Forgot to update this thread. Digital release was pushed to June 3rd. It was originally going to be this upcoming Tuesday.
fucked up that coogler not wanting/planning to make sequels would be something anyone would need explained to them
Fun fact: I recently learned that Halsey was one of the people who read for Hailee Steinfeld’s character. I love Halsey and am excited to see them in that Americana flick, but the right person obviously got the role, lol. Still a fun bit of trivia, though. They mentioned thinking the script was just a grounded period piece when reading the script in the meeting and thought they were losing their mind when they got to the vampires.
Movie was incredible I expected a fun period vampire movie. I did not expect the cinematic thesis on american roots music aspect. That was a pleasant surprise and brilliant.
Oh and I am 100% down for Coogler's take on The X-Files now. If he can bring even an ounce of that to a monster of the week episode I will be happy.
