Should old acquaintances be forgot and never brought to mind?
)its also good to look ahead.
The Fantastic Four!!
Tom Cruises (maybe) last Mission: Impossible?!
So without further ado, here are some of the big movies to look forward to in 2025.
The tight confines and isolated setting will help Whannell ratchet up the tension with one of cinemas oldest monsters.
Netflix
More body horror transformation story than Gothic monster mash, its a fresh take on a classic.
The film also features the winsome Ariana DeBose and Sean Astin in supporting roles.
David Crow
Heart Eyes
For fans of recent horror comedies,Heart Eyesfeatures an all-star team-up.
At once knowingly funny and grounded in compelling characters,Heart Eyesis a delightfully gory Valentines Day romp.
Hopefully, that will hold everyone over until the show starts again.

Captain America: Brave New World
February 14
Captain Americawill never die!
Netflix
For once we have a villain who might be more intimidating before the CGI touch ups.
If thats not enough, Hugh Grants back to smirk at the hapless Bridget as Daniel Cleaver.
Yet the more they play with it, the more horrifying and seemingly interlinked deaths they bear witness to.
Saxon has made music videos for Bjork and Grizzly Bear, so he certainly has an A24 sensibility.
Lets hope we get to see it in time for March showers.
Browns heroine must cross the country looking for her long-lost little brother.
To put it mildly, the Russos are hardly the most compelling visual stylists in the movie business today.
However,The Electric Statehas a solid foundation in the illustrated novel by Swedish artist Simon Stalenhag.
Yes, flesh-and-blood actors Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot are in 2025sSnow White.
Okay, that gripe aside, theres a few reasons to be faintly optimistic aboutSnow White.
At least we can count on the singing to be good.
Thats enough to earn attention for his latest movie, the Blumhouse horror entryThe Woman in the Yard.
Death of a Unicorn
InDeath of a Unicorn, a unicorn dies.
And theyre on their way to a retreat operated by a pharmaceutical company.
Unfortunately for them, this unicorn hasa mama.
And we got to admit, the trailer had us laughing.
It almost certainly will find money.
That unlikely pathway seems like good training forFreaky Tales, an action comedy following four different stories in 1987.
WithDrop, however, Landon hopes to take a break from horror comedy and provide a more straightforward thriller.
Meghann Fahy stars inDropas a single mother going on her first date in some time.
But asBlack Panther: Wakanda Forevershowed, those instincts sometimes clash with the Marvel formula.
So its good to see Coogler stepping outside of the MCU again for the vampire movieSinners.
Rounding out the cast is Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, and the legendary Delroy Lindo.
So director Gavin OConnor and Affleck have teamed up again to bring accountant Christian Wolff back for another adventure.
Most of the original movies cast returns, including Jon Bernthal, J. K. Simmons, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson.
In the first film, Addai-Robinsons Marybeth Medina was a Treasury agent searching for Wolff.
Now, she must turn to help from Wolff after the death of her brother.

Until Dawn
Gamers have enjoyed the time-bending video gameUntil Dawnfor over a decade.
Not in the slightest!
So why are we excited?
But it has been a while since Boyle turned out something as electrifying as his visceral zombie movie.
So we look toFinal Destination: Bloodlineswith both excitement and trepidation.
Flanegan returns to movies for the first time sinceDoctor Sleep, once again adapting a Stephen King work.
But will Hilary Swanks Julie Pierce fromThe Next Karate Kidalso appear?
Its a biopic about Rodgers and Hart, retelling the openning night of their enduring classicOklahoma!.
Yet, we dont know anything about the movie except that it comes out in May.
Were here for the stunts.
Fortunately, behind the scenes reporting indicates that Stahelski has done some reshoots forBallerina.

June 27
Brad Pitt is starring in a Formula 1 movie.
She also could dance and sing the hell out of Bulletproof.
2022sJurassic World Dominionwas almost unwatchable and it still grossed $1 billion!
So we dont blame you if youre skeptical aboutJurassic World Rebirth.
So count on the dinosaurs to look truly terrifying again here.
And hey, the cast has got Scarlett Johanson, Mahershala Ali, andWickedbreakout Jonathan Bailey.
Maybe things are looking up?
Even the cast remains tightly under wraps.
And likeBook of Mormonand theSouth Parkmovie, its a musical.
Yep, sounds about white.
DC
Superman
July 11
It all starts withSuperman.
That honor goes to the animated seriesCreature Commandos.
But it is the first of Gunns feature films in the new universe, and easily the most important.
Still,the first trailer was refreshingly wholesome in its introduction to Krypto, the Superdog!
Clearly, GunnsSupermanaspires to once again make viewers believe a man can fly.
Maybe if they survive this outing, they can get their own legacy sequel return in 2044.
A leaked teaser featuring the team in an alternate 1960s, complete with a pitch-perfect Pedro Pascal as Mr.
Fantastic and a rousing theme by Michael Giacchino, already set many fans hearts aflutter.
Oh, it alsohas got Galactus(voiced by Ralph Ineson) going for it… which is nice.
After all, he recently just helmed the better-than-it-ever-needed-to-beChip n Dale: Rescue Rangersmovie.
And getting Liam Neeson to take on the role of Lt. Frank Drebin?
Liam Neeson has a similarly… shall we say eclectic career catalogue?
Which is perfect for a late in life turn todour straight man says the damndest things.
Pamela Anderson also stars.
Well, hes doing it again.
The love and chemistry between the two have gotten them through some tough times.
Heres hoping they can get audiences through one last lackluster horror film.
But it will probably involve lots of stomach-churning set-pieces and more of Kramers questionable self-help psychology.
JG
The Bride!
Kirsten Dunst, Ben Mendelsohn, and Peter Dinklage co-star in what sounds like a delightfulLogan Lucky-esque caper.
Love them or hate them, those names probably tell you exactly whatAnimal Friendsis.
Make your viewing decisions accordingly.
JG
Tron: Ares
We stand by the assertion thatTron: Legacyis underrated.
And we didnt even mention that beautiful Daft Punk score yet.
Alas, it looks like we will never get a sequel following up on its intriguing cliffhanger.
But is Ares friend or foe to man, the star of a good movie, or anotherMorbius?
Well, getting Jeff Bridges back and Gillian Anderson joining the cast is hopefully a good start.
But its pride of place in the heart of October suggests a level of confidence that is promising.
Memories of how effective a little genre exercisethe firstBlack Phonewas in 2021 also help.
Admittedly, part of that success stems from the Joe Hill novella the last movie is based on.
Seriously, how many other Oscar-nominated thesps would agree to play a child predator/serial killer in a horror movie?
Their returns have us open-minded to see where they could take us next.
How many of you have seenMortal Kombat: Annihilation?
Not the actual tournament?)
to turn out a solid actioner.
Were not sure whereBugoniawill land on that spectrum, but we are eager to find out.
Trachtenberg will continue to redefine the franchise withPredator: Badlands, going into the future instead of the past.
Elle Fanning stars in a dual role as twin sisters trying to survive a wasteland.
But lets be honest, its not exactly high cinema.
We dont yet know which one will be Captain Freedom.
Its fair to say theres nothing else as showstopping in the stage show as Defying Gravity.
And this time the special effects are going to be all about fire.
Thats pretty nifty, but will it actually be out only three years afterAvatar: The Way of Water?
And wouldnt you know it, likeUncut Gems,Marty Supremecrosses paths into the world of sports.
How is not exactly clear because the plot details of this drama are completely on the DL.
Sounds like a good bet.
The pic likewise features Gwyneth Paltrow, Fran Drescher, and Abel Ferrara.
DC
The Housemaid
Paul Feig might be one of the more confounding filmmakers working today.
Hes got a few absolute classics under his belt, includingFreaks & Geeks,Spy, andA Simple Favor.
And then he also madeGhostbusters: Answer the CallandThe Heat.
On the surface,The Housemaidsounds like its aiming for anotherA Simple Favor.
Those names might be buzzy enough to younger viewers that Feig doesnt register at all, good or bad.
If that sounds like the standard biopic fair,Deliver Me from Nowherehas a few things in its favor.
For one, its based on the respected book by Warren Zanes.
The Smashing Machinealso deserves attention for its star.
Johnsons crowd-pleasing instincts will surely make for an interesting mix with Safdies commitment to unnerving viewers.
