Sinners is the latest film by Ryan Coogler, in which women take the lead role.
In an interview with GamesRadar+, the filmmaker even joked that women were running the set of his movie.
"Halfway through the movie, I want the audience to realize that all they're doing is throwing this rager for the most important people in their life, you know? And in a sense, that's what we were doing. The women ran our set," he says with a laugh.
Then, he shares how creatively involved women were in the horror adventure.
"[Michael] could tell you... like, if you wanted anything done, that's who you'd have to go talk to. Zinzi [Coogler, Ryan's wife] was our producer with Sev Ohanian and Autumn [Durald Arkapaw] was running the camera and lighting. We had [production designer] Hannah [Beachler]," he adds.
"And [composer] Ludwig [Göransson], you know, had [his wife] Serena there, who would be fine tuning everything. That's who you had to check in with," Ryan concludes. "So yeah, it's a very clear representation of what was going on behind the scenes."
Sinners will be outonApril18.
