Yang got to film his debut in Taiwan… respect the Netflix touch with these types of productions.
Release Date: Fall 2020
Director: Alan Yang
Why we’re dying to see it? Yang is one half the creative force behind Master of None. Telling a generational family tale of life and sacrifice for a new beginning has us supremely interested in this Drama. Yang has cast John Cho (if you haven’t seen Columbus, stop what you’re doing and seek it out) and the amazing Tzi Ma (recently a comedic assassin in The Farewell) as the lead character. Netflix giving Yang the freedom to make a drama rather than forcing him into the comedic pigeonhole that many other studios would have done is one of the many reasons we want to see this.
Mank
There could literally be no trailer and we’d still go see it opening day.
Release Date: December 2020
Director: David Fincher
Why we’re dying to see it? It’s David Fincher. After a 6-year hiatus from Film Fincher is back with a biopic about the man who wrote Citizen Kane. Knowing Fincher’s propensity for bending genres to his will, Mank has us positively giddy. This is also a passion project for Fincher as his father Jack Fincher wrote the script. Netflix gambling big again on a project no other studio would come near (I remember back in the day when Ridley Scott tried to get RKO281 made in Black & White with Ed Norton as Orson Welles… imagine if Netflix was around then?) Did we mention its being shot in Black & White! Need we say more?
West Side Story
Spielberg doing a musical? Yeah, we’re in.
Release Date: December 18, 2020
Director: Steven Spielberg
Why we’re dying to see it? This one is special. Very special. Spielberg has never directed a musical. If that wasn’t enough of a dare, he’s added a Sondheim Musical and one that’s possibly the most beloved Musicals of the last 60 years.
