Most Anticipated Movies - 2021

Points of anticipation: Directed by Kevin McCarthy and starring a long-absent Jodie Foster. Story sounds interesting enough.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: This has been long in development and then with production issues. That's not always a good thing, but it seems to have everything else going for it with a strong action director (Liman) and cast, for starters. The trailer makes it look good enough, even if it sits along the style of "Hunger Games" and the like.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Looks nicely strange, with the nicely strange Riley Keough. Plus it's from A24, a studio with an incredible record for supporting good movies.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Yes, it's been delayed before, but that doesn't always mean it's not good. I want to see a horror movie directed by Scott Cooper and I really want to see that movie with Kerri Russell.


Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Russo Brothers getting a chance to show their chops outside of the MCU. Tom Holland starring, getting a chance to show his chops outside of the MCU and prove he is the next big thing.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: It's certainly not a guarantee this sequel will be great, but with Paul Rudd as one of the leads, I can bet it will be at least entertaining.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation:. Ridley Scott, though in past years his name would have brought this much higher on the list. The cast is interesting.

Points of anticipation: After watching Gandolfini be an annoying shit in "The Deuce" I'm not as excited as I would like to be about this "Sopranos" prequel.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: As intoxicating as Ana de Armas is, casting her as Monroe is an odd choice... but he behind the scenes photos are making me change my mind a bit. Plus, Andrew Dominick a solid director (Assassination of Jesse James) but in need of an independent hit.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: A good action/adventure is needed some weeks and Fuqua is a good director for that. Hopefully he keeps that reputation.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Oliver Stone is in serious need of an awesome movie, like the ones he made in the 80s and 90s. The synopsis sounds like it could be one... get back there, Stone!

Points of anticipation: This looks perfectly obnoxiously funny and absurd. Let's hope it is! There is shit for comedies coming up!

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: This looks like a good old-fashioned hear-wrenches. Two supreme actors hopefully perfecting the craft. The director is unproven, so I can't place this one too high.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Linklater. Interesting young cast.

Points of anticipation: Tom McCarthy directing. Abigail Breslin accused of murder... Matt Damon is the rescuer this time around.

Points of anticipation: After a delay there is still a buzz about this title. Dynamic director, excellent cast, based off of popular book.


Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Del Toro finally back with a movie that sounds like his wheelhouse. Who is that in the lead, Blanchett? I'm in.

Points of anticipation: Gaspar Noe. Let's see what fucked-up art he comes up with now...


Trailer:

Points of anticipation:. Based off of one of my favorite video games. Not sure crazy about the casting, but I have confidence Ruben Fleischer will direct this to be the fun, adventure it should be.

Points of anticipation: In 2001 I would have had a hardy laugh if one were to tell me there would be 9 of these movies. That laugh would have been even hardier if one were to tell me I wanted to see it. But alas, here we are with cinema's most indelible guilty pleasure.


Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Taylor Sheridan directing with an interesting cast (more so after watching Hoult in "The Great" and synopsis is interesting enough.


Preview material:

Points of anticipation: Peter Jackson coming out with another innovative documentary, looks awesome! I mean, it's the fucking Beatles with never-before-seen footage of making their last album. As long as the editing is top-notch this can't be bad.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Franny McD in the lead and the promising Chloe Zhao at the helm. Looks like a promising movie with an interesting plot, too.

Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Spielberg is directing, which seems strange, as it's a musical. I don't believe he has directed a musical. But hey, why shouldn't he experiment with new genres at his age? The only issue I see so far is Ansel Elgort as a lead... he is not Puerto Rican or Italian.

Points of anticipation: The first movie was fun and the title to for this sequel shows it still plans to be fun, and with Salma Hayek possibly in the lead.

Points of anticipation: Herzog documentary about about meteors and comets and their influence on ancient religions and other cultural and physical impacts they've had on Earth.
Why wouldn't I watch that?

Points of anticipation:. These movies continue to be awesome blockbuster fun that is also not brainless. It helps to know the actors do their own stunts, making the action seem more real.

Points of anticipation: Loved the original. I think Murphy & Co could do some great things with this sequel. Murphy hasn't had a solid comedic in yeeeaaars.


Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Ridley Scott passion project with a stellar cast, including Jodie Comer in a role that will see if she can impress outside of "Killing Eve"


Preview Material:

Points of anticipation: Denis Villeneuve is directing. To say he is on a hot streak would be putting it mildly. I don't really care about the Dune story itself, but I have high hopes he can make it beautiful and interesting and the epic it, maybe, deserves.


Trailer:

Points of anticipation:. A non-sequel Pixar movie.

Points of anticipation: Is that Tom Hanks? This looks like an intriguing one. Plus, "Game of Thrones" Miguel Sapochnik will have an opportunity to prove himself outside of the show. I am thinking great results!

Points of anticipation: Six years is a lot of time to wait for a new Bond. They have made a lot of good moves for this one, so let's hope it's an improvement over "Spectre".


Trailer:

Points of anticipation: C'Mon C'Mon, it's Mike Mills, he's back! Plus, Phoenix coming off his Oscar Win.

Points of anticipation: Edgar Wright directing. Cool title, cool poster. It can't possibly suck even with stars I don't care too much about seeing.

Points of anticipation: This looks like a pure fun, entertaining musical. Lin Manuel Miranda is heavily involved. It looks like it will hold up the quality from the Broadway production.


Trailer:

Points of anticipation: Wes.... Anderson. I'm a sucker for anything and all Wes.


Trailer:

Points of anticipation:. Adam McKay directing. An insane cast. Not your typical insane, an actually insane cast, starting with DiCaprio, Blanchett, Lawrence, Chalamet, and Streep.
