Exit Summer, enter Fall. With the Summer Movie Season now in the books for 2019, it’s time to look ahead to September, where the fun and flash of the warmer months are replaced by the seriousness and grit of the cooler days. Here are the notable releases for the upcoming month:
It all starts to float with…
IT: CHAPTER TWO – The much anticipated horror sequel to the 2017 hit. This time, the kids from the first film return home 27 years after their apparent defeat of the terrifying clown Pennywise…only to find him back and meaner than ever. Bill Skarsgard returns as Pennywise, and he is joined by James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, and Andy Bean.
HUSTLERS – In this crime comedy, Jennifer Lopez leads a group of her fellow strippers in a scheme to hustle dozens of wealthy men. Constance Wu, Julia Stiles, Keke Palmer, Cardi B., Lili Reinhart, and Lizzo co-star.
FREAKS – A paranoid father keeps his seven-year-old daughter locked up in their dilapidated house, in fear of possible dangers outside. It stars Emile Hirsch, Bruce Dern, and Lexy Kolker.
THE SOUND OF SILENCE – Peter Sarsgaard plays a “house tuner”, who works on the sonic environment of homes, who encounters a problem he can’t solve. Rashida Jones co-stars.
3 FROM HELL – Rob Zombie returns to cinema with this sequel to his 2005 horror-shocker, THE DEVILS REJECTS. The roles of the rejects are reprised by Sheri Moon Zombie, Sid Haig, and Bill Moseley.
RAMBO: LAST BLOOD – Sylvester Stallone reprises his now-decades old character of John Rambo, the killing-machine Vietnam Vet. This time Rambo travels to Mexico to save his niece from the cartel.
AD ASTRA – Brad Pitt plays an astronaut who journeys into space in search of his lost father, whose experiment is threatening the solar system. Tommy Lee Jones, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler, and Donald Sutherland co-star. It is directed by James Gray (THE IMMIGRANT, THE LOST CITY OF Z).
DOWNTON ABBEY – A continuation (and perhaps grand finale), to the beloved television series. This time, the Crawley family and their staff prepare for a royal visit; from King George V and Queen Mary.
RUNNING WITH THE DEVIL – Nic Cage plays a federal agent tracking down cocaine dealers. He is joined by Laurence Fishburne and Barry Pepper.
ABOMINABLE – This animated family film offers a break from the seriousness of the month, and has a teenage girl encountering a young Yeti and befriending him.
JUDY – Oscar winner Renee Zellweger (COLD MOUNTAIN), plays famed singer and actress Judy Garland in this biopic.
