The title above says it all. In view of the approaching end of unforgettable 2018, I decided to compose the list of films for which I'm impatiently waiting in 2019. This is a mix of Japanese, Korean, and Hong Kong productions enumerated in no particular order. So, let's start:
1. School-Live!
High school campus, four students, a virus, and zombies! I'm hoping for a decent survival horror story.
2.Dance with Me
A
girl gets hypnotised and, as a result, she is forced to sign and dance
to every tune she hears. Every new comedy from Shinobu Yaguchi is a
must-see for me.
3. Kingdom
Japanese (Dir. Shinsuke Sato)
A historical movie about the war period in China, made by the Japanese. The trailer looks awesome and it promises lots of action.
4. No Longer Human
Japanese (Dir. Mika Ninagawa)
Shun Oguri plays the main protagonist in this adaptation of one of the best-selling Japanese novels.
5. Welcome Back Tora-san!
Japanese (Dir. Yoji Yamada)
Yoji Yamada keeps on trekking down the memory lane as he refreshes another national treasure of the Japanese movie industry. This time, he makes the 50th(!) instalment of the Tora-san series. However, the main lead, late Kiyoshi Atsumi, will not be re-cast. Click here for more info.
6. The Cyclist King
Korean (Dir. Kim Yoo-seong)
The Cyclist King appears to be a based-on-true-events mixture of historical drama and sports. Basically, Koreans vs. Japanese never-ending clash continues.
7. Hit-and-Run Squad
Korean (Dir. Han Jun-Hee)
Cops chasing criminals during high speed chases. Sounds great and I really hope that the film will be above the level of Fast and Furious entertainment.
8. Jurors
Korean (Dir. Hong Seung-Wan)
I'm always in the mood for a good courtroom drama.
9. Ip Man 4
Hong Kong (Dir. Wilson Yip)
Ip Man 4, the unexpected sequel will tell the story of Wing Chung master kicking some sorry butts in Seattle, Washington.
10. Godzilla: The Planet Eater
Japanese [Anime] (Dir. Kobun Shizuno & Hiroyuki Seshita)
I know this is just an anime and I know that Godzilla: King of the Monsters is due to come out in May, but a part of me is more looking forward to this showdown of the kings rather than the American one.
That's it for now. I wish you all a Happy New Year and if you do have your own anticipated movies, feel free to share them in the comments!
