Movie Release Dates 2014: 'The Imitation Game' & 'Night At The Museum 3' Among Top Anticipated Film Releases Coming Soon
A WWII British code-breaker, killer robots, and, one of the last four films of the late Robin Williams. These are some of the films coming out for the fall and the holiday season. This is your first look trailers for these three films.
Benedict Cumberbatch stars in what looks like an ensemble cast: Keira Knightley and Allen Leech, just to name a couple, will be in "The Imitation Game." Ben Stiller, along with Robin Williams, is back at another museum trying to solve the mystery of the golden tablet in "Night at the Museum 3: Secret of the Tomb." And, out of nowhere, a trailer for Antonio Banderas' newest film dropped online starring him, along with his ex-wife Melanie Griffith, titled "Aútomata." The film appears to have killer robots.
(You can find the trailers for these films below this article.)
In "The Imitation Game," Cumberbatch plays the famous WWII code-breaker and inventor of the computer Alan Turing. This film is based on Turing's life, who was a legendary crypt-analyst. The film appears to capture Turing and his brilliant team of code-breakers as they race to crack a code in Britain's dark days of WWII. Turing and his team resided at Britain's top-secret Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park.
The film also appears to deal with Turing's homosexuality. In 1952, Turing was chemically castrated for his homosexuality. However, 60 years later to date, the British Queen pardoned Turing. British Justice Secretary Chris Grayling encapsulated the moment by saying via a statement: "Dr. Turing deserves to be remembered and recognized for his fantastic contribution to the war effort and his legacy to science. A pardon from the Queen is a fitting tribute to an exceptional man," CNN reported.
Onto more funny, as well as sad, movie fair: The third installment of "Night at the Museum" franchise comes with "Night at the Museum: The Secret of the Tomb," and it stars Stiller and Williams. Williams died on Aug. 11, and his death sent a shockwave throughout Hollywood, and an outpouring of love and support from most of his fans, and actors and actresses that he worked with. Both Hollywood and New York's Broadway were in mourning.
In this third installment, Stiller and the statues that come alive at night all head over to London to find out more about the magical tablet. The film boasts that this is a quest for everyone. This is a big journey, and it includes bigger stars as well as returning ones such as, Ben Kingsley ("Gandhi," "House of Sand and Fog"), Dan Stevens ("Downton Abbey"), Rebel Wilson ("Pitch Perfect," "Super Fun Night") and Ricky Gervais ("The Office," "Extras"). And legendary actors Dick Van Dyke and Mickey Rooney are also in the film.
"Night at the Museum: The Secret of the Tomb" is the third film, but for Williams this is one of his last four films that will be coming out. Williams will also be starring in "Boulevard," "Merry Friggin' Christmas," and "Absolutely Anything." "Boulevard" was featured at the Tribeca Film Festival early this year.
Finally, Banderas and Griffith star in "Aútomata." Banderas plays Jacq Vaucan, an insurance agent whose job it is to routinely inspect and investigate cases where people are manipulating their robots. Jacq soon discovers that the future of robotics and humanity are at stake. It looks like the international version to "I, Robot" starring Will Smith.
"Aútomata" is directed by Spanish director Gabe Ibáñez. And it also stars Javier Bardem ("No Country For Old Men") and Dylan McDermott ("Olympus Has Fallen," "American Horror Story"). Further in the film, the robots reach out to Jacq in an attempt to get their help. Also in the trailer there is a desert landscape, and a very slick visual effects version of Griffith as both a therapist and a robot, Deadline reported.
In the film, Griffith's Cleo says, "A machine altering itself is a very complex concept; self-preparing implies some idea of a conscious."
"The Imitation Game" is scheduled to roll out on Oct. 8. (You can click here for the trailer).
"Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb," is scheduled to arrive on Dec. 15. (You can click here for the trailer.)
And "Aútomata" is expected to land on Oct. 10. (You can click here for the trailer.)
