Far more exciting lineup of media to look forward to this year. Kong and Godzilla movies in the same year! Edgar Wright returns from exile! Bong Joon-ho makes another monster film! Apes vs. Harrelson!
Here's my most anticipated movies:
- Kong: Skull Island
- Godzilla (anime)
- War for the Planet of the Apes
- Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
- Baby Driver (Edgar Wright returns!)
- The Shape of Water (should be out by the end of the year, filmed in autumn)
- Okja (new film from Bong Joon-ho)
- John Wick Chapter 2 (should probably get around to watching the first one)
- Spider-Man: Homecoming
- Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets
- Star Wars Episode VIII
... and maybe Blade Runner 2049 (considering how much people love Arrival... another one I need to get around to seeing) and Thor: Ragnarok.
I'm not as much of a TV guy, but I'll love Rick and Morty, Doctor Who, and Stranger Things coming back, but what I'm really looking forward to is the return of Mystery Science Theater 3000! MST3K is my favorite TV series of all time, and with Joel at the helm, a strong new cast (and cameos from some of the classic cast), a rumored lineup of films that is dynamite, and (most importantly) a veritable murderer's row of writing talent I think this could end up being something special.
Oh, and I almost forgot: Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski's Ishiro Honda biography should finally make it's bow this year!
