If we know Netflix primarily for its series, the platform is gradually trying to offer us films of cinematic quality. The Power of the Dog, Annihilation, Roma, Okja, Klaus… The examples are numerous and you can imagine that the platform won’t stop there. Here are 10 Netflix movies coming in 2023 for our viewing pleasure.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley
Le Flic de Beverly Hills, you do not know? This franchise began in 1984 with Alex Foley, a flippant and rebellious police officer played by Eddie Murphy. Through three films and investigations, each crazier than the last, this character has become an icon. But unfortunately we didn’t have a chance to find him afterwards Le Flic de Beverly Hills 3 in 1994. However, a fourth work was under discussion, but the project was nipped in the bud. In the 2000s, this idea came up many times. But until the project is really realized, it will have to wait until 2022. After years of uncertainty Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley was actually filmed and is set to air on Netflix in 2023. No information on the scenario at this time. On the other hand, we do know that this sequel is produced by Eddie Murphy and Jerry Bruckheimer (nicknamed Mr. Blockbuster) and directed by Mark Molloy with Will Beall (Aquaman, Zack Snyder’s Justice League) to the scenario.
Call me Chihiro
We often hear about anime/manga adaptations in movies or live-action series. One Piece, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note… The examples are numerous and not always very meaningful. But the film we are going to tell you about has everything it takes to be a successful adaptation. Call me Chihiro is in fact a live action movie based on the manga Chihiro-san. He invites us to follow the life of Chihiro, a former sex worker who now works in a bento shop in a small coastal village. With this new job she meets many people and some suffer from past scars or current struggles. But through their words and their actions, they will try to change their existence and teach them to be happy. Co-produced by Netflix and Asmik Ace, the film will be directed by Rikiya Imaizumi (Just Only Love, His, and Little Nights, Little Love
In 2020, Netflix offered us an explosive action film extraction. After the adventures of mercenary Tyler Rake (played by Chris Hemsworth), the latter had plunged us into the heart of the underworld for a mission bordering on the impossible. The film was a success for Netflix and a sequel was soon considered. This was confirmed in September 2021 and filming wrapped in April 2022. The film is expected to be released on Netflix in 2023. At the moment we only had the right to short teasers and little information. Still, we know that Chris Hemsworth will do well to reprise his role. extraction 2 also retains the same director, former stuntman Sam Hargrave, and the same screenwriter, Joe Russo, who has officiated on many Marvel films. He also hinted that the team wanted to modify the formula a bit. We can therefore expect a film with a different tone, setting and pacing than its predecessor. No exact release date at the moment, but it won’t be much longer.
devastation
In any case, we’re starting to see beautiful people flocking to Netflix. Tom Hardy will indeed star in a major action thriller slated for 2023 on the platform: devastation. He plays a detective who is badly injured after a drug trafficking case he was investigating. Now he is involved in a sprawling story and will try to carve his place in the underworld to successfully rescue a politician’s son. A dangerous mission that will lead him to discover that his city is much more corrupt than he thinks. Many interesting names have already been announced for the cast. We will thus be able to find Forest Whitaker (war of stars), Timothy Olyphant (The Mandalorian), Justin Cornwall (training day), Jessie Mei Li (Sh adow and Bone: La Saga Grisha
Boy
Korean cinema has been on the rise since recognition parasite. And among the great classics of the Korean pantheon we find in particular the horror film Last train to Busan, directed by Yeon Sang-ho. If you enjoyed it, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that the guy has a new feature film in store for us in 2023, and more precisely on January 20th. Boy, as it is called, is a science fiction film set in the 22nd century. Due to climate change, the earth is no longer habitable for humans. The survivors therefore have to live together in a huge bunker. However, this does not go well and a real civil war breaks out. To put an end to this and save humanity, researcher Seohyun tries to find a way to clone the legendary fighter’s brain. Boy in the body of a robot. This is the late Kang Soo-yeon (Come, come, come upstairs), the Seohyun alongside Kim Hyun-joo (Glass Slippers, Twinkle Twinkle) and Ryu Kyung-soo (Confession, Itaewon class) in particular.
rebel moon
If you follow DC productions a bit, Zack Snyder is certainly not an unknown name. The man was actually behind the wheel Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman etc justice league. Apart from that, he also directed the films Army of the Dead, 300, Guardian, Sucker Punch and recently Army of the Dead. Suffice it to say the bastard has a résumé as long as your arm and a lot of them are already waiting for his next movie, rebel moon. And that’s a good thing, since it’s slated to hit Netflix in 2023. We stay in sci-fi with a storyline set in an isolated space colony in the depths of the galaxy. But now the tyrant Balisarius is threatening them, and the peace-loving civilians cannot defend themselves. Her only hope: Kora, a mysterious young woman tasked with finding allies on the surrounding planets. She is directed by French-Algerian actress Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: Secret Service, The Mummy), surrounded by actors like Charles Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) or Ray Fisher (justice league).
The killer
It continues with the big names with director David Fincher. Again, the list is long, whether on the side of films or series. David Fincher is indeed Fight Club, Seven, Zodiac, The Curious Story of Benjamin, Gone Girl but also house of cards etc mind hunter. For his next collaboration with Netflix, the director offers us an adaptation of the comic series The killersigned Matz and Luc Jacamon. The general public will thus be able to discover this killer who kills his victims without ever feeling remorse. At least, that was before an event called his very existence into question. Since the comics mostly feature lengthy monologues, we’re excited to see how Fincher will manage to make it all cinematically interesting. In any case, he surrounded himself well Michael Fassbender (Magneto in the X-Men prequel tetralogy) landed the title role.
The light blue eye
If a lucky few could already see The light blue eye in cinemas, the next film by Scott Cooper (Enemies, mad heart) will only land January 6, 2023 on Netflix. And the least we can say is that we’re waiting for it, if only because it’s honoring a talented actor: Christian Bale. The one who always gives his all for his roles will this time take us back to the 19th century to follow the adventures of a detective investigating the murders that took place at the American Military Academy in West Point. And to help him, he can count on a particularly determined young recruit whose name you may recognize: Edgar Allan Poe. But terrible things happen in the shadows and the two men find themselves in the midst of rituals aimed at gaining eternal life. Notice that this movie is an adaptation of the eponymous book by Louis Bayard from 2006. We are promised a somber atmosphere where reason and the supernatural intertwine.
The mother
In May 2023, Jennifer Lopez will show a new film on Netflix: The mother. She plays a famous hitman who is forced to go into hiding to survive. Yes, but now she will bring a special event out of her hole: her daughter, who left her years ago, is in danger. Therefore, while avoiding those who want him dead, she will go to help him. Luckily, the young woman is more than prepared thanks to her education (seen in the teaser) worthy of Rocky. In the casting we therefore find the well-known singer but also Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale, American Horror Story), Omari Hardwick (Performance) or even Paul Raci (sound of metal). In the production we find Niki Caro, who published the film mainly for us mulan. Written by Misha Green (tomb robber 2) and Peter Craig (Hunger Games: Mockingjay). They’ve all worked together to bring us an exciting, action-packed thriller and we hope the result will be cohesive.
we have a spirit
We close with a horror film by Christopher Landon, a director accustomed to the genre. Michael Landon’s son has indeed worked on films like Paranormal Activity, Happy Birtodead or Freaky. with we have a spiritthe guy returns to his first love by offering us, as the name suggests, a movie about ghosts and the paranormal. It all starts when Kevin discovers his new house is being haunted by a ghost. With his family, they will decide to use this paranormal being to become stars on social networks. But by drawing too much attention to themselves, they find themselves in the middle of a government story that transcends them. And the origin of her spirit may well be the key.
