2025

Release date (U.S.) : 8 August 2025

directed by : Paul Thomas Anderson

with : Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall

plot : unknown

Why do I want to see this ?
Even though it has been a while since Paul Thomas Anderson actually really blew me away, I still think he is one of the most interesting directors at work nowadays so each new directorial effort from him is always a big event for me. On top of that, he will be working for the 1st time with Leonardo DiCaprio, an actor with one of the most amazing track-records in the business so there will be a huge buzz around this movie, that's for sure.
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Darren Aronofsky

with : Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, Vincent D'Onofrio, Liev Schreiber, Griffin Dunne, Matt Smith, Regina King

plot : Burned-out ex-baseball player Hank Thompson unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a dangerous struggle for survival amidst the criminal underbelly of 1990s New York City, forced to navigate a treacherous underworld he never imagined.

Why do I want to see this ?
I wonder which one will be next for Aronofsky between this movie and 'Adrift' but anything from this director is pretty much always a must-see for me.

Release date (U.S.) : 21 November 2025

directed by : Edgar Wright

with : Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, Katy O'Brian, Lee Pace, William H. Macy, Michael Cera

plot : The futuristic United States of 2025 when the world has become a dystopia.

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, even though I do respect Edgar Wright's work, I do have mixed feelings about his movies (his last one, 'Last Night in Soho', was borderline disappointing for example). He is still an interesting director and it is such a cool story, the end-result could be really awesome.
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Jim Jarmusch

with : Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Charlotte Rampling, Vicky Krieps, Tom Waits

plot : Estranged siblings reunite after years apart, forced to confront unresolved tensions and reevaluate their strained relationships with their emotionally distant parents

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, even though 'The Dead Don't Die' was apparently commercially fairly successful, I really didn't like it at all and it was easily the weakest movie delivered by Jarmusch so far. Still, I have been following this director for almost 30 years (I'm huge fan of 'Dead Man') and the guy is really an artist so any directorial effort from him is always worth a look. On top of that, it will be really cool to see him working with Cate Blanchett, one of the best actress ever.

Mickey 17 (2024)



Release date (U.S.) : 31 January 2025

directed by : Bong Joon Ho

with : Mark Ruffalo, Robert Pattinson, Toni Collette, Steven Yeun

plot : To stop his substitute clone Mickey8 from supplanting him, Mickey7, an expendable robot, is dispatched to an icy planet to settle it.

Why do I want to see this ?
Bong Joon Ho has always been a solid director and I will really eager to see what he will do next after the massive critical success of 'Parasite'. I will be also interesting to see him working again with a English-speaking cast, even if 'Snowpiercer' didn't actually really blow me away.

Release date (U.S.) : 20 June 2025

directed by : Danny Boyle

with : Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ralph Fiennes

plot : Plot under wraps. The third film in the "28 Days Later" franchise.

Why do I want to see this ?
I have always been a big fan of Danny Boyle, I go way back with this director which I have been following from the very beginning of his career (Indeed, I have even seen 'Shallow Grave' in the movie theater when it was released). To be honest, even though I really liked '28 Days Later' when it came out, I don't think it grew old very well though but I think it has more to do with the fact that, after this movie was released, there was such a huge wave of zombie movies and TV-shows and not with the actual quality of Boyle’s directorial effort. Anyway, it will be really cool to go back to this story 20 years later (not exactly 28 years but who cares?).

Bugonia (2025)
Release date (U.S.) : 7 November 2025

directed by : Yorgos Lanthimos

with : Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons

plot : Two conspiracy obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.

Why do I want to see this ?
Wow... Lanthimos and Emma Stone really seem to inspire each other since it will be the 3rd movie they make together in only 3 years. Eventually, it still rather rather hard to keep up their productive pace as I still haven't watched the 2nd one ('Kinds of Kindness') as I just came out. Anyway, I really loved 'Poor Things' and even more 'The Favourite' so I will definitely check this one out as well.

Release date (U.S.) : ??? 2025

directed by : Benny Safdie

with : Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt

plot : The story of mixed-martial arts and UFC champion Mark Kerr.

Why do I want to see this ?
Since I did like 'Uncut Gems' and even loved 'Good Time', I'm really curious to see what Benny Safdie will do without his brother. On top of that, it does like an interesting story but, hopefully, it won't become some kind of generic sports biopic. It will be also interesting to see if Dwayne Johnson, one of the biggest movies stars right now, will finally try to get out of his usual comfort zone.

Release date (U.S.) : ??? 2025

directed by : Wes Anderson

with : Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benicio Del Toro, Bill Murray, Rupert Friend, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed

plot : Dark tale of espionage following a strained father-daughter relationship within a family business. Twists revolve around betrayal and morally gray choices.

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, even after watching all his movies, I still don't consider Wes Anderson as one of my favorite directors and 'Asteroid City' and 'The French Dispatch' didn't really impress me (they were still pretty decent though). Still, there is no doubt that the guy is a definitely an artist though and he always manages to gather an interesting cast so I'm definitely eager to check his next directorial effort as well.

Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Christophe Gans

with : Jeremy Irvine

plot : When a mysterious letter calls him back to Silent Hill in search of his lost love, James finds a once-recognizable town and encounters terrifying figures both familiar and new, and begins to question his own sanity.

Why do I want to see this ?
I have actually seen all the movies directed by Christophe Gans and, to be honest, most of them are actually rather forgettable in my opinion (even cult classic 'Le pacte des loups'). However, I have to admit that I have a huge weak spot for 'Silent Hill', it must be one of my favorite horror movies and I can't wait to see Gans going back to this world almost 20 years later. By the way, I can't believe I still haven't played the legendary game it is based on but that's a different story.

Black Bag (2025)
Release date (U.S.) : 14 March 2025

directed by : Steven Soderbergh

with : Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Pierce Brosnan, Naomie Harris

plot : A spy drama.

Why do I want to see this ?
I have such a love-hate relationship with Soderbergh... Right now, I have managed to watch more than 30 of his movies but, even though I do think that he is a really interesting director, I also believe that he is too productive (he did deliver around 34 movies in a 35 years career...) and it has a detrimental impact on the quality of his work. Basically, most of his movies are actually interesting but most of them do feel rather half-baked as well. Anyway, once again, this new project does sound pretty cool and he has, as usual, a very neat cast at his disposal but, to be honest, I don't have such huge expectations though.

Sinners (2025)



Release date (U.S.) : 7 March 2025

directed by : Ryan Coogler

with : Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Delroy Lindo

plot : Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.

Why do I want to see this ?
Of course, a new directing effort from Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan sounds really promising and, yet, for some reason, I can't seem to be really enthusiast about the damned thing (maybe it's because of the seriously generic title?). Hopefully, it will be awesome after all.

Release date (U.S.) : ??? 2025

directed by : Rian Johnson

with : Daniel Craig, Cailee Spaeny, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Josh O'Connor, Andrew Scott, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Thomas Haden Church

plot : Plot unknown

Why do I want to see this ?
This Benoit Blanc stuff is just super entertaining so I will definitely check this new installment when it shows up on Netflix.

Elio (2025)



Release date (U.S.) : 13 June 2025

directed by : Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi

plot : Elio, a space fanatic with an active imagination, finds himself on a cosmic misadventure where he must form new bonds with alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be.

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, with Pixar, it has been a little hit-and-miss for a years now but, since this one will be available on Disney+ at some point, I will the definitely check it out though.

Frankenstein (2025)
Release date (U.S.) : ??? 2025

directed by : Guillermo del Toro

with : Mia Goth, Oscar Isaac, Christoph Waltz

plot : Dr. Pretorious, who needs to track down Frankenstein's monster who is believed to have died in a fire forty years before in order to continue the experiments of Dr. Frankenstein.

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, I do have some kind of love-hate relationship with this director. I mean, I have seen all his movies but, even though I do respect his work, to be honest, I very often struggle to fill some real connection with his movies, even the best ones. Still, a Frankenstein tale coming from this director does sound really awesome though.
People who added this item 3 Average listal rating (0 ratings) 0 IMDB Rating 0



Release date (U.S.) : ??? 2025

directed by : Gareth Evans

with : Tom Hardy, Luis Guzmán, Timothy Olyphant, Forest Whitaker

plot : The story is set after a drug deal gone wrong, when a bruised detective must fight his way through a criminal underworld to rescue a politician's estranged son, while unraveling a deep web of corruption and conspiracy that ensnares his entire city.

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of Gareth Evans's work (in my opinion, 'The Raid' was only mildly enjoyable). However, I'm a big fan of Tom Hardy and, since this movie will be released on Netflix, I will definitely check it out.
People who added this item 4 Average listal rating (2 ratings) 6 IMDB Rating 0



Release date (U.S.) : 14 March 2025

directed by : Anthony Russo and Joe Russo

with : Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Stanley Tucci, Brian Cox, Billy Bob Thornton, Giancarlo Esposito, Anthony Mackie

plot : An orphaned teenager traverses the American West with a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter in search of her younger brother.

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, I'm not sure if it will be really interesting. Indeed, most of the blockbusters delivered by Netflix have been terribly underwhelming so far ('The Gray Man' by the Russo brothers was a perfect example). Eventually, the main reason why I added this movie on this list was, because of the strikes, there is a such a scarcity of interesting movies coming up in 2024.

2026

Release date (U.S.) : 17 July 2026

directed by : Christopher Nolan

with : Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong'o

plot : Plot unknown

Why do I want to see this ?
After the disappointing 'Tenet', the first misfire in a pretty much flawless career, Nolan made a major come-back in 2023 with 'Oppenheimer'. Even though he had some success with his historical features ('Dunkirk' was also a major critical success at the time), to be honest, I actually prefer when he gives us some really wild and ambitious SF feature. Anyway, right now, nobody knows what his next directorial effort will be about but it's already my top priority for 2026.

?????

Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Alejandro G. Iñárritu

with : Tom Cruise, Jesse Plemons, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller

plot : Plot unknown

Why do I want to see this ?
Even though 'Bardo' was definitely intriguing, it turned out to be a rather pretentious ego-trip after all but, fortunately, it was the only disappointing directorial effort delivered by Iñárritu so far and I'm still a huge fan of this director. This time, he will be working with Tom Cruise, easily the biggest movie star alive right now, and even though I never really cared for most of his movies, Cruise can be amazing when he finally picks up something really challenging which should be definitely the case here.

Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Darren Aronofsky

with : Jared Leto

plot : A fishing boat discovers an abandoned yacht with a strange distress call. A deckhand agrees to take lone control of it while it's towed into port, but soon he discovers why it is called it a "Ghost Ship."

Why do I want to see this ?
Aronofsky has already announced his next directorial project after ‘The Whale’. At least, Jared Leto sounds much more interesting than Brandon Fraser as a lead actor and it is actually pretty neat to see him working again with Aronofsky 20 years after ‘Requiem for a Dream’. The fact that Leto probably gave back then his best performance so far makes this new project with this specific director even more promising.
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Chan-wook Park

plot : After being unemployed for several years, a man devises a unique plan to secure a new job: eliminate his competition.

Why do I want to see this ?
Chan-wook Park is definitely one of the best Asian directors at work nowadays ('Oldboy' is still one of my all-time favorite movies) and I can't wait to see what this guy will do next.

Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Taika Waititi

with : -

plot : An epic space opera centered on shabby P.I. John Difool, who happens upon a mystical artifact known as the Incal-an object of great power coveted by many factions across the galaxy.

Why do I want to see this ?
I really wonder if this will ever get made. I mean, right now, Taika Waititi is a seriously crazy hot director linked to pretty much everything (MCU, Star Wars, Akira,...). So, why not also a bonkers adaptation of a really bonkers SF comic-book written by Alejandro Jodorowsky? Well, as a matter of fact, I'm actually a huge fan of this comic-book, it's probably one of my all-time favorites, so it would be awesome to see a solid adaptation and Waititi could be actually a good fit. There is a fair chance that it won't happen though.

with : Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Oscar Isaac, Jason Schwartzman, Amandla Stenberg Daniel Kaluuya, Mahershala Ali

plot : After leaving off from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the story continues.

Why do I want to see this ?
Yeah, even though I have to admit that I was actually really cautious at first, I eventually really loved the first 2 installments in this franchise so I'm definitely eager to see their next chapter.

Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Terrence Malick

with : Mark Rylance, Matthias Schoenaerts, Ben Kingsley, Joseph Fiennes, Mathieu Kassovitz

plot : A retelling of several episodes in the life of the Christ.

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, I do have a love-hate relationships with Malick's work. However, I secretly hope with each new projects that he will deliver something trully amazing and, on top of that, it should be interesting to see such a spiritual director tackle the life of Jesus.
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Noah Baumbach

with : Riley Keough, Adam Sandler, George Clooney, Laura Dern, Isla Fisher, Billy Crudup, Patrick Wilson, Greta Gerwig, Emily Mortimer, Eve Hewson, Jim Broadbent

plot : Plot unknown

Why do I want to see this ?
I have to admit that I still haven't seen 'White Noise' yet but Noah Baumbach is usually a fairly interesting director (I actually really loved 'Marriage Story' which was even my favorite movie released in 2019, no less than that). Anyway, Baumbach is working with a great cast this time around and, since this movie will be released directly to Netflix, I should see it as soon as it gets released.

Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Aris Aster

with : Joaquin Phoenix, Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal

plot : Revolves around a couple stranded in a small New Mexico town during the pandemic. Initially welcomed, the town takes a sinister turn by nightfall. It reunites director Aster with actor Phoenix, portraying a sheriff with bigger ambitions.

Why do I want to see this ?
Aris Aster's last movie, 'Beau is Afraid', turned out to be slightly a flop and, to be honest, even if I did appreciate how ambitious it was and even if Joaquin Phoenix was as usual pretty much pitch-perfect, the damned thing didn't really work after all. Still, Aster is an intriguing and seemingly talented director so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for the time being. Furthermore, he gathered a really cool cast for this new directorial effort.
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Josh Safdie

with : Adam Sandler

plot : Plot unknown

Why do I want to see this ?
Who would have thought that I would add an Adam Sandler movie on this list at some point? In fact, the main reason why I did add this movie was because I really loved the other movies delivered by the Safdie brothers, even if in this case, I really know nothing about this damned thing.
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Ron Howard

plot : This follows a young man who begins shrinking in size after playing a strange board game, which goes largely unnoticed by his parents.

Why do I want to see this ?
I have never been a huge fan of Ron Howard's work but I'm intrigued to see his first animated feature. On top of that, it will be released on Netflix so I will definitely check it out.
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Richard Linklater

with : Zoey Deutch

plot : Follows the production of Jean-Luc Godards's "Breathless".

Why do I want to see this ?
It might be surprising that I didn't put more movies directed by Richard Linklater on this list but, to be honest, except for the amazing 'Before...' trilogy and 'Boyhood', his directorial efforts really impressed me after all. However, in this case, I'm a huge fan of 'À bout de souffle' and I'm actually curious to see how Linklater will handle this intriguing material.

Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Ethan Coen

with : Margaret Qualley, Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza

plot : Coen's new film continues his lesbian B-movie trilogy after Drive-Away Dolls, centering on two women on a road trip.

Why do I want to see this ?
To be honest, except for Geraldine Viswanathan who was super charismatic, I didn't care are at all for 'Drive-Away Dolls' and my guess is that I will probably not care much about this follow-up either. Still, I have been following the Coen brothers for about 30 years now so I'm not going to drop one of them after just one misfire (at least, not yet).
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Richard Linklater

with : Beanie Feldstein, Ben Platt, Paul Mescal

plot : It follows Franklin Shepard, a talented Broadway composer who abandons his theater career in New York and all his friends in order to produce movies in Los Angeles.

Why do I want to see this ?
It might be weird to add this movie went, in fact, it will be released in 20 years(!). However, I loved 'Boyhood' so much, I think it's just awesome that Linklater will come up with something similar and I'm pretty sure the end-result will be amazing. However, it is rather surreal to think that I will be in my 60's when I will finally watch the damned thing...
Release date (U.S.) : ???

directed by : Ang Lee

with : -

plot : The Thrilla in Manila was the third and final boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. It was contested in 1975 for the heavyweight championship of the world at the Philippine Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City, Philippines, on Wednesday, October 1.

Why do I want to see this ?
Right now, there is not much information about this movie but anything directed by Ang Lee is a must see in my book.

Some of those movies are already released and some aren't released yet but I can't wait to see them
