The fairy-tale with a modern twist, Onward, didn't make our list, merely it shows promise that it will follow that heartfelt and humorous recipe Pixar is so well known for churning out. We're a nuance more excited for director Pete Docter's Soul.
The film follows a middle-schoolhouse music teacher, Joe Gardner, who dreams of playing at New York's legendary jazz club "The Blue Note."

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

BIOS (Amblin Amusement) | October two
Although Tom Hanks did have a post-apocalyptic thread in Cloud Atlas, we haven't really seen him flex that muscle likewise much. Instead, he'south been starring in biopics and dramas and Da Vinci Lawmaking spinoffs. Needless to say, BIOS is exciting because it gives Hanks something a chip different to chew on. Non to mention, it's directed past Game of Thrones' "Battle of the Bastards" director, Miguel Sapochnik.
The film is prepare on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Hanks, who fears he volition die soon, builds a robot to protect his beloved dog. That robot ends upwards existence and so much more than than a protector — and learns nigh life, love and humanity. If Hanks' robotic co-star has even half the acting chops of Wilson the volleyball from Cast Away, this one is probably going to be a gut punch.

Starring Gone Girl'south Ben Affleck and Knives Out's Ana de Armas, Deep Water is a psychological thriller based on the Patricia Highsmith novel of the same proper noun. After an 18-year absence from filmmaking, Adrian Lyne (Unfaithful) returns to directly the picture. We're putting our religion behind this 1, namely because the source material is so strong — and considering adaptations of Highsmith's other novels have been so incredible.
Back in 1999, the thrilling The Talented Mr. Ripley showcased the very all-time of Matt Damon, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow, and in 2015, Carol, a tiresome-burn romance that starred Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, gained much acclaim.

The film likewise stars heavy-hitters, including Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, The Master), Jessie Buckley (HBO's Chernobyl) and Toni Collette (Hereditary, Knives Out).
The Invisible Man (Blumhouse Productions) | February 28
If there's i thing the film earth needs, it's another cinematic universe poised to compete with the success of Marvel and Star Wars and DC Comics, right? Well, that'south 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 classic monsters.
In the wake of the flick flop, Universal pivoted, partnering with Blumhouse Productions to tell the other monster'due south stories. Blumhouse, of course, is at present The Name™ in horror, with the visitor helming blockbuster series similar The Purge, Insidious and Happy Death Day.
