13 Kick-Ass Upcoming Movies Nobody Is Talking About

10. Ad Astra

Having made one of the most legitimately under-rated movies of the past few years in The Lost City of Z, director James Gray now turns his attention to sci-fi with Ad Astra, which is already being talked about as an Oscar contender.

In the grand tradition of lost in space sci-fis, Pitt plays an astronaut seeking his lost father whose mission to Neptune failed and saw his disappearance. We're essentially looking at a Heart Of Darkness/Apocalypse Now sort of take on the story and that's the kind of message that should get everyone excited.

If Gray can channel half of what he put into The Lost City of Z, we're looking at an absolute winner, even if the release date might turn SOME people off. But remember, January isn't always a graveyard these days.

Release: January 11, 2019
