During his walk across the United States, Joe Bell was hit by a truck in Colorado and was killed halfway, six months after he had begun his historical walk. The non-acceptability surrounding one’s sexual orientation, especially that of a 15-year-old became a matter of national shame in the then United States and Jadin Bell’s story of succumbing to victimization and bullying raised many concerns. His 15-year-old son Jadin had committed suicide after intense bullying because he came out as gay. Good Joe Bell (TBA, 2020)īased on a true story, with Mark Wahlberg in the titular role, ‘Good Joe Bell’ is the story of Joe Bell, who resolved to undertake a long walk across the United States to raise awareness against bullying.
#NEW MOVIES COMING OUT IN MAY 2018 MOVIE#
As a concept, ‘Sheer Qorma’ might sound too cliched at times (yes, even while watching the trailer) but let’s be wise and wait up for the movie to release, shall we? When Saira confronts her mother (Shabana Azmi) and tells her about their relationship, the latter rejects their so-called “impious” relationship, and brands the idea of them being together as unnatural. Featuring big names in the leading roles like Shabana Azmi, Divya Dutta, Swara Bhasker, et al, the movie primarily revolves around Saira (Divya Dutta) and Sitara (Swara Bhasker) who are in a relationship since the past 10 years. The trailer of the film reveals only so much about the film that keeps our expectations on the higher side.
Not much is known about this Indian Bollywood drama till now but at the very outset, this movie too surrounds the acceptability and the usual social misconceptions and preconceived notions of being homosexual. With so many important characters in the fray, it would be interesting to see if ‘The Eternals’ recreate the charm of our beloved Avengers while taking the entire MCU Phase-4 timeline forward.
And psst – he is kind of an equivalent of Iron Man for the Eternals because he builds all the cool devices and weapons for them. What makes ‘The Eternals’ so special to be a part of this list is “Phastos” – a gay superhero (apparently MCU’s first gay superhero) who is a cosmic-powered inventor played by Brian Tyree Henry in the film. Slated for an early 2021 release, ‘The Eternals’ has Richard Madden, Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, Kit Harrington, among others in prominent roles. To speak of the storyline, ‘The Eternals’ follows the timeline of ‘Avengers: Endgame’, and is primarily about their feud against The Deviants, with Eternals being the protectors of the world as we know it. If we look at the overall chain of movies the MCU has shown us so far, ‘The Eternals’ would be the 25th movie in the list. To misquote Doctor Strange, “We are ‘not’ in the endgame now”. We’ve had our good times with Marvel’s Avengers, all the MCU films, and our favorite superheroes, but everything’s apparently not over yet after ‘Endgame’. The storyline might sound too good to be true but one thing’s for sure – Meryl Streep’s name is again set to be called out at Oscars next year among the list of the nominees and also a potential win. They find their redemption in Emma Nolan – a high school senior who is a lesbian and who is facing some challenges in asking her girlfriend to the prom. The plot surrounds a bunch of Broadway theater veterans who are at the dead-end of their careers if their critics are to be believed and who strive to find a lost cause to get themselves back on track, like some sort of charity work. More than the film itself, I bet the audiences are eager to see bigwigs like Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman together directed by Ryan Murphy, the writer-director of ‘Eat Pray Love’, ‘American Horror Story’, ‘Scream Queens’, ‘Glee’, etc. The Prom (Fall 2020)Ī musical rom-com at the outset, ‘The Prom’ is based out on a Broadway musical bearing a similar name. Some are going to be released soon, either in 2020 or 2021, and some are yet to get a fixed date. Some great movies, with exciting potential, are on the horizon, though we might have to wait a bit longer for them to come out! We have high hopes from this list of upcoming films that are expected to be much better at handling the complexities and struggles of homosexual and transgender people. However, more films like these need to come out because there are countless stories to tell. The number of films focusing on the life of people from the LGBT community is still quite less, but they make up for it with strong content. We’ve had some great years for LGBT films, especially with the critical and commercial success of films like ‘Boy Erased’ and ‘Love, Simon’, and Academy Award winners like ‘Moonlight’.
