With new films on the horizon from Paul Thomas Anderson, Guillermo del Toro, Jane Campion, Paul Schrader, Mia Hansen-Løve, and more, it appears 2021 could be a major year for cinephiles. Now if only the coronavirus pandemic would get under control. While no release date is a certainty these days, a survey of the upcoming projects set for release in 2021 and the films now in post-production confirms some of the best auteurs in the world are waiting in the wings with new movies. Any year where it’s a possibility for Björk to return to screens in a new Robert Eggers movie is a promising one, and such is the case for 2021.

Below are 31 of the most exciting director-actor film collaborations we hope to see released in 2021.

Adam McKay and Jennifer Lawrence (and Leonardo DiCaprio), “Don’t Look Up”

Adam McKay’s pivot to more serious-minded dramas with “The Big Short” and “Vice” scored with Oscar voters but had mixed results with critics, so news the writer-director is returning to comedy is welcome indeed. McKay is a film comedy staple of the 2000s thanks to “Anchorman,” “Talladega Nights,” and “Step Brothers,” and he’s gone ahead and assembled the most star-studded movie event in years with his return to the genre. “Don’t Look Up” stars Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio as low-level astronomers forced to go on a media tour to warn the population of an impending meteor that will destroy Earth. Lawrence and DiCaprio have showcased razor sharp comedic skills before, but never have they been front and center in a straightforward comedy vehicle. There’s also this whopping supporting cast to get excited about: Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, Meryl Streep, Rob Morgan, Himesh Patel, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Matthew Perry, and Tomer Sisley.
Pablo Larraín and Kristen Stewart, “Spencer”

Casting Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana was destined to break the internet, and thus Pablo Larraín’s biographical drama “Spencer” is one of the major indie titles of 2021. From “No” to “Neruda” and “Jackie,” Larraín always brings a radical approach to his biographical movies and “Spencer” should be no exception as it is set over a single weekend in Diana’s life as she contemplates the end of her marriage to Prince Charles while celebrating Christmas with the royal family at the Sandringham estate in Norfolk. Larraín has already heralded Stewart as “one of the great actors around today,” and their collaboration will surely generate headlines throughout fall festival season. Neon, who picked up “Spencer” in a deal worth a reported $4 million, has announced plans to release the film sometime in fall 2021.
Paul Schrader and Oscar Isaac, “The Card Counter”

Image Credit: Paul Schrader

Paul Schrader earned his long overdue first Oscar nomination for writing thanks to “First Reformed,” which also gave star Ethan Hawke one of the best roles of his career. Next up for the New Hollywood icon is “The Card Counter,” starring Oscar Isaac as a gambler and former soldier who sets out to help a young man seek revenge on a mutual enemy from their past. Isaac’s last big screen release was “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” so it will be refreshing to see him sink his teeth into a challenging indie like “The Card Counter.” Schrader’s scripts drew career-defining work out of Hawke, Robert De Niro, Richard Gere, and more, and now it’s Oscar Isaac’s turn to dazzle in all his Schrader-written glory.
Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh, “Don’t Worry Darling”

Image Credit: Everett Collection / Everett Collection

Olivia Wilde follows the breakout success of her feature directorial debut “Booksmart” with the upcoming psychological thriller “Don’t Worry Darling.” The film stars Florence Pugh as a 1950s housewife who lives with her husband in a utopian experimental community and begins to worry that his glamorous company may be hiding disturbing secrets. Pugh is still awaiting her Marvel debut in “Black Widow,” and she could be in store for a major year if the MCU tentpole and “Don’t Worry Darling” manage to open in 2021. Pugh received her first Oscar nomination for “Little Women,” which opened the same year Ari Aster’s “Midsommar” made her an instant horror film icon. Between “Midsommar” and “Lady Macbeth,” Pugh knows how to master the psychological thriller. Here’s wishing “Don’t Worry Darling” delivers on the hype.
Nia DaCosta and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, “Candyman”

Image Credit: Universal

“Candyman” was set to be one of the high profile horror releases of 2020, then the pandemic hit. With a new release date from Universal Pictures set for August 27, “Candyman” will benefit not only from the demand for a blockbuster horror movie but also because filmmaker Nia DaCosta and star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II saw their careers skyrocket during the release delay period. DaCosta, who first broke out with her firecracker indie “Little Woods,” is now helming the Brie Larson-starring “Captain Marvel” sequel at Disney and Marvel, while Abdul-Mateen won an Emmy for his supporting performance in “Watchmen” and earned raves for his role in “The Trial of the Chicago 7.”
Jeremiah Zagar and Adam Sandler, “Hustle”

Image Credit: Mark Von Holden/Invision/AP

Adam Sandler’s Netflix original movies have mostly been critically panned comedies, but can the upcoming “Hustle” buck the trend? With “We the Animals” indie breakout Jeremiah Zagar behind the camera, consider our interest piqued. Sandler stars as an American basketball scout who is unjustly fired after discovering a once-in-a-lifetime player abroad. To prove the NBA wrong, Sandler’s scout decides to bring the rising athlete to the States to prove they both have what it takes to make it in professional basketball. Zagar won the NEXT Innovator Award at Sundance with “We the Animals,” a sensitive coming-of-age story about a young boy coming to terms with being queer. “We the Animals” bares nothing in common with Sandler’s Netflix comedy streak, which is all the more reason “Hustle” is so intriguing. Sandler can deliver the acting goods with the right directorial partnership (see Paul Thomas Anderson, Noah Baumbach, and the Safdie Brothers), so here’s hoping Zagar joins the list.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Olivia Colman, “The Lost Daughter”

Image Credit: AP

Maggie Gyllenhaal makes the jump from actress to director in her feature filmmaking debut “The Lost Daugther,” which Gyllenhaal herself adapted from the Elena Ferrante novel of the same name. Gyllenhaal’s feature directorial debut was always going to cause anticipation given her tour-de-force acting career, but casting Emmy and awards darling Olivia Colman in the lead role makes “The Lost Daughter” something of an indie film event. Colman, an Oscar winner for “The Favourite” who’s back in the awards races with “The Crown” and “The Father,” plays a woman who finds finds herself becoming obsessed with another woman and her daughter while on summer holiday. Gyllenhaal has cast indie favorite Jessie Buckley as the younger version of Colman’s character. Supporting turns from Dakota Johnson, Peter Sarsgaard, and “Normal People” breakout Paul Mescal only add to the anticipation.
Jane Campion and Jesse Plemons/Kirsten Dunst, “The Power of the Dog”

Image Credit: Apparition/courtesy Everett Collection

Real-life couple Jesse Plemons and Kirsten Dunst are reuniting on the big screen after their Emmy-nominated roles in “Fargo” Season 2, courtesy of “The Power of the Dog.” The Netflix release marks Jane Campion’s first feature since 2009’s “Bright Star” (she directed two seasons of “Top of the Lake” in between) and also stars Benedict Cumberbatch. Adapted by Campion from Thomas Savage’s novel of the same name, “The Power of the Dog” is a domestic drama set in 1920s Montana that centers around two brothers whose relationship is upended by a woman and other new arrivals on their ranch. Plemons rarely selects titles that aren’t a dramatic knockout (he’s riding high off buzz from “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” and “Judas and the Black Messiah”) and Dunst is always at the top of her acting powers when collaborating with an auteur (see Sofia Coppola and Lars von Trier), so many are assuming Campion has a slam dunk on her hands.
Edgar Wright and Anya Taylor-Joy, “Last Night in Soho”

Image Credit: ©TriStar Pictures/Courtesy Everett Colle / Everett Collection

Edgar Wright’s time-travel psychological horror movie “Last Night in Soho” was originally scheduled for release in September 2020, but its delay should only be a boost for the film’s marketing given the title is now Anya Taylor-Joy’s first major film release following the record-breaking success of Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit.” Taylor-Joy is one of Hollywood’s young superstars and Wright is one of the most kinetic filmmakers working today. Throw in “Leave No Trace” and “Jojo Rabbit” breakout Thomasin McKenzie and add a mysterious plot that involves both actresses in 1960s London and what you get is one of the most anticipated titles of the 2021 fall movie season. While Focus had set a second release date for April 23, “Last Night in Soho” will now arrive October 22. Wright told IndieWire at Sundance he was more than comfortable delaying the project until it was safe to release it in movie theaters, as the big screen is what “Last Night in Soho” is designed for.
M. Night Shyamalan and Gael García Bernal, “Old”

Image Credit: ©Universal/courtesy Everett / Everett Collection

M. Night Shyamalan is looking for a movie rebound after “Glass” misfired with critics. Enter “Old,” inspired by the graphic novel “Sandcastle” by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters. Shot in 2020 under strict COVID safety protocols, “Old” centers around a family on a tropical beach who find themselves rapidly aging, reducing their entire lives into a single day. The premise sounds like great territory for Shyamalan to mine into twisted thrills, and the cast already looks winning thanks to Gael García Bernal, Vicky Krieps, Thomasin McKenzie, Alex Wolff, and Eliza Scanlan. Bernal rarely has been given the chance to lead a Hollywood studio title, which makes “Old” all the more special. Universal Pictures is scheduled to release “Old” on July 23.
Robert Eggers and Bjork, “The Northman”

Image Credit: ©IFC Films/Courtesy Everett Collection

After dazzling the indie world with “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse,” Robert Eggers levels up to make his first outright epic with “The Northman,” a 10th century Viking revenge story that reunites the filmmaker with former stars Willem Dafoe and Anya Taylor-Joy, plus Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, and Claes Bang. While each of these acting collaborations with Eggers is worth getting excited about, “The Northman” gets bonus aciticipation for bringing Björk back to the big screen. The Icelandic singer rarely takes on acting projects, as 1990’s “The Juniper Tree” and 2000’s “Dancer in the Dark” remain her only narrative feature projects. Björk won Best Actress at Cannes for “Dancer in the Dark,” and the chance to see her play a character known as The Slav Witch in “The Northman” will be impossible to ignore.
Steven Soderbergh and Benicio del Toro, “No Sudden Moves”

Image Credit: ©USA Films/Courtesy Everett Collection

With “Let Them All Talk,” Steven Soderbergh hit his first HBO Max original movie out of the park. Next up for the director and the streamer is “No Sudden Move,” which returns Soderbergh to ensemble drama territory thanks to the casting of Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour, Jon Hamm, Ray Liotta, Kieran Culkin, Brendan Fraser, Noah Jupe, Julia Fox, and Amy Seimetz. “No Sudden Moves” is set in 1955 Detroit and centers on a heist gone wrong and the small-time criminals caught up in its aftermath. Del Toro won an Oscar for Soderbergh’s “Traffic” (pictured above), so the chance to see the actor and Soderbergh reunite in the crime genre alone makes “No Sudden Moves” a must-see.
Lana Wachowski and Carrie-Anne Moss, “The Matrix 4”

Image Credit: ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection

In the 18 years since “The Matrix” franchise released a new entry, Keanu Reeves has gone on to lead his own beloved action franchise with the “John Wick” movies. While it will certainly be a kick seeing Reeves back as Neo in Lana Wachowski’s “The Matrix 4,” it’s the return of Carrie-Anne Moss in full action hero mode that is most exciting. Moss has kept a lower profile than Reeves since their “Matrix” days (one of her biggest ongoing roles was as an unscrupulous lawyer on Netflix’s “Jessica Jones”), and the upcoming fourth installment will be her first Hollywood action tentpole in nearly two decades. Moss is long overdue for a return to action movie stardom, and that it will arrive with the resurrection of Trinity makes it all the more special.
Joel Coen and Denzel Washington/Frances McDormand, “The Tragedy of Macbeth”

Image Credit: ©First Look Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection

For the first time in decades, Joel Coen is going solo. In a rare break from directing alongside brother Ethan, Joel helms a retelling of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” starring the powerhouse combo of Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand in the lead roles. The chance to see these two performers tear into Shakespeare’s iconic soliloquies should make “The Tragedy of Macbeth” an actor’s dream come true. McDormand is a surefire bet to land an Oscar nomination in 2021 thanks to “Nomadland,” and she could be just as much of a frontrunner if her Lady Macbeth delivers the dramatic knockout everyone in the industry expects it to when A24 releases the film.
George Miller and Tilda Swinton/Idris Elba, “Three Thousand Years of Longing”

Image Credit: ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection

George Miller’s long-awaited follow-up project to “Mad Max: Fury Road” is “Three Thousand Years of Longing,” an epic fantasy romance featuring the enticing pairing of Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba. Miller said in 2020 that he’s aiming to have the film ready for fall 2021. Not much about the film’s storyline has been revealed, although rumors have circulated the film centers around a conversation between a female scholar and a Djinn who offers her wishes in exchange for his freedom. Whatever “Three Thousand Years of Longing” turns out to be, expect the entire film world to take notice.
Paul Thomas Anderson and Bradley Cooper, “Soggy Bottom”

Image Credit: ©Focus Features/courtesy Everett Collect / Everett Collection

The return of Paul Thomas Anderson is at the top of many cinephiles’ wish lists for 2021. Made under the working title “Soggy Bottom,” Anderson’s latest teams him with Bradley Cooper, Alana Haim, Benny Safdie, and the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s son Cooper in the story of a famous child actor who befriends an infamous Hollywood film producer in the 1970s San Fernando Valley. Bradley Cooper has not been on screen since “A Star Is Born,” arguably the best performance of his career so far, and following in the footsteps of Hoffman, Daniel Day Lewis, and Joaquin Phoenix as a PTA lead should only elevate Cooper’s acting career.
Cary Fukunaga and Lashana Lynch, “No Time to Die”

The chance to see Cary Fukunaga get the keys to the James Bond franchise in “No Time to Die” presents a host of exciting possibilities, as does the casting of “Captain Marvel” breakout Lashana Lynch. The internet nearly broke when word got out that Lynch was taking over the 007 moniker in “No Time to Die,” but that kind of radical move is just what the Bond franchise needs with Craig’s five-film arc coming to an end. Craig’s time as Bond may be over, but watching how Fukunaga and Lynch lay the groundwork for this franchise to continue should be one of the best things about “No Time to Die.”
Mia Hansen-Love and Vicky Krieps, “Bergman Island”

Image Credit: CG Cinema

Vicky Krieps wowed the film world with her breakthrough performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Phantom Thread,” and she’s long overdue to build on that buzz with a starring role in Mia Hansen-Løve’s “Bergman Island.” The plot centers around a filmmaking couple who lose their sense of reality while working on scripts on Fårö Island, a sacred location for film buffs since it’s where Ingmar Bergman shot many films and later lived. The cast also includes Mia Wasikowska and Tim Roth.
Denis Villenueve and Timothée Chalamet, “Dune”

Image Credit: Warner Bros.

Chalamet’s big 2020 with Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch” and Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” has been bumped to 2021, but it will be epic nonetheless. “Dune” finds the Oscar-nominated Villeneuve tackling another iconic science-fiction franchise after earning rave reviews for his work on “Blade Runner 2049.” The Warner Bros. tentpole marks a pivotal moment in Chalamet’s career as it’s his first leading role in a studio blockbuster. Something tells us Chalamet is more than ready to rise to the occasion. “Dune” is opening in theaters and streaming on HBO Max beginning October 1.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Tilda Swinton, “Memoria”

Image Credit: Cannes

“Memoria” marks the first time Thai auteur Apichatpong Weerasethakul has made a movie outside his own country. This time he ventures to Colombia to explore the experiences of a nomadic woman (Swinton) suffering from exploding head syndrome, which causes her to hear loud noises that don’t exist. Swinton is a force of nature when tapping into the unraveling nerves of her panicked characters, and that sounds like it’s going to be a big part of Weerasethakul’s latest. Expect a Cannes debut.
David Lowery and Dev Patel, “The Green Knight”

Image Credit: A24

“A Ghost Story” writer-director David Lowery deserves credit for casting Dev Patel in the lead role of his adaptation of the Arthurian legend “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.” The chance to see an armor-clad Patel wield a sword in a fantasy epic sounds too good to be true. An Arthurian adaptation is probably the last thing many cinephiles would expect from the man behind “Ain’t Them Bodies Saints,” but Lowery surprised fans with his family film “Pete’s Dragon,” and he should have no problem doing so again in the fantasy genre.
Wes Anderson and Timothée Chalamet, “The French Dispatch”

Image Credit: Searchlight

Timothée Chalamet is joining Wes Anderson’s troupe for the first time alongside regulars Tilda Swinton, Saoirse Ronan, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray, and more in the director’s “The French Dispatch.” The movie is an anthology film in which staffers of an American news magazine stationed in France get together and decide which stories they will republish in an edition to honor the magazine’s late editor in chief. Anderson then brings these different stories to life. Searchlight Pictures has not yet dated “The French Dispatch” for 2021, but a Cannes debut is expected in July (or whenever Cannes 2021 takes place).
Leos Carax and Marion Cotillard, “Annette”

Image Credit: Indomina/courtesy Everett Collection

Leos Carax fans have been waiting nine years for the filmmaker to follow-up his decade-defining masterwork “Holy Motors” with the intimate two-hander “Annette,” starring Marion Cotillard and Adam Driver. Cotillard stars as a world-famous soprano whose life is upended when her newborn daughter is born with a unique gift. Driver is coming off an Oscar nomination for “Marriage Story,” but it’s quite a while since audiences last saw Cotillard with a meaty dramatic role worthy of her talents. Cotillard has been underserved by recent projects, such as “Assassin’s Creed” and “Allied,” so here’s hoping “Annette” gives her the opportunity to remind us why she’s one of the world’s best.
Guillermo del Toro and Cate Blanchett, “Nightmare Alley”

Image Credit: ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection

“Nightmare Alley” is Guillermo del Toro’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning “The Shape of Water” and is based on the 1946 William Lindsay Gresham novel of the same name. The movie will have del Toro’s most star-studded ensemble cast to date: Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Toni Collette, Ron Perlman, Richard Jenkins, and Willem Dafoe. Cooper plays a con man who falls for a psychiatrist who proves far more dangerous than he is. Del Toro has cast Blanchett as the psychiatrist, and it’s the kind of femme fatale role the actress should have a blast subverting. Searchlight is releasing “Nightmare Alley” on December 3.
Andrew Dominik and Ana de Armas, “Blonde”

Image Credit: Sipa USA via AP

“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” and “Killing Them Softly” director Andrew Dominik has spent nearly a decade developing “Blonde,” a Marilyn Monroe biographical drama based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel of the same name. Naomi Watts and Jessica Chastain were once attached to the project, but it’s rising star Ana de Armas who ultimately landed the part. De Armas is coming off a breakthrough role in Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” and she’s got a supporting role in October’s James Bond tentpole “No Time to Die.” The time is red hot for de Armas to get a leading role to dazzle us, and Dominik’s “Blonde” should do the trick.
Mike Mills and Joaquin Phoenix, “C’mon C’mon”

Joaquin Phoenix won the Best Actor Oscar last year for his role in “Joker,” and the actor didn’t take much of a hiatus as he wrapped production on Mike Mills’ “C’mon C’mon” in the midst of the 2019-20 awards season. The film reportedly stars Phoenix as an artist left to take care of his precocious young nephew during a cross country road trip. Mills is one of our most gifted directors of actors (see Christopher Plummer’s Oscar winning role in “Beginners” or Annette Bening in “20th Century Women”), so collaborating with Phoenix should be a winning combination.
Chloé Zhao and Angelina Jolie, “Eternals”

Image Credit: ©Sony Pictures/Everett Collection / Everett Collection

If Marvel movies are going to continue for the next 100 years, then hiring indie visionaries like Chloé Zhao is one way to keep cinephiles intrigued and engaged. Zhao’s “Songs My Brothers Taught Me,” “The Rider,” and “Nomadland” have a character-driven empathy that should make her upcoming Marvel movie “Eternals” one of the most emotionally authentic comic book tentpoles yet. The cast is impressive (Richard Madden, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, Brian Tyree Henry) but it’s Angelina Jolie working in tandem with Zhao on a multi-million dollar comic book epic that has anticipation in overdrive.
Taika Waititi and Michael Fassbender, “Next Goal Wins”

Image Credit: ©Walt Disney Co./courtesy Everett / Everett Collection

Taika Waititi won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay last year with “Jojo Rabbit,” and he was set to be back in theaters by the end of the year with “Next Goal Wins” until the pandemic delayed the new project. The film is based on the documentary of the same name, which followed the American Samoa soccer team, considered the weakest team in the world, as they compete to qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Michael Fassbender is playing the team’s coach, Thomas Rongen, and Waititi’s uplifting and inspirational tone should be an exciting break for Fassbender, who’s often at the center of bleak and intense dramas.
Kogonada and Colin Farrell, “After Yang”

Image Credit: Sipa USA via AP

Video essayist Kogonada delivered one of the best debut films of the decade with “Columbus,” and now he’s returning with “After Yang.” Adapted from Alexander Weinstein’s short story “Saying Goodbye to Yang,” Kogonada’s latest is an intimate science-fiction drama that follows a father and his daughter as they attempt to save the life of a robot family member after it stops functioning. A24 is behind the project, which means leading actor Colin Farrell will be back at the home that turned “The Lobster” into a box office hit.
Ridley Scott and Adam Driver, “The Last Duel”

Image Credit: 20th Century Fox Licensing/Merchandising / Everett Collection

Working with Ridley Scott is almost a right of passage in Hollywood, and this year Adam Driver gets his due by leading “The Last Duel” opposite Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Jodie Comer. The film restages the 1386 trial by combat between Norman knight Jean de Carrouges and the squire Jacques Le Gris, who Jean accused of raping his wife. The project was one of the first major films developed by Fox for Disney. The film is scheduled for release on October 15.
Adrian Lyne and Ben Affleck, “Deep Water”

Image Credit: Sipa USA via AP

Adrian Lyne, the master provocateur behind psychosexual dramas “Fatal Attraction,” “9½ Weeks,” and “Unfaithful,” is returning to the big screen later this year for the first time in 19 years with “Deep Water,” starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas as a married couple who have fallen out of love and begin playing twisted mind games with each other that result in the deaths of people around them. Working with Lyne should shake up Affleck’s career in the best way possible.
