During the year 2023, we have enjoyed some amazing movies like “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer”, to Disney movies like “The Little Mermaid” and “Indiana Jones 5”.
We’ve had Netflix’s “Maestro” for the Oscars, Tom Cruise’s return to “Mission: Impossible” and Martin Scorsese’s latest effort, “Killers of the Flower Moon.”
We’ve also seen triumphs like director Celine Song’s Past Lives, a revival of British romantic comedies with Rye Lane, and success for daring films like Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn and Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore’s May December”, directed by Todd Haynes.
Here’s a look at some of the biggest and most exciting movies coming out in 2024 that have got us super excited:
“Poor Things”
“Poor Things” has generated sustained interest since its first premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September, with some viewers clamoring for the door during the most intense moments.
There was certainly shock and awe at the London Film Festival when lead actress Emma Stone was called ‘one of cinema’s sexiest legends’ for her role as Bella Baxter, a young woman who comes back to life with the mind of a child from an extraordinary but unusual scientist (Willem Dafoe) in a daring interpretation of the Frankenstein story.
It’s sure to be a movie that will make a splash (and probably not a family choice to watch).
Poor Things is released in theaters on January 12.
“All of Us Strangers”
If you want your heart broken and carefully sewn back together by a pair of soulful lead performances, Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal are ready to hit you hard with the emotional power of All of Us Strangers.
Starring as reclusive screenwriter Adam and his mysterious neighbor Harry, the two Irish stars have already drawn praise for their acting as well as their sizzling chemistry.
Adam goes to his childhood home while starting a project about his parents (played beautifully by Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), only to find them living there as if they were the day they died, 30 years ago.
“Back to Black”
The Amy Winehouse biopic directed by Fifty Shades of Gray director Sam Taylor-Johnson is expected to hit theaters in the spring, although only a few photos of lead actress Marisa Abela have been released so far.
Abela seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to the singer, who died aged 27 in 2011, from what we’ve seen so far.
Produced by StudioCanal, Focus Features and Monumental Pictures, the highly anticipated film has kept script details under wraps but promises to document her glittering years living in London in the early 2000s and her intense journey to fame.
Back to Black also stars Jack O’Connell as Winehouse’s ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil and Eddie Marsan as her father Mitch and Oscar nominee Lesley Manville as her grandmother Cynthia.
Back to Black is released in theaters on April 12.
“Challengers”
As a result of the strikes, “Challengers” was pushed back to 2024 not long after its first trailer debuted in the summer, and it was also pulled from its role as the opening film at the Venice Film Festival in September.
Directed by Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino, Zendaya stars as Tashi Duncan, who years later is revealed to be the now wife and coach of Grand Slam champion Art (Faist).
“Challengers” is expected to be released in cinemas on April 26.
“Inside Out 2”
We’ll have waited a full nine years for this sequel, but based on the excited response to the first “teaser” for this movie from Disney-Pixar in November, it’s absolutely worth it.
With central character Riley from 2015’s Inside Out now a teenager, a new emotion is introduced to the five other emotions that already fill her brain in the form of Anger, Joy, Sadness, Fear and Contempt.
Enter: a disheveled, orange Anxiety, voiced perfectly by Stranger Things star Maya Hawke.
The first film won the 2016 Oscar for Best Animated Feature and is often cited as one of Pixar’s most original films, so expectations are high.
“Inside Out 2” is released in cinemas on June 14.
“Deadpool 3”
This film is directed by Shawn Levy, who previously worked with Reynolds on 2021’s Free Guy and the following year’s The Adam Project.
“The Crown” star Emma Corrin has been cast as the film’s antagonist, joining Jennifer Garner, who is reprising her role as Elektra from “Daredevil,” as well as Brianna Hildebrand, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney and Leslie Uggams. , as well as “Succession” actor Matthew Macfadyen in an unspecified role.
Photos from the England-based venue before his strike-related ban revealed Jackman donning a comic book-accurate costume as Wolverine for the first time in his famous yellow suit.
