Three Films to Watch for in 2019
Yeah, I know. There are guaranteed to be more superhero movies and most definitely a Star Wars movie coming around Christmas, but I’m more interested in talking about something that isn’t being shoved down my throat by Disney. The following three films are either going to be really good….or downright awful. Let’s take a peak at each:
The Hunt – Sept. 27
Synopsis: Twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are, or how they got there. They don’t know they’ve been chosen – for a very specific purpose – The Hunt.
People hunting people is always a great jumping off point for a movie. I especially like how it’s from the folks who produced The Purge and Get Out and I can just prepare myself now to be white-guilted into submission. Enough of the social stuff and more of the John Leguizamo movie from 1997!
Gemini Man – Oct. 4
Synopsis: An over-the-hill hitman faces off against a younger clone of himself.
It’s Will Smith! He’s playing two parts this time and neither is as his I, Robot character “Del Spooner”. I wonder if Will is angry that his Omega Man remake didn’t get a cooler name? Apparently this script has been making the rounds in Hollywood for years and we’re only now just being blessed with this Will Smith-Ang Lee collaboration. Will it be any good? No idea. But I do know that Jean Claude Van Damme is super pissed that this script never made its way to him.
6 Underground – TBA
Synopsis: Six billionaires fake their own deaths and form an elite vigilante squad in order to take down notorious criminals.
I have no damned idea when this movie is coming out but the synopsis and the fact that Michael Bay is making it for Netflix makes be equal parts curious and not-surprised that NFLX stock has been getting its ass handed to it these past couple of months. It also stars Ryan Reynolds who will literally do any movie you ask him to. The dates are still showing 2019 so be on the lookout for countless trailers being shown to you on Netflix soon.
So I think we’ve all learned that if you’re super rich you can hunt people, get yourself a clone, and fake your death to fight against bad guys. Being rich is awesome! I wonder how many people Warren Buffett has hunted?
