Top image : Star warfare : The Force Awakens
SEPTEMBER
What it ’s about : reckon if Office Space got invaded by From Dusk Till Dawn . That ’s essentially the plot of Bloodsucking Bastards . A typical slacker ( Fran Kranz ) has a pretty bad mean solar day at piece of work and gets dumped by his girl — only to realise his day just get worse : His confrere are also turning into lamia . Then the blood starts splattering .
The Forecast : The flick is perplex a modified release , but has strong bombination coming out of the horror fete circuit , so expect some chatter from the great unwashed who catch it on demand .
What it ’s about : A Chinese - produced , period of time heroic warfare film starring Jackie Chan , John Cusack , Adrien Brody . In it , a Roman host is oppose by a select group of elite soldiers during the Han Dynasty . There ’s patently more to it , but look at that photo . If you reckon that looks harebrained and amazing , then you ’ll in all likelihood love this . It ’s not quite science fable , but is arguably alt - chronicle .
The Forecast : Though it was a self-aggrandising smash in China , Dragon Blade does n’t really have a short ton of buzz go for it stateside . It feels like one of those movies if you want to see it and if a period , genre , action epic is your affair , you ’re going to have sex it . See the trailer here .
What it ’s about : Two nipper go to visit their grandparents for the very first sentence and apace bring in all is not well , especially after the sun plump down . It ’s M. Night Shyamalan ’s first foray into the found - footage / fake - docudrama genre and a return to the thriller films that made him so popular 15 yr ago .
The Forecast : Thetrailers are pleasingly creepy , and the flick — surprise , surprisal — is actually pretty great . This could be Shyamalan ’s long - await return to form .
What it ’s about : A group of friends invent a room to read other people ’s minds . ab initio , the theme sounds exciting and profitable , but they rapidly realize this is n’t a power humans are meant to have . They have no more secrets , people seek to slip the tech , and slowly their life are ruined .
The Forecast : This low indie by first metre director Khalil Sullins has done very well on the festival circuit , winning awards and receiving some stellar review . This could definitely become a sleeper hit along the lines of Primer .
What it ’s about : base on a popular serial publication of untried - adult novels , this 2nd film sees the teenage survivor having escaped from the labyrinth — but now they ’re confronting an even worthless post - apocalyptical reality .
The Forecast : If you did n’t see the first Maze Runner , it ’s worth catching up on . It ’s pretty good , and this sequel look like more of the same — see for yourself . It ’s kind of Lost , with a tween twist .
What it ’s about : Cooties is every teacher ’s phantasy . A school gets infected with a virus that turns all the kids into zombies , and the teacher have to kill them all . It ’s co - written by Leigh Whannell , who wrote Insidious and Saw , and has an awful cast including Elijah Wood , Rainn Wilson , Alison Pill , Jack McBrayer and Jorgé Garcia .
The Forecast : The film premier at Sundance in 2014 , to rant review . It ’s since been tinkered with , including a fresh ending that feels somewhat tacked - on . But this is guaranteed to be a cult classic . Here ’s the trailer .
What it ’s about : We ’re including this because it ’s basically a vast disaster movie . It ’s establish on a true narration , about two groups of climbers on Mount Everest who got caught in a terrible tempest .
The Forecast : The roll is incredible ( Jason Clarke , Josh Brolin , John Hawkes , Robin Wright , Emily Watson , Keira Knightley , Sam Worthington , Jake Gyllenhaal ) and director Baltasar Kormákur advertize them to the limits with hard-nosed personal effects . It ’s also getting a terrifying 3-D IMAX conversion . So fingers crossed .
What it ’s about : Two parents ( Thomas Jane and Kate Bosworth ) borrow a new boy who is afraid to go to catch some Z’s — because his dreams become reality . Let the literal - living nightmares begin .
The Forecast : The premise is undeniably terrorize but this was a picture show that was first supposed to be release in May , then got bump back to diminish . We do n’t know why that happen , but it usually point caution .
What it ’s about : The hotel for monster is now capable for humans but Dracula ( Adam Sandler ) is apprehensive about his grandson . He does n’t seem to have any monster in him , so he and his fellow ghoul ( voiced by Mel Brooks , Andy Samberg , Kevin James , Steve Buscemi , etc . ) endeavor to bestow out the kid ’s inner monster .
The Forecast : The original Hotel Transylvania made $ 360 million worldwide so the audience for a sequel is out there . But I ca n’t be the one who literally forget that movie existed until this very second , correct ? See the poke , featuring Mel Brooks as Dracula ’s father , here .
What it ’s about : One of the in force and most underrated animated films of the retiring twenty age , Brad Bird ’s magnificent photographic film about a boy and his gargantuan robot , comes back to the big projection screen in a limited Fathom event on September 30 and October 4 .
The Forecast : This event is basically just publicity for an eventual Blu - light beam release — but since basically no one run across it on the big screen in 1999 , here ’s your chance to remedy that .
OCTOBER
What it ’s about : Ridley Scott take on Andy Weir ’s antic , action - pack Word about an American astronaut who ’s stranded on Mars . Matt Damon stars as the spaceman , and he ’s joined by Jessica Chastain , Jeff Daniels , Kate Mara , Kristen Wiig , Michael Pena and many more .
The Forecast : Scott made two of the best science fable films of all clip , but his last few movie have all kind of sucked . But this meter , he has great source cloth , andthe dawdler looks fantastic . This could be one of the fall ’s good picture .
What it ’s about : The daughter of a famed shrieking queen is pull out into a version of the horror film her mom was made famous for . It ’s a very meta take on the classic slasher formula , with Taissa Farmiga ( American Horror Story ) , Nina Dobrev ( Vampire Diaries ) , Adam DeVine ( Pitch Perfect ) and Thomas Middleditch ( Silicon Valley ) along for the ride .
The Forecast : The last Girls has been a wolf on the fete circuit , where it premiered back at South by Southwest . It sounds like a real crowd - pleaser .
What it ’s about : Remember how Steven Spielberg ’s Hook evidence us what happen after the classic taradiddle of Peter Pan ? Joe Wright ’s Pan is the taradiddle of what happened before it . Peter is just a male child discovering Neverland , Hook is n’t the tyrant we all love to detest , and all of this is heavily determine by J.M. Barrie ’s original writing with a huge treasure trove of special effects .
The Forecast : A groovy cast , include Hugh Jackman and Rooney Mara , will give this film a shooter — but so far , the trailers do n’t make it look as though it ’s going to hit the heights of other recent live - natural action fairy story films . But we loved Wright ’s Hanna , andthe poke makes Neverland count gorgeous .
What it ’s about : We ’re bring up this one because it ’s such a massively crucial geek film . Aaron Sorkin , the Oscar - get ahead writer of The Social connection , take on another iconic engineering science tale : The animation of Apple pioneer Steve Jobs , play by Michael Fassbender .
The Forecast : With Sorkin writing and Danny Boyle ( Trainspotting , Slumdog Millionaire ) directing , everyone is call back Oscar dark with this one . The prevue showcases Seth Rogen as Steve Wozniak .
What it ’s about : Guillermo del Toro ’s medieval haunted family romance stars Tom Hiddleston , Jessica Chastain , Mia Wasikowska and Charlie Hunnam . With its secrets , crazy tool , surprise , and big heart , Crimson Peak feel like an American version of Pan ’s Labyrinth .
The Forecast : Del Toro ’s been done with this motion picture for some time and the former follow-up , from the likes of Stephen King , are over the Moon . Andthe laggard looks absolutely gorgeous .
The Forecast : The idea of combining all the stories from the incredibly popular Goosebumps serial into one film is a swell one . At the same time , adults probably wo n’t connect to this picture show ’s fibre or story — but the force and plain oscilloscope of the motion-picture show will have nestling jumping in their seats . Watch the trailer , and judge for yourself .
What it ’s about : The pop 80s cartoon become a alive - natural process , mod reboot . In it a untested lady friend lead from rags to riches as her pop - music persona , Jem .
The Forecast : Everything we ’ve heard from people in the know says the movie is actually beneficial — but every undivided poke , poster , or image seems to indicate thatit ’s failing to beguile any of what people loved about the original cartoon . Plus this filmseems likeit wasrushed into production .
What it ’s about : Vin Diesel is the statute title quality , a cursed immortal warrior who once overcome a cracking Witch Queen — and now , C later , he has to destruct her again .
The Forecast : Vin Diesel does n’t needfully need a bunch of debauched elevator car to make a good movie — but , without them , he ’s very hit or miss . Considering this film has on the face of it been in the whole works constantly , expectations are low . Butat least the trailer includes an epic beard .
What it ’s about : The sixth , and allegedly final , Paranormal Activity moving-picture show will attempt to link the mystery of the previous film with a story that stars a young family , but crown of thorns over with Katie and Kristi , the heroines of the early film . It ’s also in 3D , a first for the serial .
The Forecast : This serial has been Exhibit A for the whimsy thathorror sequels get less and less scary . But the twist - off wasactually pretty seemly . Fingers crossed this one can actually bring the series to a substantial ending . Watch the preview here .
What it ’s about : Does n’t the title say it all ? A bunch of Boy Scouts press zombies . Tye Sheridan , who ’ll be the new Cyclops , is the star .
The Forecast : The early buzz is that this one is a band of sport .
NOVEMBER
What it ’s about : The whole Peanuts crowd add up to theaters for the first clip , in this beautiful looking CG - animize family comedy .
The Forecast : The trailerlooks kind of unearthly , but also kind of witching . Producer Paul Feig promises this one will have a timeless feel , and we wo n’t see Charlie Brown twerking .
What it ’s about : James Bond is back and this time he ’s facing the evil group known as Spectre .
The Forecast : Spectre is being made by the same team who did the last film , Skyfall , which was mostly great . At the same time , the early buzz say this filmhad major problem with its endingthat the studio apartment was scrambling to fix . Andthe whim of exploring James Bond ’s family account seems like it could backfire . Watch the trailer here .
What it ’s about : Remember that flick The Ring ? About a video tape that if you check it you died ? Well they made a subsequence in 2005 and now , at last , we get the third part — which is , not amazingly , set up a bit over a decade after that last film .
The Forecast : A Friday the 13th release sound cool , until you realize it ’s a horror movie make out out two hebdomad after Halloween . Hopes are n’t high for this one . ( Note : Above photo not from Rings , but The Ring . Photos from ring are n’t on-line yet . Another tough sign . )
What it ’s about : The last picture show in the madly successful Hunger Games serial publication will see Katniss ( Jennifer Lawrence ) face off with President Snow ( Donald Sutherland ) as her revolution marches on The Capitol .
The Forecast : The first three Hunger Games movies in reality improve on the book , for the most part . But it stay to be seen if this plastic film can pull off the book ’s implausibly dark conclusion . The good news?The poke has the look of an actual state of war movie , rather than more war plot .
What it ’s about : Pixar ’s second 2015 film follows a dinosaur describe Arlo who gets separated from his kinsperson and misstep upon a young pet : A young male child . The picture show exists in a world where dinosaur never went nonextant — so human being are consider as dumb animals .
The Forecast : Footage at the D23 Expo last weekendleft many in tears but , personally , the only matter really grab me with this one thus far is the fact that it ’s Pixar . The full trailer does depend beautiful .
What it ’s about : A revisionist take on the classic story of Dr. Frankenstein ( James McAvoy ) with Igor ( Daniel Radcliffe ) as the central character . It ’s drop a line by Max Landis ( Chronicle ) and directed by Paul McGuigan ( Lucky Number Slevin , Push ) .
The Forecast : You ’re probably thinking this sound wicked – but the sizzle Scottish reel shown at Comic - Con was middling amazing . A great mix of repulsion , humor and the macabre . And Push was an unsung classic . determine a trailer here .
DECEMBER
What it ’s about : Made in the image of horror clowning of the Eighties like Gremlins , the latest photographic film from the humans who did Trick ‘ r Treat surveil a bunch of dysfunctional families who get chaffer by the contrary of Santa Claus , Krampus — who penalize those who are spicy .
The Forecast : There ’s just something about this odd commixture of humor and horror that feels like a collision to me . Maybe it ’s a long shot , but the constituent are there .
What it ’s about : In 1820 , the whaling ship Essex happen a whale of such proportions , it inspired the book Moby Dick . This film , directed by the fabled Ron Howard , concentre on how the men on board deal with the incredible , almost supernatural ordeal .
The Forecast : Originally slated for release originally this year , this motion-picture show got bumped to an Oscar - friendly release date . Which seems like a just signboard for the movie , which stars Chris Hemsworth , Cillian Murphy and Tom Holland , aka , the raw Spider - Man .
What it ’s about : The long - expect sequel to the Original Trilogy is set about thirty years after Return of the Jedi . Though Luke , Han and Leia gain that day , they did n’t get the better of evil forever . The Empire has evolved into something called the First Order , the Rebellion is now the Resistance , and fictitious character named Rey ( Daisy Ridley ) , Finn ( John Boyega ) and Poe ( Oscar Isaac ) will be handed the Aaron’s rod by returning cast members Mark Hamill , Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford .
The Forecast : Can director J.J. Abrams succeed where original creator George Lucas could n’t , and give us a substantial novel Star Wars epic ? One cocksure sign is Abrams ’ wakeless stress on hardheaded event and the film ’s allegiance to the esthetical of original clothes designer Ralph McQuarrie . Meanwhile , though , Abrams reportedly shifted the celluloid ’s emphasis moderately from the new characters onto the returning Luke , Leia and Han — which could mean a play for nostalgia , or it could mean a satisfying remainder to their story . See a trailer here .
What it ’s about : A fierce blizzard force eight strangers just after the Civil War to shack up together in an isolated cabin . Who betrays whom , or what happens next , can only blossom from the perverted mind of Quentin Tarantino . We ’re include this because it ’s female parent - have intercourse Tarantino . Plus he has a wont of wander into alternate history .
The Forecast : The celluloid will have a limited run on Christmas 24-hour interval , exclusively on 70 millimetre film , before going wider in early January . That sort of thing is normally only done for genuinely exceptional movies , which Tarantino and his electrical distributor the Weinstein Company , cerebrate this one is . Andour early glimpse of the filmdo look spectacular .
