Ones to Watch in 2014

I thought I would share 3 films that I'm excited about watching in 2014, and why :)

.
 

Firstly is a film called Divergent. IMDb describes the plot as "a teenager with a special mind, who finds her life threatened when an authoritarian leader seeks to exterminate her kind in her effort to seize control of their divided society." Which may sound like every other teen film around at the moment e.g. The Hunger Games, and although similar I believe Divergent to be different. As a reader of the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth, I was equally as excited and nervous about a film adaptation. I was worried that with like many film adaptations of books it would look cheesy and not how I imagined it, however looking at the recent trailers and with actors such as Kate Winslet, I think this film will be a real success.

Release Date UK - 4th April

 Secondly is X-Men: Days of Future Past

Directed by Bryan Singer, this is the sequel to 2011's X-Men First Class. The premise for the film is that the X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods. The characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from X-Men: First Class in a battle that must change the past – to save their future. With amazing actors such as Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy, I think this film will be a definite must-see.

                                                                 
 Release Date- 23rd May (US)
 
Thirdly is The Fault in our Stars
 
Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel's other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg, and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group. Having read the book I am really looking forward to the film
 
Release Date - 20th June
