It’s shaping up to be a pretty good summer in regards to some blockbuster cinema releases to look forward to. From animation, to comic book inspired, to sequels and prequels – there will definitely be something for everyone.
Lone Ranger (Gore Verbinski)
From the director of the Pirates of the Caribbean series Gore Verbinski, comes about his next feature (excluding Rango) including his seemingly favourite actor of the moment, Johnny Depp. Depp plays Native American warrior named Tonto, in this current remake of the original radio series from the 1930s and 1950s TV. The general premise of the film is the journey of The Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer) and Tonto as they fight injustice across America. Helena Bonham Carter and Barry Pepper also feature.

Monsters University 3D (Dan Scanlan)
Monsters University, the anticipated prequel to Monsters Inc. is finally only weeks away, directed by Dan Scanlan. Following the success of the previous Disney Pixar animation which showcased the working relationship between much loved characters Mike and Sulley; with Monsters University we get to see right from the start when they both met. With a tempestuous beginning, we see how their friendship started and developed over the years.
Release date: 8th June 2013
Kick Ass 2 (Jeff Wadlow)
Following the acclaimed success of Kick Ass (directed by Matthew Vaughn) which threw Chloe Moretz into the Hollywood limelight, the amateur superheroes are back in Kick Ass 2. This time with a new writer and director, Jeff Wadlow, we see Hit-Girl and Kick Ass joined by a group of inspired citizens who are also determined to fight crime – more specifically, against group Red Mist. Expect to see more critically acclaimed performances by Aaron Taylor- Johnson and Jim Carey.
Release date: 16th August 2013
Pacific Rim (Guillermo del Toro)
What’s that? An alien attack which is to threaten life on Earth as we know it? Sounds like the job for giant robots controlled by human pilots to fight off the enemies and save the world. This is the general idea of Pacific Rim, which is Guillermo del Toro’s latest release. Pacific Rim sounds like a far cry away from past films he has written, which include The Hobbit, Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth. Actors include Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba and Ron Perlman (who also features in Hellboy).
Release date: 12th July 2013
The Hunger Games 2
Another sequel to hit our screens this summer, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Hollywood darling Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Banks. We join Katniss (Lawrence) as she journeys home after winning her 74th Annual Hunger Games. She then carries out a victory tour of places nearby whilst the build up for the 75th games approaches – although a rebellion is not far away.
Release date: 22nd November 2013
