Right now we're in the awkward transition period between blockbuster season and Oscar season, and so far only a few movies have managed to make an impression. With Birth of a Nation so far the only film looking like a real contender so far, and The Accountant having not lived up to expectations, there has been a lot of curiosity over what will be this year's Oscar movies. One film to look out for is Denis Villenueve's Arrival, which is set to hit in late November. The film could be this year's The Martian, and walk the line between sci-fi adventure and Oscar worthy drama. With such a strong cast on board including leads Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner, theres a lot of pressure for Arrival to live up to the hype.
Below is the last trailer for Arrival:
Reviews for the film have already been very strong after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. While both Whitaker and Renner's roles are described as smaller, Adams apparently get the bulk of the screen time and does an amazing job with it. If these reviews are anything to go by, this could end up being Adams chance at a Best Actress nomination and possible win. Adams is playing Dr. Louise Banks who is a linguist tasked with finding out whether the arriving aliens are a threat or help for mankind. A new poster for the film has also been released which you can see below:
