Supervillains, astronauts, arsonists, ex-soldiers, cyborgs, gangsters and even princess s and cartoon snowmen. Small and delicate or large films with good pyrotechnics, all will have their moment in the autumn billboard, which comes loaded with expected returns and some of the most brilliant pearls of the festive harvest.

Ad Astra: Towards the stars

Brad Pitt does not fail: he is a magnet for the box office and not only as an actor, but also thanks to his good taste as a producer. In this science fiction film, he has a privileged partner with director James Gray, who has defined his collaboration as "putting together Apocalypse Now and 2001, an odyssey of space in a giant cocktail shaker, with a bit of Joseph Conrad out there." Premiere on September 20.

While the war lasts

He has run out of competition for the Oscar, but Alejandro Amenábar's return to Spanish after 14 years of shooting in English promises to be one of the highlights of what remains of 2019, on account of Miguel de Unamuno's role during the civil war and his confrontation with Millán-Astray. Premiere on September 27.

Rambo: Last Blood

Is it Rambo's last movie or Sylvester Stallone and his iconic character will never retire? We are inclined towards the latter, since that John Rambo we met in Cornered (in 1982!) Is still a killing machine, faced in this sort of twilight western to a Mexican cartel. Premiere on September 27.

Joker

Villains have always had more appeal than heroes. At least those of fiction, like this arch-enemy of Batman incarnated here by a Joaquin Phoenix in the best possible sense of the word histrion. A comedy capable of freezing the smile, with political alibi (or not) and even philosophical (or not) awarded in Venice. Premiere on September 27.

Zero crack

In 2012, he said he would not direct again, but José Luis Garci has not been able to resist the temptation to roll in black and white the prequel to the closing of the trilogy of El crack , a return to the origins of the immortalized detective cast in his day by Alfredo Landa. Premiere on October 4.

Rainy day in New York

Woody Allen's annual meeting with the billboard was interrupted when Amazon Studios decided to put in a drawer this comedy by the New York filmmaker. Allen returns to the Big Apple with pop superstar Selena Gomez as one of the protagonists, a script about love in flight and a lot of cinema within the cinema. Premiere on October 11.

What burns

In the margins it continues to expand what we know as Spanish cinema. Especially thanks to directors such as Oliver Laxe, who with his third film, Jury Prize in Cannes, delivers a "dry melodrama" as stark as it is beautiful, against the background of the fires in Galicia. Premiere on October 11.

Parasites

The Golden Palm of Cannes is the best definition of the filmography of the Korean Bong Joon Ho as a whole: a surprising, twisted and excessive talent, if not directly supernatural. Here the class struggle, exemplified by two families at both ends of society, transits between the blackest of comedies and the most terrifying of nightmares. Premiere on October 25.

Doctor Dream

Danny Torrance roamed the halls of the Overlook Hotel with his tricycle while the most sinister side of madness was present in the face (and ax) of Jack Nicholson. Now Danny is an adult, but he retains, despite himself, his ability to communicate with the dead. Of course, the bar of Kubrick and The Shining are impossible to match. Premiere on October 31.

the Irish

Martin Scorsese, Robert de Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and Harvey Keitel. Need we say anything else? Well, let's add to the mix the name of Steve Zaillian, screenwriter of Schindler's List , and 210 minutes of violent, precise and electrifying radiography of the ins and outs of organized crime in the United States. Premiere to be confirmed (Netflix and movie theaters)

Terminator: Dark Destination

If there is an expected return this fall that is Linda Hamilton, the Sarah Connor who kicked the ass of the robots of the future in the saga that made her an icon more than 30 years ago. Neither Schwarzenegger nor James Cameron have wanted to miss the appointment, a reboot of the saga that has the director of Deadpool behind the cameras and special effects to fall on his back. Premiere on November 8

Le Mans '66

One of the most famous racing cars of all time, the Ford GT40 that competed in the 24 hours of Le Mans against the unbeatable Ferrari, shares prominence with Christian Bale and Matt Damon, who give life to the driver who drove him and the mechanic He built it. Premiere on November 15

Mother

Rodrigo Sorogoyen's streak seems unstoppable. After seven Goyas for the kingdom and one for the homonymous short film that gave rise to this new film, the filmmaker and screenwriter from Madrid develops the disturbing drama of a woman who loses her son and resists to stop looking for him, even a decade after your demise. Premiere on November 22.

Frozen 2

Disney intends to take the ticket office for assault, as happened with the 1.2 billion dollars raised for the first installment, with the continuation of the adventures of Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Kristoff. More budget, more songs, more characters and, yes, more merchandising for Christmas. Premiere on November 22.

The officer and the spy

Although the critic's reactions to the film after its screening at the Venice Festival have been rather lukewarm, Polanski will always be Polanski, which is not a small thing. Even more so if it is a question of recreating Paris at the end of the 19th century, everything related to the Dreyfus affair and the famous "I accuse" of Émile Zola. Premiere on December 13
