LOS ANGELES – Filmmaker Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan are set to team up once again for an upcoming original film. Coogler, known for his work on “Fruitvale Station,” will write, direct, and produce the project through his production company, Proximity Media. Jordan will take on the lead role in the film.
Coogler and Jordan have a history of collaborating on successful movies, including “Creed” and “Black Panther.” This new project will mark their latest venture together and Coogler’s return to writing an original spec script.
Details about the film are scarce, with only a brief description stating that it will fall into the genre-style category. However, excitement is already building as fans await more information about this latest collaboration between Coogler and Jordan.
Proximity Media’s Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian will join Ryan Coogler as producers on the film, with Proximity’s Rebecca Cho serving as executive producer.
For Jordan, this project comes on the heels of a successful year that saw him make his directorial debut in “Creed III,” reprising his role as Adonis Creed. Coogler, meanwhile, recently directed the highly anticipated “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” which became a box office hit grossing over $800 million worldwide.
Both Jordan and Coogler are represented by M88 and WME.
The film’s release date and further details about the plot and cast are yet to be announced. Fans of the duo eagerly anticipate this upcoming collaboration, which promises to be another exciting addition to their successful partnership.
