Now that’s almost an impossible question, there are so many to choose from, like:Will Eisner: The SpiritEisner is The God of comics and graphic novels who was praised for his experiments in content and form. No wonder that the Comics Industry's equivalent of the Oscars are “The Eisner Awards”. The Spirit was a masked crime fighter who gradually became a sidekick in his own series given the stage to brilliant urban stories with amazing art and layouts.Don Lawrence & Mike Butterworth: The Rise and Fall of the Trigan EmpireAlex Ross (also mentioned below) is one of the best artists in super hero comic books. Don Lawrence is certainly his compeer in the Science Fiction genre. Both artists stand out with their realistic painted art. Trigië tells the tale of a Nomad tribe the Vorg on the planet Electron. The tribe is led by three brothers Brag, Klud and Trigo. After many setbacks Trigo manages to build the most powerful empire on the planet: the Trigan Empire with its capital Trigopolis. The clothes, weapons and cites are clearly inspired by the Roman Empire. But gradually more modern weapons, buildings and vehicles appear, ultimately ending in space travel. This was the comic book that shaped my youth!André Franquin: Gaston LaGaffeBelgium cartoonist André Franquin is considered the undisputed master of the comic book art form in large parts of Europe. His flagship series focuses on the everyday life of Gaston Lagaffe (whose surname means "the blunder"), a lazy and accident-prone office junior. The comic follows the classic "gag" format of Franco-Belgian comics: one-page stories (initially half-a-page) with an often visual punch line. Franquin's style is characterized by extremely nervous characters and action and very quotable dialogue. The series is much loved not only for its perfectly timed comedy, but also for its warm outlook on everyday life.Kurt Busiek & Alex Ross: MarvelsSet from 1939 to 1974, the series examines the Marvel Universe, the collective setting of most of Marvel's superhero series, from the perspective of an Everyman character: news photographer Phil Sheldon. The street-level series portrayed ordinary life in a world full of costumed supermen, with each issue featuring events well known to readers of Marvel comics as well as a variety of minute details and retelling the most famous events in the Marvel universe, like: the original battle between the Human Torch and the Submariner, Captain America’s heroics, the Avengers, Fantastic Four and the X-men, the coming of Galactus, Spiderman: the death of Gwen Stacy. All this visualized by the incredible art of Alex Ross. If you want to be amazed by Marvel, this is the book to get!Marten Toonder: the Tom Puss/Oliver B. Bumble seriesToonder was probably the most successful comic artist in the Netherlands. His most famous comic series were the Tom Puss (Tom Poes in Dutch) and Oliver B. Bumble (Olivier B. Bommel in Dutch) series that appeared in a Dutch newspaper from 1941–86. It started out as a children's cartoon, but gradually became more relevant to adults. Nowadays his texts are considered literature to some critics, and Toonder received several literary prizes for them. He invented many new words and expressions and some of those are now widely used in the Dutch language.Gary Larson: The Far SideI think that Gary is the funniest American single panel cartoon artist ever. His drawing style and surreal humor are immediately recognizable. Expect lots of dinosaurs and other animals as well as an extremely high ‘Cow-Factor”. One could measure his talent by the number of books he sold (forty-five million copies), but better by you going back to your bookshelves to enjoy his craziness time and time again.Unfortunately:FarWorks has a serious problem with unauthorized uses of The Far Side worldwide. As a result, it does not allow online publication of works from The Far Side. So sadly I had to remove the image.Alan Moore & David Lloyd: V for VendettaThe story about V, an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, fighting a revolutionist campaign to murder his former captors, bring down the government and convince the people to rule themselves, while inspiring a young woman to be his protégé. All of this set in a post-apocalyptic near-future history version of the United Kingdom in the 1990s: Brilliant!Marcel Gotlib: La Rubrique-à-BracThe French take their comic books very seriously. Comic books are called “La bande dessinée” and are often referred to as “The 9th Art”. Marcel Gotlib is one of the captains on this ship. He is an artist/writer and publisher. Through his own work and the magazines he co-founded, L'Écho des Savanes and Fluide Glacial, he was a key figure in the switch in French-language comics from their children's entertainment roots to an adult tone and readership. La Rubrique-à-Brac is a series of hilarious mock lectures on random subjects, including the extensive use of random running gags (Isaac Newton getting hit on the head by random objects being the omnipresent one) and the presence of a miniature character, a ladybug mimicking the action, to make up for the absence of backgrounds, which Gotlib disliked drawing.Bill Watterson: Calvin and HobbesWatterson is an amazing artist (e.g. his facial expressions are genius), but that’s being topped by his awesome sense of humor and his talent to weave in current issues about the environment, education, philosophy and the flaws of opinion polls. All of this is shown through the eyes of a slightly mischievous, six-year-old boy Calvin who is the only one who can talk to his pet tiger Hobbes. You will smile, you will laugh and you will stop and think every now and then too!Frank Cho: Liberty MeadowsWhat do they all have in common: a beautiful animal psychiatrist, a sexy rocket scientist, a midget circus bear, a sexist pig with a drinking problem, a dim-witted frog with hypochondria a, psychotic villain cow, etc.? They all star in Frank “Monkey Boy” Cho’s hilarious comic book Liberty Meadows. It relates to the comedic activities of the staff and denizens of an animal sanctuary/rehabilitation clinic. Brilliantly drawn and full of bad boys’ mischievousness! I personally would rate Liberty Meadows over Calvin & Hobbes.François Schuiten & Benoît Peeters: Cities of the FantasticA graphic novel series set on a Counter-Earth, by two Belgian comics artists, started in the early 1980s. In this fictional world, humans live in independent city-states, each of which has developed a distinct civilization, each characterized by a distinctive architectural style. Out of the ordinary art and stories!Berkeley Breathed: Bloom County and OutlandBrilliant comic examining events in politics and culture through the viewpoint of a fanciful small town in Middle America, where children often have adult personalities and vocabularies and where animals can talk. It’s sharp witty, brilliantly drawn and very, very funny. The comic earned Breathed the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning in 1987. Breathed retired the daily strip in 1989. He replaced this strip with the surreal Sunday-only cartoon Outland in 1989, which reused some of the Bloom County characters. The good news is that Bloom County has started again in 2015. And if you want to find out what good story teller/artist Berkeley really is, get your hands on his children books too!Kurt Busiek, Brent Anderson & Alex Ross (covers): Astro cityI have got a great idea; let’s create a complete new universe of super heroes and villains in a new fictional city. Was that a good idea? You bet it was: Astro City and its creators have won a number of Eisner Awards and Harvey Awards, as well as several Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards, highly recommended!“The usual gang of idiots”: Mad MagazineMad Magazine is a world famous American humor magazine founded in 1952. It shaped the critical minds and sense of humor of generations. The message Mad has in general is, “The media is lying to you, and ..... we are part of the media.” It message basically is: 'Think for yourselves, kids.' The Magazine is still going strong and can be recognized by Mad's mascot, Alfred E. Neuman, who is typically the focal point of the magazine's cover, with his face often replacing that of a celebrity or character who islampooned within the issue. The geniuses responsible for this madness s are the“The usual gang of idiots”, including (but not limited to): Dick DeBartolo,Desmond Devlin, Frank Jacobs, Larry Siegel, Sergio Aragonés, Dave Berg, DuckEdwing, Al Jaffee, Don Martin, Paul Peter Porges, Antonio Prohías, Bob Clarke,Paul Coker, Jack Davis, Mort Drucker, Jack Rickard and Angelo Torres, and more.Jim Steranko: Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.Steranko is one of the “big guns” during the Silver Age of comics. He earned lasting acclaim for his innovations in sequential art, particularly his infusion of surrealism, op art, and graphic design into the medium. He began penciling and inking "finishes" over Kirby layouts. Two issues later, he took over full penciling and also began drawing the every-other-issue "Nick Fury" cover art. Then, in a rarity for comics artists, he took over the series' writing. In another break with custom, he himself, rather than a Marvel staff artist, had become the series' uncredited colorist. This guy did it all.Frank Miller: The Dark Knight returnsThis is the comic book series responsible for making the Batman character really dark. Set in a near-future version of Gotham City, Bruce Wayne, at 55, has retired from crime fighting for ten years. Levels of crime are rising. Wayne feels forced to come out of retirement. Introducing a 13-year-old female sidekick in a Robin costumeand superman as a government lackey the book takes super hero comics to the next level.Hanco Kolk: MeccanoHanco Kolk is one of Holland's most famous comics artists. His style is immediately recognizable and could be describe as “the perfectly curved line”. His prize-winning series 'Meccano', is about a fictional country filled with decadence, revolt and uproar. The first publication was in the French magazine L'Écho des Savanes in 1989, and five books have been published between 1992 and 2007.Enki Bilal: The Nikopol TrilogyBilal wrote the script and did the artwork for this amazing trilogy; and it took him more then a decade to complete it. It tells the tale of the incredible journey of Alcide Nikopol in the company of Horus of Hierakonopolis, the vengeful god and Jill Bioskop, the mysterious women with blue hair, from Paris to Berlin, Cairo to equator City. A unique mix of science fiction, anxiety, humor and strangeness.René Goscinny & Albert Uderzo: AsterixAsterix is a fearless and cunning warrior, ever eager for new adventures. He lives around 50 BC in a fictional village in northwest Armorica (a region of ancient Gaul mostly equivalent to modern Brittany). This village is celebrated as the only part of Gaul still not conquered by Julius Caesar and his Roman legions. The inhabitants of the village gain superhuman strength by drinking a magic potion prepared by their druid, Getafix. The Asterix series is brilliant because it works on different levels. Young kids will love it because of the adventures, the super human strength and the jokes. But on a second level, adults will love it because there are so many ironic references to today’s issues, cultures and countries.Dave Stevens: The RocketeerAn excellent homage to the Saturday matinee serial heroes of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s about a stunt pilot who discovers a mysterious jetpack that allows him to fly. His adventures are set in Los Angeles and New York in 1938, and Stevens gave them a retro, nostalgic feel. Highly recommended for fans of the era and/or indeed Betty Page.Alan Moore & Brian Bolland: Batman: The Killing JokeMany critics consider this one shot graphic novel to be the definitive Joker story and one of the best Batman stories ever published. The comic won the Eisner Award for 'Best Graphic Album' in 1989 and appeared on The New York Times Best Seller List in May 2009. The story became famous for its origin of the Joker as a tragic character; a family man and failed comedian who suffered "one bad day" that finally drove him insane.Frank Miller: Sin CityDark, hardboiled neo noir stories set in the fictional city: Basin City, almost universally referred to by the nickname Sin City. The series is famous for it’s unique artwork, predominantly in black & white with occasional single colors (red, blue etc.) to draw attention to specific details or characters. The writing style also draws heavily on detective and crime pulp fiction. Strange metaphors and similes are often used. This gives the narration a very "pulpy" feel. Miller's Sin City work challenges some conventions of comic book form. The letters of onomatopoeic words like "blam" are often incorporated into scenes via lighting effects, or are suggested by the negative space between panels, or are created by the outline of the panels themselves. It won Miller multiple awards.Martin Lodewijk: Agent 327In Agent 327, Dutch comic book artist/writer Martin Lodewijk has created a particularly funny parody of James Bond. The series deals with the adventures of the Dutch secret agent Hendrik IJzerbroot. Each album is named “Dossier ……..” In the first album: “Dossier Voice Quadruple” Agent 327 accidently bumps into the master villain “Doctor Maybe” who of course wants to conquer the world. The atmosphere and the humor in the strip refer explicitly to Dutch places, people, commercials, TV shows, comics, politicians and other Dutch cultural phenomena. The characters are drawn in a caricature style the backgrounds are drawn more realistic and the action is very dynamic and it’s very,very funny.Mark Waid & Alex Ross: Kingdom ComeEpic tale from the DC universe set in a future that deals with a growing conflict between the visibly out-of-touch "traditional" superheroes, and a growing population of largely amoral and dangerously irresponsible new vigilantes, in many cases the offspring of the traditional heroes. Between these two groups is Batman and his assembled team, who attempt to contain the escalating disaster. Try and get the special hard cover box set that has an additional booklet (Revelations) guiding you through all the surprises, details and Easter eggs that Mr. Ross included into his brilliantly painted pages!Arthur Suydam: MudwogsArthur Suydam is a very talented artist, who burst onto the scene in the 1970's with his creative innovation of infusing the art of sequential art with classical painting. His extraordinary work helped revolutionize the industry and began the comic art renaissance of the 1980's, opening doors for mainstream writers and artists. Suydam's Mudwog's strips are the weirdest, most warped, yet most original take on the 'funny animals' theme. There has never been anything quite like them.Jean-Michel Charlier & Jean Giraud (aka Moebius): BlueberryIsn’t it amazing: the best Western comic book is created by a Belgium/French duo! At first the stories were rooted into the classic western mythology drawing inspiration from movie director John Ford. But quickly it started to turn into a spaghetti western dealing with topics like: revenge, greed and treason. The main character Mike Steve Blueberry Donovan (who is modeled after the French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo) is an anti-hero, who loves to gamble and is constantly on the run. Most of the story lines are spread out over multiple albums. And Blueberry is a rare comic book character since he actually ages while the stories unfold.Hermann: Comanche & JeremiahAnd here’s another great Western comic which; was followed by a post apocalyptic “Western” series, both created by Hermann Huppen, who signs with solely his first name, and is one of the most popular Belgian artists. With scenarist Greg he created the western 'Comanche'. More dramatic and hard-boiled than 'Blueberry', 'Comanche' ranks among the best series in the genre. The main character of Comanche, Red Dust, is a cowboy, and the series isn't even named after him. Comanche is a young and strong woman whose ranch is the cause of most of Red Dust adventures. Without her, Red Dust would probably be an empty bounty hunter. After ten years, Hermann cancelled his collaboration with Greg to begin a series of his own: Jeremiah, where racial wars have torn the U.S. apart, resulting in a post-apocalyptic world. Many small pockets of civilization still exist; from isolated super high-tech fortresses, hidden research labs, or racial groups in walled-in cities — all fighting each other among the more regular population which in many ways resembles the "old west". Jeremiah and his friend Kurdy travel the country, taking odd jobs and getting mixed up in various affairs. Jeremiah, being the more noble of the two, often sticks his neck out to help others, while Kurdy is a wilier, opportunistic scoundrel. The storylines carry little from album to album, meaning they can be read individually.Moebius (aka Jean Giraud) & Alejandro Jodorowsky: The Incal seriesThis is a Sci-Fi masterpiece about the tribulations of the shabby detective John Difool as he searches for the precious and coveted Incal. John Difool, a low-class detective in a degenerate dystopian world, finds his life turned upside down when he discovers anancient, mystical artifact called "The Incal." Difool’s adventures will bring him into conflict with the galaxy’s greatest warrior, the Metabaron, and will pit him against the awesome powers of the Technopope. These encounters and many more make up a tale of comic and cosmic proportions that has Difool fighting for not only his very survival, but also the survival of the entire universe. An interesting detail (SPOILER ALERT!): create a Möbius strip with a piece of paper and tape. If an ant were to crawl along the length of this strip, it would return to its starting point having traversed the entire length of the strip (on both sides of the original paper) without ever crossing anedge. No surprise that the Incal Comic book ends with the same scene it started with!Wim T. Schippers & Theo van den Boogaard: Sjef van OekelDaring Dutch comic based on a very popular fictive TV character Sjef van Oekel, created in 70’s by Schippers. Van Oekel became very popular due to his crazy catchphrases that earned him a legendary status within the Dutch student scene. Due to his popularity he got his own comic book series that became disreputable, because it was far more explicit then the TV series. It dealt with many taboo subjects such as religion, pornography, profanity, pedophilia and prostitution. Theo van den Bogaard is an award winning comic book artist and is considered the founder of the Dutch underground scene. His work is immediately recognizable by the Clear Line Style and the extremely detailed backgrounds. Van den Boogaard’s art and Schipper’s writing make Sjef van Oekel a very unique comic book! For adults only though.André Franquin: Modeste et PomponIn 1955, following a contractual dispute with his publisher Dupuis, André Franquinwent for a short stint at the rival TinTin magazine. This led to the creation of Modeste et Pompon. The comic is about Modeste, a short-tempered young suburbanite who is easily angered when things go wrong and his best friend Pompon. As well as Félix, a friend and a cousin but also a pesky salesman whose products invariably lead to disaster; as well as various neighbors. The comic is good reflection of the fashions of the 1950s, from Pompon's dress to Modeste's modern furniture (which, along with his temper, rather belies his name). The items Felix tries to sell to Modeste include a TV remote control and a battery-powered drill, which, though common enough today, were rather new at the time.Greg (aka Michel Regnier): Achille TalonA Franco-Belgium comic book series featuring the eponymous main character. The series presents the comic misadventures of the anti-hero Achille Talon. The name derives from "talon d'Achille", the French term for an "Achilles' heel", which suits the character although the Achilles' heel of Achille Talon is not his heel but his large nose. Verbal and visual humor are usually mixed, although sometimes the humor is strictly visual, sometimes mostly verbal. The visual humor is often from exaggeration (phones often do not simply ring, but explode), however occasionally it is subtle and understated (a factory spewing out toxic fumes, bearing a sign "Gourmet Foods”). The verbal humor is the strongest feature of the comic, and usually consists of long rants, in which internal inconsistencies; puns and sheer nonsense are cleverly interspersed. Of course, Achille Talon is almost invariably proven wrong and ends up being the butt of the joke.Philippe Druillet: Lone SloaneDruillet is a French comics artist, creator, and an innovator in visual design. He pursued innovations including bold page designs and computer-generated images. His backdrops of gigantic structures inspired by Art Nouveau, Indian temples and Gothic cathedrals earned him the nickname of "space architect". The Lone Sloane series is set 800 years after a catastrophic event called the "Great Fear". The stories feature Lone Sloane, who is caught by an entity called He Who Seeks, after his space ship is destroyed. He is thrown into a different dimension, where he becomes a space rogue and freebooter with strange powers. He finds himself caught in an intergalactic struggle between space pirates, gigantic robots, dark gods and other-dimensional entities. Very similar to Marvel’s Silver Surfer and Galactus, he is compelled to wander in a universe that is alien to him. The series stands out for the quasi-Baroque style of Druillet's artwork, which features H.P. Lovecraft's space nightmares mixed with M.C. Escher's influences. Every page is a work of art! And yes it will require some effort from the reader to absorb it all.Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko & others: HIP ComicsAnd this was the other series that shaped my youth! In the mid 1960’s Dutch publisher Classics Nederland decided to publish the Marvel Silver Age comics, translated in Dutch, and in Black and White, with full color covers. They alternated the heroes per issue. And that’s how my brother and me got to learn about those amazing heroes like: Spinneman (Spiderman), De Vier Verdedigers (Fantastic Four), De X-mannen (X-men), Rauwe Bonk (The Hulk), Ijzerman (Iron Man), De Wrekers (The Avengers) and Durfal (Dare Devil). These comics are highly collectable, I still have some and they bring back great memories.Will Eisner: A contract with God and Other Tenement StoriesThe is the first Graphic Novel! In the 1970s Eisner returned to the comic book world to realize his aspirations of creating comics with literary content. He wanted a mainstream publisher for the book and to have it sold in traditional bookstores, rather than in comic book shops; the small press Baronet Books released A Contract with God in 1978 and marketed it as a "graphic novel", which thereafter became the common term for book-length comics. The four short stories in the book revolve around poor Jewish characters who live in a tenement in New York City. The stories are thematically linked with motifs of frustration, disillusionment, violence, and issues of ethnic identity. Eisner uses large, monochromatic images in dramatic perspective, and emphasises the caricatured characters' facial expressions; few panels or captions have traditional borders around them.BUT IF I HAVE TO LIMIT IT TO ONE COMIC IT WILL BE THIS ONE:Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons: WatchmenWatchmen depicts an alternate history where superheroes emerged in the 1940s and 1960s, helping the United States to win the Vietnam War. In 1985, the country is edging toward nuclear war with the Soviet Union, freelance costumed vigilantes have been outlawed and most former superheroes are in retirement or working for the government. The story focuses on the personal development and moral struggles of the protagonists as an investigation into the murder of a government sponsored superhero pulls them out of retirement. The book has been voted as one of the most significant works of 20th century literature (yes….. not comics, but literature).

Though 2016 has been an epic year for movies, it almost feels like a warm-up when you look at the long list of blockbuster films already on the release calendar for 2017. Even though next year still feels far away, it's never too early to get excited about taking a trip to the theater, so we've lined up the biggest upcoming releases—and whether you're into action, comedy, horror, or drama, there's something here for everyone…Resident Evil: The Final Chapter - January 27Five years after Resident Evil: Retribution, Milla Jovovich returns to close out the sci-fi horror franchise she's led for more than a decade—and nearly $1 billion in worldwide grosses. Despite the long lapse between sequels, this sixth installment will reportedly pick up right where Retribution left off while following director Paul W.S. Anderson's mandate to come full circle with the saga of a dystopian future in which a corporate-created virus has unleashed a zombie plague. In other words, if you haven't been watching so far, this isn't the best place to come in—but if the Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City, and "t-virus" are meaningful phrases for you, then you may want to mark your calendar.John Wick: Chapter 2 - February 10After everything he went through in the first movie, what could possibly convince John Wick to come out of retirement? Dog lovers will be relieved to hear it isn't the death of another pooch that gets his guns blazing in John Wick: Chapter 2—this time, one of John's old buddies is in the middle of a scheme to topple an assassin's guild and he needs backup. The circumstances are different, but the end results look pretty much the same: tons of stylish violence with Keanu Reeves in the middle of it all, back in the role he might have been born to play.The Lego Batman Movie - February 10Not long ago, the idea of a movie "based on" Legos seemed too silly for words, but then The Lego Movie racked up nearly $470 million while making us all root for plastic bricks (and play "Everything Is Awesome" on endless repeat). Taking the hint, Warner Bros. is diving right in with a universe of Lego-derived films, starting with this spin-off, which brings back Will Arnett as Gotham's Caped Crusader. He's joined by an intriguing cast that includes his Arrested Development castmate Michael Cera as Robin, Zach Galifianakis as the Joker, and Mariah Carey as the mayor—and with Lego Movie animation co-director Chris McKay on board to helm the film from a script by Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter director Seth Grahame-Smith, we're sure plenty of inspired silliness awaits.The Great Wall - February 17Zhang Yimou's sprawling historical fantasy epic The Great Wall has been hit with early backlash over its casting of Matt Damon as the star of what's otherwise an eastern narrative. But the film has an intriguing (albeit a little ridiculous) idea: The Great Wall of China was built to keep out more than just unwanted human neighbors.The story was created in part by World War Z novelist Max Brooks, whose book segments about China's part in the zombie apocalypse were criminally underserved in the cinematic "adaptation" of his story, so this could be a point of serious creative redemption. Plus, the promotional materials have shown some ambitious special effects and stunts, and Bourne hero Damon's had some strong action successes in the past. From everything we've seen so far, The Great Wall will at least be a spectacular showcase of effects-heavy cinematography.Logan - March 3Hugh Jackman has played Wolverine for so long that it's nearly impossible to imagine anyone else in the role of the adamantium-clawed X-Men mutant. Soon, Fox will need to figure out who'll be the next actor to play the part, but first, Jackman's getting his swan song with a third standalone Wolverine feature. The film's plot draws from Marvel's Old Man Logan comic, about an alternate-future version of the (nearly) ageless hero. The film will also feature the return of Patrick Stewart's Professor X, adding yet another layer of closure for longtime fans of the franchise.Kong: Skull Island - March 10None of the many attempts to expand or remake the story of King Kong have managed to come anywhere near the classic original. But where there's franchise potential, there's a would-be blockbuster waiting to happen—so on March 10, 2017, the big guy returns with Kong: Skull Island. Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (The Kings of Summer) and starring Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson, and Samuel L. Jackson, this '70s-set trip into the Kong mythos gives viewers the biggest version of the character they've ever seen—which is a good thing for Kong, because after Skull Island finishes its theatrical run, Legendary is planning to pit him against Godzilla in a monster mashup for the ages.Beauty and the Beast - March 17Disney's campaign to turn each of their animated classics into live-action blockbusters continues with Beauty and the Beast, which offers a new perspective on their 1991 hit. Like Disney's earlier Beauty, this version draws inspiration from the classic fairy tale about a prince (played here by Dan Stevens) who's cursed with a grotesque appearance, yet finds love with a pure-hearted maiden (Emma Watson) imprisoned in his castle after her father (Kevin Kline) offers her up in a deal to spare his own life. Like a lot of stories from the era, it's rather dark, but Disney's animated adaptation put a family-friendly spin on it with music and humor, and we can expect the same here—plus a cast that includes Ewan McGregor and Sir Ian McKellen.Power Rangers - March 24Go Go Power Rangers! Whether or not you've ever had a preference for the red, yellow, pink, blue, black, or even the occasionally-seen green or white rangers, those ninja steel-wielding high schoolers were loads of fun to watch (and dress up as) back in the day. The forthcoming Power Rangers isn't the first movie to capitalize on the mighty morphin '90s craze, of course. During the original family television series' popular run, the show's cast members teamed up for a big-screen adventure in the somewhat successful 1995 film Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, which was quickly followed up by 1997's Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie and several spinoff series.However, Director Dean Israelite's take on the story offers a much more serious and emotionally charged account of how these misfit teens managed to become a band of unlikely world saviors, battling back the forces of evil—namely, Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks)—with the help of their sage mentor Zordon (Bryan Cranston). The film features young actors Dacre Montgomery, R.J. Cyler, Naomi Scott, Becky G., Zack Taylor, and Billy Cranston as the superhero squad, and if the film does manage to renew even a smidgen of the Power Rangers frenzy that the series enjoyed in the '90s, it's going to be massive.Ghost in the Shell - March 31Rupert Sanders' adaptation of the popular Masamune Shirow manga series of the same name has been riddled with controversy over its "whitewashed" casting of Scarlett Johansson as the main heroine, the Mayor. But Johansson's box office track record is still nothing to discount, and Sanders and Johansson also received the in-person blessings of Mamoru Oshii, Kenji Jamiyama, and Kenji Kawaii, who were each responsible for the original animated versions of the story.Assuming audiences can look past the controversy surrounding the racial inconsistencies from page to screen, Ghost in the Shell is expected to be a visual spectacular that chronicles an epic chase between a cyborg policewoman and a dangerous hacker with the same kind of gnarly effects and existential futurism that captivated audiences in films like The Matrix, Johansson's own turn in Lucy, and The Fifth Element.The Fate of the Furious - April 14The fate of the Furious franchise seemed a bit uncertain in the wake of star Paul Walker's sudden passing in 2013, which complicated production of 2015's Furious 7 and put the burden of additional expectations on his longtime co-star and friend, Vin Diesel. But with nearly $4 billion in worldwide grosses, Universal wasn't about to garage its gearhead soap opera, so like clockwork, the gang will return for an eighth installment—and one that's already being set up as a callback to previous chapters as well as a springboard into a new trilogy that will reportedly see stories pivot away from the heist capers of recent sequels and into a spy saga spearheaded by Kurt Russell's Frank Petty character.According to the official synopsis, the new sequel—titled The Fate of the Furious—finds Dom (Vin Diesel) lured back "into the world of crime he can't seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him" by a "mysterious woman" (Charlize Theron), setting up another worldwide adventure that sends our crew "from the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea." Listen carefully and under the roar of the motors, you can already hear the box office cash registers ringing.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 - May 5Initially, it seemed like a hilariously dumb idea for Marvel to turn a relatively obscure comic about a ragtag team of intergalactic do-gooders—whose ranks include a raccoon-like creature and an alien resembling a sentient tree—into a $200 million movie. Nearly $775 million in box office receipts later, Guardians of the Galaxy could be the start of an Avengers-style franchise for the studio, and Chris Pratt, whose biggest credit prior to taking on the role of Peter "Star-Lord" Quill came as doughy doofus Andy Dwyer in NBC's Parks & Recreation, is a full-on action hero. The gang's all back for Vol. 2, along with writer-director James Gunn, and while we don't have many details regarding what they'll be up to this time around, we're confident it'll be tons of fun.Alien: Covenant - May 19With 2012's Prometheus, Ridley Scott made his eagerly awaited return to the Alien franchise by way of a prequel that hinted at the long-ago beginnings of his blockbuster saga's story. Under the weight of decades' worth of sequels, spinoffs, and expectations, the end result couldn't help but disappoint some viewers, and in spite of a $400 million gross and largely positive reviews, there's a sense of unfinished business hanging over the sequel. Fans who feel Prometheus didn't tie into the Alien films strongly enough might be better served by Alien: Covenant, which brings back Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace to show what happens after they hijack an ancient spacecraft in order to venture to the homeworld of the mysterious Engineers and halt their plans for humanity.Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - May 26Pre-production on this fifth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean saga started back when the previous sequel, 2011's On Stranger Tides, was on its way to theaters, and its path through development has been strewn with script difficulties and budget-induced delays. Still, any new chapter in a franchise that's grossed nearly $4 billion counts as a promising development for the studio, and Disney has stood by while producer Jerry Bruckheimer steered Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales to its destination. Directed by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg (Kon-Tiki), this adventure sees Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow face off against an old nemesis played by Javier Bardem—and sees the return of Orlando Bloom's Will Turner in his new guise as Davy Jones.Wonder Woman - June 2After being introduced to audiences in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman will get her own standalone feature, which is rumored to be the first installment in a period-piece trilogy that will take audiences from the 1920s to the present day. Monster director Patty Jenkins is at the helm, with a screenplay from Pan writer Jason Fuchs. Meanwhile, Gadot will be surrounded by a supporting cast that includes Chris Pine, Robin Wright, and Danny Huston. Whatever actually happens in the movie, it's a long-overdue victory for comics fans who've waited years for the Amazonian warrior to get a shot at her own big-screen franchise—and it may help Warner Bros. gain a demographic edge on Marvel in the superhero blockbuster arms race.World War Z 2 - June 9For a movie that tried to spin an action-thriller yarn out of a bestseller that used the oral history format to tell the story of a worldwide zombie outbreak—and had an infamously troubled production in the bargain—World War Z turned out to be a surprisingly entertaining (not to mention extremely commercially successful) film. Which brings us to the inevitable sequel, World War Z 2, in which Brad Pitt returns to battle the zombie plague. We don't know much about the plot at this point, but director Juan Antonio Bayona (The Orphanage, The Impossible) will be working from a screenplay by Steven Knight, whose varied list of credits includes the chess drama Pawn Sacrifice and Bradley Cooper's Burnt.Cars 3 - June 16Rev up your engines, kids, because Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is back in high-speed action in Disney-Pixar's Cars 3. The 3D animated adventure, which follows the events of 2006's Cars and 2011's Cars 2, will follow the famous red race car on his journey to catch up with a new generation of speedsters and feature the return of some fan favorites like Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), Sally Carrera (Bonnie Hunt), and Ramone (Cheech Marin) while adding fresh fuel to the cinematic tank by way of yellow car and race technician Cruz Ramirez and the rookie racer McQueen longs to defeat, Jackson Storm. Considering how well the first two films (and spinoffs Planes and Planes: Fire & Rescue) have done at the box office, this one's sure to be a hit with the summertime family crowd.Transformers: The Last Knight - June 23Every time Michael Bay thinks he's out of the Transformers franchise, they pull him back in with a fresh boatload of cash. Bay's been making noises about being done with Optimus Prime and his buddies for years, and was initially only on board to produce this installment in the series. But the executives at Paramount must have been pretty persuasive, because he's still in the director's seat for what he insists will be his final Transformers film. Aside from Mark Wahlberg being back as the saga's current human star, The Last Knight looks like it'll plunge viewers into a time-traveling plot that includes King Arthur and an alternate history in which Nazis won World War II—plus plenty of action and lots of lead-ins to the assortment of spinoff films the studio's planning.Despicable Me 3 - June 30From its humble beginnings as a cartoon about a funny-looking supervillain who sets out to steal the moon and ends up adopting three adorable munchkins, Despicable Me has grown into an impressively adaptable franchise for Universal. In addition to 2013's Despicable Me 2, it's also spun off a prequel (2015's Minions), six short films, three video games, and a theme park attraction—and as we can see from the 2017 release schedule, it isn't done yet. Details are still very sketchy regarding this third installment, but we can safely assume Steve Carell will be back as the nefarious (but kinda cuddly) Gru—and we know he'll be working from a script written by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, who collaborated on the first two films.Spider-Man: Homecoming - July 7Sony's hopes for a Spider-Man film universe were dealt an embarrassing setback after director Marc Webb's reboots underperformed. But even if we aren't getting a Sinister Six or Venom movie anytime soon, the core franchise remains a top priority at the studio—as evidenced by this new reboot, which will find Tom Holland starring as the web-slinger in a standalone film while doing double duty as a supporting player in a number of Marvel movies (starting with Captain America: Civil War). Jon Watts, who helmed the creepy low-budget Kevin Bacon thriller Cop Car, is on board as director for a storyline that features Robert Downey, Jr.'s Tony Stark playing mentor to young Spidey in his battle against the Vulture (Michael Keaton).War for the Planet of the Apes - July 14Dawn of the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves returns for this follow-up, which picks up from Dawn's final scene—a grim foreshadowing of the major conflict brewing between genetically enhanced primates and a human population decimated by a virus dubbed the Simian Flu. Andy Serkis is back as the apes' leader, Caesar, whose journey from young chimp to noble warrior has formed the backbone for the franchise's overall arc. He's joined by Steve Zahn (as a new ape) and Woody Harrelson (as a character known as the Colonel, reportedly the film's chief antagonist). Reeves, who co-wrote the script, is keeping storyline details under wraps, but says the events depicted in War for the Planet of the Apes see Caesar achieving "mythic" status.Dunkirk - July 21After a decade spent in the sci-fi/fantasy realm, writer-director Christopher Nolan has put his considerable talents to work on a historical drama about a World War II battle. Dunkirk reunites Nolan with a pair of his Dark Knight and Inception alums, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy, and early footage hearkens back to the heart-pounding beachfront battle imagery in the legendary opening scene from Saving Private Ryan.Nolan's attention to historical detail on the partial IMAX production—including shooting on the site of the real-life events that inspired it—will no doubt serve his tale of heroism and survival well. And considering his box office track record, Dunkirk is sure to be a summer blockbuster that's much more engrossing than the usual generic popcorn fare.The Dark Tower - July 28Of all the adaptations Stephen King's written works have produced, Nikolaj Arcel's The Dark Tower has to be the most anticipated. The sci-fi western horror film will follow the events of King's prolific Dark Tower book series—reportedly picking up some time after the ending of The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower, with elements from the first book, The Gunslinger.The story will present the apocalyptic adventure of an 11-year-old boy named Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor) as he accidentally uncovers the Mid-World dimension and joins up with Roland Deschain (Idris Elba) to find the Dark Tower before the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey) can stop him from saving his dimension from certain destruction. Like King's book series, the film will juxtapose Wild West-style revolver action with supernatural elements and fantastic locales that constitute their own, radical plane of reality. The King faithful are sure to turn up for this long-overdue Hollywood treatment of the beloved series, especially with Elba and McConaughey's star power driving the narrative.IT - September 8The 1991 TV miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's IT amassed a cult following but, unfortunately, the four-hour feature's laughable special effects and disorienting cutaway-style editing haven't aged well. Tim Curry's original performance as the town-terrorizing clown Pennywise still set a high bar for anyone to follow in the role, though—his signature cackle remains a chilling childhood memory for many—so when director Andrés Muschietti revealed his new version of the character (now played by Bill Skarsgård) in a costume that could've easily been borrowed from a schoolgirl's dress-up chest, it's only natural that he faced a little blowback.There's still reason to believe this thing will be a hit with the King faithful, though. There's a bevy of talent on board, including Skarsgård and Finn Wolfhard (of the breakthrough young cast from Stranger Things), and there were plenty of scenes from the book that were glossed over in the first adaptation. IT is just one of two chapters in the story of an ageless monster who picks the wrong group of kids to mess with; part two is expected to pick up their story as adults, when they reunite to grapple with it again.Blade Runner 2049 - October 6What kind of chutzpah does a person need to have in order to try and follow up a towering sci-fi classic like Blade Runner? It's a daunting task to say the least, but Blade Runner 2049 director Denis Villeneuve has a few big things going for him—most importantly, the presence of original Blade Runner director Ridley Scott, who's producing, and star Harrison Ford, reprising his role as Rick Deckard. Ford's joined by an ensemble rounded out by Ryan Gosling, Robin Wright, and Jared Leto (not to mention Dave "Drax" Bautista), all working from a script co-written by Blade Runner writer Hampton Fancher with Michael Green (Logan, Alien: Covenant). Storyline details are under wraps and whether the end result can stand up alongside the original obviously remains to be seen, but all the ingredients are here for a helluva movie.Kingsman: The Golden Circle - October 6The creative team behind 2015's Kingsman: The Secret Service reunites for this sequel, with director Matthew Vaughn continuing to work with characters created by comics legends Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. The plot details are still a little loose—rumor has it that the Kingsman British spy team will team up with their American equivalents after their headquarters are destroyed by a lethal foe—but who needs a synopsis when you've got a cast this intriguingly weird? Returning stars Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, and Sophie Cookson are joined by an eclectic ensemble that includes Channing Tatum, Halle Berry, Julianne Moore, Jeff Bridges, and Elton John. Also reportedly in the mix? Kingsman star Colin Firth, who—if you've seen the original—is kind of a surprising addition. Whatever happens in The Golden Circle, we're betting it won't be dull.Friday the 13th Reboot - October 13Pity today's young film fans, for they've never experienced the cheesy joy that was being treated to regular installments of Friday the 13th throughout the '80s. Between 1980 and 1989, the hockey-masked slasher Jason Voorhees hacked his way through scores of screaming nubile victims in eight films—although by the end of the decade, the franchise had started to teeter between stale and ridiculous, and subsequent attempts to extend or reboot the character's mythology have failed to draw much of a following. This latest overhaul arrives nearly a decade after the last reboot, which grossed nearly $100 million. Although little is known about the plot, we're pretty sure it has to do with a guy in a hockey mask chopping sexed-up teens to bits.Saw: Legacy - October 27Lionsgate was definitely playing a game by presenting 2010's Saw 3D: The Final Chapter as the very last round of Jigsaw's punishing plans. While details are scant on what the newest round of trap-filled thrills will bring, composer Charlie Clouser told The Hollywood Reporter that the eighth installment of the franchise will be a "reinvention" of the series and that co-directors Michael and Peter Spierig offer "a fresh take on the material that will establish a new storyline and new characters that can carry the saga into the future."Some speculate that the new flick will pick up material left on the screenwriting table by Saw 3D, as that film was originally supposed to be split in two. As screenwriters Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan revealed to bloody-digusting.com, the return of Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) to the final installment was supposed to be a little more eventful than it already was. "The big reveal of Dr. Gordon was a bit underserved as a result [of not being split into two], perhaps creating more questions than answers. There were several ideas we never quite figured out, but I don't want to say what they were because you never know what might happen in the future."Thor: Ragnarok - November 3In Norse mythology, Ragnarök is an apocalyptic series of events that results in the world being plunged into water after the deaths of several gods—including Odin, Thor, and Loki—and culminates in a planetary rebirth. Needless to say, it's obvious from the title that Thor: Ragnarok won't be a jolly good time for our hammer-wielding hero (Chris Hemsworth), although we can guess from his imminent participation in the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War movies that he'll emerge relatively unscathed after the final act. Whatever happens here, he'll be joined by Mark Ruffalo, reprising his Marvel Universe role as Bruce Banner/the Hulk, and working under the direction of New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi, who earned raves for his 2014 vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows.Justice League - November 17Marvel has done a brilliant job of laying out the template for a successful shared universe, and now Warner Bros. is following in its rival's footsteps with its DC Comics properties, which are due to get their first moments in the all-star superhero team spotlight with Justice League. Director Zack Snyder has already agreed to helm, and confirmed members of the cast include stars from the studio's pre-existing franchises, including Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, and Ben Affleck, as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman, respectively. While we don't yet have any idea what danger our team will face, we do know it'll be serious enough to attract the attention of Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher). And with a sequel already scheduled for 2019, you can bet the battle won't end here.Star Wars: Episode VIII - December 15This is Star Wars we're talking about, so the list of things we truly know about Episode VIII is awfully short. But we do know a couple of important facts: one, Rian Johnson (Looper) will be in the director's chair; and two, most of Episode VII's cast will be back, including Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Adam Driver, along with OG franchise stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. Beyond that, pretty much all we can tell you is that this installment follows the events of Episode VII, and advances the new trilogy pitting the Resistance against the First Order led by Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) and his apprentice Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Oh, and another thing: it'll sell tons of tickets.Have a Hollywood-filled Happy New Year ! Cheers to 2017..!!
