OZ: THE GREAT
AND POWERFUL
Ender’s Game
2013 will have no shortage of sci-fi action films, but
Ender’s Game is likely to stand out from the crowd. Based
on Orson Scott Card’s mind-bending novel about a young
boy sent to a military academy in space to train for an alien
invasion, the film features a strong cast with Asa Butterfield
(of Hugo fame) as Ender Wiggin, and Viola Davis,
Harrison Ford, Ben Kinglsey and Hailee Steinfeld rounding
out the rest of the team. The film is directed by South
African filmmaker Gavin Hood, who wrote and directed
the award-winning 2005 film Tsotsi.
FAST-FORWARD
Five films not to miss in 2013
Anchorman: The Legend Continues
2013
will be the year of … more
comic book-based films, more
action flicks and more zombie
apocalypse movies, not to
mention sequels, more sequels
and reboots: Man of Steel (another Superman reboot), The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire (the second film of the
trilogy), Jack Ryan (a second reboot of the Tom Clancy
franchise), A Good Day to Die Hard (Bruce Willis’ fifth
time as Mr. McClane), World War Z (Brad Pitt fights
zombies), Pacific Rim (robots vs. monsters), This is the
End (Seth Rogan and James Franco play themselves
facing an apocalypse), Iron Man 3 (Robert Downey Jr.
faces his ultimate enemy in Ben Kingsley). These films are
all well and good (and certainly have an audience) but
among all the explosions, undead hijinks and cheesy one-
liners that can only be delivered while packing heat, here
are five films not to miss in 2013.
Oz: The Great and Powerful
Although nothing can ever replace the 1939 original
(there is only one Judy Garland after all), Oz brims with a
talented all-star cast with James Franco as Oz, Michelle
Williams as Glinda the Good Witch, Rachel Weisz as
Evanora the Wicked Witch of the East and Mila Kunis as
Theodora the Wicked Witch of the West. The classic
fantasy is expected to have a racy spin with director Sam
Raimi at the helm — it’s the first film he directed since
2009’s Drag Me to Hell.
Considering how sequel- and franchise-happy
Hollywood is these days, it’s incredible it took the industry
nine years to release the second-installment of Anchorman,
the instant comedy classic. Will Ferrell, Christina
Applegate, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner and
Luke Wilson reprise their roles but even more exciting is
the rumor that Kristen Wiig has joined the cast. “Hey
America, did you miss my hot breath in your ear?” Ron
Burgundy purrs in the trailer. Yes, yes we did.
The Great Gatsby
Movie 43
Let’s hope this F. Scott Fitzgerald adaptation actually
does come out in 2013 because it’s already been delayed
twice (release dates were set for summer 2012 and then
winter 2012). The film, however, looks like it will be
worth the wait. Carey Mulligan (as Daisy Buchanan),
Leonardo DiCaprio (as Jay Gatsby) and Tobey McGuire
(as Nick Carraway) offer some serious acting chops while
director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge) waves his magic
eye-candy wand to create the glittering, flapper-happy
backdrop for the 1920s tale of luxury, obsession and
tragedy.
It’s difficult to say exactly what this Peter Farrelly
(There’s Something About Mary) comedy is about — the
trailer is hilarious but offers few plot hints — however we
do know the details of the crackerjack ensemble cast,
which includes Halle Berry, Kate Winslet, J.B. Smoove,
Emma Stone, Stephen Merchant, Richard Gere, Hugh
Jackman, Terrence Howard, Anna Faris, Jason Sudeikis,
Naomi Watts, Justin Long, Elizabeth Banks, Uma
Thurman, Liev Schreiber, Kristen Bell and many, many
more. We were sold at Naomi Watts’ side ponytail
complete with hot pink scrunchy. ■
