Every Movie Coming In 2018 That Should Be On Your Radar

April

The New Mutants

Date: April 13th
Director: Josh Boone
Writers: Josh Boone and Knate Gwaltney
Cast: Charlie Heaton, Anya Taylor-Joy, Maisie Williams, Alice Braga, Happy Anderson.

This is the 11th installment of the X-Men film franchise, and the first contribution to such from director Josh Boone. It essentially introduces a new generation of mutants to the X-Men cinematic universe, by telling a story about five youngsters whose extraordinary abilities are just beginning to emerge. They’re called to action when they resolve to escape the secret facility that is holding them against their will.

With the X-Men film series desperately needing a shot in the arm, The New Mutants carries a great deal of hope and expectation. It’s clearly intended to appeal to a somewhat younger audience, bringing a new crowd to the franchise as it heads into a new era.

Tully

Date: April 30th
Director: Jason Reitman
Writer: Diablo Cody
Cast: Mackenzie Davis, Charlize Theron, Mark Duplass, Ron Livingston, Emily Hain, Elaine Tan.

The professional partnership between director Jason Reitman and Academy Award winning writer Diablo Cody has delivered several excellent creative projects into movie theatres – and Tully will be the fourth. Billed as a comedy about motherhood, Academy Award winner Charlize Theron stars as mother-of-three, Marlo, whose brother hires a night nanny for her – named Tully. This is the second time Theron has collaborated with Reitman and Cody – the first being 2011’s Young Adult.
