<h3>Who will make your eyes light up in 2015? </h3>
Many viewers always go to "acquaintances" when choosing a film, watching Depp, Julie, Xiao Li and other stars that you are familiar with on the big screen or glamorous or unrecognizable, and then commenting on their performance this time is also a different sense of viewing pleasure. However, you can't ignore the joy of "digging up new people" in the theater, there are always a few characters who will steal the protagonist's style at once, making your eyes light up. These people are likely to be the rising stars of the future. At the just-concluded Sundance Film Festival, the time network reporter took a look at the excellent independent new films in 2015, and took stock of 10 new stars who are expected to shine on the big screen according to the performance in these films. In addition, two "older newcomers" were also presented to see which one can withstand the baptism of the film industry this year and become the next big name.

<h3>1. Adam Drever</h3>
Adam Drever's acting career began late because he was a U.S. Marine for three years in his early twenties. Wounded while serving in Iraq, he returned to California and began studying theater.
Previously, many people knew Drever because of the comedy "Sisters of Decline", and later he participated in films such as "Seven Days of Mourning". In 2015, Drever's luck came. He first starred in "Midnight Express" with Michael Shannon and Kirsten Dunst, and also as a priest in Martin Scorsese's "Silence". Of course, none of these films are as relevant as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and it is said that Drever will play the number one villain in the film. For an actor like Drever, who is "not handsome at first glance, not handsome at the second glance", his plasticity and charm are fermenting for a long time, and I believe that it is not far from the days of popularity.
<h3>2. Jack O'Connell</h3>
Jack O'Connell, who started acting a decade ago, didn't start to shine until this year's "Indestructible." The World War II-themed film was released on January 30 in the mainland, and audiences have a close understanding of his performance. To be selected by Julie to play such an important role, O'Connell's strength and potential should not be underestimated. The film also opened up more opportunities for him, and in 2015 he will appear in "Fanatical Tulip", working with Christopher Waltz, Judy Dench and many other powerful factions. At the same time, Judy Foster's new film "Money Monster" has also selected him to play an important role, which will be played against the old duo of George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and it seems that the 24-year-old Jack is very popular with female directors. In addition, geek director Terry Gilliam also invited him to participate in his new film "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote".
<h3>3. Melissa Rauch</h3>
I believe that children's shoes who have watched "The Big Bang Theory" will not forget the sharp-throated little wife Bernadette of "childlike giant breasts", and now Melissa is finally going to start marching to the big screen. She played the lead actress in the comedy film Bronze Star, which she wrote with her husband, Winston Rauch. The film premiered on the first day of the Sundance Film Festival and received a lot of praise. The film tells the story of an Olympic gymnast, when everyone can see Melissa show her soft body. If the film can also have a good performance after the official release, then Melissa is looking forward to developing in the direction of comedy talents like Kristen Wegg.
<h3>4. Logan Miller</h3>
If you're a veteran American drama fan, you'll have an impression of Logan Miller, who, as the star of My Rock Band, gradually moved from the small screen to the big screen, and in recent years he has played some small roles in some independent films, but all of them are silent. However, Miller's prospects for 2015 are favored by many. He worked on two films: The Stanford Prison Experiment and Take Me to the River. After the latter premiered in Sundance, Logan Miller's name began to be mentioned by many at the festival. His complex and profound performance impressed the 22-year-old. By October, Miller will also appear in Boy Scout vs Zombies, a horror comedy that has already been watched by many fans before it is released, and is said to be likely to be made into a series of films.
<h3>5. Margot Robbie</h3>
Margot Robbie from Australia entered the public eye for "The Wolf of Wall Street" and became a hot actress in Hollywood. After receiving the script last year, Margot will have her own small explosion in 2015. This year, viewers will first see her crime film Focus, starring Will Smith, followed by sci-fi films like Zechariah, in which she will work with Chris Pine. Even more icing on the cake is the Warner superhero film Suicide Squad, in which Margot will play Harley Quinn. But you won't be able to see the movie until 2016.
<h3>6. Olivia Cook</h3>
The biggest winner of this year's Sundance was "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl", which won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award, and caused a "rush", and finally Fox Searchlight bought the distribution rights. Searchlight's "Birdman" and "Grand Budapest Hotel" released this year combined to receive 18 Oscar nominations. Maybe this movie will also become a dark horse in 2015. And the Olivia Cook we're going to introduce is the heroine of the film.
Olivia has previously had a good performance in "Death Divination" and "Bates Hotel", this time she jumped out of the horror genre to take the literary route, and even shaved her hair for this new film. After this, I believe that her acting career will have a breakthrough. The British girl, who is not yet 22 years old, has an unlimited future. In 2016, she will also have her own big explosion, playing Tirzah in "Bin Hun".
<h3>7. Lola Cork</h3>
Less than three years after graduating from college, Lola Cork was already in full bloom in her career. The 24-year-old actress played Greta, the heroine's friend she met on the way to "Escape" in "The Vanishing Lover". 2015 was also an important turning point in Lola's career, starring in Disney's new film Fallen, an adaptation of a best-selling novel that Disney intends to make into a signature series similar to Twilight and The Hunger Games. Prior to that, Lola's more noteworthy film was "American Lover", which premiered in Sundance not long ago, and it is said that the response is great. Lola plays a lonely freshman in the film, whose life takes an unexpected turn for the worse because of an impulsive act by her sister. Fox Searchlight couldn't wait to buy the distribution rights to the film before Sundance even started.
<h3>8. Anna de Armas</h3>
One of the most popular films in Sundance this year is Keanu Reeves's new "Knocking on the Door", and this time the actress who partnered with the former male god is Anna de Armas. This thriller tells the story of a man who takes in two mysterious women in a storm, after which something unexpected happens to him... How the acting skills of this Cuban beauty are worth looking forward to. Armas is also featured in Robert De Niro's Stone Fist Duran. She will also collaborate with Keanu Reeves on a new film tentatively titled "Daughter of God." A series of three films have been supported by big-name actors, and 2015 was a good opportunity for Armas to shine.
<h3>9. John Boyega</h3>
John Boyega, 22, was born in London to Nigerian parents. Since confirming his participation in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the young man's attention has soared. Although there are still many plots and details in the film that have not been revealed, we already know that Boyega will play Finn in the film, and the scene of him escaping in the Storm Soldier suit has been shown in the previously exposed character card.
Boyega starred in the sci-fi comedy "Block Wars" in 2011, and the film did not cause much repercussions, but Boyega attracted the attention of many fans and directors. It is believed that after "Star Wars", Boyega will usher in a new peak of his career.
<h3>10. Hayley Steinfield</h3>
Hayley Steinfeld is no longer a "rising star", and she became a hit in the Coen brothers' 2010 "Earth Thunder", and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 15. It's a pity that little Hayley hasn't come up with any more satisfactory works over the years. 2015 may be a good time for her to get back to the top again. "Halloween" with Ethan Hawke is a very good acting work, and this work has just premiered in Sundance. In addition, another thriller film in which Hayley participated, "Term Life", is also about to be released. In 2015, we will also see Hayley in "Perfect Tone 2", and maybe she will sing in the film.
<h3>Plus 1. Mark Rylance</h3>
*In addition to the ten young people, two more "Older Group Newcomers" were presented to everyone. Late players should not be underestimated in Hollywood.
The nearly 55-year-old Mark Reirance is a big hit in the field of stage drama, and he has won three Tony trophies. Rylance has little interest in film and television, and over the past three decades he has only made cameo appearances or starred in small supporting roles in a few productions. But this spring, Rylance will play a major role in "Undercover Gunner," a film that brings together many others such as Sean Penn and Javier Baden. He also has a bigger move, that is, to join the "Spielberg unnamed New Cold War theme film", which will have many rival scenes with the film emperor Tom Hanks. It is said that Lao Si is also very satisfied with this drama bone, so he starred in another of his new works, "Dream Giant".
<h3>Plus 2 Ben Mendelson</h3>
Ben Mendelson, nearly 45, is also a late-bloomer, and many have noticed him because he has some resemblance to Gary Oldman. This Jun has a good performance in films such as "Outside the Pine Forest" and "Gentle Killing". You'll keep seeing him in 2015. Mendelson's mississippi game, co-starring Ryan Reynolds, has just premiered in Sundance, a road movie about a pair of gamblers. It is said that Mendelson's acting skills in the film are instantly dwarfed by the same group of actors. Mendelson also has big moves in the field of television. He joined Netflix's new show, Bloodline, which will premiere in March. He is also expected to join the team at In the Name of the Law as a co-producer.
