Films to see in 2021

[General Maximus]

Welcome to the film list of 2021. I am making this year's list hesitantly as things are very much up in the air at the moment. I always make a disclaimer and say dates are subject to change and I'll do my best to keep the list up to date and that is even more relevant this year. Pretty much every major release of 2020 was delayed until 2021 or made available on a streaming service and I am expecting that to be the case this year despite some films already having been put back for a third time into the spring. The current tier restrictions in the UK and the state of the pandemic in the US has put the cinema industry and the boxoffice in a precarious state and I wouldn't be surprised if many movies are further delayed into summer or the end of the year when a vaccine rollout is well underway and there is a relaxation in restrictions and increased consumer confidence.

As always this is a collaborative effort so if I have missed something off the list or if you would like to see a film added just make a post in this thread and I'll add it to the list. Trailers will be added as soon as they become available so keep checking back for updates.

I think this year's list is very strong and definitely better than what should have been released last year. Take a good look because there are plenty of films coming out which sound good and I hadn't heard of.

Dates in bold are films which were originally planned for this year and have been delayed until next year. This post is by no means a comprehensive list of the 2022 release slate and the films are listed purely as an advisory measure so you know what has happened to them if you were expecting them this year. A new thread will be created towards the end of the year for the 2022 schedule.

I read for Spiderman 3 that Andrew Garfield and Toby Maguire will be reprising their roles in a multi-verse. Now seeing the Trailer for Loki and the introduction of the TVA and can see this happening.

The upcoming Flash film (not on your list) also has multi-verse with Michael Keaton reprising his Batman

Yeah, it is called bad acting, fake sound effects and people shooting machine guns for no reason

Next Bond movie has been delayed till October.

[Paul]

Are you sure you have the right link ?
Thats an article from Oct 2, 2020, saying its delayed until April.

The film, starring Daniel Craig in his final stint as the agent formerly known as 007, is expected to hit theaters April 2, 2021, a year later than initially planned.

[Hugh]

Thats an article from Oct 2, 2020, saying its delayed until April.Here’s one from the Beeb.

Sorry, copied the wrong link. It has been reported by other places though.

[Paul]

Ah, thats better,

A few others as well ;

Sony also announced a delay for Camila Cabello's Cinderella, originally planned for February 5. It will now come out on July 16.

Uncharted's release date has also been moved back into next year – so you'll have to wait until February 11, 2022 to see Tom Holland as Nathan Drake.

Meanwhile, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Jared Leto's Morbius also move back again, to November 2021 and January 2022 respectively.

[General Maximus]

[Paul]

Kong vs Godzilla probably gonna be epic.
If we ever get to see it :)
It seems unlikely any cinemas in the UK will be open in March.

Still looks like a piece of crap.

[General Maximus]

Yeah, I really dont understand why they are bothering. Nobody wants to eat regurgitated shit.

[Stephen]

It's hardly regurgitated.

This new film is 4 hours long and uses most of Snyders footage.

The other JL was heavily reshot and the plot changed by Joss Whedon, due to Snyder stepping down near the end of filming because of family tragedy.

This is finally his vision come tp life. About 80% of this is unseen.

[General Maximus]

You mean Kombat lol.
yup :D You should check it out. I never watched stuff like that when I was younger because it was just too cheesy and silly but this one looks really good. I'll defo be watching it.

[Paul]

That trailer doesnt load here, but this one does ;

It does seem to have a lot of action in it.

[Stephen]

yup :D You should check it out. I never watched stuff like that when I was younger because it was just too cheesy and silly but this one looks really good. I'll defo be watching it.

I love the original movies. Yes they are cheesy but are entertaining. Saw them both in the cinema back then. Love the soundtrack too.

This one looks very good amd more like the recent games in terms of fight scenes and gore/violence.

[cimt]

That looks really good. It is looking like the bad video game movie trend is starting to change.

Bojo has announced that cinemas in England won't reopen until 17th May. The list is currently up to date. Quite a few films have shifted a week or two since I last updated date but I am expecting some big changes now that we have an end in sight. Black Widow is going to have to be pushed a couple of weeks for example.

For me that is going into the films not to see in 2021

[Hugh]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-56496213 Cineworld has announced it will reopen US cinemas next month, followed by the UK in May, after signing a deal with Warner Bros to show films in theatres before they are streamed.

The company will open a handful of its Regal cinemas in the US in early April.

Godzilla vs. Kong will be the first film to make its debut in the theatres.

Cineworld said the deal with Warner Bros means films will have a period of exclusivity in cinemas before being made more widely available.

[pip08456]

Black Widow pushed back to 9th July, will also be offered as a Premium Disney+ release same day.

That is good news

[General Maximus]

It looks like they have given it Shang-Chi's spot because it has been bumped from 9th July to September

How right you are.

Luca will be a Disney+ exclusive June 18th. Theatrical release only where Disney+ is not available.

Here's the rest that have been pushed back. (US dates UK TBC)

Free Guy on August 13, 2021 (from May 21, 2021)

Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings on September 3, 2021 (from July 9, 2021)

The Suicide Squad

[General Maximus]

Looks like absolute grade 1 shit

[Stephen]

Looks so much better than the last Suicide Squad movie we got. Although with James Gunn directing WB have made sure this is even more like the MCU/Guardians of the Galaxy and less like the Snyder DCEU that was being built up.

[General Maximus]

Just updated the list, pretty much everything has been pushed 2-4 weeks. The closest one to be aware of is Godzilla vs Kong; pushed 2 weeks to the beginning of June presumably to give cinemas a bit of breathing room and a chance to get up and running again.

I am hoping that for the first 2 weeks they bring some big hitters as well as classics back. I would love to see Infinity War and Endgame on the big screen again as a precursor to Black Widow.

[cimt]

Godzilla vs Kong is technically already out though on VoD. It was released today.

[General Maximus]

In England?

[cimt]

Yeah I have it on Amazon to rent but I won't be paying £16 for it

[General Maximus]

Cool. I think this is the kind of film i would like to see at the cinema.

The list is currently up to date. A few films have moved forward a week but the two big changes are Tom Cruise movies. Top Gun 2 which was supposed to be released in July has been delayed until November and Mission Impossible which was coming out in December has been put back to May next year.

Digital on the 22nd which is good enough for me

“Dune” director Denis Villeneuve is still bothered that his latest sci-fi epic will premiere day-and-date in theaters and HBO Max, saying that his film was made for the big screen and not for televisions.

Villeneuve in a new interview with Total Film said that the pandemic is the “enemy of the cinema” and acknowledged the “tremendous pressure” that the industry is under, but he doubled down on some of his previous comments about the film’s move to streaming.

“The way it happened, I’m still not happy. Frankly, to watch ‘Dune’ on a television, the best way I can compare it is to drive a speedboat in your bathtub,” Villeneuve said in an interview published Tuesday. “For me, it’s ridiculous. It’s a movie that has been made as a tribute to the big-screen experience.”

Well mine are 48 and 50 inch, but yeah, not quite the small 28/32 of a few years ago.

[Stephen]

I have q 46 and 55. Also a projector curre try with an 85inch wall for a screen lol.

[Damien]

Personally, I still prefer the actual cinema. Huge screen, great audio set-up and no distractions. It still feels special to walk into a theatre with a great big imposing screen.

[General Maximus]

Which is nonsense really. Many people now have tvs 55 inches or more. Or even home projectors..
but how many people have got surround systems they can be proud of. I have got a massive Sony TV, cinema projector and Bose surround sound system (which sounds amazing) but it still doesn't beat the cinema experience. I would argue that if you was going to make the effort to see one film at the cinema this year that it should be this one. The cinematography is going to phenomenal.

[Stephen]

Not as manly have surround sound setups. I've got an AV amp and quite a good setup but I know some people who aren't that bothered.

I still like the cinema too but since covid more people would rather watch films at home than go out to a cinema.

[General Maximus]

It was the busiest I have seen it in a long time for Shang Chi yesterday. I would say it was half full which isn't bad at all for a Friday lunchtime when everyone is at work or at school. I hope things pick up because films like Shang Chi and Dune deserve to do well. I think Shang Chi is going to get a massive boost from the Chinese market.

[Stephen]

Beside me there was only 5 other people in the screening I went to yesterday lunchtime.

[Paul]

Well I'm booked for 9.45pm on Sunday, So I guess I'll see how busy the Showcase is. :)

The Matrix: Resurrections

I am really looking forward to this. For me, if this is gong to work, it has to be all about the characters and story. The action and bullet time can be top notch but it won't mean anything if you don't have a deep and riveting story to immerse ourselves in.

[General Maximus]

Sony Pictures has once again moved the release date of “Venom: Let There Be Carnage,” announcing on Monday that it will be pushed up two weeks from Oct. 15 to Oct. 1. It was initially slated to premiere Sept. 24.

The move keeps the Marvel tentpole film in what is expected to be a busy October at the box office, but now puts it one week ahead of MGM’s James Bond film “No Time to Die” and three weeks ahead of Warner Bros.’ blockbuster “Dune,” which received praise following its premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

It's gunna be a short one too at 90 mins, so hopefully they use that time wisely. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm not. I thought the trailer just made it look OTT stupid and too comical. I thought the first one was watchable but i have no interest in this one.

No idea where they are going to go with this. When I first heard there was going to be a new Matrix movie I thought it was a going to be a reboot and not a fourth instalment.

I fear the worst.

[Stephen]

I fear the worst.

I can take a guess as its titled resurrection, so as also explained in previous movies the matrix repeats afresh every so often. Looks like the machines have decided that in order to prevent this they are keeping Neo alive and subdued by giving him blue pills. However others have other ideas, and so begins trying to free Neo and get him to remember who he is.

[General Maximus]

Sounds great but they need to really get into the story and what has happened (a Shang Chi job would be perfect) and not just all about the action and fight scenes.

[Paul]

Well, in theory, it can only be better than the 3rd one ......

me too. If they did another film I was expecting a prequel so I am surprised they are doing a sequel and brining him back. He looked very dead to me the last time we saw him. I hope they give us some audience satisfaction and they continue with the story like the John Wick films did and we see him enact some vengeance on the little shit who shot him. Maybe he can cut off the rest of his fingers before he kills him.

I haven't seen the first one, thanks for the quick summary though (including spoilers) lol

Plenty of white actors in films.

But art is often political. You're setting yourself up for disappointment if you think otherwise.

[General Maximus]

I was being sarcastic. I couldn't less whether people are black, white pink or blue and it really pisses me off every time a good film comes out and somebody says "there weren't enough black people in it " or "it should have had a female director". I am very passionate about the right person for the right job and being PC and giving a job to a female director for example for the sake it doesn't immediately make the film amazing. Charlies Angels is a perfect example of that. LOTR was fantastic and I didn't even notice there weren't any black people in it until they made a big deal about it at the Oscars.

I’m confused - you loved Black Panther, which had a Black director, was co-written by a Black screenwriter (with the director), and had a predominately Black cast.

What different about this film?

[Paul]

Perhaps he is questioning how "realistic" is it.

Its a common trend in films and tv from the US now.
The "representation" of minorities now generally exceeds reality.

I have no idea what % the coloured population was in the west back then (excluding slaves I guess).
I could not find an equivelent for race, but in a 2019 poll, people in the US estimated that 23.6% of the population were gay, you can probably guess where they got that perception from (the real figure is about 4.5%).

[Hugh]

"realistic"?

As compared to a fictional hidden high-tech kingdom in Africa?

Anyway, it is estimated that up to 25% of all cowboys in late 19th Century USA (after the Civil War) were Black.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/lesser-known-history-african-american-cowboys-180962144/

https://www.oupress.com/books/14520297/black-cowboys-in-the-american-west

Re the estimates - it’s not just gays they overestimate, they do the same thing for Hispanics and Blacks.

https://news.gallup.com/poll/4435/public-overestimates-us-black-hispanic-populations.aspx

The typical American estimates the percentages of blacks and Hispanics in this country to be more than twice as high as they actually are.

On average, Americans say that 33% of the U.S. population is black. In fact, a majority of Americans (56%) estimate that the percentage of blacks in this country stands at 30% or higher. As many as 17% of Americans say the percentage of blacks is 50% or greater. Only 7% accurately state that the percentage of blacks falls between 10% and 14% of the entire population.

Americans' impressions about the percentage of Hispanics in this country are somewhat more accurate than their impressions about the percentage of blacks. Americans, on average, say that 29% of the U.S. population is Hispanic, which is slightly more than twice the actual percentage of Hispanics. About two in five Americans say Hispanics constitute 30% or more of the population. Just 10% accurately estimate that between 10% and 14% of the population is Hispanic.

[Paul]

"realistic"?

As compared to a fictional hidden high-tech kingdom in Africa?

Thats a comparison you made, not me. ;)

I mearly suggested he was questioning how realistic an (almost) all black cast would be for a western.

25% is only 1 in 4 - but then of course, its possible that gangs back then would likely all be similar in make up (i.e. all black, or all white). :)

It might be, who knows until you see it.

I care not what colour the actors are. What would you have thought about LOTR if there weren't any white people in it until they made a big deal about it? Talk about double standards...
not really, i couldn't care less whether a film is all white or black (e.g. Black Panther) as long as it is a good film. All my comments were in gest and purely to point out the irony and hypocrisy of this particular film because Regina King is in it. If it was an all white cast she would be the first person to moan her ass off about the lack of black actors in it so because I noticed her in the trailer my comments were intended to sarcastically prove a point and I wonder if she said to anyone "where are the white guys?"

I mearly suggested he was questioning how realistic an (almost) all black cast would be for a western.
I am glad to see you are embracing your realism factor but in this instance I was solely trying to highlight Regina King's double standards.

You might want to remember that most people (including me) have no clue who Regina King is, or what she moans about. You point was totally lost.
