Based on Frank Herbert’s science fiction novel of the same name, new adventure/drama Dune is the latest from Denis Villeneuve (Sicario (2015) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017).

Starring Zendeya, Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson and Oscar Isaac; the story centres around the son of a noble family who’s entrusted with the protection of the most valuable asset and most vital element in the galaxy…

I for one know very little about the dune story and the 1984 film. Nevertheless, I’m especially curious because of the director and the brilliant cast.

Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Javier Bardem, Charlotte Rampling, David Dastmalchian, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Chen Chang, Sharon Duncan-Brewster and Babs Olusanmokun also star.

Dune Release Dates: October 1st, 2021 (US & UK)…

Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz , Oscar Isaac and Allison Janney are the stars of the remake of the story of a peculiar, ghoulish family known as The Addams Family.

Directed by  Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon, the tale is based on the much-loved characters created by Charles Addams.

I’m not mad that this remake exists. However, I can’t help but feel disappointed because this is animated rather than a live-action film.

It would have been great to see the real Charlize Theron dressed up as Morticia Addams. I’d simply have loved it!

Does seeing the Addams family animated bring to mind the almost equally strange main family in the Hotel Transylvania movies, for anyone else?

Nick Kroll, Aimee Garcia, Finn Wolfhard, Scott Underwood, Bette Midler and Elsie Fisher also star.

The Addams Family Release Dates: October 11th, 2019 (US); October 25th, 2019 (UK)…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Triple Frontier (2019).

Directed by J.C. Chandor; Triple Frontier stars  Charlie Hunnam, Ben Affleck, Pedro Pascal, Garrett Hedlund and Oscar Isaac.

This one is an action/adventure where five former Special Forces operatives plan a heist in a sparsely populated multi-border zone of South America. A major heist that turns into an epic battle for survival.

Seeing the hurt in Isaac’s character’s eyes, I wonder how much sympathy these guys are going to get out of me. Either way, I’m hoping for a thrilling adventure, and with a cast as strong as this one, the chances should be good.

Adria Arjona, Sheila Vand and Reynaldo Gallegos also star.

Triple Frontier Release Dates: March 13th, 2019 (US & UK), (Internet)…

Operation Finale is the true story of the team of secret agents brought together to find Adolf Eichmann, the infamous Nazi architect of the Holocaust.

Set 15 years after World War II, Operation Finale is directed by Chris Weitz and stars Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley, Mélanie Laurent and Joe Alwyn.

I’m excited at the prospect of seeing Ben Kingsley in a movie that looks worthy of his talents. I also want the bad guy caught, of course.

As I watched this trailer, it occurred to me that so iconic is Christoph Waltz’s turn as Col. Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds (2009), that I will probably always think of him every time I see another actor in the Colonel uniform of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi army. I confess that I say this as someone who’s yet to watch Schindler’s List (1993).

Nick Kroll, Lior Raz and Haley Lu Richardson also star.

Operation Finale Release Dates: September 14th, 2018 (US)…

Written/directed by Dan Fogelman, Life Itself  is a movie about people from New York to Spain whose lives intersect over the course of different generations.

Annette Bening, Oscar Isaac, Antonio Banderas and Olivia Wilde star.

If you were thinking ‘wait a minutes. that synopsis sounds kind of familiar’, you’d be right, for director Fogelman is the creator of This Is Us, a hit TV show about the lives of the members of one family captured over the course of different generations.

I like This Is Us. It pretty much makes me cry at least once every episode. That’s because what’s captured very well in the writing is so true. One might also argue that I’m easily moved. I expect the same thing will happen with  Life Itself. But, of course, a different story with new characters.

Olivia Cooke, Samuel L. Jackson and Laia Costa also star.

Life Itself Release Dates: September 21st, 2018 (US)…
