When an attendee identified herself as former Disney Channel scheduler Kimberly Luce and mentioned that she pitched the idea for the 2001 film, Coogler\u2019s response was swift: \u201cGod bless you.\u201d According to Coogler, The Luck of the Irish has a lot of fans in Oakland, California. \u201cWe used to watch that movie like crazy,\u201d he said. \u201cThat was our first introduction to some of the similarities in Irish folk music to, basically, our music. There was a small Irish community in the Bay, and we would talk about it. That movie was kind of a touchpoint for us to jump off of, crazy enough. We\u2019ve been fascinated with that culture in my household.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ryan Coogler explains how the Disney Channel original movie \u2018The Luck of the Irish\u2019 influenced him while making \u2018Sinners\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DeadlineContenders?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#DeadlineContenders<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/D8iybJp2In\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/D8iybJp2In<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Deadline (@DEADLINE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DEADLINE\/status\/1989801311483957380?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">November 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmi3aj88l002z3b78no0phd0g@published\" data-word-count=\"123\">Coogler said on the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jLcPawzbp_4?t=2830\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Get Rec\u2019d podcast<\/a> earlier this year that Remmick\u2019s red eyes and demeanor are inspired by Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
