50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2018 - Ranked

5. First Man

2018 In Film
Summit

There are a couple of extremely big reasons to be excited about First Man. Firstly, it's the story of NASA's first successful mission to get a man on the moon - based on Hames Hansen's book - and secondly, and most excitingly, it's the latest film by La La Land director Damien Chazelle.

Putting aside the fact that he was robbed of Best Picture last year, this looks like another sure-fire Awards contender, particularly as he's reunited with Ryan Gosling (who has now been a talisman for both Chazelle and Nicolas Winding Refn).

It's a step away from Chazelle's musical themes, but with Spotlight's Josh Singer writing and the director's eye for character-led drama, it should be a delight.

Release Date: October 12th
