Top 10 Upcoming English Movie 2013

Top Upcoming And the most Anticipated English Movies of 2013

10. After Earth

Starring: Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Isabelle Fuhrman, Zoe Kravitz
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Out: June 7, 2013 (U.S. Release Dates)

A father (Will Smith) and son (Jaden Smith) crash land on Earth, one thousand years after it has been abandoned by mankind. The father is captured by a remaining Earth-dwelling force, leading his son to find and save him in what has become a strange and dangerous place. After so many dreadful movies it’s amazing director M. Night Shyamalan can still secure a star like Will Smith. Smith is the only reason this is on the list, as a producer and global star he has significant control of creative aspects and is rarely associated with anything too awful. Also Shyamalan is less involved with the script this time.

9.The Wolverine

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Will Yun Lee, Svetlana Khodchenkova

Director: James Mangold
Out: July 26, 2013

An adaptation of Frank Miller’s classic 1982 comic book arc, this sees Wolverine heading to Japan where he falls for the daughter of a Japanese crime lord and goes up against Silver Samurai (Lee) and Viper (Khodchenkova). We’re told to expect different forms of martial arts – mano-a-mano, extreme fighting. Jackman says “It’s a world full of honour, tradition and customs and Wolverine’s obviously someone who’s really anti-all of that, trying to negotiate his way. He gets his ass kicked by a couple of samurai – not even mutants. He’s shocked by that at first.” Coming from a solid director (James Mangold, ’3:10 To Yuma’) and writer (Christopher McQuarrie, ‘The Usual Suspects’) this sounds different enough to erase the underwhelming memory of ‘Origins’.

8. 300: Rise Of An Empire

Starring: Eva Green, Rodrigo Santoro, Callan Mulvey, Jamie Blackley

Director: Noam Murro
Out: August 2, 2013

Prequel based on Frank Miller’s follow-up graphic novel which focuses on Greek leader Themistocles (Sullivan Stapleton, ‘Animal Kingdom’) leading Athens against Persian invaders in a battle that played out simultaneously with the Battle of Thermopylae (depicted in the first film). The story also covers the background of Xerxes (Santoro), explaining how he became ‘the God King’. Zach Snyder is directing Superman so he’s chosen his own replacement, a commercials director whose work includes recent ‘Halo’ campaigns. The visual style will match the first movie.

7.The Lone Ranger

Starring: Johnny Depp, Armie Hammer, Helena Bonham Carter, Barry Pepper

Director: Gore Verbinski
Out: May 31, 2013

“Hi-yo Silver, away!” From the writers, director, producer and star of the first ‘Pirates OTCaribbean’ trilogy comes this latest attempt to revamp the popular 30s radio show / 50s TV show. Johnny Depp is Tonto, the Indian warrior who finds a wounded Texas Ranger (Armie Hammer, ‘The Social Network’) and teams up with him to fight injustice. It’s a little unclear whether they are still going up against werewolves and the mystic, which would be a huge departure for the brand. Depp (part Cherokee) was keen to play a strong native American role, as he believes they’ve been underserved in cinema. Expect a similar energy to the ‘Pirates’ movies, and probably a big success in another previously not very commercial genre (westerns).

6.The Hangover Part III

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha

Director: Todd Phillips

Out: May 24, 2013

The wolfpack are back on another misadventure only this time it won’t have anything to do with lost memories. Instead the story is rumoured to be about Phil and Stu breaking Alan out of a mental institution. It’s a sensible move changing the formula at this stage, as it’s getting tired and this frees up their highly-entertaining wild antics. Director Todd Phillips returns, but says it’s the last ‘Hangover’ for all of them. The three leads are being paid $15m each for this, they got $300k for the first movie.

5.The Wolf Of Wall Street

Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin, Kyle Chandler
Director: Martin Scorsese
Out: TBC 2013

Based on best-selling memoirs, this chronicles a New York stockbroker’s (DiCaprio) dramatic rise and fall on Wall Street, along with his hard-partying lifestyle (such as sinking his 37m yacht) and tumultuous personal life (including drug and alcohol addiction). Things go south when he refuses to cooperate in a massive securities fraud case involving widespread corruption on Wall Street and mob infiltration. Banker-weary audiences may not have a taste for it, and the movie feels a few years too late, but with Scorsese directing, this could have all the excitement ‘Wall Street 2′ lacked. The script has been described as a ‘Casino’/'Raging Bull’ mash up in a new environment. Also Jonah Hill is back to dramatic acting after the nomination he got for ‘Moneyball’. Jean Dujardin (star of ‘The Artist’) plays a dodgy Swiss banker. Kyle Chandler (‘Super 8′) is the FBI man.

4.Anchorman: The Legend Continues

Starring: Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Christina Applegate

Director: Adam McKay
Out: TBC 2013

The Channel 4 Evening News Team are back in action. Stay Classy, San Diego. Will Ferrell has been trying to get the studio to agree to a new installment for two years, but they kept saying the numbers didn’t add up. Now they have decided they have an ‘Austin Powers’ on their hands – a movie that didn’t perform amazingly at the box office, but had legs on dvd, and the sequel will open huge. This one follows the team trying to keep up with the rise of the 24-hour news cycle. Kristen Wiig plays a love interest for Brick (Carell). Director Adam McKay returns (he’s responsible for all of Ferrell’s best movies), and says we’ll probably also see Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone (Applegate) fighting for custody over their child, and a musical number bigger than “Afternoon Delight”.

3.Thor: The Dark World

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Christopher Eccleston, Ray Stevenson
Director: Alan Taylor
Out: July 26, 2013

Marvel says the crux of ‘Thor 2′ is continuing the dynamic between Thor and Jane, as well as the relationship between Thor and Odin. Loki will be present but eclipsed by a bigger villain. Rumour has it that will be both Asgardian sorceress The Enchantress and Jotunheimian warrior The Executioner, long-time enemies of Thor. The plot will also cover what has been happening in the nine realms since the Asgardians have been unable to use the Bifrost. Don’t be surprised if ‘Avengers’-cameo-maker Thanos pops in briefly to steal the infinity gauntlet from Odin and set up ‘Avengers 2′. The director of TV’s ‘Game Of Thrones’ takes over from Kenneth Branagh.

2.Iron Man 3

Starring: Robert Downey Jr., Guy Pearce, Ben Kingsley, Rebecca Hall
Director: Shane Black
Out: May 3, 2013

Borrowing elements from the ‘Extremis’ graphic novel, this is about Tony Stark dealing with a virus that spreads through nanotechnology. Rebecca Hall (‘The Town’) plays Stark’s intellectual equal, a brilliant scientist who develops the nanotechnology that unintentionally lands in the hands of terrorists. Guy Pearce plays Aldich Killian, the evil geneticist who creates the virus. Ben Kingsley plays Mandarin, the villain pulling the strings. The hugely underrated Shane Black (‘Kiss Kiss Bang Bang’) is writing/directing, and the movie will have a global travel aspect similar to James Bond. There won’t be a role for Black Widow or any of The Avengers.

1.Superman: Man Of Steel

Starring: Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner
Director: Zack Snyder
Out: June 14, 2013

Superman reboot developed by Christopher Nolan, with a script from ‘Dark Knight’ co-writer David Goyer, although it’s definitely now Zack Snyder’s (’300′, ‘Watchmen’) movie. So expect strong visuals and action, based off solid story elements. Brandon Routh is out as Superman, replaced by ‘Immortals’ star Henry Cavill. Amy Adams is Lois Lane. Costner and Diane Lane are Ma and Pa Kent. Laurence Fishburne is Perry White. Russell Crowe will pull a Brando as Superman’s ill-fated father on Krypton. Michael Shannon is a solid pick for the rebooted General Zod (an army leader with several Kryptonian soldiers by his side). They have wisely got rid of Lex Luthor and, despite Zod, this is the first Superman movie to really go off the comics and not Richard Donner’s vision. Has enormous potential.
