Movies We are Looking Forward to in 2015

Here we are at the start of a new year and of course that means new movies are coming out this year, I put together a list of some of the geek movies we are looking forward to seeing this year.

February:

Jupiter Ascending: 6

All I can think every time I see this trailer is that it looks like another movie that Sean Bean is going to die in.  The visuals, special effects and CGI look great, but that is about it, nothing is saying please see me.

Fifty Shades of Grey: 13

Ok, probably not all that geeky but is has its fan base, since I wasted part of my life reading the books, I would actually go see the movie.  Now, I am not going opening weekend or anything like that, unless I have friends that wanted to.  I would get around at some point heading to theater to check it out, just because I want to see how they did it.  Its probably better then the book because they would have to cut things out.

March:

Chappie: 6

Not really all that thrilled with this, but these kinds of movies are rarely my thing.  With that being said I will probably see it as some point because Huge Jackman is in it; I watch just about everything he does and I am always hoping to see him shirtless.

Cinderella: 13

I would go see this only because its a live action version of Cinderella and it looks pretty interesting.  They are actually going with the fairy tale version so I am wouldn’t mind going to see this.

Divergent: Insurgent: 20

Well this has to make the list because well Divergent is a series that a lot of people like.  I have yet to attempt it but that is because I am Hunger Games person and I am really can only handle one post apocalyptic obsession at a time.

May:

Avengers: Age of Ultron: 1

Do I need to even say if I am going to see this, because everyone is going to see this. We will be there thurs night checking this out.

Mad Max: Fury Road: 15

Looks interesting, I am sure a lot of guys will be running out to see this.  I really have no desire to see this movie, it really does not do anything for me. I am not a big enough Tom Hardy fan for him to be a draw.

Tomorrowland: 22

This looks like a live action Disney movie, not fully sure what this is about, Wiki doesn’t know what this is about either.  It’s hard for me to want to see a movie that I really don’t know anything about.

June:

Jurassic World: 12

I feel like this movie is didn’t they learn anything the other times?  I think I will wait on seeing this one, I have seen dinosaurs go crazy enough times already.  Can someone please explain trying to turn dinosaurs into Shamu?

Inside Out: 19

Ok, so this basically let’s us see what goes on in other people’s head, well mainly Riley’s.  I am not sure how I feel about this, someone else is going to have to watch this and then tell me if it is any good.  I am just not feeling this one.

July:

Terminator: Genisy: 1

Well it’s another Terminator movie, so the likely hood is that I will be checking it out at some point, just don’t know if it will be theaters or on cable.  I do like the whole alternate reality concept of it, because they had to do something to change the story up because well we have seen it so many times.  How many times can Arnold get sent back to save John Connor, also Khalessi as Sarah Connor.

Minions: 10

Well I am sure many will be flocking out to see this, because pretty much everyone loves the minions from the Despicable Me movies.

Ant-Man: 17

Well its a Marvel movie, so yea checking it out is a thing.  Not to mention I am curious to see how they do the movie and the whole him shrinking down to ant size and riding bugs.  Seriously, I am kind of wondering how he doesn’t get stepped on.

Pan: 24

Well it is another live action Disney movie, checking it will be a thing, just not sure when.  It is nice that they are doing a prequel because rarely do we get a chance to see how Peter got to Neverland.  Also Hook before he is Hook and Hugh Jackman as the villain, that will be interesting to see.

August:

Fantastic Four: 7

Well I am wondering how they do the reboot since the first attempt was not all that great.  Also I want to know how they are going to explain Johnny and Sue Storm, not that I have a problem with it, just wondering what possible direction they are going with.

September:

Hotel Transylvania 2: 25

If you saw the first one, you know you are going out to see the second one.

October:

The Jungle Book: 9

If you probably checked out the other 2 live action Disney movies coming out this year, more then likely you will be seeing this one too. This one will be really interesting since Mowgli is pretty much the only human character in the whole story.

Jem and the Holograms: 23

If you grew up watching this as a kid, then you are more then likely heading out to theaters to see how they turned one of your beloved shows into a live action movie.

November:

The Peanuts Movie: 6

It’s Snoopy, who’s not going to run out and see Snoopy, it has been so long since there has been a Peanuts or Charlie Brown movie I am sure everyone will be excited for this.

Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2: 20

Seriously, will there thurs night, I must see how they end the series.  I have a lot of scenes that I am hoping they put into this one.  I also hope the movie ending flows better than the book ending.

The Good Dinosaur: 25

It’s Pixar, which means at some point we are all going to see it.  That is what happens with Pixar and Disney, we always wind up seeing those movies at some point.

December:

Star Wars: The Force Awaken: 18

We have been hearing about this movie for like 2 year, we have been wanting a new Star Wars movie for even longer.  We will be there, people are going to check this out, especially with them not using the extended universe that people know, everyone is going to wondering what the new canon is.

Alvin and Chipmucks 4: 23

I am sure it is time to stop making these movies, but kids love Alvin and Chipmunks.  Those of us that grew up watching the cartoons will probably also see it as some point just because they are beloved characters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Live Action Jungle Book Movie Casts Idris Elba?

Idris Elba is in negotiations to do the voice of Shere Khan the villainous tiger in The Jungle Book.  The movie will be directed by John Favreau of the Iron Man franchise.  The movie is said to be a combination of live action and VFX, which make sense because I can’t see any other way of doing the movie.  If they want to keep it true to the story then this would be the only way to do it.

This is one of many live action movies/tv shows that Disney is working on.  Disney has Maleficent coming out this year, they are working on a Cruella, Peter Pan, and Beauty and the Beast movies.  They are also in working on an Esmerelda tv show that might tie in with the Once Upon a Time series.

Are you excited for live action Disney movies or do you think they should stay animated?
