Universal has announced some new release dates for it's upcoming movie projects. Ranging from this year to 2016, Yes universal has decided to load up 2015 with additional movies, which is already crowded with big movies.
The thriller As Above, So Below will be hitting theaters August 15th 2014. The movie is directed by John Erick Dowdle. It's written by both John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle. A cast has not been announced yet, however the plot focuses on two archaeologists in search of a lost treasure in the catacombs below Paris. Not really a lot of information about this film to decided whether or not I'm excited to see this or not. But, a film set in Paris could be a really nice change in location, away from L.A, New York and London.
The drama A Walk Among Tombstones will hit theaters September 19th 2014. The Liam Neeson starring vehicle is based of the novel of the same name. The movie is directed and written by Scott Frank and follows Mr.Neeson as a former NYPD officer and private investigator who is hired by a drug dealer to find his missing wife. I like Liam Neeson but he hasn't been making to many films that are interesting or exciting. They also haven't got the critical reception one would hope for. Hopefully this movie can set him back on the right track.
the horror film Ouija will hit theaters October 24th 2014. The film is based on the famous board. Not to much else is known about the film as of now, but those of you who are love horror movies this film may just get you excited.
The historical drama Everest will be hitting theaters February 27th. It's rumored that Benedict Cumberbatch will star in the film, which if that's the case I will definitely see it. However, the movie follows the historical figure George Mallory in 1920 as he makes many attempts to scale Mount Everest the tallest peak in our entire world. Which is a very dangerous trek obviously.
Pitch Perfect 2 will hit theaters on May 15th 2015. The film will be directed by Elizabeth Banks, who replaces Jason Moore. Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson will both be back in the sequel
Crimson Peak will be out October 16th 2015. The film is directed by Guillermo del Toro, the mastermind behind Pacific Rim. Guillermo has stated that this film will mark a return in style to his previous Spanish horror films such as The Devil’s Backbone and the dark fantasy Pan's Labyrinth which both received high acclaim from critics. the official plot is as follows " In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers." The film will feature a strong cast starring Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, and Charlie Hunnam
The Untitled Pets Projects has very little information on it, but is slated for February 12th 2016.
Out of the movies that were announced, the most I'm excited for is Crimson Peak. I love Del Toro's work, I think he deserves more attention then he is getting. He's got a brilliant mind and I'd like to see him return to some of his weirder and darker stuff that he has been known for.
