Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer_  by [Daniel D'Addario](https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/)  ## Daniel D'Addario Dec 31, 2014 2:30 PM UTC  by [Daniel D'Addario](https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/)  ## Daniel D'Addario Dec 31, 2014 2:30 PM UTC ### _Jupiter Ascending_ (Feb. 6) Andy and Lana Wachowski, famous for the _Matrix_ franchise, have another vision of the future to share; their new film depicts an alien dynasty seeking to harvest the population of Earth. Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum appear as, respectively, a janitor who unwittingly holds the key to ruling the planet and a genetically-modified hunter. If the Wachowskis stay true to form, this may be the year’s biggest mind-bender. ### _Fifty Shades of Grey_ (Feb. 13) E. L. James’s BDSM romance novel, loved and loathed in equal measure, comes to movie screens with Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan starring. It’s a star-packed vehicle—”Black Widow” singer Rita Ora and Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden play the family of eccentric executive Christian Grey—but all eyes will be on Johnson, whose role as virtuous college student-turned-sex-goddess Anastasia Steele is among the trickiest of the year. ### _Mad Max: Fury Road_ (May 15) Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron team up for the latest iteration of the post-apocalyptic action franchise. The zaniness of director George Miller’s vision would, by all indications, be staying intact: Theron’s bald-headed character is named Imperator Furiosa. ### _Spy_ (May 22)  Actress Melissa McCarthy attends the "St. Vincent" premiere during the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival at Princess of Wales Theatre on Sept. 5, 2014 in Toronto. Jason Merritt—Getty Images Melissa McCarthy tested the limits of her powers in 2014 with roles in dramedies _St. Vincent_ and _Tammy_. But all signs indicate that _Spy_ will bring her back to the pure comedy her fans love: She’s reunited with _Bridesmaids_ director Paul Feig and playing an unlikely character in an outsized situation. This time she’s a CIA paper-pusher who ends up thrust into international espionage. _Bridesmaids_’s Rose Byrne co-stars. ### _Paper Towns_ (June 5)  Actor Nat Wolff poses in the green room at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on Aug. 10, 2014 in Los Angeles. Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic/Getty Images After the massive success of _The Fault in Our Stars_ comes the second adaptation of young adult novelist John Green’s work. _Paper Towns_, a mystery/comedy hybrid, stars _Fault_ supporting player Nat Wolff and British supermodel Cara Delevingne. ### _Jurassic World_ (June 12) Chris Pratt’s career renaissance rolls on with his role in this franchise reboot, featuring genetically-modified reptiles. Will those dopey scientists ever learn to stop bringing dinosaurs back? ### _Magic Mike XXL_ (Jul. 1)  Actor Channing Tatum arrives at the 2014 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 3, 2014 in West Hollywood. Jon Kopaloff—FilmMagic/Getty Images The surprisingly melancholy look at life on the Tampa stripping scene returns with Channing Tatum but without director Steven Soderbergh or Matthew McConaughey. We can reasonably expect fewer moral compromises and more dance sequences; fans are unlikely to complain. ### _Terminator Genisys_ (Jul. 1) The story of Sarah Connor continues to unfold with yet another alteration to the franchise’s twisted timeline. Sarah is played, this time, by _Game of Thrones_ favorite Emilia Clarke, while Arnold Schwarzenegger returns after missing out on the franchise’s last installment. (He was busy governing California at the time.) ### _Pan_ (Jul. 24) The year will bring several live-action reimaginings of kiddie favorites, including _The Jungle Book_, with Bill Murray as the voice of Baloo, and _Cinderella_, with Cate Blanchett as the wicked stepmother. But the most-talked-about brings together Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried, and Rooney Mara to tell the story of Peter Pan’s origins. Jackman plays a pirate, while Mara, controversially, assays the role of Tiger Lily. ### _Jane Got a Gun_ (Sept. 4)  Actress Natalie Portman attends the Children's Hospital Los Angeles' Gala on Oct. 11, 2014 in Los Angeles. John Sciulli—Getty Images This long-delayed production represents a test of Natalie Portman’s powers: Largely silent since her time in the spotlight promoting _Black Swan_, the actress put together what’s being called a “feminist Western” about a woman defending herself against a vicious gang. Producers and co-stars dropped out, but none of the widely-reported behind-the-scenes drama will matter if audiences respond to Portman showing us what she can do. ### _The Intern_ (Sept. 25)  Actress Anne Hathaway attends the European premiere of "Interstellar" at Odeon Leicester Square on Oct. 29, 2014 in London. Mike Marsland—WireImage/Getty Images Nancy Meyers returns for her first film since _It’s Complicated_, bringing together Anne Hathaway as a fashion executive and Robert De Niro as her, well, intern. If it’s anything like Meyers’s past work, we can expect many shots of graciously decorated kitchens. ### _Crimson Peak_ (Oct. 16)  Mia Wasikowska attends a screening of "Madame Bovary" during the 58th BFI London Film Festival at Odeon West End on Oct. 11, 2014 in London. Karwai Tang—WireImage/Getty Images Mia Wasikowska takes a star turn in _Pacific Rim_ director Guillermo del Toro’s latest chiller; the actress plays Edith Cushing, an author living in a creepy Victorian house with a potentially devious husband (Tom Hiddleston). The ubiquitous Jessica Chastain appears as well. ### _The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2_ (Nov. 20)  Actress Jennifer Lawrence arrives at "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" premiere at Nokia Theatre on Nov. 17, 2014 in Los Angeles. Jon Kopaloff—Getty Images Katniss’s saga concludes with an adaptation of the second half of Suzanne Collins’s novel _Mockingjay_, which conveniently happens to contain all of the _Hunger Games_ series’s most shocking and frankly bizarre developments. Most excitingly, Julianne Moore will get the chance to deepen her portrayal of President Coin, a morally complex character we only got glimpses of in the most recent installment. ### _The Martian_ (Nov. 25)  Actor Matt Damon attends the "Project Greenlight" event at Boulevard3 on Nov. 7, 2014 in Hollywood. Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic This adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel about an astronaut left behind on the red planet represents another voyage to space for Matt Damon, a journey that’s had mixed results — his _Elysium_ disappointed fans, but he was a surprising standout in _Interstellar_. This time, though, he’s brought along great support: Ridley Scott is directing a cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Kate Mara, and Kristen Wiig. ### _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_ (Dec. 18) This movie, set some thirty years after the fall of Darth Vader in _Return of the Jedi_, represents a reunion for Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford. But it’s the new characters, including an unnamed shadowy figure whom the trailer depicts holding a newfangled light saber, that have captured fans’ imaginations. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3649869/most-anticipated-movies-2015/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3649869/most-anticipated-movies-2015/"},"headline":"15 Movies We Want to See in 2015","datePublished":"2014-12-31T14:30:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:06:28.692Z","description":"The films due for release next year already generating the most buzz","url":"https://time.com/3649869/most-anticipated-movies-2015/","keywords":["movies","The Hunger Games","spy","paper towns","Fifty Shades of Grey","star wars: the force awakens","Jurassic World"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel D'Addario","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3649869/most-anticipated-movies-2015/","name":"15 Movies We Want to See in 2015"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Jupiter Ascending Trailer","description":"Jupiter Ascending Trailer","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/mqpZI8No/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-12-31T16:24:24.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/mqpZI8No.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3649869/most-anticipated-movies-2015/","duration":"PT2M33S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3649869/most-anticipated-movies-2015/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Fifty Shades of Grey -
