Here is a quick list of the films I plan to see in August:
The Bourne Legacy/Total Recall
Two action remakes/reboots coming to theaters within seven days of each other. Both of which I'm currently on the fence about and will probably wait a few weeks before going to a matinee showing.
ParaNorman
The film I am most excited about from the August lineup. A quirky clay-mation film about a boy who can see ghosts and has to save his town from an ancient curse. And he has a zombie toothbrush. XD
Premium Rush
One of the two vehicles this year for JGL's leap into lead roles in action films. 50/50 proved that he could carry a film, and his supporting roles in Inception and The Dark Knight Rises proved he knows his way around an action flick. (Let's forget that he was in the first G.I. Joe film...) Add in writer/director David Koepp who wrote the screenplays for Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Lost World, and Spider-Man, and this looks pretty promising.
Lawless (previously titled The Wettest County)
Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pierce, Gary Oldman, Mia Wasikowska, and unfortunately, Shia LaBeouf star in a prohibition era film about a bootlegging gang and the authorities who want a cut in their profits. The trailer looks intense, and this should be a one-stop-shop for awesome period action and violence. Directed by John Hillcoat of The Road and Proposition fame.
What films are you most excited about seeing in August?
