THE LIST

Trainwreck
Director: Judd Apatow
We’re hoping this will hail Apatow’s return to form, and with the comedic timing of Amy Schumer behind it, things are looking good.

Mad Max: Fury Road
Director: George Miller
This return to the Mad Max universe LOOKS absolutely amazing in the trailers, and sounds like it’s going to be amazing, thanks to the return of George Miller and the participation of Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.

Sea of Trees
Director: Gus Van Sant
Matthew Mc Conaghey has been in top form recently, and wi that addition of Gus Van Sant, we’re pretty pumped for this little indie.

Inside Out
Directors: Pete Docter, Ronaldo Del Carmen
Pixar’s latest. We’re always happy to see what Pixar’s doing next.

St. James Place (Tentative title)
Director: Steven Spielberg
Like Pixar, we’re always interested in a new Spielberg movie. In this case, he’ll be telling the story of U.S. efforts to get a pilot who crashed over Soviet Russia released from custody.

Tomorrowland
Director: Brad Bird
Pixar creative force Brad Bird teams with “Lost” creative force Damon Lindelof to create a fantasy adventure that promises to be unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

Avengers: Age of Ultron
Director: Joss Whedon
There are a lot of superhero movies coming out this year, but Age of Ultron looks poised to be the biggest, thanks to returning director Joss Whedon, the whole Avengers cast, and the promise of at least two popular comic book story lines coming to life in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

That’s What I’m Talking About
Director: Richard Linklater
The Boyhood director follows up his his Oscar-worthy 2014 with the “spiritual sequel” to his 1993 Dazed and Confused. Maybe the “next” Matthew McConaughey will be in it…

The Hateful 8
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino’s long-awaited Western (and love letter to the Western genre) is finally due this year after an embattled development process… we can’t wait.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
Director: J.J. Abrams
Because it’s Star Wars.
