Upcoming Movies in 2013

This Year In Movies - The 2013 movie release schedule is beginning to come together. 

Nonetheless, a consistent slate of sequels and films based on established properties are looking to dominate cinemas again. In early March, Disney will hope to relive Alice in Wonderland-like box office glory with Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful (based on the Wizard character from Wizard of Oz and starring James Franco).

With the talents of Christopher Nolan as a producer, Warner Bros. Pictures will try to reboot the famed Superman franchise for worldwide audiences again. Similarly, Lionsgate and High School Musical helmer Kenny Ortega will remake the classic 1987 romantic film, Dirty Dancing (after the studio’s lackluster attempt in 2004’s Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights).

A much anticipated prequel to 2001’s Monsters Inc., Monster’s University, will reunite the voice talents of John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Mary Gibbs. Similarly, Robert Downey, Jr. will reprise his role as billionaire Tony Stark and a technologically advanced superhero in Iron Man 3, which will lead off the 2013 summer season in early May. A second installment of the mythology-laced Thor, a Johnny Depp-led remake of The Lone Ranger, the second installment in The Hunger Games franchise, and the 12th feature-length Star Trek movie, will likely be huge box office hits too. Other sequels will include The Smurfs 2, a sequel to the comedy-actioner hit RED, family-friendly Despicable Me 2, and a sixth installment in the revved-up Fast and the Furious franchise. The second part of The Hobbit will open in December 2013.
