【题目】
The Lion King Release date: July19, 2019
What it’s about: The CG reimagining of the Oscar-winning animated movie follows Simba who grapples with the decision to return home and take his place as king as his uncle Scar’s dictatorial leadership threatens to unravel the pride lands. Why we’re excited for this: The first teaser trailer looks like a near recreation of the opening of the 1994 movie. We have a lot of faith in director Jon Favreau who brought the live-action version of “The Jungle Book” to the big screen. That movie earned nearly $1 billion at theaters. |
Artemis Fowl Release date: August 9, 2019
What it's about: The adaptation of the Eoin Colfer novels follows 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl who comes from a family of criminal masterminds. Fowl finds himself face-to-face with a race of fairies who may have something to do with the mysterious disappearance of his father. Why we’re a bit reserved: Disney usually makes a big fuss over its trailer (预告片) releases. This will either be the start of the next “Harry Potter”-like franchise or a simple one-off if it underperforms. |
Frozen II Release date: Nov. 22, 2019
What it’s about: Disney Animation hasn’t released an official synopsis for the sequel to the 2013 hit, but we do know that Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, and Josh Gad will reprise their roles as Anna, Elsa, and Olaf, respectively. The film will also include new songs about the sisters. Why we’re interested: While the last “Frozen” short caused some backlash from fans, the sequel is in good hands with returning directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee and the Oscar-winning songwriting team of Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. |
Star Wars: Episode IX Release date: Dec. 20, 2019
What it's about: Disney and Lucasfilm haven't released an official synopsis yet for the ninth “Star Wars” movie， but we know it will serve as a culmination of the Skywalker storyline and will include more of Carrie Fisher’s General Leia through previously unused footage. Why you should see it: Say what you will about mixed reviews of “The Last Jedi,” but if you’ve invested years watching the “Star Wars” saga, don’t you want to see how it all ends for Kylo Ren and Rey? Maybe we’ll learn who Rey’s parents are--or not! |
