10 Completely Original Movies To Look Out For In 2019
1. Us
Release Date: 15 March 2019
The success of writer-director Jordan Peele's Get Out was one of 2017's most surprising stories: an Oscar win and over $250 million worldwide were two results nobody expected of a small thriller movie from one half of Key and Peele.
His follow-up project instantly became one of the most anticipated releases on the movie calendar, and earlier this year, we finally learned some concrete details about it.
Us will release in the first half of 2019, and has been described as a "social-horror thriller" and a "thought-provoking popcorn movie", a film that - like Get Out before it - will deconstruct stereotypes and poke fun at odd social practices, all in a digestible, witty and hugely entertaining fashion. The nitty-gritty details of the plot are being kept under wraps for the time being, but with Peele's track record (and a cast including Lupita Nyong'o and Winston Duke) there's already enough reason to be excited.
It seems odd to position a potential Oscar contender right after awards season ends, but regardless, Us will surely leave a strong impression that flows well into 2019, and beyond.
