The most anticipated film trends of 2015.

This year, many large-scale projects will be revived, low-budget films could achieve box office success comparable to blockbusters, and filmmakers will focus on character types such as spies, superheroes, and warriors.

Mega-projects are being revived.

2015 saw the resurgence of blockbuster franchises that had spanned decades and garnered massive fan bases. The latest installment in the world's fifth-highest-grossing film series, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, will be released in the final month of the year.

Since its debut in 1977, the Star Wars franchise has spanned two trilogies and nearly half a century. The fictional universe revolves around wars between forces of good and evil in a galaxy far, far away. The new installment is directed by JJ Abrams, the creator of the Star Trek series. The story continues from the 1983 Star Wars film, set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi.

In the June blockbuster Jurassic World, the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park that haunted audiences throughout the 1990s will be resurrected after nearly 15 years of hibernation. According to the new plot, the dinosaurs will not only remain in the park but will also spread throughout the world, causing catastrophe. Actor Chris Pratt and actress Bryce Dallas Howard will star in the film, which is estimated to have a budget of $150 million and is directed by Colin Trevorrow.

"Jurassic World" is one of the blockbusters in this year's revival of the massive film franchise.

Along with the superpowers of Star Wars and the dinosaurs of Jurassic World, the infamous Terminator character from the Terminator series, which has been popular for over three decades since 1984, is making a comeback. The new film, titled Terminator Genisys, releasing in early July, will not only feature the return of veteran actor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role but also Asian actor Lee Byung Hun as the next-generation Terminator.

Late July also marks the release of the latest installment in the world's 15th-highest-grossing film series, Mission Impossible 5. This new spy action film is expected to help superstar Tom Cruise regain his former glory after a series of less-than-successful projects in recent years.

Spy movies are hitting theaters at the beginning and end of the year.

Multinational spies and undercover agents promise to be a genre that will stir up the big screen this year.

In October, the legendary secret agent James Bond returns in his 24th film, *Spectre*. This new project continues the collaboration between director Sam Mendes and actor Daniel Craig. French star Lea Seydoux and Italian actress Monica Belluci will play Bond girls. Producer Barbara Broccoli stated that the budget for the new installment will be higher than Skyfall. In 2012, James Bond 23 had an estimated budget of over $200 million and grossed over $1.1 billion.

Another spy-themed film from the UK, Kingsman: The Secret Service, was released on Valentine's Day. The film promises impressive special effects and is directed by Matthew Vaughn, who previously directed the successful Kick-Ass series. It also stars Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth.

Steven Spielberg's spy film project, Untitled Cold War Spy Thriller (also known as St. James Place), is set to be released in October and promises to be visually stunning and a box office hit. Set in the 1960s, the film stars Tom Hanks as an American lawyer hired by the CIA to rescue a pilot held captive in Russia.

Additionally, the spy film The Man from UNCLE by British filmmaker Guy Ritchie will also be released this summer.

James Bond returns in the film "Spectre".

Summer of superheroes and warriors

In early May, the blockbuster The Avengers: Age of Ultron will reunite audiences with the superhero team including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, the Hulk, and Black Widow. At the end of July, Ant-Man, played by Paul Rudd, will make his debut in the film of the same name. In early August, the four superheroes of The Fantastic Four will continue their journey to the big screen in a film directed by Josh Trank.

Warriors in a post-apocalyptic world continue to be popular characters this year. Most anticipated is the action heroine Katniss, played by Jennifer Lawrence, in the second half of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, releasing in November. This film promises to be a big hit this winter as it's the final installment and packs in all the anticipated dramatic moments.

Also aimed at teenage audiences, the sequel to Divergent, Insurgent, was released in March. A month earlier, action star Mila Kunis and warrior Channing Tatum reunited in Jupiter Ascending, released in February. The sequel to Maze Runner, Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, will be released at the end of September, continuing the adventures of the teenage warriors.

Two must-see high-speed action films of this summer are Fast & Furious 7 and Mad Max: Fury Road. While fans are already familiar with the adventures of the carjacking gang starring Vin Diesel and the late Paul Walker in Fast & Furious 7, Mad Max: Fury Road introduces a new, brutal adventure in the desert, set in a post-apocalyptic world. Furious 7 was released in April, while Mad Max: Fury Road hit the big screen in May.

These films may not be blockbusters, but they have the potential to be box office hits.

The romantic comedy Focus, starring Will Smith, will be released in February. The notable action-comedy Spy, featuring comedian Melissa McCarthy, will debut in May. The comedy Entourage, adapted from the popular television series of the same name, depicting the glamorous life in Hollywood, will be released in mid-June. At the end of October, the musical comedy Jem and the Holograms will bring laughter to the big screen.

One low-budget horror film project attracting attention this year is The Visit, set to be released in November. This is the latest work by M. Night Shyamalan, the Indian-American director famous for The Sixth Sense and Signs. The third installment of the popular Insidious horror series, Insidious: Chapter 3, will also be released in June.

In the children's animation genre, The Good Dinosaur, about the friendship between a young boy and a kind dinosaur, will be released in November and is considered one of the most noteworthy children's films of the year. The supporting characters from the Despicable Me series, the adorable yellow Minions, will reunite with children's film lovers in July. Mid-year – in June, the emotionally driven story of a young girl, Inside Out, will be released. While not an animated film, Pan, about a flying boy named Peter Pan in a fantasy world, also falls into the category of children's animation and will be released in July.

The live-action adaptation of the fairy tale Cinderella, released in March, marks the beginning of 2015's emotionally charged love stories. The British film Far from the Madding Crowd, adapted from the classic novel, will be released in May, promising an engaging love story set on a picturesque English farm. Meanwhile, the American-style romance The Longest Ride will be released in April.
