Ant-Man Quantumania, Asterix, The Fabelmans… The film will be released in February 2023

Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Kingdom

We hear about it everywhere, and for good reason: Asterix and Obelix The Middle Kingdom is simply one of the most expensive French films ever made. Made in France on a budget of over $60 million, this blockbuster loves to assemble an absolutely stellar cast: Guillaume Canet (also director), Gilles Lellouche, Vincent Cassel, Angèle, Marion Cotillard, Joanathan Cohen, José Garcia, Manu Payet, Bun Hay Mean, Pierre Richar, Jérôme Commander, Vincent Desagnat, Biglo et Oli, Orelsan, CartoF… and even Zlatan Ibrahimovic. I wonder if this is his main argument. For the rest, therefore, it is not surprising that we are on a large comedy and good natured for the general public. I’m not sure if it will be better than the mythical Asterix and Obelix Mission Cleopatra, but you never know.

Knock in the cabin

While the filmography remains imperfect, we can’t help but want to offer original scenes from M.Night Shyamalan. The Sixth Sense, Detached, Unbreakable, Old, Phenomenon, Sign or even Village: his touch is alive and the director Knock at the Cabin will not be an exception to the rule with his new feature film. The story is about a family who come to spend a peaceful weekend in an isolated cabin in the middle of the woods. Only then, four foreigners, led by a certain Dave Bautista, bind them there with an imperative: choose to sacrifice family or the rest of humanity. A psychological thriller based on the principle of dilemma that clearly promises to be effective.

The worst neighbor in the world

Tom Hanks is an ultra-respectable actor who would rather be a friend in everyday life. Except: he plays a damn grumpy and generally obnoxious old man. There is a reason for this: he has no wife, and as the years go by, life seems to him more and more monotonous, pushing him to loneliness and inciting the whole neighborhood. At least, that was before a family moved in and added flavor to the community. So yes, it’s a pretty simple pitch, and Là-Haut has already used it well, but we love Tom Hanks so much that we had to mention his next movie. This emotion-driven comedy is directed by Marc Forster, who notably wrote quite muscular feature films such as World War Z, Machine Gun and even Quantum of Solace. Something to arouse interest.

Tower

When Duman met La Haine with a great touch from Gaspar Noe. La Tour is a French action film (we might even say psychological horror) that sets its context in the heart of the city, in a huge HLM. Only here, one fine day, a thick, black mist envelops the building, cutting off communications and driving its inhabitants into confinement and confusion. It is in this hilarious mess that the citizens will have to survive while trying to figure out why and how: the tone is stark, claustrophobic, and in general, everything is done to make the viewer uncomfortable. Because outside of prison, it’s human nature to appeal to different groups of people who are willing to do anything to get out of it, even if it means stepping on others. An intense experience by Guillaume Nicloux, Les Confins du monde, The End and The Valley of Love, which we owe to Thalasso.

• Cinematic release: February 8, 2023
• Director : Guillaume Nicloux
• with: Angele Mac, Hatik, Ahmed Abdel Laoui

titanic

Yes, Titanic is not new: honestly, celebrates his twenty-fifth birthday. And that’s why James Cameron’s masterpiece will be shown in cinemas this month in a new and remastered version: 3D and 4K HDR are on the program for this long historical film, which nevertheless won eleven Oscars a quarter of a century ago. An opportunity for the iconic director to boost the box office scores of his blockbuster (the third highest-grossing film in history), his Avatar “Waterway” is already showing in dark rooms everywhere. If you have never seen Titanic or have seen it a while ago, go and admire this impressive feature film and if possible in a cinema equipped with modern technologies such as Dolby Cinema or Dolby Audio. It was, is and will be a very beautiful film.

The Wolf Hunt Project

There’s no denying that South Korea knows how to do it when it comes to movies… and across multiple genres. Here, we are talking about an action movie with crazy pace and intense violence. A huge cargo ship carrying dangerous criminals to Busan. Obviously, nothing goes as planned, and one of the most dangerous men manages to escape, wreaking chaos and terror on a boat that turns into a giant manhunt. Apart from showing a unique art direction, the film promises to be brutal with visceral fights with both guns and knives, with rust colors and a suffocating atmosphere. We say yes, especially since the director is none other than Hong-sung Kim, the writer behind the 2017 thriller The Chase and the 2019 horror Metamorphosis. A man who loves fights, hemoglobin and beautiful choreography: we are sure he will speak to some of you.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

Marvel is about to kick off its Phase 5 with a bang. Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania is the most ambitious superhero movie ever, and for good reason: it will delve even deeper into the MCU’s growing cosmic delirium and the multiverse in particular… Kang the Conqueror as the main antagonistic figure. The latter should replace Thanos for this new Marvel arc, usually introduced in the Loki series: in short, he is serious, hypnotic and promises real problems for the future of the expanded universe. It is clear that we are in a big Disney blockbuster, with its dose of action and special effects dominating, and we expect nothing more than the main movie. However, few Marvel movies have managed to surprise with ideas, easter eggs, or pacing, so hopefully this Ant-Man falls into that category.

• Cinematic release: February 15, 2023
• Director : Peyton Reed
• with: Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Douglas

Marlowe

Film noir is certainly not dead, and Marlowe is here to remind us. It should be noted that Philip Marlowe is the character of the successful detective novels that first appeared in 1939: in this adaptation tested for the big screen by Neil Jordan, the great Liam Neeson will present his features (The Crying Games, Interview with the Vampire). Set in Bay City, California in the late 1930s, our private detective is tasked with investigating the disappearance of Nico Peterson, the lover of the mysterious Claire Cavendish (Diane Kruger). His jazz-tinged journey will take him especially to Club Cobata, a symbol of the city’s influential people, and to the corners of the Hollywood industry: there’s jazz, action and more jazz… and great actors., as Jessica Lange (especially American Horror Story). We’re hoping to have a really nice surprise, or at worst, an impressive period movie.

• Director : Neil Jordan

Fablemen

A film about passion for cinema, from one of cinema’s greatest directors, and a film that will probably be seen in cinemas. Fabelmans is actually a new feature film from a certain Steven Spielberg and appears to be an autobiographical story inspired by the director’s youth. : then we follow the journey of Sammy Fabelman, a young man who falls in love with the Seventh Art and wants to make it his profession at any cost. As you can imagine, his journey will be full of pitfalls: from the trials of life to the trials of the industry, as he navigates a hard-to-bear family secret, the Fabelmans are a true love letter to storytelling and how to put it on film. . It should also be noted that it was presented at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022, where it won the Audience Award, as well as two awards at the Golden Globes. A priori, therefore, Spielberg still made a great film and there are several well-known actors to carry it: Paul Dano, Michelle Williams or Gabriel LaBelle.

• Cinematic release: February 22, 2023
• Director : Steven Spielberg
• with: Gabriel LaBelle, Michelle Williams, Paul Dano

apache

Apaches takes us to the capital in 1900, where gangs share several neighborhoods from Belleville to Montmartre. A disreputable place dominated by the Apaches, a tribe of brazen criminals who will welcome a rebellious young woman determined to avenge her brother’s death: the killer is actually part of the Apaches, and it will be up to Ariadne to infiltrate the heroine. Touch this feature film directed by Romain Quirot (The last journey). The trailer speaks for itself and promises a big-budget job with a very nice historical reconstruction and, above all, a variety of effects: there are obvious inspirations from Peaky Blinders and Gangs of New York, that is, noble references for our French Seventh Art. To see what the result will be on the big screen, but in any case, we can only encourage such a project with the atmosphere of the period, so we cross our fingers that it manages to really stand out without being crudely pasted.
