Director: David Ayer
Release Date: April 11th
I'm always on board for an Arnold action movie and David Ayer (End of Watch) has proved to be proficient at making crime movies so that's enough enough to peak my interest.
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Release Date: March 28th
Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) is a very skilled filmmaker so I will be interested to see his take on a this story and I always like Russell Crow. That being said I could see this either being really good or really bad.
Director: Scott Waugh
Release Date: March 14th
I don't think this is going to be a particularly good movie but that's not what I'm expecting. This looks like it could be a fun B-movie that provides some cheesy Fast and Furious type action.
Director: George Clooney
Release Date: February 7th
George Clooney has proved to be a solid director and his latest project looks to be a ton of fun! A WW2 action film about a group of guys trying to save valuable pieces of art from the Nazi's sounds like a fantastic premise and it features a stellar cast.
Director: Wes Anderson
Release Date: March 7th
I'm on board for anything that Wes Anderson makes, he is without a doubt the best comedy filmmaker in the industry today.
Director: Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller
Release Date: August 22nd
The first film is in my Top 100 so of course I'm excited for the follow up!
6. The Expendables 3-
Director: Patrick Hughes
Release Date: August 15th
The second film really rejuvenated my interest in the franchise after a lackluster first film. Patrick Hughes (Red Hill) is an intriguing up and coming filmmaker and the cast is even more stacked with the additions of Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Kelsey Grammer and one of my all time favorites Robert Davi!
Director: Bryan Singer
Release Date: May 23rd
This is arguably my favorite franchise of the super hero genre so no matter what I was going to be intrigued. The fact that this features both casts and Bryan Singer is returning to direct only increases my excitement!
4. Captain America: The Winter SoldierDirector: Anthony & Joe Russo
Release Date: April 4th
I think I enjoyed the first Captain America film better than all of the other Avengers films which is saying something. Not only that but "The Winter Soldier" is my favorite Captain America storyline as well!
3. Godzilla-
Director: Gareth Edwards
Release Date: May 16th
I love monster movies and I love Godzilla and thus it is one of my most anticipated movies. Director Gareth Edwards is an exciting up and coming filmmaker who's first film Monsters is a prime example of a great low budget Sci-fi film. Based on that film and the way they have been marketing the film it seems that we will have a dark, serious and visually stunning film that could be THE movie of the summer!
Director: Gareth Evans
Release Date: March 28th
The Raid is one of my all time favorites. It may have been a simple story but it is one of the most intense and superbly choreographed martial arts films I have ever seen! Gareth Evans showed that he knows how to make an action movie and the follow up looks to tell a much larger story with equally impressive choreography!
1. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes-Director: Matt Reeves
Release Date: July 11th
Planet of the Apes is one of the best Sci-fi film franchises of all time and the original 1968 film may be the best Sci-fi film of all time. So when the franchise was resurrected by Rupert Wyatt in the excellent Rise of the Planet of the Apes I was thrilled. Now the follow up looks to up the ante as a dark post-apocalyptic epic that will feature a final showdown of man vs. ape!
