just one glorious month of summer left
let’s make the most of it welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
most anticipated releases of august 2016
it’s time to follow my own path my lady
it’s Cooper for this list we’re taking a
look at new releases in the realms of
movies music and video games as well as
premieres of new TV series and new
seasons of ongoing series we’ve excluded
Batman The Killing Joke since it’s
already got a digital release in July
all it takes is one bad day we’re also
leaving out any sporting events like the
2016 Summer Olympics Rio 2016 the
Olympic game starts 5th of August across
the BBC number 10 World of Warcraft
Legion
pre-purchase légion now and receive a
level 100 character boost to use
instantly the recent Warcraft movie may
have divided audiences but World of
Warcraft remains a gaming phenomenon
nonetheless Legion the sixth expansion
pack in this online RPG takes players to
the broken Isles a newly unveiled
continent in Azeroth the expansion will
increase the level cap from 100 to 110
as well as marking the debut of the
demon hunter hero class along with the
new artifact weapons – we must wield the
power of the enemy at age 10 since 2004
wow has continuously been the gift that
keeps on giving and Legion is bound to
have gamers everywhere calling in sick
to work it’s been difficult for me to
trust after losing so much number 9 war
dogs you guys came in 53 million dollars
lower than the nearest competition based
on an insane true story war dog stars
miles teller and Jonah Hill as David
pakka’s and Ephraim differ Oly
respectively do you have an emergency
sorry don’t worry I have to go first I’m
American after scoring a 300 million
dollar contract with the Pentagon these
young arms dealers find themselves neck
deep and money in trouble we’re on the
verge making 300 million dollars is that
legal
it’s not ill with director Todd Phillips
of old school and the hangover behind
the camera war dogs has the potential to
be an explosive satire of the military
the government and the American Dream
I’m against this war this isn’t about
being pro
this is about being pro money picture
the wolf of Wall Street as a wartime
action comedy gesture and Toby they went
all yaku’s on Nikolas you know they got
crazy number eight brave enough by
Lindsey Stirling
hip-hop violinist Lindsey Stirling has
already released two successful albums
one of which even won a Billboard Music
Award her third studio album brave
enough was announced on June 28th
Stirling later uploaded a music video
for the arena on her main YouTube
channel
calling Mad Max fury road to mind what
do I call you
does it matter this post-apocalyptic
music video overflows with the inventive
choreography and passionate medleys
we’ve come to associate with Sterling’s
work the rest of the album is this
mind-blowing brave enough could be her
boldest outing yet
number seven the get down season one
what’s the get down you don’t know the
fucking get down in Baz Luhrmann the
visionary filmmaker behind Romeo and
Juliet and Moulin Rouge has been
developing this musical drama series for
over a decade that’s how I’m gonna go
down you and I the project finally found
a home on Netflix with the first half of
season 1 set to premiere this month
taking place in the Bronx during the
late 70s the story follows a group of
teenagers as disco Punk and hip-hop rise
into popularity the pale-faced media
tells us we were all going to hell but
maybe we just the first ones to light
the fire based on the rousing trailer
the get-down looks like it could be
Empire meets Fame with a touch of
Saturday Night Fever groovy
number six Pete’s dragon how long has
she been out there six years you don’t
survive in a forest for six years alone
this reboot of the 1977 Disney classic
of course centers on a boy named Pete
and his dragon Elliot
outside of that basic premise though
director David Lowery promises that his
film will be significantly different
from his predecessor for starters this
interpretation won’t be a musical and
Elliot will be brought to life through
CGI rather than the hand-drawn animation
Disney had a roaring success earlier
this year with their remake of The
Jungle Book but I’m helping Baloo get
ready for hibernation bears don’t
hibernate in a jungle not full
hibernation but i nap
let’s hope Pete’s dragon can soar to the
same heights Elliot you have no idea
what this thing is capable of number
five Kubo and the two strings
mobsters if you’re familiar with the
work of Leica animation studio you are
probably on board with all of their
releases I will never get to remember
this moment their newest production
introduces the world to Kubo a young boy
from Japan sworn to protect his family
from evil spirits it’s time to follow my
own path my name is Cooper featuring
stunning 3d stop-motion animation and a
voice cast including Charlize Theron
Rooney Mara and Matthew McConaughey from
the trailers alone
Kubo is already looking like it will be
more than just your average animated
summer popcorn flick your magic is
growing stronger to learn control number
four Deus Ex mankind divided faced with
two terrible choices I choose two lesser
evil
I will come to set in 2029 this entry in
the acclaimed Deus Ex series will once
again follow Adam Jensen who has been
tasked with hunting down Augmented
terrorists and the truth our territory
is fiercely defended no one sets foot in
man along the way Jensen discovers that
his technologically enhanced body has a
few new toys to play with
sometimes you just have to let go
mankind divided received some backlash
force reward based pre-order plan but
Square Enix fortunately cancelled this
system clean your rewards when you pick
up your copy of Deus Ex mankind divided
as for the gameplay mankind divided will
incorporate the same immersive
storytelling and badass self mechanics
that have made Deus Ex a hit franchise I
don’t care the painless speaking
whispers
I won’t let them have the last word
number three sausage party I’m so happy
that God’s put our packages together
because we belong together like we were
made for each other the premise for
sausage party is reminiscent of Toy
Story but instead of sentient playthings
our heroes are sentient food products
for a split second audiences might
assume that this CGI animated feature is
wholesome family entertainment anybody
who’s seen the hilarious red band
trailer however knows that sausage party
isn’t for your little ones
we’re also pretty sure it’s not for your
grandparents if you’re a fan of Seth
Rogen though this comedy should tickle
your funny bone as well as your taste
buds once you see that shit
good luck have fun number two no man sky
now modify the world around me a little
business and fame yes for real this time
we’ve played open universe games before
but none of them had over 18 quintillion
planets through a mathematical
computation gamers will be able to
explore the Uncharted universe of no
man’s sky for a lifetime
and still not see everything in addition
to winning multiple accolades at e3 2014
no man’s sky has also received praise
from Stephen Colbert who compared hello
games co-founder Shaun Murray to God you
I thought Morgan Freeman is God you’re
actually my second Gaza assuming we
don’t have to endure any more delays the
sky’s the limit
number one Suicide Squad what makes you
think you can control because getting
people to act against them self-interest
is what I do follow Batman vs Superman
wasn’t exactly a masterpiece but Suicide
Squad may set the DC extended universe
on the right path this anti superhero
flick centers on a team of incarcerated
villains recruited by the government to
take on hazardous missions what was that
I should kill everyone in escape sorry
the voices Suicide Squad brings together
an all-star cast that includes Margot
Robbie as Harley Quinn Will Smith as
Deadshot and an especially creepy Jared
Leto as the Joker
I’m just gonna hurt you really really
bad despite having a pg-13 rating
Suicide Squad can still hit its target
with the right balance of action comedy
and mayhem what you having beer whiskey
what am i 12 how are you have stuff
water that’s a good idea do you agree
