The 1. 00 Most Anticipated Films Of 2.

We’ll be looking at the best and worst of films, performances, sequences, cinematography, soundtracks and more across the next few weeks, which will serve as a reminder that 2.

Below you’ll find the films we’re most keenly anticipating in the year to come, and the good news is that it looks like we’re in for a belter — even at a hundred, it’s all killer, no filler, and we could have gone much longer too.
They range from the biggest blockbusters to tiny micro- budget indies, from first- time filmmakers to veteran directors with five decades in the business under their belts, and with moviemakers from virtually every corner of the globe involved. Take a look at the full list below, and start marking your 2.

Click here for our complete 2. Craig Zahler (“Bone Tomahawk”)Cast: Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter, Don Johnson, Udo Kier, Marc Blucas. Synopsis: A former boxer becomes a drug runner, only to end up in prison and forced to fight for his life.
What You Need To Know: We went into 2. Bone Tomahawk” with fairly low expectations and came out overjoyed — it was a pulpy, poetic, darkly funny horror/Western that could be strangely beautiful and moving for a movie where someone gets bisected through the asshole by a mountain man who looks like a Predator. As such, it bought our undying loyalty to writer/director S. Craig Zahler, and we’ll be very much there for his next one, which has now wrapped. A more contemporary story of brutality, it seems to involve crime and prison boxing in some way, and while some might shirk from it, given that Vince Vaughn’s in the lead role, we’d remind them politely that Zahler is the man who got an interesting performance out of Matthew Fox in his last film.
Certified Fresh. Movies and TV shows are Certified Fresh with a steady Tomatometer of 75% or higher after a set amount of reviews (80 for. Taika Waititi is the spirit animal of every Marvel fan. The director stormed Comic-Con on.
Fox. Release Date: Nothing yet, and no distributor either, but we imagine this could be a TIFF Midnight Madness contender. Slate, newcomer Abby Quinn and Edie Falco have the leads in this family drama, and while the logline suggests that it could lean too heavily on the like- how- did- people- even- function- without- cellphones nostalgia, we have faith that Robespierre could bring us something special. Release Date: Premiering in competition at Sundance, where it’ll likely be one of the hotter tickets. For his next trick, he appears to be deliberately trolling Film Twitter by literally making a biopic of Jean- Luc Godard, focused on his romance with actress Anna Wiazemsky (who also reportedly had an affair with Bresson too, something we definitely hope makes it in). We’d expect something formally playful in its homage to Godard’s work, and potentially a tin- eared disaster, but we’re undoubtedly fascinated to check it out. Release Date: If “The Search” didn’t burn bridges with Cannes, this could well turn up there. Chad Stahelski has helmed the upcoming sequel on his own, in part because partner David Leitch (who also recently landed the “Deadpool 2” job) was busy on this project.
Based on a graphic novel, it’s a retro spy thriller with a very promising cast, including Charlize Theron’s first big post “Mad Max” action role, and if Leitch can bring half the style and panache to this as he did to his Keanu vehicle, we should be in for a treat. Release Date: Focus recently moved it up to July 2. But filming finally got underway last year, with Howard producing and Danish helmer Nikolaj Arcel writing and directing.
It’ll pit Idris Elba against Matthew Mc. Conaughey, and Arcel’s taken an interesting approach, treating the story as much as a sequel as an adaptation (this makes sense for spoiler- y reasons), which should let them have some latitude to change things and keep things fresh for fans. It’s the kind of movie that could turn out to be a swing and a miss, but a delay to a prime summer release suggests that the studio is happy with what they’re seeing. Release Date: July 2. We won’t spoil it here, but Donald Crowhurst’s story is one of darkness and madness, and a screenplay by the great Scott Z. Burns (“Contagion”) suggests it isn’t going to be glossing over any of that. Firth goes from strength to strength too, and this should be a great role for him as well.
Could it take him back to the Oscars? Release Date: Filmed back in the summer of 2. Berlin. 9. 4. But with this year’s coming- of- age comedy “Tschick” seemingly serving as something of a palate cleanser, he’s ready for the big stage again, and this provocative- sounding drama sounds like it could be a return to form. Akin has described it as akin to “Taxi Driver,” but dealing with issues of immigration and racism as well, which certainly seems topical.
And he’s got a big name on board as well, with Diane Kruger starring in the film — interestingly, it’s the first German- language movie for the actress, who’s mostly worked in French and American film up to now. Release Date: Venice seems like the likeliest bet.
In fact, he’s only getting busier — while many thought his Amazon series might cause a break in his movie- a- year schedule, it hasn’t been the case, as he’s recently filmed his 4. As usual, everything from the title down is still secret, but we do know that it’s a drama (a period one, judging from set pictures), and that it stars Kate Winslet in her first collaboration with the director. We also know that someone, somewhere will probably describe it as a “return to form,” and they’ll probably be wrong. Release Date: A later shoot might mean that a Cannes bow will be out, but expect it in the late summer or early fall.
Like the work of Sebastian Lelio, whose 2. Gloria” became a Playlist favorite, and won Best Actress for Paulina Garcia (more recently seen in Ira Sachs’ “Little Men”) at Berlin. Four years later, he’s ready to go with his follow- up, another drama centered on women, albeit a younger one this time, and it should help make his name known internationally even further.
In part because Larrain is producing, just at the moment where his name will start to mean more to people. Release Date: A return to Berlin seems likely. And yet here we are, five years on from “Prometheus,” hoping that Ridley Scott’s latest “Alien” prequel is the follow- up we deserve. A strong marketing campaign meant that “Prometheus” was feverishly anticipated, which only made its mediocrity (and that’s being generous) stand out all the more when it arrived. But Scott’s coming off his best movie since “Gladiator” in “The Martian,” and this looks to move closer to his 1.
Ripley- ish heroine in Katherine Waterston. But can the script justify the existence of the franchise?
