SGG has pointed out that Blade Runner 2049 will be directed by the same who did Arrival.
Now it is getting higher on my list.

Hey JSF,
I too know little of the "Battle of Dunkirk" except that it was WWII, British soldiers and what not, but apparently you're right. Should be a good film because it's a good story.
Dark Tower - I know little of this movie, except that it was a Steven King novel. Oh and that Idris Elba is starring and being directed by a little-known Danish filmmaker; so it should have that European flavor (much like
that of Arrival with Villeneuve, the French director).

I have not seen a trailer yet, but looks interesting.

Regarding Dunkirk - wasn't it a non-battle? Is that what it was famous for? From the trailer, it seems the big deal was that military ships could not save the troops, but it was only common boats, fishermen, who rescued them. Is that the gist?
OK, it looks like there was a Battle of Dunkirk, but this film is not about that, it is about the Dunkirk Evacuation, which was a separate incident.
I am a bit fuzzy about 1940 WWII in Yurp. I'm better with 1941+ or Pacific details from 1940ish.
With Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz under his belt, I should reconsider trying out Baby Driver.

I will follow Villeneuve anywhere.
Wait, there's more...
It seems that he's hot now. See below about DUNE!
The Dune reboot is well on its way! Legendary Pictures nabbed Denis Villenueve earlier to be the director, and now they know who is writing it! Find out more about the legendary writer below!
Eric Roth: has been chosen to write the Dune screenplay. Who is he? He wrote the screenplays for Munich, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and the classic Forrest Gump. Not too shabby!

Autopsy of Jane Doe
I had seen it listed as a December 2016 release, but now I've seen it listed as a 2 May 2017 release. If so, I'll want to catch it.

I thought somebody posted that they had seen this. But i don't know if it was DVD or Cinema. I have no seen any info about it in the physical world - when was it actually in Cinema, if ever? Is it released on DVD yet? If so, what store has it - so far, nobody that I've found.
Wonder Woman starts showing in an hour in my town.
Next week is The Mummy (Tom Cruise).
The next week is Book of Henry.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe was released sometime in 2016, it's a horror/mystery/thriller. I'm attaching the trailer:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3289956/videoplayer/vi2395059737
Looks scary, but that's all I know. Oh, and you could rent it on Amazon for $3.99
