Screenwriter Claims Ryan Coogler Stole His Concept for Sinners
Two weeks ago director Ryan Coogler won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for his vampire flick, 'Sinners,' with Michael B Jordan winning Best Lead Actor for his dual role in 'Sinners,' playing the Smoke Stack twins [click here if you missed that].'
Now budding filmmaker, Nathaniel 'Billy' Sherrod Jr., is accusing Coogler of stealing his movie concept...
The concept for Sinners is pretty simple: Let's have a juke joint party and oops, the KKK vampires show. The brilliance is in the execution. Coogler took that setup and made a film incorporating the history of Black culture and white opposition and oppression. Bloody Freaks took a not dissimilar structure and made a screenplay about bloody freaks.
You forgot about the music. Our music created from our pain and liberation created all other genres of American music and has been used for good and bad. Not to mention the yt woman being a tool of the devil aimed directly at black men to undermine black progress.

What was the concept? Seemed like a rip off from Til Dusk til Dawn for me. But not as good.

The concept of Vampireism is hundreds of years old.
Dude, your post awards season claim is crunchy
This and former TV Judge Joe Brown, who seems to be angry at everybody saying Michael B Jordan's Oscar win was bogus. Why ?

Lord, I didn’t know Judge Joe chimed in. And you’re right. He stays mad.
And if Billy wrote Sinners then I know he can write something else. All he has to do is put his mind to it.
Cut that man a check and give him an Oscar, Coogler!!!!
Of course it was stolen, this is the Industry playbook BOTH movies & music and now content creation
