Here are some of the movies I’m looking forward to this fall, which seems to start slower and have more once November/December rolls around.
- 9/14 – A Simple Favor – Paul Feig (Director of Ghostbusters (2016) and The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale) directs this comedic thriller, starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively
- 9/28 – Smallfoot – An abominable snowman (Channing Tatum) discovers humans, or “smallfoot”, in this odd musical with James Corden and Zendaya
- 10/5 – A Star is Born – Bradley Cooper makes his directorial debut, alongside the acting of Lady Gaga
- 11/9 – The Girl in the Spider’s Web – The first book of the reboot is being turned into a movie, as Claire Foy (The Crown) takes over the iconic role of Lisbeth Salander
- 11/16 – Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald – The second movie in the Harry Potter spin-off (after Where To Find Them) is sure to see all sorts of new creatures
- 11/21 – Ralph Breaks the Internet – Couldn’t wait to shut up and drive after the first one, and this sequel looks to be just as electric as they visit The Internet!!
- 11/21 – Robin Hood – Taron Egerton (Kingsman), Ben Mendelsohn (Bloodline), and Jamie Foxx star in a classic remake
- 12/14 – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse – This animated Spidey snuck into the movie world, as we focused on Tom Holland in the Marvel version, but this movie looks solid
- 12/19 – Mary Poppins Returns – 54 years since she last showed up on the screen, and 25 years after the first one took place, Emily Blunt takes the role of Mary, and Lin-Manuel Miranda co-stars
- 12/21 – Bumblebee – Transformers’ Bumblee and Hailee Steinfeld, both in the same movie…need I say more?
