miranda's in the heights

neighborhood in washington heights
manhattan

between 2008 and 2011
and won four tony awards including best
musical i've been saving up all my
pennies in my piggy bank for this day
this is going to be an emotional roller
coaster the odds are against you
the movie will star anthony ramos who
gained worldwide
fame for playing john laurens and
phillip hamilton in hamilton
[Music]
it is sure to attract a major following
thanks to the power of miranda's name
and it should prove one of hbo max's
biggest
non-franchise releases number nine judas
and the black messiah deputy chairman
fred hampton of the illinois black
panther party with daniel kaluya and
lakeith stanfield in starring roles
movie fans really won't go wrong with
judas and the black messiah
add in an interesting historical story
and this is sure to be one of the year's
most intriguing original films
18 months for the stolen car
five years for impersonating a federal
officer produced by ryan coogler
the movie will star kaluuya as black
panther party chairman fred hampton
in stanfield as william o'neill hampton
was deputy chairman of the bpp and was
deemed a radical threat by the fbi
who brought in o'neill who was placed as
a mole inside the bpp
[Applause]
the information he fed to the fbi
resulted in them raiding hampton's
apartment
with dire results on the morning of
december 4th 1969.
number eight the many saints of newark
focus on the good times
don't be shy while many people were left
frustrated with the ambiguous ending to
the sopranos
the story of tony soprano is over in a
way
remember when it's the lowest form of
conversation while fans will never know
precisely what happened to him
they will be able to see his early life
in the many saints of newark
a prequel set in 60s and 70s new jersey
i don't know how much of it's going to
involve
the soprano characters my character
wasn't even born in the late 60s the
plot will primarily concern the racial
tensions between
african americans and italian americans
in the midst of the 1967 newark race
riots
which resulted in 26 deaths and over 700
injuries
it's co-written by david chase and
directed by longtime sopranos
collaborator alan taylor
and will feature an amazing cast
including leslie odom jr
john bernthal vira farmiga and james
gandolfini's son michael as young tony
oh wow i got one for christina too
where's the dvd number seven space jam
a new legacy were people asking for
another space jam
no not really but we're glad we're
getting one no i'm gonna retire right
now and that's all there is to it
i'm gonna go out on top undefeated and
untied serving as a reboot of the iconic
1996 original
a new legacy will see lebron james
replacing michael jordan in the starring
role
oh look is that michael michael
jordan the movie actually has some solid
names behind it
being co-written by ryan coogler and
seville hanian both of whom worked on
the oscar grant drama fruitvale station
the police baby get back on the train
right now get right in here meet me in
the hayward
hey it's the boys dip up it also helps
that james is a naturally gifted actor
as he proved with his hilarious
performance in train wreck
are you trying to split the bill look
look look i told you those refills
weren't free no no no we're not
splitting the bill pick up the check why
do i have to pick up the check
lebron james like the original a new
legacy will combine live-action actors
with hand-drawn looney tunes characters
and will serve as the first theatrically
released looney tunes movie in 18 years
number six the conjuring the devil made
me do it
this entry in the conjuring series
reunites patrick wilson and vera farmiga
as the warrens
but the devil made me do it will not be
a traditional haunted house story in the
vein of the first two i gotta tell you
you
have a lot of spirits in here but this
is the one that i'm most worried about
because it is
so hateful it will also not be directed
by james wan
with the curse of la llorona's michael
chavez filling in the director's chairs
the story revolves around the trial of
arnie cheyenne johnson
more ominously known as the devil made
me do it case
this was the first court case in
american history in which the defense
claimed innocence based on demonic
possession
as johnson was allegedly possessed when
he murdered his landlord
[Applause]
the judge wasn't having it and johnson
was sentenced to 10 to 20 years
on first degree manslaughter number five
mortal kombat
i am lou kang descendant of kung lao
i challenge you to kombat the first
mortal combat certainly had its
pleasures
but mortal kombat annihilation was more
of a disaster that essentially
annihilated the movie franchise for two
[Music]
decades
work on a reboot finally began in
earnest in the mid 2010s
with james wan signing on as producer
the upcoming movie will star all the
beloved characters from the game and
original movie
and it's being co-written by david
callahan of wonder woman 1984
and zombieland doubletap fame you
possess the knowledge
all that disliking now is the will
perhaps the best thing about it is that
it will be rated r
due to the inclusion of the game's
famous fatalities a glaring and
disappointing omission from the
otherwise decent original movie
number four the suicide squad not to be
confused with suicide squad
the suicide squad is serving as a soft
reboot
and is both written and directed by
james gunn who was hired by warner
brothers after he was fired from disney
this is a
gritty 1970s war movie combined
with brilliance of james gunn's
characters and comedy the movie will
carry over a few actors from the
original
including margot robbie as harley quinn
joel kinnaman as rick flagg
and jai courtney is captain boomerang
this promises to be a lighter iteration
complete with a pulpy story about nazi
experiments and
inspiration taken from the 80s comics be
like a douchey
captain america the guy who believes in
peace
at any cost no matter how many people he
needs to
kill along the way this film may present
the mcu
some more intense competition which is a
bit ironic considering the involvement
of gun
this has been truly the greatest
most exciting journey of my life making
this film
number three dune this is definitely one
of 2021's most anticipated movies
do you often dream things that happen
just as you dream them
yes there's the stellar source material
of course
as frank herbert's 1965 novel is
considered one of the finest science
fiction novels ever written
a lot of money and talent has also been
put behind the movie
including esteemed director denis vilnev
and the likes of timothy chalamet
rebecca ferguson oscar isaac josh brolin
and zendaya this is an extermination
[Applause]
they're picking my family off one by one
and while the movie will only cover the
first half of the book
director of photography greg fraser told
collider that it will work as a
standalone story
with a 165 million dollar budget
fantastic source material and some of
the biggest names in hollywood behind it
dune promises to be a true epic
number two the matrix iv nearly 20 years
after the matrix revolutions closed out
the trilogy in somewhat disappointing
fashion
lana wachowski is returning to direct a
fourth entry in the iconic sci-fi series
you take the blue pill the story ends
you wake up in your bed and believe
whatever you want to believe
you take the red pill you stay in
wonderland
and i show you how deep the rabbit hole
goes while little is known about the
plot
the movie will see the return of keanu
reeves as neo carrie anne moss as
trinity and
jada pinkett smith as niobe it will also
see the return of minor characters like
agent johnson and the merovingian a
character introduced in the matrix
reloaded
this isn't over oh yes it is so key
maker is mine and
i see no reason why i should give him up
filming took place throughout 2020 with

number one godzilla vs kong this
upcoming major movie
is the prime example of just how
revolutionary this hbo max streaming
decision truly is
godzilla vs kong is the prototypical
theater movie
with a 165 million dollar budget the
culmination of an entire monster verse
and a showdown between two cinematic
icons
years in the making i want him dead more
than anybody but unless this is a fight
that you know that you can win for god's
sake stand down and
we'll be able to watch it at home upon
release godzilla vs kong is a sequel to
both godzilla king of the monsters
and kong skull island and we'll pit the
titular monsters against each other in a
modern
cinematic event for the ages
its fate will be a true marker of just
how viable the simultaneous release
strategy is
and if it's successful it may alter the
movie business forever
long live the king
