There was a lot of buzz at CinemaCon 2024 about upcoming movies, especially those from Warner Bros. Here are some highlights:
1. DC League of Super-Pets – A funny animated movie about superhero pets coming in May.
2. The Batman – The Christopher Nolan documentary, Man of Steel, was screened and brought tears to everyone’s eyes.
3. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice – A teaser for the upcoming Beetlejuice movie was shown, followed by a behind-the-scenes featurette that showcased the sets and practical effects. The movie looks awesome!
4. The Fall Guy – The new Ryan Gosling/Emily Blunt movie is an action comedy set in the world of movies. It’s not technically a sci-fi movie, but since it’s set in the world of movies, and the movie they are making in the movie is sci-fi, I’m mentioning it here.
5. Twisters – One of the most anticipated films of the year, new footage screened at CinemaCon only increased that anticipation. The story is about scientists trying to stop tornadoes as they happen.
6. Paramount Pictures – Paramount announced over a dozen brand-new titles, including a sequel to Inside Out, Gladiator II, and more.
7. Marvel Movie – Director Shawn Levy and producer Kevin Feige revealed nine very R-rated minutes of the year’s only Marvel movie, which didn’t disappoint. It looks incredible!
8. Mickey 17 – Bong Joon-ho’s new sci-fi movie starring Robert Pattinson looks amazing. It’s funny, weird, and exciting.
9. Inside Out 2 – Disney and Pixar showed over 30 minutes of footage from the sequel to Inside Out, which easily could be as good as the original. The opening establishes the world in Riley’s now 13-year-old mind and introduces new characters/emotions.
