Eyes to the Future - 2023 Edition





To go with End of the Year... we also need to look toward 2023.

Remember that everything here will have a tentative release date. All subject to change.

So... let's do it.

M3GAN - Jan 6th: A Killer Robot Doll with the protocol to protect her little girl owner. What not to love?

House Party - Jan 13th: The Original House Party movies were so much fun. Let's see if this one stacks up.

Plane - Jan 13th: Gerard Butler in a plane crash action movie. I'm in.

Missing - Jan 20th: Teenager using the internet to find her missing parents. Looks interesting.

Knock at the Cabin - Feb 3rd: M. Night Shyamalan adapting one of the best horror novels of the last 10 years. Dave Batista, Rupert Grint, Jonathan Groff.

Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey - Feb 15th: Do I need to explain?

Ant-Man & The Wasp in Quantumania - Feb 17th: We finally, fully get introduced to the new big bad, Kang the Conqueror. And of course Paul Rudd is still here.

Cocaine Bear - Feb 24th: Based on a TRUE story about a bear that became the single greatest predator in animal kingdom history.

Scream 6 - Mar 10th: The sequel of this new age run of Scream movies. Making Wes Craven proud.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods - Mar 17th: I loved the first Shazam movie. Like Big in spandex. And this one looks to be pretty good.

John Wick Chapter 4 - Mar 24th: 4th Chapter in Keanu Reeves action movie second wind. And the best damn action series in DECADES. I'm in.

Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves - Mar 31st: The last attempt at a D&D movie was TERRIBLE. But this looks like medieval Guardians of the Galaxy. So it gives me hope.

The Super Mario Bros Movie - Apr 7th: DON'T LET ME DOWN ILLUMINATION! DON'T LET ME DOWN ILLUMINATION! DON'T LET ME DOWN ILLUMINATION!!!

Renfield - Apr 14th: Movie about Dracula's closest henchman. And Nic Cage is playing Dracula. What else you need to know?

Evil Dead Rise - Apr 21st: It is not an Evil Dead with Bruce Campbell, sadly. But I did like the uber-horror remake. I don't think this is a sequel of that. But I'm giving it a chance anyway.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 - May 5th: The last go round for this team. The last MCU film for new DC Film co-head James Gunn. And the debut of Will Poulter's Adam Warlock. It'll be awesome.

The Little Mermaid - Mar 26th: All of the Live Action remakes of Disney classics have at least been good. There is NO reason this one can't be too.

Spider-Man Across The Spider-Verse(Part 1?) - Jun 2nd: Into the Spider-Verse was a master class in animation. And this one will be focused around my favorite non-Peter Parker Spidey... Miguel O'Hara aka Spider-Man 2099.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts - Jun 9th: I loved the Beast Wars cartoon... and Michael Bay is nowhere near the director's chair. This MIGHT have potential.

The Flash - Jun 16th: Who knows if this is really going to release. But if it does, I will be there.

Oppenheimer - Jul 21st: Christopher Nolan biopic on the man who invented the Atomic Bomb. Nolan + Biopic + Cillian Murphy = Epic Idea.

The Marvels - Jul 28th: I liked Captain Marvel. I liked Ms. Marvel. And this is a chance for them to share the screen.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Mutant Mayhem - Aug 4th: CG Animated TMNT film from Seth Rogen. No Michael Bay. So hopefully it gives new breath to the big screen Turtles.

Gran Turismo - Aug 8th: Yes... a video game movie. But we have had some good ones come out. This has a chance to be great. But it also has a chance to be terrible. We will see.

Blue Beetle - Aug 18th: It's the Space Bug movie!!! No... DC's young superhero is getting a chance to shine!

Equalizer 3 - Sept 1st: Denzel Washington's John Wick series. Renaissance to his action career. And we are finally getting a third.

Expendables 4 - Sept 22nd: Speaking of Action... the 4th installment of the mindless action series. But... not everyone is coming back to this one. A new crop is being introduced with some of the old school ass kickers.

Kraven the Hunter - Oct 6th: Here is a chance for Sony to let me down again with they Spider-Verse sub universe. BUT Aaron Taylor-Johnson is an EXTREMELY underrated actor. I at least want to see his performance.

Dune Part 2 - Nov 3rd: I was looking forward to an amazing version of the Dune story, and Part 1 was phenomenal to me. Part 2 is the meat of the story, and because of that, this is most anticipated movie of the year.

Wish - Nov 22nd: Took Disney forever to make a movie about there most iconic song, When You Wish Upon A Star. And it is Pixar. So you know it'll be epic.

Wonka - Dec 15th: An origin story for Willy Wonka, starring Timothy Chalamet. I'm still skeptical. But... it is Willy Wonka. It is Chalamet. So I shouldn't be...?

Ghostbusters Firehouse(official title?) - Dec 20th: I saw this listed for this date, but I don't think it is true. Either way... a sequel to the greatest Legacyquel of all time? I'm already there.

Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom - Dec 25th: Seems like most of the DC stuff is muddled. But we are finally getting the sequel to Aquaman. I thought the first one was epic. Hope this one is too.

Salem's Lot - TBA: This remake is supposed to come out in 2023, and I'm excited... sorta. The Pet Semetary remake was horrible. But Gary Dauberman is writing and directing this remake. And his writing credits have been HUGE in the horror genre, writing for the Annabelle series, The Nun, and BOTH Chapters of the IT Remake(and you KNOW I loved those). And he did say was focusing on making Vampires terrifying again. Please do.

And... that is my list for 2023. Are there any that you thought I should add?

Comment and share this thing.

Until next time...

Don't forget...
