A Reel Preview - The Year in Film 2022: Episode III





The one and only box office story for the month of March will be the return of The Bat. With little to no competition after the first weekend of the month, expectations for big dollars are high, and there is little room for excuses. With that, here are the notable releases for the month of March…The Bat and not much else. 

 

 

 

THE BATMAN – DC Comics returns to the big screen with their third version of the caped crusader since 2005. Robert Pattinson (TWILIGHT, THE LIGHTHOUSE), dons the cape and cowl of Bruce Wayne, and Zoe Kravitz stars as Catwoman. The rest of the cast includes Colin Farrell as Penguin, Paul Dano as Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, and John Turturro as mob boss Carmine Falcone. It is directed by Matt Reeves, who brought us the last two PLANET OF THE APES films. 

 

 

AFTER YANG – Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith star in this sci-fi drama where robotic children are purchased as live-in babysitters. 

 

 

GREAT FREEDOM – This Austrian film won a Jury Prize at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. Set in post WWII Germany, it centers around a man who is imprisoned for being gay, and develops a relationship with his cellmate. 

 

 

GOLD – Zac Efron stars in this dystopian-future thriller about a man who discovers gold in the desert. 

 

 

UMMA – Sandra Oh stars in this horror film where a woman discovers that her mother’s ashes contains a vicious spirit. 

 

 

THE LOST CITY – Sandra Bollock plays a romance novelist who is kidnapped by an eccentric billionaire, played by Daniel Radcliffe, who wants her to take him to a lost city filled with treasure. Channing Tatum co-stars.
