An Updated Version of my previous list with more filmmakers included and brief descriptions of each film:

2018:

Cold War (Pawel Pawlikowski) - Romantic Drama set during the Cold War. Considering it's a Pawlikowski film it'll probably be depressing as hell.

First Man (Damien Chazelle) - Biopic starring Ryan Gosling as first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong. Likely to be an awards favourite.

The Front Runner (Jason Reitman) - Drama/Black Comedy about Gary Hart's scandal-ridden 1988 Presidential Campaign starring Hugh Jackman. Also likely to be in awards contention. Out of the two Reitman films coming out this year (See Tully below), this one definitely seems like the more interesting one.

The House that Jack Built (Lars Von Trier) - Story about a serial killer as told from the killer's point of view, like most Von Trier films will likely get very polarized reactions from critics and viewers, especially considering this one's controversial subject matter.

If Beale Street Could Talk (Barry Jenkins) - Adaptation of a James Baldwin novel about a pregnant Black woman in 1960's Harlem who is working to prove the innocence of her husband, who has been accused of sexual assault. Another likely awards contender.

Image et Parole (Jean-Luc Godard) - It's a new Godard, so who even knows what it's really about? Something about the Middle East, I think?

Isle of Dogs (Wes Anderson) - Stop-motion animation about an Japanese island that's used as a landfill and the dogs that live there. So you know, another quirky Wes Anderson film.

Loro (Paolo Sorrentino) - Biopic about former Italian PM Silvio Berlusconi. Sorrentino's film have usually been more arthouse so it'll be interesting to see how he handles a more mainstream premise.

Radegund (Terence Malick) - True story about an Austrian conscientious objector during WWII. Apparently this will have a more conventional narrative than his last few films, so I'm expecting something closer to The Thin Red Line or The New World than Song to Song or Tree of Life.

Ready Player One (Steven Spielberg) - Probably doesn't need much of an explanation at this point. Based on a popular novel. Big budget CGI-fest about a distant future post-apocayptic world where everyone plays in a massively online video game rooted in 80s and 90s pop culture. Hopefully the movie will actually have some narrative depth to it and won't just be a nostalgia trip for 30-somethings.

Roma (Alfonso Cuaron) - Family Drama centered around a middle-class family in 1970's Mexico City. Cuaron's first Spanish-language film since 2001's Y Tu Mama Tambien. Without seeing anything else, I'd argue this is for now the tentative favourite to win Best Foreign Language Picture next year.

Sunset (Laszlo Nemes) - We don't know much about the plot yet, except that it centers on a young woman in Budapest on the eve of World War I. But considering Nemes had one of the best debuts of the past decade, I'm looking forward to what his second film will hold.

Suspiria (Luca Guadagnino) - Remake of the 1977 atmospheric Italian Horror classic about an American teenager who gets accepted into a prestigious dance academy in Berlin where she gets swept into a surreal nightmare (If you haven't seen the original I would definitely recommend it).

Tully (Jason Reitman) - The second of two Reitman films coming out this year, this is more of his typical work: An Indie comedy written by Diablo Cody and starring Charlize Theron as a mother of three.

Widows (Steve McQueen) - Remake of a 1980s British miniseries about the 4 wives of a group of professional burglars who get together to complete the heist that their husbands died while trying to attempt. All-star ensemble cast including Viola Davis. By far the most commercial work that McQueen has ever done, but I'm excited how he handles the crime thriller genre.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette? (Richard Linklater) - Cate Blanchett plays an agoraphobic woman who is forced into the outside world in order to search for her missing mother.


2019:

Gemini Man (Ang Lee) - Sci-fi thriller about an NSA agent who is being chased by a younger clone of himself. Co-written by David Benioff of Game of Thrones fame.

The Irishman (Martin Scorsese) - Biopic about Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, the powerful union leader who had strong ties to the mafia and organized crime. A Netflix original film, so likely won't get a theatrical release. Stars De Niro as Sheeran and Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa, marking the first(!) time that Pacino and Scorsese have worked together.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino) - Tarantino's long-incubating project about the Manson Family murders in the '60s, starring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio as Sharon Tate's next-door neighbours.

Untitled World War Z Sequel (David Fincher) - Interesting choice of director. Will likely be better than the original.


2020:

Avatar 2 (James Cameron)

Untitled Indiana Jones Sequel (Steven Spielberg)
