You're probably already well aware of the next big superhero flicks — but there's
no shortage of exciting smaller movies in the works as well.
Here's a look at some intriguing upcoming films you'll definitely want to check out.
Holmes and Watson
Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, who played best buddies in the comedy hits Talladega
Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Step Brothers, are set to team up again for Holmes
and Watson, featuring Ferrell as the famous detective and Reilly as his partner.
Sherlock may be one of the most popular detectives in pop culture, but Ferrell's take promises
to be different — and much more comedic.
The duo also has some impressive backup, including Hugh Laurie, Lauren Lapkus, and Rebecca Hall.
Nomis
Henry Cavill stars in the upcoming thriller Nomis, about an American police force who
manages to entrap an online predator, only to learn that his crimes go far beyond anything
they initially expected.
Director David Raymond says he thinks people will be "blown away" by Cavill's performance.
Although details are still being kept tightly under wraps, with a cast that includes stars
like Sir Ben Kingsley, Alexandra Daddario, and Stanley Tucci, it's hard not to anticipate
a thrilling adventure.
First Man
Ryan Gosling earned an Oscar nomination for his work with director Damien Chazelle on
La La Land, so it makes sense that the pair would reunite.
This time, they're working together on the Neil Armstrong bio-pic First Man, with Gosling
as Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the moon.
The script, from Spotlight Oscar winner Josh Singer and Guardians of the Galaxy's Nicole
Perlman, is based on the book First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong by James Hansen.
The supporting cast includes Claire Foy, Corey Stoll, and Kyle Chandler, and something tells
us this is going to be another awards season darling.
Underwater
Have you ever wondered what Armageddon would have been like if it happened under the sea?
Those prayers are being answered with the Kristen Stewart-led thriller Underwater, which
features the former Twilight star as a member of an underwater scientific crew struggling
to survive after an earthquake.
T.J. Miller, Vincent Cassel, and John Gallagher Jr. also help fill out the cast for the film.
With The Signal's Will Eubank on board to write and direct, it seems like Underwater
could offer a new take on a crowded genre.
Ferrari
Hugh Jackman will undergo an extreme physical transformation for his role in Ferrari, a
bio-pic about Enzo Ferrari, the creator of the Italian sports car.
The movie takes place in 1957 and follows Ferarri's battle for supremacy against his
rival Maserati.
The film also focuses on the complicated relationship between Ferrari and his estranged wife, played
by Noomi Rapace.
Spearheading the film is director and producer Michael Mann, a four-time Oscar nominee for
The Insider and The Aviator.
Doctor Dolittle
Robert Downey Jr. has signed on to lead a remake of Doctor Dolittle, playing the animal
physician previously played by Rex Harrison and Eddie Murphy.
The movie comes from a script by Syriana's Stephen Gaghan, who's also set to direct.
Plot details are unknown, but, with Gaghan and Downey's involvement, the movie could
feature a much more action-heavy take on the material.
We're also crossing our fingers that the film will feature music like the 1967 Academy Award-winning
version, giving Downey a chance to once again show off his singing chops.
The Women of Marwen
Steve Carell may have gotten his start in comedy, but he's proved over the years to
have an affinity for drama, earning an Oscar nomination in 2014 for Foxcatcher.
He could be in the awards conversation again for his next film, The Women of Marwen.
Robert Zemeckis is directing the drama, which is being marketed as:
"One broken man's fight as he discovers how artistic imagination can restore the human
spirit."
Carell has a stellar supporting cast backing him up, including Diane Kruger, Janelle Monae,
and Leslie Mann.
Bad Times at El Royale
Cabin in the Woods director and co-writer Drew Goddard is set to write and direct the
mysterious Bad Times at El Royale, a highly secretive drama starring Chris Hemsworth and
Jeff Bridges.
It follows a cast of characters at a run-down hotel near California's Lake Tahoe, whose
shady agendas collide in a violent way.
Goddard is an Academy Award nominee for writing The Martian, as well as an Emmy nominee for
his work as a producer on Lost.
Bringing him together with actors like Bridges and Hemsworth is a surefire recipe for success.
Little Monsters
Lupita Nyong'o and Josh Gad are teaming up to fight zombies for the comedy Little Monsters.
The film comes from writer-director Abe Forsythe, best known for the comedy Down Under.
A group of adult characters will have to put aside their differences and come together
to protect children when they're surprised by a zombie outbreak.
Sounds like a post-apocalyptic comedy with, well, brains.
BRRAAAAINS!
