30 Biggest Movies Of 2015 We Can't Wait For

29. Jupiter Ascending (Feb 6)

The Wachowskis continue to be some of the most singular filmmakers in Hollywood, and considering the financial disappointment of both Speed Racer and Cloud Atlas, it's incredible that they managed to get a project as wildly ambitious as Jupiter Ascending bankrolled in the first place. The premise revolves around Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), a toilet cleaner who meets Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), a "genetically engineered interplanetary warrior", who reveals to Jupiter that, due to her genetic coding, she is in fact the heir to Earth. Caine's goal is to protect her from the evil Balem Abrasax (Eddie Redmayne), who wishes to take Earth for himself. The plot sounds absolutely bonkers, and though it could very well be a disaster just waiting to happen, the stunning visuals certainly make for a good trailer. The movie was originally slated for a July 18th release this year, but due to 2,000 incomplete visual effects shots, it was shockingly delayed a whole 7 months a few short weeks ago, causing many to suggest that the movie may not be test-screening well (considering the lateness of the delay). One thing's for sure, it would be a major shock if this $150 million movie made much money. Though there's a good chance it could be incomprehensible nonsense, we can't wait to see it. Predicted Rotten Tomatoes Score: 17%

28. Fast & Furious 7 (Apr 10)

Another heavily delayed movie is Fast and Furious 7, which was originally due to hit cinemas in just a few short weeks, but due to Paul Walker's untimely, tragic death, it has been delayed until next April. With Walker's Brian O'Conner being given a heartfelt send-off with the help of his two brothers and some state-of-the-art CGI trickery, it's surely going to be one of the most emotional blockbusters of 2015, though it remains to be seen how significantly Walker's death will have affected the film's story. Joining the cast are Jason Statham (as the movie's villain), Kurt Russell, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Djimon Hounsou, while Lucas Black returns after his starring stint in Tokyo Drift. Another wild card is franchise mainstay Justin Lin not returning to direct the film (originally because of the absurdly accelerated shooting schedule), with horror director James Wan instead taking the reins, despite his limited experience with directing action. Two things are clear, however: the movie is going to make a ton of money, and considering the obviously difficult nature of finishing the movie, audiences are probably going to be fairly forgiving if the final product is a little rough around the edges. Predicted Rotten Tomatoes Score: 54%
