The return of the great masters?

Will the triumph of All at Once Everywhere represent an Oscar twist or is it a mirage? Does the Daniels award open the way for other filmmakers who are traditionally left out? Be that as it may, here are possible titles for next year.

In Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese chronicles actual murders of Native Americans. With DiCaprio and DeNiro. There will also be the second part of Dune, by Dennis Villeneuve, whose first part won six Oscars. If Top Gun: Maverick has been well received this year, could the same be true of James Mangold's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate?

David Fincher returns with The Killer, with Michael Fassbender as a killer with a conscience. For his part, Christopher Nolan offers in Oppenheimer a dramatic episode of said physicist, played by Cillian Murphy. In Ridley Scott's Napoleon, Joaquin Phoenix is ​​Bonaparte and Vanessa Kirby is Josephine.

Reinaldo Marcus Green is directing a still untitled biopic of Bob Marley, with Kingsley Ben-Adir. In Maestro, by and with Bradley Cooper, this is Leonard Bernstein and Carey Mulligan, his wife. Michael Mann returns with Ferrari, about the founder of the automobile company, played by Adam Driver.

As for female figures, Lee, by Ellen Kuras, stands out over the war correspondent Lee Miller, played by Kate Winslet. Regina King is Shirley Chisholm, the first black congresswoman, in John Ridley's Shirley. Annette Benning stars in Jimmy Chin and Elisabeth Chai Vasarhelyi's Nyad, about swimmer Diana Nyad. Rachel Morrison, the first Oscar-nominated cinematographer, makes her debut in Flint Strong, about boxer Claressa Shields (Ryan Destiny).

Marielle Heller adapts Rachel Yoder's novel Canina, in which Amy Adams is a mother who believes she is turning into a dog. For her part, Sofia Coppola directs Priscilla, about the wife (Cailee Spaeny) of Elvis (Jacob Elordi). Angelina Jolie adapts the violent novel Without Blood, by Alessandro Baricco, with Demián Bichir and Salma Hayek. As well as Greta Gerwig's Barbie with Margot Robbie.

Three actresses make their directorial debut. Patricia Arquette, with Gonzo girl, the relationship between a writer –inspired by Hunter S. Thompson– (Willem Dafoe) and his assistant (Camila Morrone). Anna Kendrick directs The Dating Game, about the murderer and rapist Rodney Alcalá, who won a dating contest on television. Kristin Scott Thomas performs My mother's wedding, about the relationship between a mother (Thomas) and her three daughters (Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller and Emily Beecham).

Talk is already beginning about Dogman, by Luc Besson, with Caleb Labdry Jones as a young man, with a traumatic childhood, who establishes a special relationship with dogs. Paul Giammatti is a professor nobody likes in Alexander Payne's The Holdovers. Steve McQueen directs Blitz, a choral portrait in London during the bombings in World War II. Todd Haynes will premiere May December, with Natalie Portman as a journalist digging into Julianne Moore's past.

The Greek Yorgos Lanthimos will have two films: the adaptation of Poor creatures!, by Alasdair Gray, a novel about a scientist (Willem Dafoe) who creates a woman (Emma Stone); and And, with an unknown plot, but also with Stone and Dafoe.

Another double session can be offered by Wes Anderson. On the one hand, Asteroid City, the multi-stellar film (Hanks, Robbie, Johansson, Dafoe...) shot in Madrid and, perhaps, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, with Benedict Cumberbatch.
