Free Guy (20th Century Fox Studios) | July 3
How could Ryan Reynolds follow upwards Deadpool ii and Detective Pikachu? Well, Costless Guy is his latest attempt to blend sci-fi/action with dark comedy — and the trailer seems promising. At least, it seems way more promising than other video gamed-based comedies like Adam Sandler's 2015 movie Pixels. The flick is prepare in an open-world game called Free Metropolis — think Fortnite meets Grand Theft Automobile — and follows Guy (Reynolds), a non-player character (NPC) who works at a depository financial institution.

Thai managing director and screenwriter Apichatpong Weerasethakul is ready to brand his English language-language debut with Memoria. Although not much is known well-nigh the plot of the film, we're still excited — Weerasethakul is a highly accomplished managing director.

Starring Blackness Panther's Chadwick Boseman, Da 5 Bloods tells the story of four African American vets who render to Vietnam in search of the remains of their late squad leader and the promise of a hidden treasure.
BIOS (Amblin Entertainment) | October 2
Although Tom Hanks did have a post-apocalyptic thread in Cloud Atlas, we oasis't really seen him flex that muscle besides much. Instead, he's been starring in biopics and dramas and Da Vinci Code spinoffs. Needless to say, BIOS is heady because information technology gives Hanks something a fleck different to chew on. Not to mention, it's directed by Game of Thrones' "Battle of the Bastards" managing director, Miguel Sapochnik.
The film is set on a mail-apocalyptic Earth. Hanks, who fears he will die soon, builds a robot to protect his beloved dog. That robot ends up beingness then much more than than a protector — and learns about life, dear and humanity. If Hanks' robotic co-star has even one-half the interim chops of Wilson the volleyball from Cast Away, this one is probably going to be a gut punch. BIOS also stars Caleb Landry Jones (Twin Peaks: The Return), Samira Wiley (The Handmaid'south Tale) and Skeet Ulrich (Riverdale).
The Witches (Warner Bros. Pictures) | October ix
Based on the Roald Dahl children's novel of the same name, The Witches is a remake of the nighttime fantasy one-act circa 1990, which starred Anjelica Huston (left) as the Chiliad High Witch. This remake is directed past Robert Zemeckis and stars big-proper name actors Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, Stanley Tucci and Chris Rock.
Oscar-winner Hathaway volition take on the role of the Grand High Witch — and even though Huston'south performance is iconic, we think Hathaway has the chops to make this part her own. For those unfamiliar with the source material, The Witches tells the story of a young boy who stumbles upon a conference of witches while he's at a hotel with his grandmother. When he's discovered, the K High Witch transforms him into a mouse.

Now, nether the direction of Denis Villeneuve (Blade Runner 2049), Timothée Chalamet will star as Paul Atreides, the son of Duke Leto Atreides.

Adapted from the Broadway hitting, this beloved romantic musical is getting some other remake, and this 1 reportedly follows the musical's script more closely than the 1961 moving-picture show version did. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Westward Side Story will undoubtedly score large with audiences this Christmas — well, at least bigger than Cats scored this past vacation. We're sure of it.
If y'all're unfamiliar with the Romeo and Juliet-based West Side Story, we are shocked! For those who take managed to avoid the older flick and stage versions, this musical tells the story of two star-crossed teenagers, Tony (Babe Driver's Ansel Elgort) and Maria (Hollywood newcomer Rachel Zegler), who end up falling in love in 1950s-era New York, despite having affiliations with rival street gangs — the white Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks.

Starring Gone Daughter's Ben Affleck and Knives Out's Ana de Armas, Deep Water is a psychological thriller based on the Patricia Highsmith novel of the aforementioned proper name. After an eighteen-year absence from filmmaking, Adrian Lyne (Unfaithful) returns to direct the pic. We're putting our faith behind this i, namely considering the source material is and so strong — and because adaptations of Highsmith's other novels have been so incredible.
Back in 1999, the thrilling The Talented Mr. Ripley showcased the very best of Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, and in 2015, Carol, a slow-burn romance that starred Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, gained much acclaim. For its part, Deep Water tells the story of a couple who has fallen out of love and started playing deadly heed games with one another. Slowly but surely, those around them begin dying — dun, dun, dun…!
The French Dispatch (Searchlight Pictures) | July 24
Perhaps surprisingly, Wes Anderson, director of acclaimed films like The One thousand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom, has yet to win an Oscar. Here's hoping that The French Acceleration, his next picture show, nabs him some awards flavour nominations. Afterwards all, Anderson has his own aesthetic — something that'south get a descriptor for other films that mimic the look of his own. Moreover, he and his inventive films have all the same to let us down.
IndieWire reported that the pic is meant to be "a dear letter to journalists ready at an outpost of an American newspaper in a fictional 20th-century French city" and centers on 3 storylines. Anderson himself told IndieWire that "the story is not like shooting fish in a barrel to explain. [It's well-nigh an] American journalist based in France [who] creates his magazine. It is more a portrait of this human being." The film'south ensemble is predictably glorious and includes Benicio del Toro, Saoirse Ronan, Kate Winslet, Elisabeth Moss, Willem Dafoe, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet and Tilda Swinton — among many, many others.
Last Nighttime in Soho (Focus Features) | September 25
Managing director Edgar Wright is known for his fast-paced, frenetic thrillers and comedies — and his track tape is pretty incredible. Along with Simon Pegg, he wrote (and directed) the 3 entries in the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy — Shaun of the Expressionless (2004), Hot Fuzz (2007) and The Earth'southward Cease (2013). He also adapted the graphic novel serial Scott Pilgrim v. the World (2010) into a much-loved film.
More recently, Wright co-wrote the screenplay for Curiosity'due south surprise hit Ant-Man (2015), and he wowed audiences with Baby Driver in 2017. Last Night in Soho marks something a piffling new: Wright's endeavor at nailing the psychological horror genre. Non too much is known about the film, just his proven track tape in combination with the film's stars — Thomasin McKenzie, Anya Taylor-Joy, Matt Smith, Diana Rigg and Terence Stamp — make information technology one to keep your eye on.

In the book, a man named Jake takes his unnamed girlfriend to meet his parents, who live on a remote farm. Before the trip, the unnamed girlfriend is thinking of catastrophe things — and regrets non doing and so when the trip takes a terrifying plough.
Called the "boldest and most original literary thriller to appear in some fourth dimension" by the Chicago Tribune, I'm Thinking of Ending Things seems rife for adaptation past the right heed. Luckily for audiences, Charlie Kaufman, known for writing incredible films like Accommodation (2002), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Heed (2004) and Synecdoche, New York (2008), is set to write and direct the movie version of Reid'south novel. The picture too stars heavy-hitters, including Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, The Chief), Jessie Buckley (HBO'southward Chernobyl) and Toni Collette (Hereditary, Knives Out).
The Invisible Man (Blumhouse Productions) | February 28
If there's i thing the movie world needs, information technology's another cinematic universe poised to compete with the success of Curiosity and Star Wars and DC Comics, correct? Well, that's what Universal thought when it released the universally panned The Mummy reboot, starring Tom Cruise, which was meant to launch a cinematic universe consisting of classic monsters.
In the wake of the movie flop, Universal pivoted, partnering with Blumhouse Productions to tell the other monster's stories. Blumhouse, of course, is now The Name™ in horror, with the visitor helming blockbuster series like The Purge, Insidious and Happy Death Day. Needless to say, we're intrigued by this modern reimagining of the H.Grand. Wells classic, which stars Elisabeth Moss every bit a vivid scientist and survivor who grapples with the supposed end of an abusive relationship.
