looking at movies that aren’t quite on
mainstream audiences radars or that are
overshadowed by other titles but that we
think could exceed expectations number
10 missing link release date April 12th
2019 in a year dominated by computer
animated sequels we can count on studio
like you to stand out from the rest of
the crowd with this stop-motion
adventure comedy you know like missing
link ah wait I don’t get it Zach
Galifianakis voices mr. link a yeti
searching for his place in the world
teaming up with an explorer voiced by
Hugh Jackman the hairy creature sets out
to find his people is it hot in here the
old names crack open the window doh
oh that’s better along the way he might
just get his big foot in the door of
high society Chris Butler previously
worked as a storyboard artist for
Coraline directed ParaNorman and
co-wrote Kubo in the two strings with
his second directorial outing we’re
expecting something akin to small foot
meets wallace and gromit missing link
may even be an early contender for the
what does it mean keep out we hate you
number 9 Dumbo release date March 29th
2019 the new versions of Aladdin and the
Lion King have soaked up most of the
hype but we have a feeling that Dumbo is
the live-action Disney remake that’s
gonna surprise audiences in 2019 welcome
baby boom boom well family here no
matter how small whereas some disney
remakes have tried to replicate their
animated counterparts verbatim Dumbo
seems like it’s taking a different
approach with new characters and a
unique art style at its core the story
of a misfit elephant who uses his big
ears to fly should remain intact with a
fresh set of eyes and ears though this
familiar story may soar to new heights
plus you’ve got Danny DeVito playing a
ringmaster in a Tim Burton film anybody
who loves big fish has got to appreciate
that and the strange thing is there’s
not a sad face to be found everyone is
just so glad to see you
number eight Gemini man release date
October 4th 2019 the premise for this
sci-fi film is a bit like looper without
time-travel I don’t care what hobos sob
story you got I get a dozen a week
palette cuts no cash with me
Will Smith plays a seasoned hitman being
targeted by his younger clone who is
always one step ahead of him Smith will
reportedly played both versions of
himself through D aging techniques
previously exemplified in films like The
Curious Case of Benjamin Button Georgia
two-time Academy Award winner Angley is
one of the most ambitious directors
making movies today granted sometimes
Lee has proven too ambitious for his own
good as exemplified in his previous film
Billy Lynn’s long halftime walk Gemini
man will hopefully be a return to form
for the groundbreaking director though
that lives up to his work in Crouching
Tiger Hidden Dragon and Life of Pi I
suppose in the end the whole of life
becomes an act of letting go but what
always hurts the most is not taking a
moment to say goodbye number seven a
beautiful day in the neighborhood
the 2018 documentary won’t you be my
neighbor was infamously snubbed at the
91st Oscars the Academy may make it up
to Fred Rogers however by recognizing
this biopic having previously played
Sully Sullenberger Richard Phillips and
Walt Disney Tom Hanks has built up a
reputation for portraying clean-cut
American icons so it was only a matter
of time until he played everyone’s
favorite neighbor you see I felt that
the adults around me were pressuring me
to be what I couldn’t be yet act like a
grown-up I’d hear them say well I was
afraid they’d laugh at me when I tried
Hanks is joined by Primetime Emmy winner
Matthew Reese playing a skeptical
journalist whose worldview is changed
thanks to Mister Rogers with last year’s
can you ever forgive me
mari el Heller became a director to
watch and her latest film sounds like
another fascinating true story in such
dreary times we could use a beautiful
day in the neighborhood but was at the
root of everything all learning all
parenting all relationships love or the
lack of it
number six Pet Sematary release date
April 5th 2019 in Chapter two isn’t the
only Stephen King adaptation coming out
in 2019 Wow whole place is ours I even
got into throwing her whole forest as a
new backyard king’s 1983 novel Pet
Sematary was previously brought to the
silver screen 30 years ago earning a
cult following over time the second
version stars Jason Clark and Amy Simons
as a married couple who moved their
family to Maine where a strange
graveyard is set to bring those buried
there back from the dead
whole town’s been using this place for
generations folks make a kind of ritual
out of it
John Lithgow seems tailor-made to play
the mysterious neighbor who warns the
family to stay away from the cemetery
when a loved one is resurrected however
the family faces a fate worse than death
just as a cat has nine lives this is a
story that’ll give audiences chills no
matter how many times they hear it I
but they don’t come back the same number
five bright burn release date May 24th
people have mixed feelings about zack
snyder’s interpretation of Superman with
many arguing that the Man of Steel came
off as more reckless than heroic imagine
if Clark Kent explicitly used his powers
for evil though then you’ve got
Elizabeth Banks and David Denman stars a
couple who adopt an alien child after he
crash-lands on earth although they
raised him to protect humankind little
Brandon briar is essentially Damien
thorn if you gave him Kryptonian
abilities
director David yarv Eskie previously
worked with producer James Gunn on the
guardians of the galaxy movies much like
how those films flipped the sci-fi genre
on its head we imagine that bright burn
will do something similar for the basic
Man of Steel origin story he may look
[Music]
he’s now Lucas number four knives out
release date November 27th to 2019
although ryan johnson divided onces with
the last Jedi his career is showing no
signs of slowing down if anything it’s
only gaining momentum no no you’re still
holding on we’re all well aware that
Johnson is helming a new Star Wars
trilogy but fewer people likely know
about this modern murder mystery he’s
both writing and directing Johnson
commands an all-star cast that includes
Daniel Craig look he’s Stanfield Jamie
Lee Curtis Chris Evans Toni Collette
Michael Shannon anody Armas Kathryn
Langford Don Johnson and Christopher
Plummer among others while little is
known about the plot the project has
drawn comparisons to classic whodunits
like Murder on the Orient Express and
clue for anyone who loves a good mystery
this awesome piece should definitely hit
its target the gun is missing whoever’s
got the gun shot the girl aah you number
3
yesterday release date June 28 2019 this
was my last gig if that’s happened by
now it’s like a miracle
it was happen the premise for this
musical comedy has genius written all
over it which shouldn’t come as a
surprise when you have the director of
Slumdog Millionaire and the writer of
Love Actually on board newcomer Hamish
Patel plays Jack Mallick a
down-on-his-luck musician who wakes up
from an accident to find that nobody
else knows who the Beatles are
[Music]
what did you write that I didn’t write
it for McCartney wrote it the Beatles
Hey with the rest of the world having no
recollection of the Fab Four Jack sets
out to recreate their greatest hits and
pass them off as his own
the immortal music of John Paul George
and Ringo has provided the basis for
numerous films although it’s hard to
think of one with a more original set up
than this yesterday can’t come soon
enough let me just give you this advice
song sighs hey dude hey dude are you
sure number two dr. sleep release date
November 8 2019 over three decades after
writing The Shining Stephen King
revisited the Torrens family in a sequel
he’s gonna way this adaptation of Kings
2013 novel will be directed by Mike
Flanagan who previously brought us the
haunting of Hill House Ouija origin of
evil and Gerald’s game the latter of
which was also based on a Stephen King
book you and MacGregor plays had grown
up Danny Torrance who inherits many of
his father’s demons interesting with
Danny because again here he exists in
the novel so I have to try and get em
right based on the novel and and
Stephens writing and though the fans of
the book what remains unclear is if the
film will take more inspiration from the
original source material or from Stanley
Kubrick’s cinematic interpretation of
the shining which King has frequently
criticized either way dr. sleep should
be anything but dull you’ll be
interested to see how fans of the movie
take it versus fans of the novel and if
we can please everybody we’ll see or if
you do it exactly to the book and
Stephen King still like none I like it
either before we get to our top pick
[Music]
we’ll never guess what happened she
disappeared
we’re in a debt what she didn’t just
vanish
[Music]
I’m gonna get my gear it’s a story about
Jenny’s the journeys we take to prove
it’s about inventions it’s about person
magic magic beyond anything anyone has
ever thought before number one
scary stories to tell in the dark
release date August ninth 2019
audience’s got their first glimpse of
this horror film during Super Bowl 53
and the haunting imagery displayed has
stuck with us ever since Guillermo del
Toro’s name alone is enough to pique our
interest
having previously directed modern
masterpieces like Pan’s Labyrinth
and the Best Picture winning the shape
of water we can’t think of a more
qualified visionary to bring Alvin
Schwartz’s book series to the big screen
[Music]
while del Toro serves as a writer and
producer he Ann’s directorial duties
over to Andre over Dahl who made the
acclaimed troll hunter and the autopsy
of Jane Doe we’re anticipating a film
that brings out the scared child in all
of us reminding audiences of a time when
we were all afraid of the dark next do
