Filming has officially started on Ryan Coogler's mysterious 1930s-set vampire movie, and the first photos from the set have now found their way online (via IMDb).
Most of the photos just reveal set decorations and how the film will look but one gave a great view of star Michael B. Jordan in full costume.
Back when we first heard about this project, it was said to be so top secret that "executives and buyers were forced to make the pilgrimage to the Beverly Hills offices of WME, the agency that represents Coogler and Jordan, in order to take a gander at the script."
However, some details have since leaked.
The film was initially described as a "genre feature," with a "period element to the story," but we'd later learn that it was actually going to be set in the Jim Crow-era South and possibly involve both vampires and Southern supernatural traditions.
Jordan may actually be playing two roles here, as one rumor claimed that the Creed star had been cast as twin brothers. Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo and Jack O’Connell are also on board in supporting roles. Details on their characters are similarly under wraps, but according to a recent trade report, "Mosaku may be playing Jordan’s romantic interest (but of which twin?); O’Connell may be a racist antagonist."

As you can see, the movie does have a title, but it's been hidden behind some black heart emojis!
The secrecy surrounding the title has led to speculation that the film is going to be based on an existing IP, but it certainly sounds like an original concept.
We’ll bring you more as we get it.
