Neil Blomkamp, one of my favorite modern directors is back with what looks to be another Sci Fi classic which looks like a dramatic homage to Short Circuit. Sharlto Copley voices the titular robot and it looks like he is becoming a Blomkamp regular. What Blomkamp will try to say in this film, I'm not sure, but I hope it will live up to my high expectations.
2. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)

A new Disaster Picture I have not heard anything about lately, but the premise is just great and hopefully it will not be another one of those human conflict over disaster conflict films.
4. Everest (2015)

One of the big disaster pictures of next year also happens to be a true story! Making a movie about the Mount Everest Disaster just binds me to it already and cannot wait how it turns out.

DUH! The new Marvel Film is on my list because... well, LOOK AT THE TRALIER! The Tralier looks really awesome and hopefully will not end up like other Marvel Duds. The promo art also looks great! See you in May Marvel!
6. The Peanuts Movie (2015)

I grew up with the Peanuts comics, The specials, the music of Vince Guardali and the movies so it is best to put this on my list because I LOVE PEANUTS! They are my favorite comics to read and I am so glad they made a new movie. Its been a very long time since we seen anything Peanuts. But hopefully this will bring back the dead and start making new specials again! Even the animation looks appealing.
7. Minions (2015)

Illumination's Movies have some of the best 3D there is today. 2013's Despicable Me 2 is one of the great 3D movies In my opinion and this spin off is sure to have some great 3D also!
8. Ant-Man (2015)
PG-13 | 117 min | Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi
Armed with a super-suit with the astonishing ability to shrink in scale but increase in strength, cat burglar Scott Lang must embrace his inner hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, pull off a plan that will save the world.

I had no clue what Ant-Man was about. But Apparently, its a guy who can become small and super strong! That is pretty cool. So this gives me plenty of reasons to anticipate the film.
9. The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015)
PG-13 | 119 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
Beatrice Prior must confront her inner demons and continue her fight against a powerful alliance which threatens to tear her society apart with the help from others on her side.
Director: Robert Schwentke | Stars: Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Theo James, Kate Winslet
Votes: 255,061 | Gross: $130.18M
Divergent was actually a great surprise for me in 2014. I think this is by far my favorite series of Young Adult Adaptations. Even though the teaser trailer is weird, I cannot wait to see the continuing adventures of Tris and Four.
10. The Walk (II) (2015)
PG | 123 min | Adventure, Biography, Drama
In 1974, high-wire artist Philippe Petit recruits a team of people to help him realize his dream: to walk the immense void between the World Trade Center towers.

Votes: 135,494 | Gross: $10.14M
Years ago, A Documentary called Man on Wire won Best Documentary at the Oscars. It was the true story of a man who walked a rope from One Twin Tower to the next. Robert Zemeckis directs this feature film version of the story with Joseph Gordon Levitt as Philippe Petite in his Dangerous but Intriguing stunt. This is a great source for making a film about it and that is one of the reasons I am excited.
