4 movies to watch out for in 2021

Judas and the Black Messiah

A based-on-true-events drama, co-written and directed by Shaka King. The film tells the story of an FBI informant, William O'Neal who infiltrated the Illinois Black Panther Party in an effort to keep track of Fred Hampton. Set to open on February 12, the film will be simultaneously released on HBO Max.

No Time To Die

The 25th James Bond film, directed by Cary Fukunaga of "True Detective" fame, comes in with a star-studded casting, with Daniel Craig returning for his fifth and (presumably) final turn as 007. He's joined by series regulars Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Rory Kinnear, and Ben Whishaw, as well as returning characters played by Lea Seydoux and Jeffrey Wright, with Rami Malek reportedly playing the villain. The hype is definitely up for this one, set to be released in April.

The Beatles: Get Back

Peter Jackson of the "They Shall Not Grow Old" fame works with never-before-seen footage behind the scenes to chronicle the Beatles as they record their 1970 album Let It Be, as well as their legendary performance on the rooftop of Apple Records in London. The documentary is set to release in August.

Dune

Denis Villeneuve takes on the massive challenge of re-adapting Frank Herbert's sprawling sci-fi epic more than 30 years after David Lynch's first attempt. The impressive cast including Timothée Chalamet, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Javier Bardem, Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista and Zendaya surely gets the hype up for this, which is set to open on October 1 with a simultaneous release on HBO Max.
