New Movies We Can't Wait To See In March 2017

From a live-action Disney adaptation to some of the biggest sci-fi films of the year, March is stacked with movies well worth checking out at the box office.

Highlights for the month include Logan, Kong: Skull Island, Ghost in the Shell, The Belko Experiment, and Power Rangers. We'll break them all down below—be sure to update your calendar accordingly (and snag some early tickets).

This drama is based on the 2010 novel of same name by Lauren Oliver, and follows a 17-year-old girl who has to relive the day of her death. Young Sam (Zoey Deutch) uses her time loop to try and avoid her fate, and eventually finds the freedom to take chances—and learns there's a lot more to life than she thought. Before I Fall is directed by Ry Russo-Young (Nobody Walks).

This faith-based film stars Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer, and is based on the 2007 novel of the same name. The story follows a family after their young daughter is murdered, as the father (played by Sam Worthington) deals with a crisis of faith. He receives a mysterious letter telling him to return to the shack where the crime occurred. It comes from the producer of The Blind Side, so if you're looking to have some heartstrings pulled, this should do the trick.

This period-set King Kong film stars A-listers Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman and Brie Larson as a team of explorers and soldiers venturing into an uncharted island in the Pacific Ocean. Turns out the place is full of monsters, led by the mighty Kong. Legendary is reportedly looking to combine the worlds of Kong and Godzilla for a crossover down the line, so this one should also help set the stage for even more monster insanity.

This high-concept horror film was written by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) and follows a group of 80 white-collar office workers trapped in a violent social experiment in which the work day suddenly becomes a game of kill or be killed—basically Office Space meets Battle Royale. The Belko Experiment stars John Gallagher, Jr., Michael Rooker, Tony Goldwyn, Adria Arjona, John C. McGinley and Melonie Diaz, and is directed by breakout horror director Greg McLean, best known for his hit thriller Wolf Creek.

For youngish adults of a certain age, this one has been a long time coming. The '90s kids' series is getting a big-screen reboot as a PG-13 action franchise. Director Dean Israelite (Project Almanac) has put together a nice mix of stars like Elizabeth Banks and Bryan Cranston plus younger up-and-comers to play the teenage Rangers. Israelite's previous film Project Almanac did a good job with its teen protagonists, so this one has the potential to be a whole lot of fun—or a total mess. Either way, we can't wait to see how it turns out.

This buddy cop comedy stars Dax Shepard (who wrote and directed) and Michael Peña as two California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers who get in way over their heads. The supporting cast includes Vincent D'Onofrio, Adam Brody, Rosa Salazar, Vida Guerra, and Kristen Bell—and yes, CHiPS is a comedy-centric remake of the 1977-1983 TV series. Remember how much you liked the Starsky and Hutch and Dukes of Hazzard movies? Maybe not, now that we think about it...but there's still a lot of talent and potential here.

The long-awaited live-action adaptation of this acclaimed anime looks to be one of the most ambitious sci-fi films of the year. Scarlett Johansson stars in the lead role of the Major, and the story follows the counter-cyberterrorist unit Section 9 as they take on a dangerous new threat. The first footage from the film looks to be a gorgeous translation of the visuals from the anime—no matter how it turns out as an overall cinematic experience, there seems to be no doubt director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) has built something gorgeous.
