If you were thinking about getting your new year off on a good foot, put away that Atomic Habits book and head straight to Netflix, who have just dropped their Save The Dates trailer. The trailer gives us a glimpse into the movies that will be launching on the platform in 2023, and holy heck, it might be time to stop comfort-rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 17th time because there are some original GEMS in there.
Some highlights include award-winning director David Fincher making his exclusive (and extremely surprising) Netflix debut with neo-noir thriller, The Killer.
Zack Snyder is also coming for that Netflix moolah with his “epic space opera film” Rebel Moon.
Adam Sandler features in not one, but two Netflix movies (including an animated film about a lizard — sign me up, baby).
And of course, a highly-anticipated return in Luther: The Fallen Sun.
Last year, Netflix’s standouts included Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio, and The Gray Man, which bodes well for their 2023 offering. That being said, they also thought military propaganda in Purple Hearts was a good idea, so there’s bound to be some duds in there.
Check out all the movies below:
You People (January 27), an American buddy comedy film with an ensemble cast including Jonah Hill, Eddie Murphy and Nia Long.
