Advertising If you needed someone to direct the movie version of 2020, you’d probably go for David Cronenberg. We’re optimistic that 2021 will have more of an upbeat, Ron Howard-ish hue to it when it comes to cinemas and the movies that will hopefully fill them. Howard doesn’t have a film out next year, but there are exciting new offerings from Steven Spielberg, Edgar Wright and (joy!) two from Chloé Zhao and Ridley Scott. Who knows? We may even see a James Bond movie. There’s a lot to look forward to – including plenty of buzzy Netflix movies that’ll be released on the big screen first – but our preview focuses on the movies with confirmed release dates. Of course, there’s a ton of exciting, so-far-undated movies postponed from quarantine-hit 2020 to keep an eye out for too. Get ready to go big again.
