“How are you?” (“Kimitachi wa do ikiru ka?”), Hayao Miyazaki
At the box office from 14 July
The long-awaited return of the main storyteller of our time, Hayao Miyazaki, indeed seems to be in last place. Your tape Yoshino Genzaburo’s How Do You Do? (It looks like Miyazaki’s movie won’t be a movie adaptation).
Barbie, Greta Gerwig
At the box office from July 21
A Greta Gerwig romantic comedy based on Mattel’s Barbie and Ken dolls. Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. It’s not entirely clear what they’re going to do on screen at the moment: so far, only a promotional trailer has been on the tape quoting the opening scene from Stanley Kubrick’s A Space Odyssey. At the same time, Gerwig’s film managed to leave a cultural mark, but its release is still far away: in the summer of 2022, the release of the first frames (as well as photos of passersby who caught the shot) gave rise to a full-fledged barbicor fashion trend.
“Openheimer” by Christopher Nolan
At the box office from July 21
Robert Oppenheimer’s biopic, American physicist and creator of the atomic bomb, appears to have detonated a real bomb for his shots of Christopher Nolan (because after an entire plane is destroyed on camera, it can be hard to stop; we just hope the director doesn’t embrace the post-apocalyptic genre). Peaky Blinders and 28 Days Later star Cillian Murphy stars alongside Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Florence Pugh, Gary Oldman, Rami Malek, Kenneth Branagh, and Josh Hartnett. The simultaneous release of “Oppenheimer” and “Barbie” has been foretold in the memes: It looks like Cinema Day in 2023 should be shifted to July 21.
Exorcist David Gordon Green
At the box office from October 13
After a dubious experience with a revival of the Halloween horror franchise, director David Gordon Green turned to another acclaimed series and brought a proven approach alongside: The New The Exorcist will be a direct sequel to William Friedkin’s original The Exorcist, and all its other sequels. will ignore it (and, of course, claim to start a new trilogy). In the story, the father of the possessed boy is desperately searching for someone with a similar experience. This person is the protagonist of the first “Exorcist” Chris McNeil (again played by Ellen Burstyn).
“Dune: Part Two” (“Dune: Part Two”), Denis Villeneuve
