These are some upcoming sequels that will be released in the next year:


Man of Steel:

Man of Steel is the upcoming film in the Superman franchise.British actor Henry Caville(Immortals)is playing the title role of Clark Kent,aka Superman.Other cast members include Russell Crowe(Gladiator,American Gangster) as Jor El,Superman's father from Krypton,Kevin Costner(Waterworld) as Johnathan Kent,Superman's adoptive father,Amy Adams(The Fighter) will play Superman's love interest Lois Lane,Michael Shannon(World Trade Center) will play the iconic villain General Zod,who was played by Terrace Stamp in Superman 2.This film will be directed by Zack Snyder(Sucker Punch,Dawn of the Dead),who in my opinion is a good actor,and Christopher Nolan(The Dark Knight Trilogy)is producing,so that gives me faith in this movie being good.



Skyfall:

Skyfall is the 23 film in the James Bond franchise that stars Daniel Craig(The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo)as Ian Fleming's James Bond.Now I know when teenagers think of James Bond they think of him as some silly spy from old movies and his overused quotes "Martini,shaken not stirred",but these Bond films starring Craig are actually pretty good.His first time playing Bond was in 2006 in the film Casino Royale,which I thought was a great movie.The sequel,Quantum of Solace came out in 2008,it was good,but I was kind of let down that it wasn't as good as Casino Royale.I am still impressed with how well those other two films were made,so I am excited to see Skyfall when it's released in November.

 

Gangster Squad:

Ruben Fleischer is directing a film about a police squad led by Josh Brolin to eliminate gangsters that are destroying Los Angeles.On the gangster's side,infamous gangster Mickey Cohen played by Sean Penn is corrupting LA with crime,drugs and murder.Other stars include Robert Patrick and Ryan Gosling as other police officers,and Emma Stone as Cohen's girl who is possibly falling for Gosling's character.This movie was pushed back to 2013 because of a scene in the film where gangsters are hiding behind a movie theatre screen and begin shooting civilians through it as seen in the upper left photo.Because of the tragedy at The Dark Knight Rises screening in Colorado,the film is going through reshooting and the trailer was pulled from screenings.Fleischer also directed the comedies Zombieland and 30 Minutes or less,which were both very funny,so he has a good record so far.I'm curious to see how he does in a serious drama.
