Blade Runner 2049 (Oct 6-USA, Oct 5-UK, Oct 5-Singapore)
I am not the biggest fan of the original Blade Runner, but I do appreciate the story & the setting, and I also realize its potential for story expansion. And it seems that this sequel does just that. Everything I have seen and heard about this film points to this being a great film - the strongest aspect being the director, Denis Villeneuve, who's recent work is nothing short of brilliant (Arrival, Sicario, Prisoners). And to top it off, the trailers for this film are excellent, especially the second trailer. Really looking forward to this now!

Professor Marston & the Wonder Women (Oct 13-USA, Nov 10-UK)
Well, what are the chances that in the few months after we have our very first live-action Wonder Woman film - and just about a month before that same character reappears in Justice League - we have a biopic about the creator of Wonder Woman himself. Either this is brilliant planning to try and make use of all the hype of the superhero flicks, or just lucky timing. But about the movie itself, I am slightly curious but have no real intent of seeing it.

Geostorm (Oct 20-USA, Oct 20-UK, Oct 12-Singapore)
Oh, look, a sequel to London Has Fallen. Wait, what? Oh, it isn't. No wonder the president looks different. Anyway, I actually have a bit of concern with Gerard Butler's recent action films. They have been either very generic (like LHF) or just poorly written (like God's of Egypt). And looking at the trailer for this film, I have this bad feeling that it could fall into either category (or worse, both), especially with some bad jokes/lines already shown in them. If this film could prove me wrong, it will make October (in terms of movies) a little bit brighter.

The Snowman (Oct 20-USA, Oct 13-UK, Dec 7-Singapore)
Mystery thrillers like these are always intriguing to begin with. Especially with a trailer like this one has. There is a sense of creepiness and danger, as the lead character picks up the clues from the actions of the serial killer - and for audiences, it is an intriguing ride to follow the character as we ourselves try to figure out the truth. Whether the film pulls it off and whether it's good or not is another thing we'll have to wait and see. But for now, I am quite intrigued by this film.

Suburbicon (Oct 27-USA, Nov 24-UK, Nov 23-Singapore)
A crime comedy film, but with a very different & unconventional style. Much like the above, I am quite intrigued about this film right now, especially due to the interesting setup and how the film is presented...but whether it ends up good is something we'll have to wait and see.

Other Movies:
As mentioned above, there are quite a lot of potentially good/interesting films. The first of which is The Mountain Between Us (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu41hu1a_8c), which is out on October 6th, and looks pretty interesting judging by the trailer. Not to mention the brilliant main leads.
Now on October 13th, there are four films of my radar (though none that I'm really too keen of). The first of which is an action film starring veteran actor Jackie Chan, which is called The Foreigner (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33iuQu3UtjI). Unfortunately, it does look like a second-rate action flick. The other three are biopics. The most interesting for me would be Marshall (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfvzEXhhWNk) which is about the first African-American Supreme Court Justice. It stars Chadwick Boseman, and the trailer looks pretty cool.
The next one, I think, will bring out a lot of tears, and it is called Breathe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y0t2n_8iTc), starring Andrew Garfield as a man paralyzed by polio as his health deteriorates, but not his spirit. Finally, there is Goodbye Christopher Robin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQq3aFSijRg) which is a biopic about the writer/creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, starring Domnhall Gleeson.
Out on October 20th is a film about a crew of firefighters titled Only the Brave (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE_GY6zccqc). The cast involved looks great, but I'm not entirely convinced about the plot. Nor the trailer for that matter. But, we'll see, it might be good.
Finally, you guys who follow my blog will know I actively avoid horror flicks, but if they come to my radar, I will let you know. And on October 27th, we have Jigsaw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcb68kAOvt4), which is apparently part of the Saw franchise.
