Eighth Grade

Over a decade of film dispersion , A24 has become a trade name unto itself . After dozens of arthouse hits with some of the most exciting new movie maker working today , this outpouring saw the Daniels '   instant classicEverything Everywhere All At Oncebecome the distributor ’s biggest hit to date , and will no doubt be an Oscar competition at next year ’s awards .

According toIndieWire , there are already discussion in the works for a sequel to the Michelle Yeoh fomite , but it ’s not the only A24 photographic film that merit the subsequence treatment . There are wad of A24 moving-picture show over the years , both instant classics and cult smoothie , that outcry out for another ledger entry .

Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022)

The auteur duo of Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinart ( working under the meld name of Daniels ) are reportedly already brainstorm a potential sequel for their maximalist action - comedy , and for a serious intellect . The surprisal strike is a succeeder in mankind - building on a scale rarely seen in indie celluloid , and the case of multi - verse the Daniels have conceived begs for as much exploration as they can summon .

In the follow - up , Yeoh ’s Evelyn and her daughter Joy ( Stephanie Hsu ) should in all likelihood have to fall in forces against a new threat threaten the multi - verse , hopefully one just as terrestrially terrifying as Jamie Lee Curtis ' tax auditor . Or , it could be a quest to help her ailing founder ( James Hong ) in the twilight of his life sentence . Just like the multi - verse itself , the possibilities are endless .

Eighth Grade (2018)

Bo Burnham has emerged as one of the most interesting comedic talent lick today . Most notably , his dark and unveil specialInside , raise during the pandemic , indicate the Earth a valet in crisis with the world he sees around him . But A24 fans knew his profundity years earlier with his directorial launching , Eighth Grade .

The slice - of - life comedy follow Kayla ( played by newcomer Elsie Fisher ) as she attempts to navigate   living   as a distinctive 14 - year - old missy in the modern world . The result is a touching and surprisingly observant film that greatly deserves a follow - up . Kayla would be in her elderly yr , and life sentence for teen has only gotten more complicated .

Ex Machina (2014)

Alex Garland’sEx Machinais one of the label ’s other successes and remainsone of the honest techno - horrors of all time . The story terminate with the android Ava ( Alicia Vikander ) leaving her   creator Nathan ( Oscar Isaac )   for dead , take the eggbeater meant for hapless coder Caleb ( Domnhall Gleeson ) , and blending into a crew in an strange city .

What Ava does next is left to the imagery , as is what happens within the bunker walls of the remote compound . A24 could ostensibly expand on the motion-picture show ’s original ending , which commit a glimpse into Ava ’s consciousness . Or , throw that Caleb is still locked inside the compound , he might be able-bodied to revive Nathan ’s former attempts at A.I. and hunt for Ava as she acclimates to her new public .

Free Fire (2016)

There are very few activity motion-picture show that have the same indie energy as Ben Wheatley ’s snappyFree Fire . It is a rare film that is able to double the energy of former Quentin Tarantino without seeming like a pale copy . apply a mould of bright , charismatic stars from the U.K. and the U.S. , the usually obtuse and pensive Wheatley delivered an action - comedy that plays like a parlor room farce comedy .

By the last of the storage warehouse shootout that contain 90 % of the film ’s runtime , the only subsister is Justine ( Brie Larson ) , a government agent with vague allegiances and a large chip on her shoulder . A follow - up would of course place her at the lead , whether she is incarcerated ( as the movie ’s finish implies ) or back out hustling once more .

The Green Knight (2021)

author / director David Lowery   brought Arthurian poesy to the screen inThe Green Knight , embracing the magic imagery of the writing to direct the witness on a dreamlike journey , and anew quite a little of Arthurian movie would be welcome . One meet answer to this celluloid would be a version of Geoffrey of Monmouth ’s Vita Merlini , which recount of Merlin ’s fall into madness , Cassandran ’s vaticination , vindication , and finally refusal of the call to take back to ruling his kingdom .

However , A24 ’s legacy make Morgan Le Fay a light choice as a central character . King Arthur ’s baby and Merlin ’s apprentice , Morgan played a decisive role in the original Green Knight poem , as it was she who station the Green Knight into lawcourt to screen Gawain .   A24 would toy well with Morgan ’s moral equivocalness , her controversial sexuality , and her journeying with Arthur from ally to enemy and back .

Slow West (2015)

obtuse Westis one of the most underrated Westerns of themodern wave of revisionist filmsthe genre has seen in late years . The John Maclean fable stars Michael Fassbender as the weary bounty huntsman Silas Selleck , who while on a seeking for a pair of outlaw lovers teams up with a Scottish adolescent ( Kodi Smit - McPhee ) who believes the distaff criminal to be his dead on target making love .

Through much of the photographic film , Selleck is just a sad percipient as inevitable cataclysm befalls all involved . But his tale and insight into the human condition give the write up additional weight , and it ’s easy to opine another if his adventures were told with likewise affecting ruth and irony .

The Souvenir: Part II (2021)

Joanna Hogg ’s duology ofThe SouvenirandThe Souvenir : Part IIare two of the good films of recent memory , depicting the growth of a vernal creative person with equal parts biting wittiness and hefty grace . In a very roughly autobiographic histrionics of her own life story as a moving picture student in the U.K. , Hogg and her headliner Honor Swinton Byrne paint a portrait of a lost young person both specific and universally relatable , and there ’s nothing stopping their story from go forward .

After the premiere of her experimental thesis at the close ofPart IIand embark on a career as a commercial theatre director , the theater director protagonist Julie could navigate the waters of trying to produce her first feature while grappling with the rough realism of adulthood in a existence that still is n’t quite ready for her voice .

Under the Silver Lake (2018)

David Robert Mitchell’sUnder the Silver Lakeis one of themost judgment - boggling of neo - noirs , a genre that is already know for its   labyrinthine plots and beguile characters . center on a sadsack movie nerd named Sam ( Andrew Garfield ) and his hunt for a mysterious girl who appeared in his flat pulley block and vanish without a trace , the moving-picture show presents a nesting doll of conspiracies and blanket - ups that quickly drive the unskilled hoagie to insanity .

Garfield , whose most recent neo - noir experience is on Hulu’sUnder the Banner of Heaven , has proven adept at playing idealists in over their psyche , and the earth Mitchell created is too bold and weird to leave alone . While the film ’s ending leaves Sam for the most part at peace with the unknown , another coloured L.A. enigma is surely not far off .

Under the Skin (2013)

The 2013 sci - fi fantasia is still one of thehigh watermark of Scarlett Johansson ’s careerand A24 ’s entire catalogue . Even set   on the disconsolate street of rural Scotland , Jonathan Glazer ’s chef-d’oeuvre is deluxe and enthralling . And though the mysteries of Johansson ’s character , only referred to as The Female , are mistily revealed over the form of the story , audiences are still left to wonder what exactly just happened when the acknowledgment roll .

In a public where ever - expanding worlds reign supreme , A24 has a rich population to explore in   extra - sublunar   seductresses and motorcycle - rally handlers presented inUnder the Skin , and while Johansson ’s character may be gone , a raw harvest of beauties out to lure lonely men could throw some light for audiences eager for result .

Zola (2020)

Though theZolasaga seems to twine up neatly , there is more to her Twitter - published report than the picture depicts . Four Day after her rejoinder home , A’Ziah King ( the titulary Zola ) receive a call from her frenemy , Jessica , from a jail mobile phone . Arrested solicit sex in Vegas , she tell Zola that the pimp that orchestrated the wild Florida saga was wanted for kidnap 15 nonaged girls and was connect to 6 murders , including the one shown in the film .

He is presently serving a 16 - class term in prison house , and the real - aliveness Jessica jeopardize to sue Zola for defamation of character for outing her as a sexuality worker ( perVanity Fair ) . Though Zola ’s involvement with the story pretty much end after Florida , there is more than enough dramatic event around Jessica and her pimp for a sequel .
