How could Ryan Reynolds follow upwards Deadpool two and Detective Pikachu? Well, Free Guy is his latest endeavour to blend sci-fi/action with night comedy — and the trailer seems promising.

BIOS (Amblin Entertainment) | October 2
Although Tom Hanks did take a post-apocalyptic thread in Cloud Atlas, nosotros haven't actually seen him flex that muscle besides much. Instead, he's been starring in biopics and dramas and Da Vinci Code spinoffs. Needless to say, BIOS is exciting considering it gives Hanks something a bit different to chew on. Non to mention, information technology's directed by Game of Thrones' "Battle of the Bastards" director, Miguel Sapochnik.
The film is attack a post-apocalyptic Earth. Hanks, who fears he will dice soon, builds a robot to protect his dearest domestic dog. That robot ends up being so much more than a protector — and learns near life, dearest and humanity. If Hanks' robotic co-star has fifty-fifty half the interim chops of Wilson the volleyball from Bandage Away, this one is probably going to be a gut dial.

This remake is directed by Robert Zemeckis and stars large-name actors Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, Stanley Tucci and Chris Rock.

When he's discovered, the Grand High Witch transforms him into a mouse.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, West Side Story will undoubtedly score large with audiences this Christmas — well, at to the lowest degree bigger than Cats scored this past holiday. We're sure of it.
If y'all're unfamiliar with the Romeo and Juliet-based W Side Story, we are shocked!

Starring Gone Girl's Ben Affleck and Knives Out'due south Ana de Armas, Deep Water is a psychological thriller based on the Patricia Highsmith novel of the aforementioned name. Afterward an xviii-yr absence from filmmaking, Adrian Lyne (Unfaithful) returns to directly the flick. We're putting our faith behind this one, namely because the source material is so stiff — and because adaptations of Highsmith's other novels have been and so incredible.
Back in 1999, the thrilling The Talented Mr. Ripley showcased the very best of Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, and in 2015, Carol, a tedious-burn romance that starred Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, gained much acclamation. For its part, Deep Water tells the story of a couple who has fallen out of dear and started playing mortiferous mind games with ane some other.

Anderson himself told IndieWire that "the story is not easy to explain. [It'due south about an] American journalist based in France [who] creates his mag. It is more a portrait of this man."

Last Night in Soho (Focus Features) | September 25

The Invisible Human (Blumhouse Productions) | February 28
If there'due south one thing the moving picture world needs, information technology's another cinematic universe poised to compete with the success of Curiosity and Star Wars and DC Comics, right? Well, that's what Universal thought when it released the universally panned The Mummy reboot, starring Tom Cruise, which was meant to launch a cinematic universe consisting of archetype monsters.
In the wake of the film flop, Universal pivoted, partnering with Blumhouse Productions to tell the other monster'due south stories. Blumhouse, of course, is now The Name™ in horror, with the company helming blockbuster series similar The Purge, Insidious and Happy Expiry Twenty-four hour period.
