The Summer Movie Season for 2024 will be a light one, as we will be seeing the direct results of last year’s strikes. But June has a lot to offer; some long-awaited (and dreaded) sequels, the return of an American icon, and some horror. Here’s what’s coming to the big screen this month:
BAD BOYS 4: RIDE OR DIE – Will Smith and Martin Lawrence return in their buddy-cop roles for the fourth time, this time going outside the law to clear their names. Vanessa Hudgens co-stars, and it is helmed by the directing duo of Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah.
THE WATCHERS – Ishana Night Shyamalan (daughter of M. Night), directs her first feature film in this horror flick where Dakota Fanning plays an artist stranded in an untouched forest in Ireland.
INSIDE OUT 2 – The sequel to Pixar’s heralded INSIDE OUT from 2015. This time, our familiar emotions of Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust have to welcome new emotions into the inner-workings of young Riley…including Anxiety (voiced by Maya Hawke).
THE BIKERIDERS – Most-excellent director Mike Nichols (MUD, TAKE SHELTER), returns to the big screen with this drama about a biker gang. The cast includes Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Michael Shannon, Norman Reedus, and Jodie Comer.
THE EXORCISM –Russell Crowe plays a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a horror film. Sam Worthington co-stars.
HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA – Kevin Costner directs and stars in this first part of a planned four-part Western saga set during the American Civil War during the expansion of the West. The cast includes Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi, Danny Huston, Michael Rooker, Jena Malone, Luke Wilson, and Thomas Haden Church.
A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE – The action-horror series A QUIET PLACE gets the prequel treatment, with this film taking place during the initial alien invasion. Lupita Nyong’o and Joseph Quinn (TV’S STRANGER THINGS), stars.
