Watch: Sinners Featurette Showcase the Creation of the Smokestack Twins
Check this out:
There have been several twin movies before where an actor plays multiple characters together onscreen, and Sinners manages to bring that to the next level with some next-gen VFX that use machine learning to properly graft Jordan's face onto his body double.
I'll admit, the process does seem pretty tedious, what with Jordan having to replay scenes twice as different characters; then having to act out the scene again with a mobile rig that will capture several angles of his face.
So far, this is the fifth collaboration between Jordan and Coogler, and they've both proven that they both can bring the best out of each other with the success of films like Creed and Black Panther . Though Sinners did feel like it was a movie that brought together several things that had been done before when it was originally announced, Coogler has proven that he can bring a very unique flair to his projects and Jordan himself makes for a very good anchor as a lead.
We don't know what the two will do next, but Coogler is expected to make a third Black Panther movie; and I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan found a way to be in that film as well.

Bigg Boss fame influencer Abdu Rozik arrested in UAE for theft: Report
Tajikistani singer and social media influencer Abdu Rozik was arrested on Saturday in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on allegations of theft. Abdu Rozik is a popular Tajikistani singer and social media influencer who is known for his songs and 3-feet height.(Instagram/ Abdu Rozik) The company managing Rozik confirmed his arrest in a statement to Khaleej Times. According to the report, Rozik was detained by authorities at around 5 AM over the weekend, shortly after arriving at the Dubai International Airport from Montenegro. However, the report also added that the specific nature of the complaint or charges against the social media influencer has not been disclosed. The UAE authorities have yet to make an official statement on the arrest. "All we can say is that we are aware he has been taken into custody on allegations of theft," a company representative told Khaleej Times, declining to provide further details. Who is Abdu Rozik Abdu Rozik is a popular Tajikistani singer who has performed various songs, including "Ohi Dili Zor," "Chaki Chaki Boron," and "Modar." The 21-year-old is known for his social media personality and his height, which is just 3 feet. Rozik's popularity rose through his music, viral videos, and reality television appearances, including Bigg Boss 16. In 2022, he was invited to attend the 22nd IIFA Awards ceremony in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where he sang the Hindi song "Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga" from the 1994 film 1942: A Love Story. In April 2024, he got engaged to a 19-year-old woman from the UAE, with the wedding scheduled for July 7, the same year. But the engagement didn't last long as he called off his wedding to the woman, identified as Amira, in September after initially postponing it, citing a boxing match. This is not the first time that Rozik has come in the crosshairs of authorities around the world. According to the Khaleej Times report, he was also questioned by India's Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering investigation involving a hospitality firm in 2024, though he was not named as an accused.

Kiss backs AUNZ team to continue despite Lions flop
Incoming Wallabies coach Les Kiss says the concept of a combined Australia-New Zealand team should continue despite their 48-0 hammering by the British and Irish Lions. The rugby powerhouses came together for the first time since 1989 to face the might of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales at Adelaide on Saturday. Advertisement But despite the match being billed as an unofficial fourth Test, it fizzled with the tourists utterly dominant against a squad that boasted 17 internationals. Kiss, who coached the side, said part of the problem was their lack of preparation, with barely a week together in the build-up not sufficient to fine-tune their combinations. "Of course the scoreline can tell one story, but there are other stories within it that are important to recognise as well," he told reporters. "I think I'd have the complete backing of the guys here that that concept should be something that we continue to work on and make it work whenever we can. Advertisement "I think that the quality of people that you have in the team and three or four weeks to build, I have no doubt that some of the things that probably caught us this week would not have caught us." Their lack of cohesiveness was immediately evident when they were caught napping by a quick Lions' lineout throw that led to a sixth-minute try. Further defensive lapses saw them concede two more tries to trail 17-0 after 20 minutes and there was no way back as the Lions hit their stride. Despite the trouncing, co-captain David Havili also endorsed the concept continuing, with the 30-cap All Blacks centre saying it was a rewarding experience. Advertisement "I love the way the Aussie and Kiwi boys gelled and whilst we didn't get the performance, we can be proud of what we did this week as Australia and New Zealand," he said. "Whenever the Lions come back to New Zealand, hopefully we can get the same concept and the Aussie boys can come over to New Zealand and do the same thing because it's great to be able to get teams like this off the ground. "It's just been a great, enjoyable week and really refreshing for myself." mp/dh
