14 Original Upcoming Movies That Might Save Hollywood

13. Mute

What It's About: 40 years into the future, mute bartender Leo Beiler (Alexander Skarsgard) is in Berlin searching for his missing girlfriend, and knows only that two American surgeons (Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux) hold the key to locating her.

Why It Might Save Hollywood: Mute has been Duncan Jones' passion project for years, but it wasn't until Netflix stepped in that he was finally able to get it made.

Though Jones made a sure misstep with last year's Warcraft, it'll riveting to see him back in his element, operating at a lower budget as with Moon and Source Code, and with Netflix having a hands-off approach to the films they distribute, it's safe to say that Jones has been left to make exactly the film he wanted to.

And of course, the fact that viewers can see it day-and-date on Netflix without moving from their bed is definitely indicative of a seismic change in the nature of the film distribution. Hopefully it'll be great to boot.
