Films & TV to look forward to in 2024

[JaySevenZero]

I figured I'd start a thread for the various trailers etc. for the things we're looking forward to watching in 2024 be they film or TV series. There's a game version of this thread in the videogame discussion thread.

The things posted aren't in any particular order, such as their release or personal preference etc.



Although the first season of Halo had its flaws, there was enough there to guarantee I'm there for the second when it arrives in Feb. especially since it appears to deal with the fall of Reach and the arrival, finally, of the series' namesake.



To date and although I'm familiar with them, I've never yet played an actual Fallout game. However, this series, created by WestWorld's Jonathan Nolan, certainly appears to capture a vibe and the darkly humourous trailer has definitely piqued my interest.

Season 2 of The Sandman from Netflix should be coming next year, too. I need to finish season 1 still, but it'll be great to see them take on the next story arc, A Game Of You (which was the first and still one of my favourite Sandman stories I read).

There's Dune 2 I'm looking forward to, Ferrari, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 2, the New Joker, 2 Win and if it's out next year, the Brad Pitt F1 film.

[JaySevenZero]

Yeah, I'm also looking forward to Dune Part 2 and Furiosa and although much later in the year, there's also Arcane season 2 on Netflix, something I might very binge in a day if it's anything close to as good as season 1.

Based on the James Clevell novel of the same name and based on the same historical person that the Nioh games used for their premise, you can bet I'll be checking this out. Luckily for us in the UK it's coming to Disney +.

Oh wow, cool! I remember trying to read this book as a kid but not really getting too far. He also wrote Tai-Pan, which one of my all time favourite home computer games was based on.

I'm looking forward to "Delicious in Dungeon" (ダンジョン飯), coming to Netflix in January 2024

[LaikaMuttnik]

Also looking forward to Season 4 of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" (鬼滅の刃).
Not yet sure when in 2024 it's streamed worldwide, but hope it doesn't take too long after it’s aired in Japan in spring

I'm a big admirer of Alex Garland's work from his novels to his his film and TV work (Dredd, Ex Machina, Men and Devs), needless to say I'll be checking this film out next year.

I didn't know he wrote novels, any you would recommend?

He wrote The Beach!

[Alex79]

The Beach is secretly my favourite book. Of course when people ask, I choose something much more highbrow.

As mentioned above The Beach and also The Tesseract but don't let the disappointing movie adaptations of either of these novels put you off.

This is my most anticipated series to watch next year, Park Chan-Wook is always fantastic and the book it's based on seems pretty interesting. I've been looking foward to it for a while and I think it's gonna deliver.

I'll be checking this out too, looks like Downey's getting to flex his skills a bit after leaving the MCU, with the likes of this and Oppenheimer
