Looking at the list here:

https://www.movieinsider.com/movies/2025?view=grid

I still haven't seen Nosferatu, I still want to sit down and re-watch a good version of the original first. Probably won't happen until it's all on home video.

I didn't know Star Trek: Section 31 was a MOVIE, I thought it was a streaming show... But I'll watch Michelle Yeoh do anything.

Becoming Led Zeppelin in IMAX should be fascinating.

Captain America: Brave New World - What can I say? I'm a giant comic book nerd.

One Night in Tokyo looks promising, but I get the feeling this is just "Lost in Translation" again.

The Gorge sounds fun, but only Apple TV+

Cleaner - ? Man, I haven't seen Clive Owen in AGES!

Old Guy - Looks like RED only with Christoph Waltz

That's pretty much it through February...

In the Lost Lands - Not interested, but the description sounds legitimately INSANE.

"A queen hires a sorceress for werewolf powers but pays a price. Warrior Sharra fights a dragon to find her lover, seduced by a lord who's the real gatekeeper. A barbarian girl falls for a deceitful witch's promises in a spacecraft."

WTF did I just read?

"Who's Involved:

Paul W.S. Anderson, Dave Bautista, Milla Jovovich, Amara Okereke, Arly Jover, Deirdre Mullins, Simon Lööf, Fraser James"

If you have never seen any version of Nosferatu, I recommend just watching the newest one. I watched the black and white one the day before going to the new one and found myself bored for most of the movie as it basically follows the original, which already isn’t that interesting of a story (IMO of course.

It's a streaming movie, I suspect they downgraded it from a series at some point.

Well I'm sold.

Although I can't match that description to the trailer, IMDb has something similar:

A queen, desperate to find happiness in love, takes a daring step: she sends the powerful and feared witch Gray Alys (Milla Jovovich) to the "Lost Lands" to give her the magical gift of turning into a werewolf. With the mysterious hunter Boyce (Dave Bautista), who supports her in the fight against dark creatures and merciless enemies, Gray Alys roams an eerie and dangerous world. And only she knows that every wish she grants has unimaginable consequences...

So it might be a garbled version of the plot or it gets a lot wilder and weirder.

I watched the trailer and I still have no idea what's going on...

George R.R. Martin is somehow involved? Is this why we don't have the next book yet?

It's based on a 40 year short story (possibly three) of his and production has been ongoing since 2015. His involvement seems to have been minimal for decades. So we can't really blame his lateness on the film.
