We'll be the first to admit that drawing up a list of potentially great forthcoming movies is far from an exact science. But with 2. 01. 7 so chock full of promising films both large and small, we've at least made an attempt to sort through the crowded schedule, pick out the ones we're looking forward to, and sort them into some kind of order. When the films are released we'll also add our reviews, so that you can find out if we hit the jackpot, or were left a little disappointed. With that in mind, then, here's our pick of the must- see movies of this year, which, as ever, run the gamut from expensive superhero flicks to smaller dramas to mid- budget, high- concept sci- fi pictures. Some of the following will almost certainly wind up falling short of our expectations, but there's also the fighting chance that one or two will turn out to be modern classics. So, to get things rolling, let's start with a disaster movie directed by the guy who produced Independence Day, and starring Gerard Butler..

Geostorm. We can imagine that some might already be describing Dean Devlin’s upcoming sci- fi movie, Geostorm, as a guilty pleasure. We don’t do guilty pleasures. This one simply looks a hoot.

It’s a two plots for the price of one by the looks of it. There are climate controlling satellites on the one hand, that try and prevent storms that could destroy the planet. And in the midst of that, there’s a plot to assassinate the president. Gerard Butler, no stranger to films with such plots, leads a cast that also features Abbie Cornish, Jim Sturgess, Ed Harris and Andy Garcia. The film marks Devlin’s big screen feature directing debut, and hopefully it lives up to its B- movie presence, and gives us one of 2. We’ve got until October to wait for it, though. Beauty And The Beast.

Having proven that it can make a success – both critically and commercially – of a live action take on The Jungle Book, Disney’s reworking of its animated hits in live action arrives at another cherished movie: Beauty And The Beast. The first animated film to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, the 1. Disney animated features.

The Hollywood Reporter is your source for breaking news about Hollywood and entertainment, including movies, TV, reviews and industry blogs. List of Upcoming Movies 2017 – New Upcoming Movies 2017 Movies 2017 – New Movies 2017. We'll be the first to admit that drawing up a list of potentially great forthcoming movies is far from an exact science. But with 2017 so chock full of promising. At D23 Expo, going on right now, Marvel unveiled a life-size statue of Thanos as he’ll appear in Avengers: Infinity War. And unlike previous glimpses of the Mad.

For the live action take, Bill Condon (the last two Twilight movies, Dreamgirls, Gods And Monsters) directed, and quite an ensemble was recruited. Emma Watson and Dan Stevens were in the title roles, whilst – deep breath – Ewan Mc.

Gregor, Gugu Mbatha- Raw, Stanley Tucci, Emma Thompson, Sir Ian Mc. Kellen, Kevin Kline and Josh Gad headed up the support. Alan Menken – who penned the music (with the late Howard Ashman) to the original film – was on board as well. Review. 33. A Cure For Wellness.

Gore Verbinski's last film was Disney's unfeasibly expensive western The Lone Ranger, but with A Cure For Wellness, he returned to the creepier, smaller- scale territory he explored in his Ring remake. The movie starred Dane De.

Haan, who headed to a remote clinic in the Swiss Alps to find the whereabouts of his company's missing boss. That sounded not unlike Bram Stoker's Dracula to us, albeit with a modern, medical twist: everyone at the clinic has some kind of illness, and it's discovered that De. Footnotes (2017) Review. Haan's Mr Lockhart also has the same mysterious affliction. Jason Isaacs (hello) and the brilliantly- named Mia Goth also starred. Review. 32. Murder On The Orient Express. Kenneth Branagh’s last three films have been blockbusters of varying sizes – Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Cinderella, Thor – but now he’s trying something a little smaller, and potentially a lot more playful. He’s directing and taking the lead role of Poirot in an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder On The Orient Express.

Michael Green has penned the screenplay, and the cast includes Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Josh Gad, Penelope Cruz, Michael Pena, Dame Judi Dench and seemingly half of RADA. The Greatest Showman. Founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus, politician and all- round showman PT Barnum's getting his own movie, which stars Hugh Jackman as the 1. Bill Condon co- wrote this one, and he's the bloke who brought us the magnificent Gods And Monsters - one reason why we're looking forward to this musical biopic. That, and the sight of Hugh Jackman singing and waving his arms in front of an elephant, of course. It. They all float down here. We have to admit, we were more in a lather when Cary Fukunaga was involved in this new, big- screen telling of Stephen King's It, but the story's such a magnetic one that we were looking forward to the fresh treatment anyway.

Could Bill Skarsgard come close to matching Tim Curry's legendary turn as Pennywise the terrifying clown? Would the director of the scary Mama (that's Andres Muschietti) make the new It good for a few shudders? Here's our review. Molly’s Game. Aaron Sorkin makes his directorial debut, having adapted Molly Bloom’s memoir himself. Bloom was a young skier who found herself the target of the FBI as she established a very rich international game of poker. Jessica Chastain will be playing her in the movie, leading a cast that also includes Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, Michael Cera and Chris O’Dowd.

The movie isn’t due to appear until the back end of 2. It’ll be interesting to see whether Sorkin – who landed an Oscar for writing The Social Network – translates effortlessly to the director’s chair. The Book Of Henry Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow is moving from dinosaur theme parks to more personal territory with The Book Of Henry, a drama about a young boy (Henry, played by Jaeden Lieberher) who plots to rescue his neighbour (Maddie Ziegler) from her abusive cop father (Dean Norris). Even if you weren't entirely convinced by Jurassic World, Trevorrow's debut, Safety Not Guaranteed, was a great demonstration of his dramatic skill. If you haven't seen that film yet, do seek it out - it'll give you a good idea of why we're so looking forward to The Book Of Henry.

Ghost In The Shell. Overshadowed though it was by the controversy surrounding its casting, Ghost In The Shell had some rich storytelling to draw from. Based on Masamune Shirow's manga series and leaning heavily on the 1.

Mamoru Oshii, it's a cyberpunk fable about the migration of souls to machines, and what that might mean for the future of humanity. Director Rupert Sanders said there'd be more action in his movie than the more philosophical anime movies and series. Scarlett Johansson, Takeshi Kitano and Juliette Binoche made up a sterling international cast.

Review. 26. Tulip Fever. Anyone who collected comics in the early 9. Well, centuries before investors were frantically buying copies of X- Force, a similar air of fervour surrounded tulip bulbs, of all things. Tulip Fever, written by Tom Stoppard and directed by Justin Chadwick, tells the story of a 1.

Dutch were punting out all over Europe for inflated prices in the 1. Word is that Harvey 'scissor- hands' Weinstein's been fiddling with the cut of Tulip Fever, but Chadwick and Stoppard's previous work leaves us hopeful that the movie will survive the tinkering. Once again, the cast is also tip- top: look out for Alicia Vikander, Dane De.

Haan, Christoph Waltz and the ubiquitous Cara Delevingne among the blooms. The Circle. Dave Eggers' novel of the same name is a high- tech, Orwellian dystopia for our times: a drama- thriller about a Google- like internet company and its gradual encroachment on its users' privacy. The movie, written and directed by James Ponsoldt (The Spectacular Now) stars Emma Watson as the new employee who watches as the tech firm quietly takes over the planet. Done right, The Circle could be genuinely disturbing.

Unfortunately, and presumably off the back of a disappointing run in US that saw it only gross $2. The Circle is heading straight to Netflix in the UK at the end of June. As no UK cinema release is planned, it looks like we'll have to tick this one off at home.

The Dark Tower. This one was a long time coming. Based on Stephen King's formidable collection of eight novels, it promised to be the sci- fi horror fantasy western we'd all been waiting for.

Weird Movies . Of course, Mom always allowed it, as you knew she would, fixed those pizza rolls, brought in the blankets and left the two of you to your night of magic because she sure as heck was not going to watch those “scary movies.”The creaking of the coffin filled the house as you watched, transfixed, as Sammy Terry and his spider, George, emerged to host a night of classic horror. Usually, it was one of the Universal movies starring Karloff, Lugosi, or Chaney, Jr. Bride of Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, The Black Room, Werewolf of London, The Invisible Man, The Wolfman, Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman, and Creature from the Black Lagoon were frequently shown favorites.

Quite a few of the Val Lewton RKO featuress were shown regularly, as well as the occasional Jack Arnold film, such as Monster on the Campus, Tarantula, or The Incredible Shrinking Man. Cult Classics Movies Literally Right Before Aaron (2017). My own personal favorite was Edgar G. If the films shown on Nightmare Theater were not always approached by the filmmakers as high art (i. The Wolfman) , then there was certainly consummate craftsmanship that one always felt Sammy approved of. In between the features, Sammy Terry would discuss the movies, make jokes with George and other regulars (Ghost Girl, Ghoulsbie) , have an occasional guest, talk about the Pacers, or show off the crayola drawings of Sammy and George that local children would send to WTTV 4. Sammy had an inimitable laugh that would send shivers down the 8 year old spine.

If you made it to the end of the night (and frequently did not, hence the blankets) Sammy would retreat to his coffin and bestow his wish of “Many Pleasant Nightmares.” You knew, with excitement and dread, that he would return the following Friday. There were lots of local urban myths about Sammy Terry and we were all too happy to spread those myths to fellow classmates since Sammy was a favorite subject. Of course, this was long before the days of cable TV, VCRs, and even color TV (at least until the mid 7. WTTV 4 Station ruled the roost out of the four available TV stations. Local WTTV cartoon hosts Janie, Peggy and Cowboy Bob excited too (especially Peggy, whose mini- skirts aroused the young boys and annoyed Mom. Whatever happened to Peggy?), but it simply got no cooler than Sammy, at least to the boys (most of those silly Janie- loving girls just could not appreciate the Nightmare Theater atmosphere, and they were more than a tad jealous of Peggy). When color TV finally did grace our homes, we had to adjust to Sammy Terry in color, just as we did seeing George Reeves’ Superman in red and blue rather than black and white.

The magic was Continue reading REPRINT: NIGHTMARE THEATER WITH SAMMY TERRY.
