Each year I feel like talking about movies coming months which excite my taste buds the most moviegoers, and every year I 'm will take a bit late. But it is never too late, after all, to showcase films by pounding and not emerging several weeks or even months. Like every year, leaving the films in the immediate future have little interest in such a ticket (or rather the list). I prefer to get my binoculars to see ahead. So, in retrospect, I realize that a year ago, I fantasized about movies with more than half are released or not released until 2011. I was a little too greedy. So, no, I will not talk about the upcoming Terrence Malick (my most anticipated film of 2011, you can be sure), Wong Kar-Wai, David Gordon Green and Tran Anh Hung. I'm waiting for them as much as the films that followed, they were already my most anticipated films of 2010 . For 2011, the lucky ones are ...
Source Code
Duncan Jones, Jake Gyllenhaal, Vera Farmiga, Michelle Monaghan, Jeffrey Wright.
The first great film can be beautiful traps for young filmmakers. Too much waiting around the second film can be a double edged sword. The first film by Duncan Jones, captivating space adventure Moon is one of the best science fiction films of recent years ... necessarily after such a long film is expected much of what we offer with Source Code . But it is clear that this second film looks much attractive. Its concept is strong: military experience pushes a soldier repeatedly relive an attack on a train to try to discover the identity of the terrorist. In the skin of the traveler in time, Jake Gyllenhaal, who really needs to return to cinema after an exciting period slacker.
Released April 20.
The conquest
Xavier De Durringer with Denis Podalydès, Bernard Lecoq, Samuel Labarthe, Florence Pernel.
French cinema looks far too little to contemporary politics so that we can afford not to look forward to this conquest. Imagine instead, focus on Sarkozy's rise to power, while it is still in place at the Elysee! The nervousness, it does not know Durringer Xavier, director of I'll go to heaven because hell is here, they're not alone. Whatever the outcome, the project is already significant and exciting. Especially since the director is slipping One of the greatest French actors, Denis Podalydès in the skin of Sarko (the role was offered to François Cluzet, who preferred to retire, not knowing where to take the role). If that could wake the French political cinema ...
release in May
Meek's cutoff
In Kelly Reichardt, with Paul Dano, Michelle Williams, Bruce Greenwood, Will Patton, Shirley Henderson. In
radius independent film, Kelly Reichardt is one of the great discoveries of the past decade. with Old Joy and Wendy and Lucy , the director has appropriated a piece of cinema and Social American naturalist with a life-giving sweetness and bitterness. No doubt we will still find this tab in the Meek's Cutoff, which promises to be a western more focused on realism than on action. My love for the genre over the work of Reichardt is a combination that makes the film a must for me in 2011. Especially we find that in the casting the fascinating Paul Dano and delicate Michelle Williams.
Release in June
I met the devil
From Kim Jee-Woon, with Choi Min-Sik, Lee Byung-Hun.
Kim Jee-Woon has perhaps not the reputation of Park Chan-Wook or Bong Joon-Ho, his filmography is nevertheless one of the most exciting in recent years, combining the social comedy ( The Foul King ), stylized film noir (A Bittersweet Life ) or Western unbridled ( The Good, the Bad and the Weird its apotheosis in my eyes!). A career sufficient to our senses about his new movie, but it must also knitting a black film to the bad reputation and putting face to face Lee Byung-Hun and Choi Min-Sik for a game of cat and mouse that looks bloody. How not to get impatient for this release which look forward?
Released July 6.
Super 8
From JJ Abrams, with Kyle Chandler, Elle Fanning, Noah Emmerich, Ron Eldard.
far, the creator of "Lost" has kept a foot in television by addressing the cinema, making Mission: Impossible III and Star Trek . It may be with his third film that we will finally discover what filmmaker JJ Abrams. At Facebook, Twitter and blogs, a time when everything is known films as and when they are manufactured, Abrams is one of the few in Hollywood knowing maintain the mystery. Until this weekend, an article in the LA Times pub and a spot aired during the Superbowl, we hardly knew what to expect from Super 8 . We now have a somewhat more accurate, and that makes your mouth water: a group of teens in America in the 70s, realize their dreams of zombie movie, see life their hometown upset by a supernatural creature released from custody following a train accident. Abrams says the film will be as much a chronicle American teenager in a 70's SF adventure film. With Spielberg and producer Kyle Chandler finally before the camera, Super 8 looks like a grain of originality in the middle of the exciting Hollywood lambda.
Released August 3.
Cowboys &
Invaders From Jon Favreau, starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Paul Dano.
So we're talking about aliens, talking about the new film by Jon Favreau. Ok, crashed with Favreau Iron Man 2 . The film was a bitter disappointment after the fun of the first, but the director has since drawn a far more intriguing project: an adaptation of a comic book in which cowboys are landing in the Far West of the 19th century invasion warlike aliens. The pitch is salivating. And with that, Favreau has paid the luxury of calling Harrison Ford to don the Stetson and face a mysterious Daniel Craig. Indiana Jones and James Bond cowboys against aliens? I sign.
Released August 31.
The order and morality
De Mathieu Kassovitz, with Mathieu Kassovitz, OEI Lapac, Sylvie Testud, Malik Zidi.
What happened to the filmmaker Mathieu Kassovitz? It's a question I am often asked these last few years. After the promise of the 90s, Kasso director went through the 2000s with a Gothika without interest and an adaptation of Babylon Babies massacring the work Dantec (that's working in Hollywood ... with Vin Diesel). For years, I expect to return to Kassovitz's La Haine , and it seems that 2011 will perhaps return to a strong and committed cinema, which characterized him. It clings to the events that marked the New Caledonia in the 80s, the fight for independence, hostage taking and police repression. I believe it.
Released September 21.
The Artist
From Michel Hazanavicius, with Jean Dujardin, Berenice Béjo, John Goodman, James Cromwell.
Making a silent film today is the least original, and inevitably, it attracts attention. When the film is carried by the duo Michel Hazanavicius / Jean Dujardin, namely the director and actor of the famous OSS 117, the LEDs are lit. Seriously, a silent film set in the Hollywood of the 20s? A strange and exciting idea at a time. Make or break. While waiting to learn more about the film, and seeing the first images, The Artist arises indisputably among the most anticipated attractions of 2011.
Output October 5.
The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn
From Steven Spielberg, starring Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Toby Jones.
is such a dream from Spielberg. And a curious desire for some of us that one day the director of Indiana Jones finally meets the hero of Hergé ... finally I am ready to overcome the skepticism of the films in full motion capture for the first waiting impatiently film which is billed as a trilogy. Tintin Haddock, Sunflower, Thomson and Thompson ... all these characters that have rocked our children will come to life under the eye of one of the greatest storytellers of the 7th Art activity. Inevitably, the challenge is enormous, and potentially dicey. Obviously, if there is someone capable of carrying out such a challenge, it's Spielberg.
Released October 26.
The monk
Dominik Moll, with Vincent Cassel, Deborah Francois, Geraldine Chaplin, Sergi Lopez.
Dominik Moll filmmaker is not to achieve frantically. Eleven years after Harry a friend who wishes you well , six years after Lemming , here it is back with a draft of the most ambitious and fascinating: an adaptation of an English Gothic novel of the 18th century focusing on a monk in Spain in the 17th century, admired by the people for his talents as a preacher known for his virtue, which will see the temptation to cross his path. The film is currently the most mysterious, but knowing the work of Moll, and knowing that he entrusted the title role of the film with Vincent Cassel, no doubt Monk be very bleak. A passage through Cannes next May seems most likely ...
output undated.
The Yellow Sea
Na Hong-Jin, Ha Jeong-woo to Kim Yoon Seok-.
It has been nearly three years, Na Hong-Jin landed with, as a first feature film, a thriller with black black The Chaser , conqueror in passing the Korean public, the Croisette and Cannes critics French. A reason. The are back with a second film for which he finds the same two players in his first, excellent Ha Jeong-woo and Kim Yoon-Seok. He also found it seems a dark universe: a man riddled with debts agrees to get out of trouble to kill someone. But before he committed his crime, he realizes that he was entrapped and that police are killer on his trail. I'm willing to kill someone The Yellow Sea theatrically released in France.
output undated, of course.
Take Shelter From
Jeff Nichols, Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain, Sheah Whigham.
I said eleven? What good stick when eleven twelfth film itches as much as the other eleven? I know he is far from certain that it theatrically released in France in the year since he did not even have a release date in the U.S., but I been good since the beginning of this post by selecting films that were almost guaranteed to come out in 2011, then I apologize to tempt you with a free electron. This free electron is the second film by Jeff Nichols, to whom we owe the splendid Shotgun Stories, released three years ago. This is partly because his first film that dazzled me Take Shelter is in this list. Nichols is also because it attaches to a man building a shed in his garden, he is persuaded by strange nightmares that a giant tornado will soon befall him and his family. Such a synopsis, carried in the leading role by the intense actor Michael Shannon (already protagonist Shotgun Stories), promises a disturbing cinematic ride. And word of mouth that spreads from Sundance seems to confirm ...
output undated, perhaps not even in 2011 ... but hope is not forbidden!
