Here, in all its uncertain glory, is a list of 38 movies we’re anticipating this fall
A preview of this fall’s movies, in all its uncertain glory. Photo-Illustration: Vulture/Twentieth Century Fox/Universal Pictures/Warner Bros./Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Neon Movies are back. Right? After several months absent the usual spectacle that summer blockbuster season brings, it appears as though cinema is slowly, if not prematurely, making its less-than-grand, post-lockdown return. COVID-19 is far from eradicated in the U.S.
Mulan It’s been delayed for so long, and so many times, this live-action remake of the Disney animated classic sometimes feels like it already opened. But it’s finally happening! Mulan will be by far the biggest film of the year to go straight to digital.
Kajillionaire After a lengthy feature-filmmaking hiatus, Miranda July has returned with what might be her most powerful movie yet — combining her fondness for gentle absurdism with a dead-end atmosphere that feels both of the moment and, curiously, timeless. In theaters September 25. Dick Johnson Is Dead Cinematographer Kirsten Johnson made her directorial debut with 2016’s Cameraperson, a memoir in the form of a meditation on what it means to be the person behind the camera. Her new documentary is even more personal, because it’s about her relationship with her father, Dick Johnson, who moves into her New York apartment after he’s diagnosed with dementia.
The War with Grandpa A young boy attempts to prank-battle his grandfather, who is played by Robert De Niro. To be fair, this could go one of two ways: True, we might get the paycheck-cashing, phoning-it-in De Niro of Meet the Fockers and whatever the hell that other sequel to Meet the Parents was called. But it’s also possible that we’ll get the raucous, raunchy, deliriously unhinged De Niro of Dirty Grandpa. To be clear, this would be a good thing. To be extra-clear, we are being serious.
Martin Eden Luca Marinelli, who played one half of the swoony immortal couple in The Old Guard, plays the title character in Pietro Marcello’s lush period drama, which transports Jack London’s 1909 novel to Naples. Martin, a sailor who falls for an aristocratic beauty and dreams of winning her by becoming a writer, finds that upper crust acceptance is not what he hoped for when he becomes a successful author who rails against socialism and is more miserable than ever.
Ammonite Director Francis Lee proved himself a master of the queer pastoral with 2017’s God’s Own Country. In Ammonite, he tackles the 19th-century romance between a paleontologist played by Kate Winslet and a married geologist played by Saoirse Ronan. Forbidden love, class, fossils, rock formations, the desolate English coastline, moody skies — this one’s got everything, and we will be extremely upset if it doesn’t deliver. In theaters November 13.
Soul Pixar’s suburban fantasy Onward had its release cut short by the pandemic in March. But Soul, which was always slated for fall, was clearly the 2020 title the company was going to put most of its energy behind anyway.
West Side Story Steven Spielberg has never actually made a musical, but it’s always been clear that he really wants to make a musical. So, at long last, he’s made a musical. And not just any musical. This Broadway warhorse, now sporting a screenplay by Tony Kushner and choreography by Justin Peck of the New York City Ballet, has all the great Spielbergian themes — family, belonging, ambition — as well as the potential for political relevance.
