15. The Intruder (3 May, 2019)

There’s always something creepy about moving into a new house, isn’t it? You don’t know anything about the place, the neighborhood or the people who have lived there before you. You just judge the place from what it looks like from the outside and that itself is enough to please you to live there but that could be a grave mistake. Scott and Annie Russell end up in a similar situation when they buy a house which is too good to be true from a mysterious widower from Napa Valley. But the widower Charlie seems to be strangely obsessed with the house and keeps showing up again and again, intruding into their personal lives. His behavior gets worse by the day which eventually turns violent and starts to threaten the lives of Russells.

14. Pokemon Detective Pikachu (10 May, 2019)

I still remember the first time Pokemon came out on television. Those were the golden days when we would all obsess over these fictitious creatures that do not even exist spending all our pocket money on buying pokemon cards. It’s about time we get to relive those days with the new Pokemon movie that’s coming out very soon. I wasn’t too sure when I first heard about this one but one look at the trailer and the yellow ball of fur-Pikachu was enough to convince me that this one is going to be great. What’s more interesting about this is that the voice behind our cute little Pikachu is none other than the Deadpool star, Ryan Reynolds. The storyline follows the adventure of a young man and detective Pikachu who try to decode the strange disappearance of the boy’s father which later lands them between a conspiracy that poses a threat to the whole Pokemon universe.

13. Tolkien (10 May, 2019)

The Lord of the Rings‘ by JRR Tolkien came out in the 50s, but the impact of these books can still be felt in the fantasy genre. The movie adaptations of these were again remarkable and those who haven’t had a chance to see them yet, book your next weekend for a Lord of the Rings marathon. But have you ever wondered what went inside the mind of the writer when he came up with such an incredible piece of art? What actually led him to write about a whole new world of epic fantasy? ‘Tolkien’ will probably have the answers to all these questions and this biopic will indeed be “My Precious!”

12. The Hustle (10 May, 2019)

‘The Hustle’ is an upcoming hilarious new comedy film, starring Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson, who do make quite a promising duo in the trailer.

The trailer for this one is absolutely hilarious and hopefully, the movie too will have a lot more to offer.

6. Aladdin (24 May, 2019)

A Disney movie with Will Smith in it? I’m sold! For those who have seen the original animated classic movie of 1992, this one will be more of a throwback live-action film for them and for those who haven’t, your life is going to change because you’ll be introduced to the magical adventures of Aladdin, Jasmine and Genie.

5. Ad Astra (24 May, 2019)

‘Ad Astra’ is a Latin phrase that means “To the stars with difficulties.” That’s probably what the movie is about. A space journey of some kind maybe? Well yes.

He does this to look for his missing father but upon reaching these extremes of the space, he discovers revelations about our planet that threaten its overall existence. What’s really strange about this one is that even the trailer hasn’t come out yet, so it’s very hard to predict what exactly the movie will be about. But since its starring Brad Pitt, we’re assuming that this one is going to be great.

4. Brightburn (24 May, 2019)

The trailer for this one has been trending on Youtube for while now probably because of its similarities with a well-known superhero film. The trailer shows the story of a child who crash lands on earth from a different planet. He is then adopted by two humans who later find out that the kid has some very unusual powers like superhuman strength, the ability to fly really fast and can also shoot lasers out of his eyes. No, this is not a Superman movie if that’s what you’re thinking but it has some striking similarities. The only difference here is that this kid becomes no hero and turns out to be super evil. It’s quite an interesting concept to think about: what if Superman in an alternate reality, was evil? Even the sound of it gives us the chills. The movie might be getting a lot of negative publicity because of its similarities with the DC superhero but it has still got us curious about what it would be like to have a darker and horror version of our very own Superman. Gotta watch out for this one!

3. The Tomorrow Man (24 May, 2019)

‘The Tomorrow Man’ is the story of two individuals who suffer from OCD are preparing themselves for things that may never happen in the future.
