January
They are making a sequel to Woman in Black!?! Seems like a direct to DVD cast.
Taken’s third film is coming. Still haven’t seen any of these. Famke Janssen is in this one, not sure if she isn’t in the second one. Should be supporting her career.
Chris Hemsworth is in a Michael Mann film, Blackhat, that has to be good.
Mordecai looks like it has a good cast, besides Johnny Depp. Ewan McGregor, Olivie Munn, Aubrey Plaza, Olivier Platt, Gwyneth Patrow and Jeff Goldblum.
February
They settled on, The Wachowskis, for their combined name. That makes sense.
Fifty Shades of Grey. I’ll be watching this eventually, I’m sure. Still not that big of a fan of Dakota Johnson. Plus, Jamie Dornan is #NotMyChristian
Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman, the trailer didn’t look that great but now that I see Michael Caine and Samuel L. Jackson is in it along with Colin Firth, could be decent – at least.
They are making a sequel to Hot Tub Time Machine 2!?! I thought we said everything we needed to in the first one but it seems like the cast is back (minus Cusack, naturally). I wonder if Gillian Jacobs and Chevy Chase will have any scenes together.
Kevin Costner is doing yet another sports film? At least McFarland, USA has Maria Bello.
March
I will probably watch Hugh Jackman’s Chappie eventually but he may be getting to the point where I don’t watch everything he does. I sort of already don’t as I’m sure I’m four or five films of his behind.
The Coup is an Action / Thriller with Owen Wilson and Lake Bell? I would have thought it was a comedy with Pierce Brosnan.
They are making a sequel to Best Exotic Marigold Hotel!?! Was the first one that good?
Disney and Kenneth Branagh are making a live action Cinderella film, as that is the thing to do. I was not a fan of Alice in Wonderland, at all, but this is being helmed by Branagh, who I really like. It seems unnecessary but Disney needs to keep giving us a reason to buy the original films, though I would suspect those sell themselves once they are out of the Disney Vault.
Chris Hemsworth has a second film in 2015, In the Heart of the Sea. His second film with Ron Howard.
They keep making those Paranormal Activity movies. Whenever I’m tempted to get into these films, the continuity turns me off. I bet it would have been good if I got in on the ground floor.
We still need to watch Divergent, my wife really liked the books.
Alison Brie is in a film titled, Get Hard, it appears she isn’t a large role in it but I’ll make a point of watching it once it is on Netflix or something.
April
Furious 7, the last to feature Paul Walker. Still only seen a few minutes of one of these films.
They are making a sequel to Mall Cop!?! Good grief, I thought sequels were getting out of hand last year!
Rock the Kasbah, is a musical – so I’m in. But then there is Bruce Willis, Zooey Deschanel and Bill Murray, that’s pretty awesome too!
May
Chris Hemsworth’s third film is going to be his best one of the year . . . The Avengers 2, yo! We’ll be celebrating the release of the film here on S&FwM.
That Max Max reboot is coming. Never haven’t seen any of these. Not the biggest Mel Gibson fan.
Pitch Perfect 2 may rival The Avengers!
Spy seems to be testing Melissa McCarthy’s ability to continually combine action with comedy. Or comedy with action. She’s reteaming with Rose Byrne and Jason Statham is the dude in it.
Still not sure if I can get that excited about Tomorrowland. The Harry Potter of Science Fiction, someone billed it asl. I do like the Incredibles’ Brad Bird directing and LOST’s Damon Lindeolf writing the film. So there is good pedigree there.
San Andreas, sadly not based on Grand Theft Auto but starring The Rock and hottie Alexandra Daddario.
I was waiting to make this post when Cameron Crowe’s film got a title but they are taking their time with that.
June
How star studded is Entourage’s film going to be? If they released the Aquaman episodes in a set, I would buy that.
Insidious is becoming a franchise, apparently.
Jurassic World, I’ve been waiting for this for so long! Hopefully it isn’t bad like Indiana Jones 4. That trailer made it look like it is going to rival the first one! Which I admit is the goal of the trailer.
Transporter becomes a rebooted franchise.
Diablo Cody wrote a new film, Ricki and the Flash but not that Flash.
Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline, that promises to be a good acting film
Ted 2 is finally coming! Looks like they got Amanda Seyfried as the gal in it. Mark Wahlberg’s first sequel of his own film, I believe. Which is an odd trivia note but he’s in whichever Transformers film, so he has made a sequel but not to his own film.
July
Terminator relaunch, I haven’t seen one since 3. I meant to watch Bale’s and now Matt Smith is in a film, so I want to support him. The trailer looks all over the place. Ever since they made a television series and side timelines, I feel like they have gone too far.
Magic Mike is getting its most requested sequel. Looks like Olivia Munn isn’t in it.
Ant-Man, we will be celebrating as well. Won’t be all month though.
That Pan film, after Once Upon A Time’s horrible storyline, where they butchered the story, I think I am all Peter Pan out. Plus, SciFi do an origin story only two years ago?
Judd Apatow has a new film, Trainwreck, co-written and starring Amy Schumer, so that’s pretty impressive! Bill Hader, Colin Quinn and Vanessa Bayer are in it, I like that. John Cena, I’m curious about his role. I wonder if that is why her Comedy Central show didn’t get a third season.
Poltergeist is getting rebooted. Nothing is sacred.
Sacha Baron Choen’s Grimsby, could be interesting. Anything to get Isla Fisher in more films, I say.
Point Break is being remade, good grief!
Ryan Reynolds is in Selfless along with Ben Kingsley, so I’ll watch that eventually
August
Fantastic Four will be celebrated all month long here! I’m mostly waiting to see if they are putting Thing in pants (like they should!) and how Kate Mara looks in the uniform. The Blogger Doom Twitter page shouldn’t be the only good thing that comes out of this film.
Another comedy heist film!?!
Man from UNCLE is being adapted into a film. I never saw the show but I like Henry Cavill getting another gig. Guy Ritchie writing and directing.
Straight Outta Compton, now I have that song in my head!
Ryan Reynolds’ second film, Criminal, has a great cast with Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Oldman!
September
Jane Got a Gun, reteaming Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor but in a Western. I bet it will be good.
M. Night Shyamalan is still trying to get out of movie jail with The Visit. I do like Kathryn Hahn, a horror comedy, I’m not sure about.
An Everest film, will make me want to watch a documentary on the film, based on the 1996 disaster.
The Maze Runner is apparently getting a sequel. I am curious how descriptive the novel is as it really must paint a picture having seeing the trailer for the first film. It must take pages to describe the one wall moving.
Hotel Transylvania is getting a sequel.
Nancy Meyers got a good cast in her latest comedy, The Intern. With Anne Hathaway, Adam DeVine and Robert DeNiro.
October
Another Frankenstein film? I like James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe, making it a very British adaption. Radcliffe is Igor.
London Has Fallen, stars Aaron Eckhart, so we’ll be thinking about I, Frankenstein during October.
Robert Zemeckis is making a live action film! The Walk with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Ben Kingsley. If you get a chance to watch Phippe Petit’s amazing documentary on his high wire walk between the Twin Towers, you really should in anticipation for the film. It reads like an action film, so it makes sense it is being adapted.
Disney’s other live action adaption, The Jungle Book. 2015 is Ben Kingsley’s relaunching year, I guess! All the big names are going to be voice actors in it, which makes sense. Jon Favreau directing. I wonder who Christopher Walken is going to be play?
They are relaunching the beloved Vacation franchise! Plus, sequalizing Vegas Vacation – which I like as they mention Yuma, Arizona several times in it. Chris Hemsworth is in this, marking his fourth film of the year. I imagine Chevy Chase is in this for only a scene.
Guillermo del Toro has a new film, Crimson Peak, which Charlie Hunnam will be in it. Plus and Plus! Tom Hiddleston will be the main guy in it.
St. James Place, is Steven Spielberg’s movie of the year. Amy Ryan, who I really like, is in it. Film stars Tom Hanks and will be a war film. The Coen brothers are writing it, that is one impressive pedigree of a film! Based on a true story of a 1960 U-2 incident.
We are being treated to a Jem and the Holograms live action film. Here is hoping the songs are quality!
November
Spectre, but not that one. This is the latest Bond film! Daniel Crag’s fourth one, Chrostph Waltz is the main bad guy. Monica Bellucci is in it. Good stuff! I should watch Skyfall soon.
The Peanuts film, I’m so excited about!
Friday the 13th is getting a reboot, of course.
The Hunger Games comes to its conclusion.
A Disney Dinosaur animated film, I’m in! NPH is providing a voice.
A lot of classic directors are having films out this year. Ridley Scott has a new one, The Martian. Matt Damon is in it. Here is hoping Kristen Wiig doesn’t bring it down or host SNL to promote it. I bet they get Damon and she tags along. Jeff Daniels, Sean Bean and Donald Glover are going to be in it too!
I was also going to wait until the Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen Christmas film was given a title but that isn’t happening yet either. Anthony Mackie is in it, as well.
December
Star Wars : The Force Awakens, I’m working on a special post for this. So excited that key members of the Original Trilogy are going to be in this! We had to wait until they were all aged correctly. That just saves money!
Sisters, starring Amy Phoeler and Tina Fey, as America demands another film. John Cena in his second film of the year too! Maya Rudolph will be in this, naturally, and Johnny Legs too!
Kung Fu Panda 3 will be the big family film of Christmas. I haven’t seen the sequel. We only saw the first one as the power went out that summer and in Yuma, Arizona, when the air condition stops, you go find a cool place!
Joy, David O. Russell reteaming with Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro. I guess he didn’t want to bring Christian Bale and Amy Adams along. He only wanted his Oscar winners. Hey, Bale and Adams don’t have any films out this year. Shoot!
Mission Impossible 5 is happening. Still haven’t seen the 4th one or maybe the 3rd one as well. Seems like everyone from Ghost Protocol is back, so I like that.
Jackass’ Dirty Grandpa must have been a surprising amount of money as now a comedy film with Zac Efron and Robert DeNiro is coming out.
So that’s the films of the upcoming year. Lots to get excited about!
Shadow and Flame with Magik
