The video below, taken from the streamer’s Next on Netflix trailer, gives you an idea of the sheer range of things the top streaming service will be showing in 2024. But if you’d rather find out what we’re most excited about here: Read on for our picks of the films you need to see this year.
Lady
Elodie (Game of Thrones’ Millie Bobby Brown) is not just any princess, and Lady is clearly not your average princess film. While there are swords, magic and a truly enormous dragon, this is more subversive than your average fantasy – and it starts not with a dashing prince saving the princess from a monster, but by trying to sacrifice her to it. According to filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadilloin the core Lady is “a beautiful story about a young woman who becomes a strong, independent and empowered adult.” The film is scheduled for release on March 8, 2024.
Touch man
Based on a very strange true story, that of Richard Linklater Touch man is already receiving rave reviews for its mix of dark humor and action. It is the story of a hitman (Glen Powell) who is not what he seems. The film is about what happens when he falls in love with one of his clients – a client who does not know the truth about his real identity – while he is undercover working for the police. Some reviews are already saying this is a Linklater best film, which is high praise indeed.
Back in action
The action comedy stars Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Kyle Chandler and Glenn Close, with Diaz retiring for the first time since 2014. Even by the usual standards of unreleased film details, this one is very poor. but it sounds like Diaz’s return to real life will mirror the script. Back in action is about a woman who has been retired for six years and returns smarter and stronger than ever. Where to return from? Retired from what? Nobody says it now. But the sheer star power of the cast announced so far means we’re eager to find out.
Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver
“It’s about to start,” says Zach Snyder about the second part of his science fiction epic. Rebel moon part 2, arriving in April, promises to continue the story of Kora and the surviving warriors as they fight alongside the brave people of Veldt against the full power of The Realm. Expect a David and Goliath story, a story about brave people battling almost unimaginable odds, and another director’s cut with a higher age rating. With the world built and the background established in the first Rebel Moonthe second film should take a lot less time to actually get going.
The Union
Expected in August, The Union Mark Wahlberg plays a down-to-earth construction worker from Jersey who finds himself in a very different world when his ex-girlfriend, Halle Berry, recruits him for a high-stakes American intelligence mission. Director Julian Farino previously brought us the beautiful Giri/Haji, also on Netflix, and has been working on it Ballers And Entourage at. The story is by David Guggenheim, who wrote the script Safe house and created Designated survivor at.
