The Summer Movie Season may be over, but things won’t be cooling down in theatres, as September is packed with sequels and horror films. Here’s what’s coming to the big screen for the ninth month of the year.
THE EQUALIZER 3 – Denzel Washington returns for the third and perhaps final time as retired CIA operative Robert McCall, who this time moves to Italy to hide from his past…only to face off against the Sicilian Mafia. Dakota Fanning co-stars, and it is directed by Antoine Fuqua, who helmed the first two films.
ALL FUN AND GAMES – In this horror film, teenagers in Salem find a cursed knife which forces them to play a series of deadly games. Asa Butterfield (HUGO), and Natalia Dyer (TV’s STRANGER THINGS), lead the cast.
MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 3 – The third film in the GREEK WEDDING cinematic universe, which this time sees the Portokalos family travel to Greece for a family reunion. Nia Vardalos reprises her role as Fotoula, and she also writes and directs.
THE NUN II – The second film in THE NUN franchise, which is also the ninth film in THE CONJURING franchise (everybody got that?). Set four years after the events of THE NUN, Sister Irene once again comes face to face with the demon.
A HAUNTING IN VENICE – Kenneth Branagh reprises his role as famous detective Hercule Poirot in this spooky whodunit. Tina Fey and Michelle Yeoh co-star.
THE INVENTOR – This is a stop-motion animated film about the life of Leonardo DaVinci. The voice-cast includes Stephen Fry, Marion Cotillard, and Daisy Ridley.
THE EXPEND4BLES – The fourth film in the stinking, rotting, shitting EXPENDABLES franchise. Sylvester Stallone returns to fight off bad guys looking to start a nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia. The cast includes Jason Statham, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Megan Fox, Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, and Randy Couture.
DUMB MONEY – Craig Gillespie (I, TONYA), directs this biographical comedy-drama about the GameStop short-squeeze of 2021 that shook Wall Street. The cast includes Paul Dano, Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Seth Rogen, and Dane DeHaan.
THE CREATOR – Gareth Edwards, the director of STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE, brings us this original sci-fi flick about a future war with humankind and artificial intelligence. The cast includes John David Washington (son of Denzel), Gemma Chan, and Ken Watanabe.
SAW X – The tenth film in the SAW horror franchise. This film serves as a direct sequel to the original film and takes place before SAW II. The cast includes Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith. It is directed by Kevin Greutert, who helmed SAW VI (2009), and SAW 3D (2010).
