Acclaimed Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard‘s latest film has moved up from a November release to an August one.

Thirteen Lives features a cast of actors who are definitely not lightweights in Hollywood by any measure. Viggo Mortensen will be prominently featured in the movie alongside fine performers Colin Farrell (coming off his fascinating turn as the Penguin in The Batman) and Joel Edgerton. Not too shabby a cast at all. This film is based on a true story which happened in 2018. A Thai soccer team of 12 players and its coach became trapped in a series of waterlogged caves without sufficient oxygen during the course of the events of the fact based film. Nobody makes tales of hope and inspiration like Howard does and this one promises to be the most exciting film of Howard’s recent directorial career. Meanwhile, Howard’s daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, has a little “art house” movie coming out this June called Jurassic World Dominion which is set to be released on June 10th. This summer is definitely looking like it could shape up as the season of the Howards, both artistically and financially. Mortensen will be making his bid for an Oscar nod with his work in Thirteen Lives and could stand a chance at Academy Award glory if his performance here lives up to his previous work. Mortensen is no slouch, however, and also has another upcoming high-profile release–David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future. This could finally be the year Mortensen wins that Oscar! Thirteen Lives is set for an August release, as previously stated, and will most likely re-establish Howard as one of the most formidable directors working in Hollywood today.
