The summer of 2013 has a very impressive film line up with many genres for all types of moviegoers. There are many other films as well, such as “World War Z,” “The Wolverine” and “Fast & Furious 6,” so don’t just rely on this list. Make no mistake, these should be a high priority. Enjoy the sun, your vacations, and most of all, prepare for cinematic goodness.

MAN OF STEEL | Superhero | June 14

Zack Snyder (“300” & “Watchmen”) is bringing one of DC Comics’ most well known heroes back to the big screen. With Christopher Nolan (director of “The Dark Knight”) at Snyder’s side as a producer, and David S. Goyer (co-writer of “Batman Begins”) in charge of the film’s screenplay, re-telling the story of Clark Kent should be a truly amazing experience. Michael Shannon (“Boardwalk Empire”) will play General Zod, a villain that many people will remember from “Superman II.” Henry Cavill will play Superman himself, and with Laurence Fishburne and Amy Adams on board, this reboot shouldn’t disappoint.

PACIFIC RIM | SCI-FI | July 12

Guillermo del Toro’s (“Pan’s Labyrinth”) creative cinematic mind will explore the story realm of giant monsters vs. giant robots. In this summer blockbuster, giant monsters have spawned from the Pacific Ocean, from a portal between dimensions within the sea. The government chooses to fight off these creatures using giant, advanced technology robots piloted by two individuals at a time. As the war with the monsters progresses, more of these robots require back up. It is up to a former pilot and an untested trainee, making them the last hope for mankind against the monsters.

THE LONE RANGER | WESTERN | JULY 3

Gore Verbinski (“Pirates of the Caribbean”) will journey into the old west with a film adaptation of “The Lone Ranger” for a whole new generation. The film takes place around the time that locomotives were first invented, as John Reid ( plays “The Lone Ranger”) and his Native American Spirit Warrior “Tonto.” They must fight against criminals of greed and corruption in the old west. “The Social Network” star Armie Hammer will play the Lone Ranger, and “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Depp will play his sidekick Tonto. Helena Bonham Carter and Tom Wilkinson will also appear in the film.

MONSTERS UNIVERSITY | ANIMATION / COMEDY | JUNE 21

Disney & Pixar’s Mike and Sulley will return to the big screen… but in a past setting. This “Monsters, Inc.” prequel entitled “Monsters University” follows how Mike and Sulley met in college, and how they started off as enemies before they worked together at Monsters Incorporated, and later became friends for the original film’s events. Billy Crystal will voice Mike Wazowski again, and John Goodman & Steve Buscemi will lend their voices as Sulley & Randall, respectively. Dan Scanlon, another Pixar employee, will direct this prequel.

THE BLING RING | DRAMA | JUNE 14

Sofia Coppola (“Lost in Translation”) will soon release her next film, which is inspired by true events. “The Bling Ring” is about a group of fame-obsessed teenagers who manage to break into celebrity homes to steal their valuables. This was all possible for them through the Internet, specifically through sites like Twitter. The film will star Emma Watson & Leslie Mann. Paris Hilton will have a cameo appearance in the film.
