Ryan Coogler said his multifaceted deal with Warner Bros., that gives him complete ownership over his hit action-horror film "Sinners," is not a new concept in Hollywood, nor is he the first filmmaker to make such a request.

Yes, it's another killer Michael B. Jordan film. But the story behind the scenes, starring Ryan Coogler, is the one that you'll want to study closely.

In Sinners, the vampire Remmick (O'Connell) wants nothing more than to make blues musician Sammie (Miles Caton) part of his coven. But to give in to this monster's sweet song (and jig) would cost Sammie his soul.
