After a long 12 months, the end of 2018 is finally upon us. Like all years, there were good times and bad times. But that recap is for another day; more specifically, it's a better fit in my Top 25 of 2018 list, which is in production at the moment. Today, it's time to look ahead to what Hollywood has in store for the next year. And let me tell you, I think 2019 has the potential to be a really special year.
Of course, these most anticipated lists can only accomplish so much. Who would have expected the horrifying surprise of Ari Aster's Hereditary a year ago? I certainly didn't expect to fall in love with Bo Burnham's Eighth Grade, John McPhail's Anna and the Apocalypse, or Daley and Goldstein's Game Night like I did. At this time last year, Joel and Ethan Coen's The Ballad of Buster Scruggs wasn't even a movie.
But if this list is any indication, we are in for a treat next year. Tarantino and Scorsese are back. It's the end of an era for Marvel and Lucasfilm. Some of horror's best and brightest return with their second acts. And of course, there will be event sequels and reboots aplenty. So let's dig into what could be coming down the pipeline over the next 12 months, starting with a few honorable mentions and special exceptions.
The Question Mark
THE FRENCH DISPATCH
Last year, I added a "Question Marks" category to my annual list, mostly because of the uncertainty around Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and James Gray's Ad Astra (both of which are on this list, oddly enough). I'm bringing the category back again this year because of Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch, a film that would easily place in the top 5 of this list if I was completely positive that we'll see it in 2019. Production is now underway on Anderson's 10th film, which features Timothée Chalamet, Tilda Swinton, Lea Seydoux, Benicio del Toro, Bill Murray, Jeffrey Wright, Frances McDormand, and more. Should production finish on the World War II-era story in early 2019, there's a chance it'll be ready for the end of the year. But common consensus is that it'll hold off for Cannes 2020, so we might just have to wait a little longer.
The Honorable Mentions
CLIMAX- When Gaspar Noé took his latest film, a surreal, LSD-laced dance fest known simply as Climax, to the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, critics approached the film with everything from skepticism to total disdain. But shortly after the first screening, festivalgoers were shocked by the chills and thrills of Noé's psychedelic spectacle. A24 was supposed to release the film in late 2018 as their first international acquisition, but the dance flick will drop in the new year instead. MARCH 1
SHAZAM!- DC dives into the deep end of comedy with Shazam!, a jokey, kid-centric superhero adventure that already looks vastly superior to much of their output thus far. I wasn't enamored with either of director David F. Sandberg's haunted house flicks, but will his heroic riff on Big do the trick for me? I think so. We could be looking at the new roadmap for the Worlds of DC if this works. APRIL 5
POKÉMON: DETECTIVE PIKACHU- I don't think anyone expected much from Pokémon: Detective Pikachu, which initially seemed like an opportunistic ploy to capitalize on the success of the popular Pokémon GO! app. But when that trailer hit in November, everything changed. Not only does it seem like Ryan Reynolds makes for a surprisingly great Pikachu, but it also feels like a brilliant attempt to bring this world to life. Suddenly, a silly cash grab is now a hotly anticipated blockbuster. Who would have guessed? MAY 10
MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL- The Men in Black trilogy seemingly ended in 2012 with Barry Sonnenfeld's MIB3, but did anyone really expect this franchise to stay dead for long? Straight Outta Compton's F. Gary Gray is directing this reboot, with Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, Rebecca Ferguson, and Liam Neeson leading the star-studded cast. I normally wouldn't be excited for a new take on a series I didn't care about in the first place, but the pedigree of the talent behind Men in Black: International is giving me second thoughts. JUNE 14
FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS AND SHAW- Atomic Blonde and John Wick director David Leitch proved his blockbuster chops with this summer's Deadpool 2, quickly resulting in a flurry of offers for high-profile titles. While he's set to take on The Division with Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain soon, Leitch will first head to the Fast & Furious universe for this Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham-led spin-off. The Furious franchise jumped the shark with 2017's eighth installment, but with a supremely talented action director like Leitch at the helm, this one has promise. AUGUST 2
GEMINI MAN- Ang Lee experienced his first major misstep in 2016 with Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, but he's roaring back next year with Gemini Man. It's a sci-fi thriller that reportedly features major VFX work to create a younger clone of Will Smith, which fits with Lee's recent inclination for technologically ambitious projects. The thought of Smith teaming up with a bona fide auteur is thrilling, and there's an exciting supporting crew led by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Clive Owen, and Benedict Wong. But is it an Oscar player or a commercial outing? We'll see. OCTOBER 4
LUCY IN THE SKY- With the success of Legion and Fargo, Noah Hawley has taken the world of television by storm. The popular showrunner is now venturing into movies with Lucy in the Sky, the chronicle of an astronaut who mentally collapses upon returning home. This looks like another risky, challenging role for Vox Lux and Annihilation's Natalie Portman, and she'll have back-up from a stellar supporting cast- Dan Stevens, Zazie Beetz, Jon Hamm, and many more. Put simply, it'll be exciting to see how Hawley's brand of idiosyncratic surrealism translates to the big screen. TBA
THE NIGHTINGALE- Jennifer Kent, the director of The Babadook, returns with an Australian revenge thriller that earned rave reviews at the Venice Film Festival. The gory adventure still doesn't have U.S. distribution, but after its upcoming showing at Sundance, let's hope that changes. TBA
UNTITLED NOAH BAUMBACH PROJECT- Noah Baumbach and Netflix proved to be a fruitful match with 2017's critically acclaimed The Meyerowitz Stories, one of the titles that ignited the cage fight between the streaming giant and the Cannes Film Festival. We'll see if Cannes allows Baumbach and Netflix to return in 2019, but this is another indie with a star-studded cast, led by Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, Ray Liotta, Laura Dern, and Julie Hagerty. The story is still under wraps, but it involves a cross-country divorce. Whatever the case may be, I'm here for it. TBA
The Top 25
25. VELVET BUZZSAW- February 1

24. UNTITLED FORD V. FERRARI FILM- June 28
Image: Fox
Christian Bale! Matt Damon! James Mangold's first movie since Logan! What's not to like?
While Mangold's Boba Fett movie may have been vanquished in the aftermath of Solo's disappointing box office performance, at least we'll get his take on an epic battle in the racing world. I can't claim to know much about the story, but after the visceral thrills of Logan, I'm all in for whatever the director does from here. And in a particularly busy summer, an old-fashioned studio vehicle like this could be a breath of fresh air.
23. KINGSMAN: THE GREAT GAME- November 8
Image courtesy of Fox
As someone who was much more satisfied with last year's Kingsman: The Golden Circle than most fans, I'm sticking with my excitement for this prequel. Reportedly set in the 1920s, The Great Game (a rumored title, but it could be official) won't feature much of Colin Firth's Harry or Taron Egerton's Eggsy. Instead, if Collider's report is to be believed, this film is "more of a period drama than a spy thriller." That would seem to be something of a letdown for some Kingsman fans, but just wait until you hear who's leading the cast. Ralph Fiennes, Rhys Ifans, Daniel Bruhl, Harris Dickinson, Charles Dance- can I just go ahead and buy my ticket now?
22. THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD- TBA
Image: IFC
With the runaway success of HBO's Veep, it took Armando Iannucci nearly a decade to follow up the Oscar-nominated In the Loop with this year's The Death of Stalin, a political satire of the highest order. Thankfully for us, the wait for Iannucci's third feature will be much, much shorter. Because while The Personal History of David Copperfield is without a release date or U.S. distribution, it's already in post-production and will probably debut later this year. The plot is unknown beyond the Dickens source material, but if I had to hedge my bets, we're looking a distinct twist on a classic tale. And with a cast that includes Dev Patel, Tilda Swinton, Ben Whishaw, Hugh Laurie, Benedict Wong, and many more stars, this is likely to be another home run from Iannucci.
21. TOY STORY 4- June 21
Image: Pixar
Okay. Toy Story 4 is, without question, the film on this list that I'm most begrudgingly anticipating. I don't think this film should exist. Toy Story 3 was a perfect ending to a perfect trilogy, and I firmly believe that Pixar should have left it alone. The early teaser trailers, with the addition of Forky and a few other new characters, aren't exactly encouraging either. But if we're getting a new Toy Story movie, you bet I'll be there opening night. This series is a part of the fabric of my pop culture identity, and I'm going to see it through to the bitter end- especially if the ending is as devastated as promised by the cast and crew.
20. HIGH LIFE- April 12
Image: A24
High Life was hugely divisive at this year's Toronto International Film Festival; naturally, I've been chomping at the bit to see it ever since. The English language debut of French director Claire Denis, the Robert Pattinson and Juliette Binoche-led sci-fi movie has been described as "impossible to describe." This kind of enigmatic quality led some critics to proclaim the film as a new masterpiece, while there were several reports of walk-outs at the film's premiere. Pattinson is a prisoner, freaky sex experiments happen, things get trippy- you know, boilerplate sci-fi stuff. On-brand as ever, A24 picked this up for an April 2019 release. We'll see if they can dupe mainstream viewers into seeing something this esoteric.
19. SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME- July 5
Image courtesy of Sony
In case you don't remember what happened at the end of April's Avengers: Infinity War, let me refresh your memory: Tom Holland's Peter Parker is currently a small pile of dust. Yes, among the many deaths that occurred in the aftermath of Thanos' climatic snap, Spider-Man's was arguably the most devastating- and the most problematic for Marvel's future. Once the shock of Black Panther and Star Lord's demise wore off, every astute comic book fan and casual viewer came to a quick realization- Spider-Man: Far From Home was already set for July 2019. So, uh, he's coming back to life, right? Anyways, it'll be interesting to see how they market this one. Summer 2017's Homecoming has grown on me, and I think Jon Watts is a solid director. Plus- Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio!
18. THE LEGO MOVIE 2: THE SECOND PART- February 8
Image courtesy of Warner Bros.
This is another curiosity on the list, in that I'm not actually sure how this oft-delayed sequel will turn out. Phil Lord and Chris Miller's The LEGO Movie is not just one of the best recent animated movies, but one of my favorites of all time. Since that 2014 masterpiece, Warner Bros. has taken the LEGO franchise and dashed away with it, releasing the highly successful LEGO Batman Movie and the much less successful LEGO Ninjago Movie. So where does that leave the continued adventures of Emmet Brickowski (Chris Pratt) and Lucy (Elizabeth Banks)? The trailers have featured a few solid gags- the Mad Max vibe is amusing, the Rex Dangervest thing is a great meta twist, and I'm sure co-directors Mike Mitchell and Trisha Gum will maintain the spirit of the first film. We'll see if this turns out to be a worthy follow-up.
17. AD ASTRA- May 24
Image: Fox
Brad Pitt opted out of starring in Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch, but he's still leading two major projects in 2019. The first is James Gray's space opera Ad Astra, which follows Pitt's Roy McBride as he embarks on an intergalactic journey to find his father. Once thought to be a last-minute addition to this year's Oscar race, the film was instead pushed to May, where it'll double as a summer blockbuster and a possible Cannes player. Yet there's still some doubt around that release date- Gray recently did an interview where he expressed skepticism that the VFX-heavy film will be ready in time for its current date. But assuming Ad Astra hits theaters in 2019, it's sure to be an event.
16. JOJO RABBIT- TBA
Image courtesy of Fox Searchlight
With last year's Thor: Ragnarok, Taika Waititi went from indie darling to popular icon in a flash. Yes, he had a solid fanbase thanks to Hunt for the Wilderpeople and What We Do in the Shadows, but the popularity of the Marvel movie took his fame to a whole new level. Instead of following up the Thor sequel with another blockbuster, Waititi is going for something a bit nuttier with Jojo Rabbit. The premise is truly bonkers- a kid who talks to an imaginary Hitler (played by Waititi) learns that a Jewish boy is being hidden by his mother (Scarlett Johansson). It's sure to be a tricky tonal concoction, but if anyone can pull it off, Waititi might be the guy. And in addition to his own star performance, Waititi will also have the help of a tremendous ensemble, including Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Thomasin McKenzie, and Stephen Merchant.
15. CAPTAIN MARVEL- March 8
Image: Marvel
Speaking of Marvel, here comes the Captain to save us all from the clutches of the Mad Titan. In an exhausting time for Marvel fans, Brie Larson's Carol Danvers has provided a glimmer of hope; after all, when Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) vanished, he sent a distress signal to his old friend. And if the trailer for Avengers: Endgame is any indication, it seems entirely plausible that Danvers will also be responsible for saving Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) from certain death in space. But before she faces off against Thanos, Captain Marvel will be getting her own solo movie, courtesy of Mississippi Grind directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck. The film kinda looks like Jason Bourne by way of Top Gun by way of a 90s action movie, which is an interesting combination. The trailers haven't completely hooked me yet, but as the final piece of the Endgame puzzle, I'm there in a heartbeat.
14. THE LIGHTHOUSE- TBA
Image: A24
Robert Eggers' The Witch (or The VVitch, depending on who you ask) is one of the more universally beloved horror debuts of the last several years, though I feel like I'm slightly less enamored with the eerie fable than everyone else. Still, if you're a horror fan and you're not excited for Eggers' long-awaited follow-up, I think there might be something wrong with you. With the spectacular duo of Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe leading the way, The Lighthouse looks to be another creepy New England tale from Eggers, following the journey of a lighthouse keeper in 19th century Maine. Plus, if you take a glance at the IMDb page, the technical specs are genuinely staggering for an A24-backed indie- Eggers reportedly shot the film on black-and-white stock with equipment from the 1920s and 40s. Who knows when this'll premiere, but I couldn't be more ready.
13. JOKER- October 4
Image: Warner Bros.
Joker is either going to be the next Venom or a bold and exciting new step for the super(villain) genre. Of course, when this film was first announced, it sounded like a recipe for disaster. A movie about the Joker? Directed by Todd Phillips? Imitating Martin Scorsese classics from the 1970s and 80s? Give me a break. But something about the project enticed Joaquin Phoenix to star as the Clown Prince of Crime, which is more than enough to gain my attention. With an endless array of fascinating movies- The Sisters Brothers, You Were Never Really Here, Inherent Vice- Phoenix is quite possibly our most enigmatic and talented working actor, so his first dip into mainstream superhero cinema (he was supposed to star as Doctor Strange) is obviously a must-watch. Also, what a supporting cast- Zazie Beetz, Bill Camp, Robert De Niro, and Marc Maron headline the anti-hero saga.
12. LITTLE WOMEN- December 25
Image: A24
Greta Gerwig took the indie world by storm in 2017 with Lady Bird, a very personal coming-of-age story that earned rave reviews, Oscar nominations, and instant classic status among young moviegoers. Gerwig is returning next year with another adaptation of Little Women, a story that has seen no shortage of cinematic treatments in recent years (the Pure Flix version hit theaters in late September). But if you think the familiarity of the story will dim my excitement for Gerwig's take, you're sorely mistaken. After the near-perfection of Lady Bird, how could anyone not be excited for her follow-up? And especially one with a cast for the ages- Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, Eliza Scanlen, Bob Odenkirk, etc. I've got a good feeling about this one.
11. IT: CHAPTER TWO- September 6
Image courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures
The horror resurgence of the 2010s saw its biggest blockbuster with Andy Muscietti's IT, which chronicled the terrifying first half of Stephen King's iconic novel and became a massive hit in the process. There were originally some questions about whether the second part of the book would be adapted, but after $700 million in worldwide box office receipts, Chapter Two was a no-brainer. The nostalgia of the 80s gives way to a modern chiller, with James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, and more taking over as the older versions of these young stars (they'll make cameo appearances). But the film's villain will be a familiar face- Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise is back to terrify the Losers Club once more. With Muschietti in the director's chair for the second part, will lightning strike twice?
10. KNIVES OUT- November 27
Image: Lucasfilm
Ignore the vicious online discourse- Rian Johnson made the best Star Wars movie in a generation with 2017's The Last Jedi. Before he returns to craft his new trilogy for Lucasfilm, Johnson is taking a huge, exciting swing with Knives Out, a murder mystery reportedly told in the tradition of Agatha Christie detective novels. Beyond the fact that this is Johnson's follow-up to a blockbuster triumph, Knives Out boasts one of the best ensemble casts of the year. Daniel Craig jumped aboard as the star detective during his Bond 25 hiatus, but the supporting cast- Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lakeith Stanfield, Ana de Armas, Toni Collette, Katherine Langford, Don Johnson, Jaeden Lieberher, and Christopher Plummer- is arguably even more stunning. Are we looking at an Oscar contender, a genre favorite, or a unique passion project? Who cares- I'm all in.
9. JOHN WICK: CHAPTER THREE- May 17
Image courtesy of Lionsgate
When the credits rolled on John Wick: Chapter Two, with Keanu Reeves' hitman on the run from a city of assassins out for blood, the guy sitting next to me said something to the extent of, "Well, I guess we're getting another one." My response? "If they're all this good, I'll keep coming."
Chad Stahelski and Reeves return for what could be a trilogy capper, continuing the story of the excommunicated assassin as he faces an army of opposition. Wick is on the run, but he certainly won't go down without a fight. We'll certainly get more great action scenes, and the additions of Halle Berry, Jason Mantzoukas, and Anjelica Huston to the cast are quite enticing.
Also- John Wick: Chapter Three features Wick riding a horse. That is all I need to say.
8. GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS- May 31
Image courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures
Before the iconic giant lizard faces off against King Kong in Adam Wingard's 2020 smackdown, Krampus director Michael Dougherty will introduce the world to a whole new universe of monsters in this year's sequel. To be quite honest, I had minimal interest in this outing until the first trailer came along. But that first trailer, man. Set to awe-inspiring classical music, the incredible first look promised a blockbuster of unparalleled size and spectacular vision. The second trailer, released a few weeks ago, looks slightly more conventional, though it'll probably appear a whole lot different when seen on the big screen over the Christmas holiday. I've been burned by great trailers and tremendous ensembles before (this time it's Millie Bobby Brown, Kyle Chandler, and Vera Farmiga), but I have faith that Dougherty will pull this off in epic style.
7. PARASITE- TBA
Image: NEON
"A peculiar tale about two families who are worlds apart but somewhat alike portrays a striking reality of the world we live in."
This is the logline for Parasite, the latest from Korean auteur Bong Joon Ho. After a double-header of international blockbusters (2014's oft-delayed Snowpiercer and the Netflix-backed Okja), Bong returns to South Korea for a mysterious family drama. The title sounds rather sinister- and the first look image is quite ominous as well- so I have to imagine Bong might have something else up his sleeve. But with popular indie tastemaker NEON set to distribute and frequent collaborator Song Kang Ho leading the cast, the director's latest journey will undoubtedly be one of the arthouse events of the year. Hopefully we'll hear more by the time Cannes rolls around.
6. US- March 15
Image: Universal
When I first saw Jordan Peele's Get Out, I was definitely impressed and fascinated, yet I somehow felt like I was missing something; everyone else was in love and I was merely entertained. A half dozen viewings later, I feel I can safely label the comedian-turned-filmmaker's social thriller as one of the best genre movies in recent memory, a thrilling, fiercely imaginative concoction that boldly turns its own tropes upside down. Peele's follow-up, the vaguely titled Us, will be another social thriller, and the early details are enormously compelling. The trailer won't drop until Christmas Day, but the theories are already flying about what appears to be Peele's stab at a monster movie; it's a film that'll supposedly be even more horror-oriented than his first outing. The unnerving poster and the great cast (Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and more) are just the cherry on top- I think Peele might be ready to blow us away all over again.
5. MIDSOMMAR- August 9
Image: A24
Plenty of movies lived up to the hype in 2018, but there was no surprise quite like Ari Aster's Hereditary. After a splashy, much buzzed-about Sundance premiere, A24 unleashed the living nightmare upon audiences in the summer, earning raves from critics and shock (or disappointment) from audiences. We witnessed the birth of a new horror classic- and the birth of a new American auteur. Thankfully for us, Aster is back in 2019 with Midsommar, the story of a woman who goes on a trip to Sweden with her boyfriend; things obviously go terribly, Satanically wrong. Aster has assembled another talented ensemble (Florence Pugh, Jack Reynor, and Will Poulter), which means I'm already dreading the nightmares I'll be having in August. With all due respect to Jordan Peele and Robert Eggers, this is the horror event of the year.
4. STAR WARS: EPISODE IX- December 20
Image: Lucasfilm
How do you follow up the best Star Wars movie since The Empire Strikes Back? That's the task awaiting director J.J. Abrams, who returns to finish the trilogy he started in 2015 with next year's still-untitled Episode IX. When we last saw our heroes, Rey (Daisy Ridley) had closed the door on Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) forever, Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and Finn (John Boyega) led the rebellion to salvation, and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) faded to the wind. I don't know where we go from here- and neither does anyone else not expressly involved with the production- but I can't wait to see how this all wraps up. While Carrie Fisher will only be present in archival footage, new cast members include Richard E. Grant, Keri Russell, Matt Smith, and Dominic Monaghan. The "divisiveness" of The Last Jedi means this release will be hotly contested, but every true Star Wars fan is excited nonetheless.
3. THE IRISHMAN- TBA
This is finally coming out in 2019, right? Okay, good. It feels like we've been waiting ages for Martin Scorsese's The Irishman (per IMDb, he's been in post since February), but it seems Netflix is prepared to go all out for the mob epic in 2019. Even though he already lined up another collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio for his follow-up to this chronicle of Jimmy Hoffa's murder, The Irishman might be the most eagerly anticipated Scorsese film in ages. After all, just look at that cast- Robert De Niro (first movie with Scorsese since Casino), Al Pacino, Joe Pesci (coming out of retirement), Jesse Plemons, Bobby Cannavale, Ray Romano, Harvey Keitel, Jack Huston, Anna Paquin. This is a cinematic event if there ever was one, no matter if it plays in theaters nationwide or just goes right to Netflix. And until we hear more, every cinephile will be waiting with bated breath.
2. AVENGERS: ENDGAME- April 26
Image: Marvel
It all ends here- for real this time. The second part of Marvel's seismic epic for the ages has been eagerly awaited by fans since this April's Avengers: Infinity War suddenly cut to black, which means directors Joe and Anthony Russo have a lot of expectations to meet. Nobody knew what would really go down at the end of the third Avengers flick, but now that the shock of Thanos' epic snap has finally worn off, it's time to pick up the pieces. Like I said in my review of Infinity War, it's hard to evaluate these climatic chapters as actual films and not as pure events; after all, this is the summation of a decade of stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For those of us who have grown up with these characters, Endgame is the true end of an era. While the (temporary) death of characters like Black Panther and Spider-Man hurt, it'll be nothing compared to the possible demise of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) and Steve Rogers (Chris Evans).
In terms of blockbusters, no other film will be able to touch Endgame. This is the movie event of 2019.
1. ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD- July 26
Image courtesy of Sony
But if Avengers: Endgame is the cinematic event to end them all, there's still one film that surpasses it in terms of sheer "I need to see this now" level anticipation. Of course, I'm talking about Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. For some critics and moviegoers, Tarantino's recent output (including his last film, 2015's The Hateful Eight) has reached a level of self-indulgence and pastiche that is simply exhausting. I disagree, and I obviously would be down to see anything he released. But even if you're not a hardcore Tarantino aficionado, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a big deal.
First, the cast- DiCaprio, Pitt, Robbie, Pacino, Timothy Olyphant, Kurt Russell, James Marsden, Dakota Fanning, Tim Roth, many more that I can barely count- is sensational. Perhaps more significant is the buzz surrounding the script, which has drawn comparisons to Pulp Fiction and some of Tarantino's older work. And naturally, who isn't thrilled to see the director painstakingly recreate the Hollywood of yesteryear? I know Tarantino is representative of a particular type of dude-bro cinephilia, but I'm infinitely excited to see what he does with this ambitious epic.
And with that, my Top 25 Most Anticipated list for next year is all wrapped up. Here's to another great year!
