Movie releases for 2013 will have superheroes, some will have spaceships, and one will have Bilbo Baggins.
One much-anticipated movie to be released in 2013 is Superman: Man of Steel. This reboot is being directed by Christopher Nolan, with Immortals star Henry Cavill as Superman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. It is expected to have amazing visuals and action, and will be the first Superman movie to be based on the comics, not Richard Donner’s vision.
Another movie that is getting a lot of hype is Iron Man 3. To be released on May 3, 2013, this sequel is about Tony Stark dealing with a virus that spreads through nanotechnology, with borrowed elements from the ‘Extremis’ graphic novel. Rebecca Hall plays a scientist who develops the nanotechnology that accidentally lands in the hands of terrorists. Guy Pearce has the role of Aldich Killan, the geneticist who creates the virus.
J.R.R. Tolkien fans will most anticipate the release of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, out on December 13, 2013. After crossing the Misty Mountains, Thorin and company must seek aid before entering Mirkwood Forest. If they reach Lake-town, Bilbo must fulfill his contract with the dwarves. This will be the second of three Hobbit movies.
On May 17, 2013, Star Trek Into Darkness will be released with the same cast and director as in the 2009 surprise. Little is known about this movie, except that the location will feature a “jungle planet” and that Benedict Cumberbatch and Peter Weller will play villains in the movie. Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, Gravity will be one of the most technologically advanced movies of 2013. While on a mission to repair the Hubble telescope, satellite debris collides with the space station, killing all but two astronauts. These astronauts must then fight for survival and try to find a way home. This movie stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.
Will Ferrell stars in Anchorman: The Legend Continues as San Diego’s top newsman, Ron Burgundy, which will be released on December 20th. He’s bringing along the entire news team with him, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, and David Koechner. After the massive success of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy in 2004, this movie should be expected to bring in huge audiences.
Now that we have gotten through 2012, we can sit back and enjoy the new movies of 2013.
