The ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' Theme Is Expectedly Excellent
The Fantastic Four: First Steps doesn't just look unlike any other mainstream superhero movie in recent years, it's also got an unusual sound to match. Following tickets going on sale for the movie, Marvel released the full track for the film's main theme, created by longtime film composer Michael Giacchino. There've been snippets of the theme present in trailers and the IMAX pre-roll for Thunderbolts*, so we already knew it would sound as 1960s as the world the heroes live in. But hearing the full thing really underlines the importance of a composer that vibes with the material and wants to make a score that's exciting and memorable music. For the most part, this is something Marvel's not really done well at, save for works composed by Alan Silvestri or Ludwig Göransson or Son Lux's more recent work on Thunderbolts*. But having memorable music is what Giacchino's always been good at—his scores for the most recent Star Trek movies are still sublime, and his Fantastic Four: First Steps work sounds like some of his best for Marvel specifically. (Starting with the first Doctor Strange, he's composed for the MCU Spider-Man trilogy, Thor: Love & Thunder, and Werewolf by Night, the latter of which he also directed.) Like everything else from this movie, the score is sounding promising, and we can't wait to hear all of it, ditto seeing the punny titles Giacchino has undoubtedly come up with for each track. Fantastic Four: First Steps comes to theaters July 25.

Hell Yeah, ‘Sinners' Comes Home to Streaming Next Week
You've seen it in theaters, and probably in IMAX. Pretty soon, you'll be able to watch Sinners in the comfort of your own home, as it comes to VOD platforms beginning Tuesday, June 3. Ryan Coogler's period piece vampire thriller has been the talk of the town since its mid-April release, and you'll be able to watch it on Prime Video or Apple TV. Price-wise, Prime Video and Fandango list the film at $25 to buy, but there's no prices to rent it at time of writing. For the physical media crowd, Sinners hits all the standard formats the following month on Tuesday, July 8. Special features include standard deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes featurettes on the movie's music, creature FX, and more. An HBO Max release date wasn't set. Earlier this week, Sinners finally came to the people of Clarksdale, Mississippi—where the film takes place—following a passionate online movement to get it screened in the theaterless town. It's playing in town six times over a three-day period, and per Reuters, WB provided the city's civic auditorium with a big screen, projector, and sound system. Coogler attended the screening with production staff, including composer Ludwig Göransson and actor Miles Caton, who plays Sammie. Clarksidale residents and those in the area flocked to see it, and 'hundreds' came to attend the first screening of day one. Attendees praised the film for its portrayal of their town and the Jim Crow era, and mayor Chuck Espy told Reuters the film's attention could help draw attention to the town. At time of writing, Sinners is still playing in theaters in standard, non-IMAX formats. WB's not in a rush to pull it from theaters, but you'll be glad to have it at home once they do.

Ryan Coogler attends Sinners screening in Mississippi town where film is set
Hundreds of people packed inside a local auditorium on Thursday to see the hit film Sinners, set in their community and steeped in Mississippi Delta culture. The special screening of the blockbuster horror film included an appearance by director Ryan Coogler and was made possible by a community petition. 'I have family from Mississippi – my uncle, my grandfather – and I had never been until working on this script,' Coogler said, addressing the crowd. 'It really changed me, just to come here.' The movie, starring Michael B Jordan as twins, is about two brothers coming home to Mississippi to launch a juke joint. It's also a supernatural vampire flick that blends elements of drama, action and music. Sinners composer Ludwig Göransson, actor Miles Caton and others who worked on the film also attended the screening. 'Any time that filmmakers take the time out to pay homage to the Delta, especially, because we're the root of music, the blues culture, that means a lot,' said Brandice Brown Williams, a theater teacher who brought two of her students to the screening. The film is set in 1930s Clarksdale, Mississippi, but current-day Clarksdale doesn't have a movie theater, making it difficult for people to see the film about their hometown. Community organizers decided to change that, starting a petition to invite the cast and crew to Clarksdale and to collaborate on hosting a public screening. 'The love you have for southern folk, Mississippians and Clarksdale came to life through your commitment to writing us right,' community organizer Tyler Yarbrough said. 'We are ready. We are waiting. And we would be proud to welcome you back to where it all began.' During the screening, the crowd was expressive – in response to various scenes, they gasped, laughed and cheered. Afterward, Coogler and others stayed for a Q&A. One attendee, Cindy Hurst, praised the film, calling it a 'really good visual representation of the beauty of the Black culture'.
