FILM PREVIEW
A look at some of the films still to premiere this year, including Mulan starring Liu Yifei, Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, The Witches remake starring Anne Hathaway, and Daniel Craig as James Bond in No Time To Die
Next up in Disney’s live-action remake campaign, is Mulan. Starring Liu Yifei in the titular role, Mulan is the tale of a young girl who disguises herself as a man so she can be drafted into the Chinese army in place of her ill father. Set around AD 600, Mulan as her male alter ego, Hua Jun, is immediately plunged into the dangerous world of the imperial legions where she must find the strength to prove herself and rise above some pretty toxic masculinity. The original animated version of the story is, for us, probably one of the most underrated Disney movies — although sadly, Eddie Murphy will not reprise his comedic highlight voice role as Mishu the dragon. Some good news though, we’ve heard a rumour that McDonald’s might be bringing back their Rick Sanchez endorsed Mulan Szechuan sauce to coincide with the release. Expected release date: July 24, 2020 journey’ delighted cinema audiences in the early nineties. Thirty years on and Bill (played by Alex Winter) and Ted are back at it again, this time they have to save the universe (again) by creating a song in 78 minutes. Works for some of those autotune rappers out there at the moment so why not? Wild stallions couldn’t drag us away from seeing what the team do with this.
Expected release date: August 21, 2020
