If you love brain-teasers, give this one a whirl: Try to think of something, anything, that vampires haven’t done yet. And before you raise your hand and say “I got one,” check your work, because even if you think there’s never been a musical about a 300-year-old vampire virgin whose true love gets reincarnated every 22 years, but who always — always — gets murdered by a pirate with a rhinestone peg leg who wields a hambone as a murder weapon… believe it or not, that’s been done.
It’s a challenge to find something new to say about a topic that’s been filmed to death/undeath, but Ryan Coogler is up to the task.
