Upcoming Interesting Original Movies
No particular order. Movies that are either original, based off of a true story, or based off a novel. No comic book movies, prequels, sequels, remakes or reboots. I'm excited for these movies based off the talent attached either in front of or behind the camera, the story, or the unique synopsis.
