THE LIST 2/9/17 — Most Anticipated Movies
NUMBER ONE: STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI
This follow up to the Star Wars saga is bound to be an exciting ride. Now we just need the script to leak. I need to know who the last Jedi is. Or is “Jedi” supposed to be read as plural? So there is more than one last Jedi? I don’t know but I’m excited.
NUMBER TWO: BLADE RUNNER 2049
Ryan Gossling AND Harrison Ford? By Enemy (2013) and Arrival (2016) director Dennis Villeneuve? Sign us up immediately.
NUMBER THREE: DUNKIRK
Harry Styles is in it, so I guess that’s a reason why we’re excited for Dunkirk. Christopher Nolan is directing so it’ll either be super good or just pretty and boring.
NUMBER FOUR: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, VOL. 2
First movie was fun, this movie looks fun, Baby Groot has bombs. Should be a good time for all involved.
NUMBER FIVE: WONDER WOMAN
Only Gal Gadot can save the DC Cinematic Universe. It needs her, and so do we.
NUMBER SIX: KONG: SKULL ISLAND
LOOK AT THIS POSTER THOUGH. LOOK AT IT. DAMN.
NUMBER SEVEN: KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE
Macala was pretty much the only one excited for this film on staff but she made a compelling argument if nothing else.
NUMBER EIGHT: POWER RANGERS
It’s Power Rangers, its a big budget, it looks like it’ll be either a pretty solid “Chronicle” reinvention or a pretty terrible movie. I’m hoping it’s okay but, honestly who knows.
NUMBER NINE: LOGAN
This edgy (literally and figuratively) look into the life of a grizzled Wolverine, X-23 (a young, female version of Wolverine) and Professor X as they aim to do something that will ideally destroy the Fox X-Men timeline.
NUMBER TEN: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES
Since Johnny Depp will never, ever (ever.) stop playing the swashbuckling, immortal Captain Jack Sparrow. This time, Orlando Bloom is back as Will Turner, a certainly welcome return to form from this wayward series.
NUMBER ELEVEN: JUMANJI
Okay I think the staff pulled a fast one on me because this remake/reboot/reimagining of the classic looks like its going to be objectively terrible, but it does have all the stars that people love to see like The Rock and Jack Black. People love Jack Black.
NUMBER 12: THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS
It’s a Fast and the Furious movie. We all know you’re going to watch it, whether you want to or not so I figured I should just include it on this list, leading me to our….
LEAST ANTICIPATED MOVIE: CARS 3
LIGHTNING MCQUEEN IS DEAD
