This fall will be a season of movie riches—and perhaps a turning point
EVERYONE HAS THE TEA leaves; no one has the actual tea. Will the movies come back this autumn? Will they ever come back at all?
The answer is … that no one has the answer. What we do know is that the fall 2021 movie calendar is unlike anything we’ve seen in years: more varied, more exciting, more studded with actors we really want to see. Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya jet into the future for Denis Villeneuve’s version of Frank Herbert’s supposedly unfilmable sci-fi epic Adam Driver and Lady Gaga swan through Ridley Scott’s juicy-looking (just one of three movies Driver stars in this fall, two of them directed by Scott); Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao tries her hand at the superhero genre with starring Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie. And don’t forget the long-delayed Bond thriller as well as the wild Cannes Palme d’Or winner which redefines the notion of what makes a car sexy.
