However, the filmmaker upended our expectations completely with 2018's A Tranquillity Place, which stars Krasinski and Emily Blunt as parents who struggle to proceed their family unit alive in a world overrun by monsters who use sound to find their victims.
The caveat of this post-apocalyptic earth, of course, was that anybody had to remain absolutely quiet at all times, other than whispering in a soundproof basement.

The fairy-tale with a modern twist, Onward, didn't brand our list, but it shows promise that it volition follow that heartfelt and humorous recipe Pixar is so well known for churning out. Nosotros're a dash more excited for managing director Pete Docter'south Soul.

How could Ryan Reynolds follow up Deadpool 2 and Detective Pikachu? Well, Gratis Guy is his latest endeavor to blend sci-fi/action with night comedy — and the trailer seems promising. At least, it seems fashion more promising than other video gamed-based comedies like Adam Sandler's 2015 film Pixels. The movie is set in an open-globe game called Free City — remember Fortnite meets Grand Theft Motorcar — and follows Guy (Reynolds), a non-player character (NPC) who works at a bank.

Writing for Teen Faddy, Jameelah Nasheed reported that "Zola the film is just as listen-blowing to sentry as it was to curl tweet by tweet when the story outset captivated the internet back in 2015."

"You lot wanna hear a story about why me & this b-tch hither fell out? It's kind of long but total of suspense," King tweeted. "Okay, mind up. This story long. And then, I met this white b-tch at Hooters…" What follows is a cross-land roadtrip that goes south — and becomes a woman'south fight for survival. In 2015, the viral thread defenseless the attention of everyone from Solange Knowles to Ava DuVernay — and the moving picture version has already become the talk of Sundance.
Memoria (Neon) | TBD
Thai director and screenwriter Apichatpong Weerasethakul is set to brand his English language-language debut with Memoria.

The alien Celestials, responsible for creating life on Earth, intended for the Eternals to exist the planet's protectors. These immortal beings come out of hiding to fend off their evil counterparts, the Deviants. So, where were these Eternals during Avengers: Endgame? This remains to be explained.

Previously, Lee and Netflix have collaborated on the streaming giant's series accommodation of Lee's 1986 classic She'south Gotta Have Information technology, with Lee stepping in to executive produce.
However, Da 5 Bloods marks the get-go time Lee volition direct a Netflix picture — a collaboration that seems award-worthy, especially given Netflix's latest attempts to really lean into awards season with films like Marriage Story, Dolemite Is My Name and The Irishman. Starring Black Panther'due south Chadwick Boseman, Da five Bloods tells the story of four African American vets who return to Vietnam in search of the remains of their belatedly team leader and the promise of a subconscious treasure.
BIOS (Amblin Entertainment) | October 2
Although Tom Hanks did have a mail-apocalyptic thread in Deject Atlas, we oasis't actually seen him flex that muscle too much. Instead, he'due south been starring in biopics and dramas and Da Vinci Lawmaking spinoffs. Needless to say, BIOS is exciting because it gives Hanks something a bit different to chew on. Not to mention, it'southward directed by Game of Thrones' "Battle of the Bastards" director, Miguel Sapochnik.
The film is set up on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Hanks, who fears he will die soon, builds a robot to protect his dear domestic dog. That robot ends upwardly being and then much more than a protector — and learns almost life, honey and humanity. If Hanks' robotic co-star has even half the acting chops of Wilson the volleyball from Cast Abroad, this one is probably going to be a gut punch. BIOS too stars Caleb Landry Jones (Twin Peaks: The Render), Samira Wiley (The Handmaid's Tale) and Skeet Ulrich (Riverdale).
The Witches (Warner Bros. Pictures) | Oct ix
Based on the Roald Dahl children's novel of the aforementioned proper noun, The Witches is a remake of the dark fantasy comedy circa 1990, which starred Anjelica Huston (left) as the Thousand High Witch. This remake is directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars big-proper name actors Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, Stanley Tucci and Chris Rock.
Oscar-winner Hathaway will have on the part of the Grand High Witch — and even though Huston'due south operation is iconic, we think Hathaway has the chops to make this part her own. For those unfamiliar with the source textile, The Witches tells the story of a young male child who stumbles upon a conference of witches while he's at a hotel with his grandmother. When he's discovered, the Grand High Witch transforms him into a mouse.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, Due west Side Story will undoubtedly score big with audiences this Christmas — well, at least bigger than Cats scored this by holiday. We're sure of it.
If you're unfamiliar with the Romeo and Juliet-based W Side Story, we are shocked! For those who take managed to avoid the older film and stage versions, this musical tells the story of ii star-crossed teenagers, Tony (Infant Driver's Ansel Elgort) and Maria (Hollywood newcomer Rachel Zegler), who terminate up falling in dearest in 1950s-era New York, despite having affiliations with rival street gangs — the white Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks.

Starring Gone Girl's Ben Affleck and Knives Out'due south Ana de Armas, Deep Water is a psychological thriller based on the Patricia Highsmith novel of the same proper name. Subsequently an 18-year absence from filmmaking, Adrian Lyne (Unfaithful) returns to direct the picture. We're putting our faith behind this one, namely because the source material is 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 H2o tells the story of a couple who has fallen out of love and started playing deadly heed games with one some other. Slowly but surely, those around them brainstorm dying — dun, dun, dun…!
The French Dispatch (Searchlight Pictures) | July 24
Perhaps surprisingly, Wes Anderson, director of acclaimed films similar The Grand Budapest Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom, has yet to win an Oscar. Here's hoping that The French Acceleration, his next film, nabs him some awards flavor nominations. Later on all, Anderson has his own aesthetic — something that'due south get a descriptor for other films that mimic the look of his own. Moreover, he and his inventive films have yet to allow us downward.

Anderson himself told IndieWire that "the story is non easy to explain. [It's most an] American journalist based in France [who] creates his magazine. It is more a portrait of this man."

Last Night in Soho (Focus Features) | September 25
Director Edgar Wright is known for his fast-paced, frenetic thrillers and comedies — and his track tape is pretty incredible.

He also adapted the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim five. the Globe (2010) into a much-loved film.
More recently, Wright co-wrote the screenplay for Curiosity's surprise hit Ant-Man (2015), and he wowed audiences with Baby Driver in 2017.

In the book, a man named Jake takes his unnamed girlfriend to encounter his parents, who live on a remote farm. Before the trip, the unnamed girlfriend is thinking of ending things — and regrets non doing so when the trip takes a terrifying turn.
Called the "boldest and most original literary thriller to appear in some time" by the Chicago Tribune, I'm Thinking of Catastrophe Things seems rife for adaptation by the right mind.

The picture too stars heavy-hitters, including Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, The Master), Jessie Buckley (HBO'due south Chernobyl) and Toni Collette (Hereditary, Knives Out).
The Invisible Human (Blumhouse Productions) | February 28
If there's 1 thing the film world needs, it'southward another cinematic universe poised to compete with the success of Curiosity and Star Wars and DC Comics, right? Well, that'south what Universal thought when it released the universally panned The Mummy reboot, starring Tom Prowl, 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 at present The Proper noun™ in horror, with the visitor helming blockbuster series like The Purge, Insidious and Happy Death Day. Needless to say, we're intrigued by this mod reimagining of the H.Chiliad.
