Here's a month-by-month breakdown of the movies we can't wait to see in 2020
From Beanpole to A Quiet Place 2 to Bad Boys to Weathering With You, these are the films we’re most excited to see this year. Photo: Vulture and Courtesy of the Studios The future is uncertain — with movies, as with all things. As we turn our gazes toward the films we’re most anticipating in 2020, we’re forced to confront some major question marks.
Run Aneesh Chaganty’s 2018 film Searching was a thriller about a missing girl that was told entirely via shots of computer desktops. His follow-up takes a more traditional approach to filming while focusing on a darker parent-child relationship — one between a teenager girl and the mother who’s been raising her in complete isolation and harboring a dark secret.
February The Last Thing He Wanted Dee Rees directs Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck, and Willem Dafoe in a Netflix adaptation of a Joan Didion novel about a journalist entangled in an arms-running scheme in Central America in the 1980s. Those are just way too many Things We Like all rolled into one movie. This is either going to be major or it is going to be a disaster.
The Whistlers Romanian director Corneliu Porumboiu’s delightful crime comedy-drama starts off as a bizarro tale about a policeman who has to learn a special “whistling” language in order to help free a gangster from prison, but then twists and turns itself into a moving meditation on love, loyalty, and self-improvement.
Spenser Confidential Director Peter Berg’s collaborations with Mark Wahlberg have been somewhat uneven: Deepwater Horizon was great, Patriots Day was not, while Lone Survivor was just … well, let’s not start that old debate up again. But the director-star duo are kind of ideal for a revival of author Robert B. Parker’s iconic tough-guy detective Spenser, whom an entire generation probably remembers from the 1980s TV series starring Robert Urich.
A Quiet Place Part II Nobody was more surprised than we were when John Krasinski’s ingeniously contrived dystopian 2018 thriller turned out to be a bona fide smash. Can lightning strike again? Krasinski’s character didn’t make it out of the first one, but Emily Blunt is back, as are the sublime young actors Millicent Simmonds and Noah Jupe.
Antlers Scott Cooper directed Hostiles, Black Mass, Crazy Heart, and Out of the Furnace — all of which sound like they should be horror movies, even though none of them are. Now, he finally drops the prestige pictures and tackles a straight genre chiller, with Guillermo del Toro in the producer’s seat. This one features small-town teacher Keri Russell and her sheriff brother Jesse Plemons trying to … never mind, we’ve bought our tickets already.
Black Widow A Black Widow solo movie has been so long in coming that it arrives after the character was killed off in Avengers: Endgame. That’s unlikely to get in the way of the Marvel machine, which has jumped back in time to tell a story about the former KGB assassin, played by Scarlett Johansson.
Wonder Woman 1984 Patti Jenkins’s 2017 smash Wonder Woman was the first sign that the DC cinematic universe might be righting its ship. Now, we’re all wondering if she and star Gal Gadot can deliver a winning follow-up to that surprisingly moving, WWI-set origin tale. Bringing Diana into the 1980s is either a wonderfully inspired choice, or a recipe for endless kitsch. Or maybe both.
In the Heights A movie version of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s beloved, Tony-winning musical has been in the works for over a decade, bouncing from Universal to the Weinstein Company before ending up at Warner Bros. It ended up under the direction of Jon M. Chu, who, unlike [coughs, hairball] certain other filmmakers who’ve recently overseen Broadway adaptations, actually knows how to shoot a musical number. Here’s hoping it was worth the wait.
Let Him Go Kevin Costner and Diane Lane try to save their grandson from the clutches of another family. If this means that the dadsploitation genre is finally turning into the momanddadsploitation genre, great. The Many Saints of Newark After bringing The Sopranos to one of the great fuck-you endings of all time, David Chase winds the clock back on the New Jersey clan to tell the story of Dickie Moltisanti , Johnny Boy Soprano , and Livia , with James Gandolfini’s teenage son, Michael, playing the young Tony.
Deep Water Adrian Lyne, cinema’s foremost chronicler of sexy infidelity and its inevitably horrifying consequences, has been off the radar since 2002’s Unfaithful, but his interests don’t seem to have shifted in the intervening years.
West Side Story Steven Spielberg’s filmography has enough great musical scenes that many of us have been wondering what an actual Spielberg musical might look like. Well, we’re about to find out. Bergman Island Mia Hansen-Løve is one of the great directors working today, though her last feature, the still-undistributed-in-the-U.S. Maya, was a more minor effort. Her next one sounds like anything but — Bergman Island stars Mia Wasikowska and Anders Danielsen Lie as filmmakers and romantic partners who travel to remote Fårö island, where Ingmar Bergman lived, to write their respective next screenplays.
Kajillionaire It’s been nine years — far too long — since Miranda July’s last film, the supremely melancholic The Future. Her new one is, wonder of wonders, a heist flick slated for Sundance, one that stars Evan Rachel Wood, Richard Jenkins, and Debra Winger as a family of grifters whose lives are shaken up when they recruit an outsider into their latest scheme.
