So even after the Oscars yesterday, I heard some people say that they would love to see Ryan Coogler's SINNERS as a Broadway musical, and honestly having re-watched the film a couple days ago and especially after their performance of the song "I Lied to You," I don't disagree, very curious to hear if you think this is a good idea?

It'd require hiring twins which I'm not sure how easy that'd be...

I think I must be the only person who disliked that movie, never ending and by the time it’s gets somewhere, you’ve seen it all before but done better.

I mean you can cast brothers...Nick and Jonathan Christopher would be a fantastic Smoke & Stack respectively

that Oscar performance was really sloppy and the staging was all over the place

The exact opposite is true

Roscoe, you are not alone.
I found it overrated and tedious.

I haven't even seen the movie. I was more infatuated with Del Toro's Frankenstein this year than any other movie.

I think Sinners would lend itself much better to musical theatre than, say, The Lost Boys. The spectacle is built in, the emotional stakes (no pun intended) are well-suited to theatre, and it all takes place in essentially one location that could be an absolute banger of a set reveal. I thought the movie itself was a better-than-average vampire movie with some great performances, but to me there’s no denying that the “I Lied to You” Oscar performance alone is proof positive it could be a pretty thrilling theatrical experience under the right direction. It’s an absolute barn burner (pun intended, mostly by Ryan Coogler, who literally burned a barn).
