Antlers (2021)
Points of anticipation: Yes, it's been delayed before, but that doesn't always mean it's not good. I want to see a horror movie directed by Scott Cooper and I really want to see that movie with Kerri Russell.

Points of anticipation: The original was an odd one that I found myself watching multiple times as a kid. Now that I have a kid the same age I was when the first one came out... I'm hoping there will be similar results with this one. That was wordy, yes. Zemeckis is great, but needs a hit, this could maybe be it.

Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)
Points of anticipation: The first movie was fun and the title to for this sequel shows it still plans to be fun, and with Salma Hayek possibly in the lead.

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)
Points of anticipation: Taylor Sheridan directing with an interesting cast (more so after watching Hoult in "The Great" and synopsis is interesting enough.

Bad Boys for Life (2020)
Points of anticipation: The first two were mindless fun and this one shouldn't be any different. Smith and Lawrence have great chemistry, will they still have it?

Rebuilding Paradise (2020)
Points of anticipation: Ronny Howard directing a documentary is usually a good thing. This looks to be an important one, hopefully it gains the attention it should. Hopefully it deserves the attention.

Points of anticipation: Much like Woody Allen, Soderbergh is famous for a hit and then a miss. Let's hope this is a hit. He certainly has the cast for one.

Points of anticipation: Herzog documentary about about meteors and comets and their influence on ancient religions and other cultural and physical impacts they've had on Earth.

Points of anticipation: Oliver Stone is in serious need of an awesome movie, like the ones he made in the 80s and 90s. The synopsis sounds like it could be one... get back there, Stone!

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Points of anticipation: It's rare to see a superhero sequel this high on my lists; but the first one was solid and Gadot is endlessly likable. Plus, the mid-80s is so hot right now.

F9 (2021)
Points of anticipation: In 2001 I would have had a hardy laugh if one were to tell me there would be 9 of these movies. That laugh would have been even hardier if one were to tell me I wanted to see it. But alas, here we are with cinema's most indelible guilty pleasure.

Points of anticipation: This one has been on the docket for a while. I still don't much about it. Is it a movie, TV show? Limited series? I last heard it's a movie, hence why it's on the list. Ronny Howard's second spot on the list, with a solid cast and story is intriguing.

The Gentlemen (2019)

Finch (2021)
Points of anticipation: Is that Tom Hanks again? Three Tom Hanks movies in one year? It might be too good to be true, perhaps one will get bumped to 2021. This looks like his most intriguing out of the three. Plus, "Game of Thrones'" Miguel Sapochnik will have an opportunity to prove himself outside of the show. I am thinking great results!

Dune (2021)
Points of anticipation: Denis Villeneuve is directing. To say he is on a hot streak would be putting it mildly. I don't really care about the Dune story itself, but I have high hopes he can make it beautiful and interesting and the epic it, maybe, deserves.

West Side Story (2021)

Palm Springs (2020)
Points of anticipation: Lonely Island is all over this so it's guaranteed to be funny. A solid comedy is a rare commodity these days. This needs to work. It might, after all they broke a Sundance purchase record of $15 million.. and 69 cents.

In the Heights (2021)

Points of anticipation: Pixar. Besides it seeming too similar to "Inside Out" this looks like a great crowd-pleaser from the studio. Plus, they're having it be more 'colorful', which is something the brand has notably lacked.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)
Points of anticipation: Aaron-fucking-Sorkin writing and directing. Very interesting cast is joining him. This is a looooong awaited movie. I feel like it was a decade ago when I first heard about it. So, let's hope this is worth the wait!

Tenet (2020)
Points of anticipation: Chris-Goddam-Nolan. The guy loves a secret project. So I can't really tell you anything else about why I want to see it... oh yeah, John David Washington is a promising actor that has been killing it lately.

Note for this update, though I won't be chaining any of the movies and their positions I will say the Covid-19 pandemic has certainly made this list quite a strange one, considering more than half of these will no longer be released in 2020. It looks like 2021's anticipated movies list will show some similarity...
Enjoy!
