Upcoming Movies 2013: Star Trek into Darkness, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Sea of Monsters , Fast and Furious 6
Star Trek into Darkness
Release date: May 17, 2013
This new installment is directed by J.J. Abrams. He is better known for his work in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Super 8 and Cloverfield. He is also involved with TV series such as Person of Interest, Alcatraz , Lost and Revolution.
The extended trailer for this film would be shown in IMAX during the showing of The Hobbit: An Unexpected journey. It is still unknown what the story is but knowing J.J. Abrams previous work, this is definitely a movie to watch out for.
Chris Pine (Captain James T. Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), Karl Urban (Dr. Leonard “Bones” Mccoy), Zoel Saldana (Nyota Uhura) and John Cho (Hikaru Sulu) will reprise their role in this coming movie.
Since I have only watched Star Trek Nemesis and Star Trek (the 2009 reboot), I am started to get hooked with this franchise. I’ll be watching the rest but I am glad they started the reboot.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Sea of Monsters
Release date: August 16, 2013
This is the second movie based on the novel written by Rick Riordan’s pentalogy Percy Jackson and the Olympians and is set to release on August 16, 2013.
Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon and a mortal named Sally Jackson. At the beginning of the story, Percy has not met his estranged father and does not know that he is a demigod. As the story progress, he will meet other demigods and other mystical creatures including Satyr name Grover who is not only his best friend but is also a protector. Protectors are bodyguards and guide for new Demigods who are newly discovered. They are tasked to lead newly discovered demigods to Camp Half-blood for their training.
In this book, Percy will meet his half-brother Tyson. He is the son of Poseidon and a nature spirit. They would have to retrieve the Golden Fleece to cure the poisoned Thalia’s Pine Tree. The Tree provides magically defense against monsters and Human.
They also have to search for their friend Grover Underwood has gone missing while currently on Quest. It is later revealed that he is also in the Sea of monster where the Golden Fleece is also located. They will also meet their former ally, Luke who is trying to revive Kronos, a powerful Titan and the father of Zeus, Poseidon and Hades.
Fast and Furious 6
Release date: May 24, 2013.
This is sixth installment of Fast and Furious film series. Almost all of the cast from Fast five will reprise their role including Vin Diesel (Dominic Toretto), Paul Walker (Brian O’Conner), Jordana Brewster (Mia Toretto), Dwayne Johnson (Luke Hobbs), Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce), Chris “Ludacris” Bridges (Tej Parker), Sung Kang (Han Seoul-Oh), and Gal Gador (Gisele Yashar)
Only the last film, Monica Fuentes (Eva Mendes) showed Luke Hobbs photos of Toretto’s ex-girlfriend Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez). Letty was presumed dead but has not resurfaced. The story would definitely involve Dominic and Letty meeting in this film.
I almost gave up on watching the fast and furious series. It seems like seeing 2 films from the series is enough. But Fast Five has gone beyond the simple Car racing plot. It has more to it now. The story is now more about how Dominic and his friends evade capture from the authorities. In the previous films, they seem untouchable and it capturing them seems like an impossible task. But I still enjoy watching the car chase.
For those who enjoyed watching Fast Five, this is a movie to see.
