Premise of THE FOLLOWING

THE FBI estimates there are currently up to 300 active serial killers in the United States. What would happen if these killers had a way of communicating and connecting with each other? What if they were able to work together and form alliances as they left a trail of blood across the country? What if one brilliant and charismatic, yet psychotic serial killer was able to bring them all together and activate a cult of believers following his every command?

The mission takes Frank and his motley crew to Paris, London and Moscow. Outgunned and outmanned, they have only their cunning wits, their old-school skills, and each other to rely on as they try to save the world-and stay alive in the process.

The Purge

Movie synopsis

If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do? In The Purge, a speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home. In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity-including murder-becomes legal. The police can’t be called. Hospitals suspend help. It’s one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment.

On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. When an intruder breaks into James Sandin’s (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide. Directed by James DeMonaco (writer of Assault on Precinct 13 and The Negotiator).

The Fly (1986)

With movies like Scanners, Videodrome, and eXistenZ, Cronenberg proved himself the master of body horror and conspiracy-minded science fiction. But in The Fly, he also told a human story about a scientist whose body is accidentally reprogrammed by the teleportation machine he’s invented. With fantastic acting from Jeff Goldblum as the scientist, and Geena Davis as the science journalist who loves him, this story transcends scifi horror to become an ugly, weird commentary on science run amok, erasing all boundaries between living things.

All You Need Is Kill

Release Date: March 7, 2014

What is it: Less than a year after Oblivion will succeed or fail, another Tom Cruise-starring sci-fi film will hit theaters, although this one sounds different in just about every way possible. Think of it as Groundhog Day meets Robert Heinlein: in a future war, a soldier dies in battle but finds himself caught in a time loop, forced to reliving his dying minutes over and over again, surviving longer and becoming a better warrior every time.

Oblivion

Release Date: April 19, 2013

What is it: That’s an excellent question. For a big-budget sci-fi action movie due to arrive in theaters in about five months, we know surprisingly little about Oblivion. We know that Tom Cruise stars as a soldier sent to help wipe out an alien race on a distant planet, but has second thoughts (shades of Avatar). We also know that he’ll be joined by Morgan Freeman and Nikolaj “Jaime Lannister” Coster-Waldau. With director Joseph Kosinski.

Moon (2009)

This moving, intense character study of a man living alone on a lunar outpost is a melancholy meditation on loneliness that slowly turns into a story of betrayal and corporate cruelty. Directed by Duncan Jones, and starring Sam Rockwell, Moon is intelligently written and unforgettable. Even the robot character, voiced by Kevin Spacey, exudes a quiet compassion that permeates the rest of this film about hope in the face of loss.

Star Trek Sequel synopsis

 

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

- - - -

It also in a way hints that the villain in the sequel is Gary Mitchell, as previously revealed by Karl Urban. The phrase, “A personal score to settle” and a “a one man weapon of mass destruction” are a couple little tip offs.

In the original series Mitchell is a friend of Captain Kirk, and a Starfleet officer on the U.S.S. Enterprise. He ends up with powerful telekinetic powers, and turns against Kirk and his crew.

Premiere scheduled for May 17th, 2013. The movie stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Weller and Alice Eve.
