Some day, I think, we will all be able to once again, at our leisure, leave our houses, go shop at a store, eat at a restaurant, attend a sporting event, and visit a movie theater. That is going to happen, right? Right?
Okay, so with that bit of business taken care of, and movie studios still cranking out updates, rumors, stills and trailers for films that we will actually get to watch some day, filmmaker Scott Derrickson got the ball rolling on Twitter with what movies he’s most excited to see once we can all get back to normal.
The movies I most want to see when theaters reopen are DUNE and TENET.

Tenet is supposed to be released on July 17th. Fingers crossed we’re all out of the house by then.
Someone on Twitter pointed out that Tenet director Christopher Nolan has acquired all of the Infinity Stones with his films.
• Space: Interstellar
• Mind: Memento
• Time: Tenet
• Reality: Inception
• Soul: Insomnia
• Power: The Dark Knight
Yep, we all have way too much free time on our hands.
Let’s see what other films people are most looking forward to seeing, shall we? We shall.

I was looking forward to The Eternals too
