30 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2017 - Ranked

10. Molly's Game

Mollys Game
STX Entertainment

Release Date: November 22nd

Billed As:

Aaron Sorkin's directorial debut. If that doesn't get you excited, there's nothing that can be done for you.

Hype:

Any script that carries the Aaron Sorkin stamp is already right up there with the most exciting prospects, and the fact that Molly's Game represents an opportunity to see him stretch his creative wings even further is a remarkably intriguing prospect.

Writers transitioning to directing gigs haven't all been successful, but if the result here is an even more Sorkin-like Sorkin, then it's something to be very excited about. Here, he turns his hand to a crime drama story - starring Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba and Kevin Costner among others - following the FBI investigation into the head of an underground poker empire. And we all know how well poker translates to movies, for some reason.
