vibes. The next Ryan Coogler movie is already one of 2025's most anticipated, with the film being a mixture of period crime thriller and horror. Coogler's script for Sinners became such a hot property that it sparked a bidding war, which Warner Bros eventually won. It's also rare to see a horror movie with such a large budget (an estimated $90 million), but given Coogler and Jordan's critical and commercial history, it feels like the gamble will pay off.

The second trailer for Sinners not only (finally) confirmed that the movie's main threat is vampires, but that Jordan will play both the hero and villain when his character's twin brother turns into a bloodsucker. Sinners looks like a throwback to the horror movies of the 1980s and 1990s, but one unique element is it appears to start as a crime drama before morphing into a gory horror flick. In fact, it feels quite inspired by the Tarantino-penned cult favorite From Dusk till Dawn.

Sinners Looks Like A Soft Remake Of Quentin Tarantino's From Dusk Till DawnThis 1996 crime/horror hybrid marked George Clooney's movie breakthrough

From Dusk tillDawn was originally a screenplay Quentin Tarantino penned as payment to the special effects artist behind Reservoir Dogs, Robert Kurtzman. Kurtzman conceived the movie's concept, but after he had trouble securing investors, Tarantino later took the screenplay back and Robert Rodriguez ended up as director. The result was 1996's delightfully over-the-top From Dusk till Dawn, where Tarantino and George Clooney play criminal brothers on the run who seek shelter in a Mexican bar; unfortunately for them, it happens to be run by vampires.

From Dusk til Dawn blindsided many critics and moviegoers in 1996. The story starts as a crime thriller filled with QT's trademark dialogue before it takes a hard right into a gory vampire action movie around the midway mark. This genre shift is the first of several comparisons between Sinners and From Dusk till Dawn, though. Both focus on criminal brothers, with Jordan's twins Elijah and Elias Smoke being bootleggers and as in From Dusk till Dawn, one of the siblings turns into a vampire.

Both stories take place in isolated locations, where the human characters are under siege by a gang of bloodsuckers outside. Sinners almost feels like a soft reboot of From Dusk till Dawn, but one that takes the basic framework of that story as a jumping off point to explore other concepts.

Sinners Is Taking From Dusk Till Dawn's Story In A Very Different DirectionRyan Coogler has labeled Sinners as "genre fluid"

Speaking during a press conference (via Mashable), Coogler listed many cinematic influences on Sinners, including John Carpenter's The Thing or Robert Rodriguez's The Faculty. Whereas From Dusk till Dawn is an example of a B-movie executed with class and wild energy, Coogler has dubbed Sinners as "genre fluid." While the vampire storyline is obviously key, the film is also set in the Jim Crow South during the 1930s and will touch on racism, religion, PTSD, voodoo and the power of the Blues.

Sinners looks like a big potpourri of influences from its director, and by Coogler doesn't simply want it labeled as a horror film. Indeed, the aforementioned topics are sprinkled throughout the movie's trailer - alongside impressive-looking action sequences. The film looks set to hit all the genre checkmarks any audience could ask for while giving them deeper themes and issues to chew over long after the credits roll.

Sinners Can Fix From Dusk Till Dawn's Biggest MistakeThere is a reason most haven't heard of From Dusk till Dawn 2

Sinners might be based on an original concept by Coogler, but there is already talk of it becoming a franchise. Given its high budget and what will almost certainly be an R-rating, the film will need to become a solid earner for a sequel to get greenlit. Still, it feels like a story with a lot of potential and could become the film series From Dusk till Dawn failed to be. The original received a couple of straight-to-video sequels in the form of 1999's Texas Blood Money and The Hangman's Daughter., with Danny Trejo being the only returning cast member.

Sinners can succeed where the From Dusk till Dawn franchise failed, and become the next big R-rated vampire series...

While The Hangman's Daughter was a blend of vampire action movie and Western that had its plus points, Texas Blood Money was simply a dire retread of the original. The fact they both went STV underlines that Dimension was never serious about making a From Dusk Till Dawn movie franchise either and was content to churn out cheapie B-movies that sold themselves using the original movie's title.

Sinners can succeed where the From Dusk till Dawn franchise failed, and become the next big R-rated vampire series. Of course, that will all depend on the response to the first movie. Given that it's a major passion project from Coogler and a major studio is backing it, its chances are better than average.

Texas Blood Money star Robert Patrick later played a leading role on From Dusk till Dawn: The Series.
