Upcoming Movies - Want To Watch?

[ItchyFeetPinay86]

I really can't wait for Year One to come out! I love Jack Black and that guy from Juno too!

 

[skullworm]

Zombieland...

 

Promising zombie comedy. Could be our next Shaun of the Dead.

 

Daybreakers...

 

Ethan Hawke, Sam Neil and Willem Dafoe. A seemingly smart vampire movie that has traces of "True Blood" in it. This might be just what I need to get the taste of that "other" vampire movie out.

 

Spoilers... I hear that the upcoming Twilight movie was re-written with this new ending:

Akira:

A remake announced early last year may finally be moving forward. Screenwriters Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus (Iron Man) have come aboard to write the Akira remake. The remake was announced in February 2008, but there has been nothing new reported on the film since then. News has been slim on the film because the writers have been trying to perfect the script, and the writing duo are about to hand in their script in the near future. It was also confirmed that the story was still to be set in a post-apocalyptic Manhattan in the near future. If the script meets approval, it was said that the film could go into production next year for a 2011 tentpole release. We'll keep you posted as soon as more information is known on the film.

Halloween 3D:

Patrick Lussier ("My Bloody Valentine 3-D") is in talks to write and direct the recently-announced "Halloween 3D" for Dimension Films. The film, which would continue the story of serial killer Michael Myers, would aim for a release next Summer. The short turnaround time was a key reason why the franchise's current helmer Rob Zombie will not be returning to the director's chair.

 

 

 

Suspiria (remake):

David Gordon Green’s remake of Suspiria will begin shooting next year. This consciousness-altering bit of movie news was discovered by The Playlist. Green, who has managed to maintain his indie cred (Snow Angels) and establish box office pull and mainstream cachet (Pineapple Express)

Resident Evil 5:

While Sony Screen Gems is prepping for Resident Evil 4: Afterlife, the 3D sequel slated to arrive in theaters August 27, 2010, Bloody Disgusting has learned exclusively (and confirmed) that the studio is already looking forward to the fifth film. While Milla Jovovich is confirmed for Afterlife, it's got to be getting expensive and (increasingly) difficult to keep her onboard, even though she is married to producer Paul W.S. Anderson. Instead of moving forward with the ongoing story, the studio is planning a quasi-reboot, which is tentatively titled Resident Evil Begins. While it's a long, long, long way off, the idea is to redo the story of a special military unit who fights a powerful, out-of-control supercomputer and hundreds of scientists who have mutated into flesh-eating creatures after a laboratory accident.

 

 

 

30 Days of Night: Dark Days

Ben Ketai has been tapped to direct 30 Days of Night: Dark Days, a story from both Steve Niles and Ketai. Shooting is already slated to begin this October in Vancouver, Canada.

In the sequel, Stella joins a group of vampire hunters in order to get revenge on Lilith - the vamp responsible for the attack on her Alaska town. Ketai wrote directed the web series "30 Days of Night: Blood Trails" and "30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust."

Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 : On Stranger Tides

http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/4537/zz3bdf00aa550x219.jpg

 

 

At the D23 Disney Fan Expo, Walt Disney Studios unveiled the logo/title for the fourth film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Johnny Depp, will reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow.

 

Disney is on the verge of putting "Chicago" and "Nine" director Rob Marshall as the director of a fourth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean,” a move that puts the film on track for a 2010 production start, with Johnny Depp back as Captain Jack Sparrow.

 

There hasn’t been a director at the helm of the pirate ship since April, when Gore Verbinski stepped out to focus on a movie version of the vidgame “Bioshock” for Universal (Daily Variety, April 7, 2009). Though that film’s lost some momentum, Verbinski has moved on to other directing and producing projects.

 

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney have been meeting with a number of directors in recent weeks, because the studio wants to pull the “Pirates” film together and have Depp star in it before he does “The Lone Ranger” for the producer and the studio. While Marshall’s involvement wasn’t immediately confirmed, sources said things look good enough that the studio has begun casting new characters that will appear in the picture.

Toy Story 3:

http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/9342/toy3tsrposter.jpg

 

Toy Story & Toy Story 2 director, executive producer of Toy Story 3 and Disney President John Lasseter had some announcements to make regarding the cast of TS3 earlier today.

 

First, it was announced that John Morris, the boy who voiced Andy in the first two Toy Story movies, will return to be the voice of the now 18-year old Andy (Morris is 24-years old).

 

Next up is Whoopi Goldberg, who has lent her voice to many animated movies over the years, including The Lion King, The Rugrats Movie and Racing Stripes. This will be Whoopi’s Pixar debut. It was not revealed which character she will voice.

 

It was also confirmed that Timothy Dalton with be the voice a hedgehog named Mr. Pricklepants, a character described as a toy with thespian tendencies.

 

Jeff Garlin will make his return to Pixar. Garlin, probably best know for his role on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, was the voice of Captain McCrea in WALL-E.

 

Pixar veteran Bonnie Hunt is the next voice to be announced. She has already appeared in A Bug’s Life, Monsters, Inc. and Cars.

 

Finally, Ned Beatty has been cast as the voice of a new character in TS3.

 

Some other names that have been previously announced include the return of Tom Hanks as Woody and Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear, Michael Keaton as the doll Ken, Joan Cusack, John Ratzenberger and Don Rickles.

 

 

Earlier in the week, Mr. Lasseter also gave a crowd a sneek preview of some footage from Toy Story 3.

 

The clip showed Andy packing from college, and emptying all his toys into a black bin bag for storage in the attic. He hesitates over Woody and Buzz, finally putting Woody in the box of things to take for college. But all the toys are panicked – especially Woody, who’s worried for his friends. When Andy is distracted by his little sister and leaves the garbage bag on the landing instead of upstairs in the attic, his mother takes it out to the kerb – and a frantic Woody has to save his friends from a rapidly approaching bin lorry…..Clearly the toys end up being sent to a daycare centre, where they are horribly abused by the little kids – and after that it’s time for a break-out attempt to find a safe haven, and hopefully a new owner, in a cruel world.

 

Toy Story 3 will be in theatres on June 18, 2010.

 

 

 

Cars 2:

The story sees Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson), his pit team and new pit boss Mater head around the world for the Race of Champions, to take place in five different countries and involve the champions of different disciplines like Formula One and rally driving. First up is a race in Tokyo, starting at Mount Fuji and heading downtown; then there's a German race through the Black Forest; then "Porto Corsa" in Italy, which is based partly on the Monte Carlo Grand Prix; then a 24-hour race around Paris (so somewhat like Le Mans then) and finally a thrilling climax in London, approaching Buckingham Palace (where the guards appear to be Land Rovers).

 

But all this racing is not the only focus. Mater, who we know from the series of cartoon shorts Mater's Tall Tales (more on that in our blog in a minute) is prone to exaggeration, gets involved in a "Hitchcockian" case of mistaken identity, saves the life of a British secret agent called Finn McMissile (who looks a heck of a lot like an Aston Martin) and becomes embroiled in a huge spy thriller. Only no-one believes him. That too comes to a head at Buckingham Palace.

 

 

 

Hancock 2:

Will Smith and Charlize Theron are set to return for the "Hancock" sequel according to director Peter Berg in an interview with MTV News. Speaking earlier this week, Berg was asked about the two stars participation to which he replied "everybody's going to come back for a sequel."

 

Berg was set to direct and scribes Adam Fierro ("24," "Dexter") and Glen Mazzara ("The Shield") were penning a script that Smith was in consultation for. Story wise, Berg also revealed this week that the film will see a third immortal god enter the storyline and he already has "so

Waltz is most likely replacing Nicolas Cage who bowed out the other week of the currently shooting superhero action/comedy which stars Seth Rogen and Cameron Diaz.The Green Hornet has just recently starting shooting for its December 17, 2010 release.

 

 

 

Red Dawn (remake):

Jeffrey Dean Morgan ("Watchmen," "P.S. I Love You") is in final negotiations to join the cast of the remake of the 1984 John Milius cult classic "Red Dawn" for MGM/UA. Morgan will play the leader of the U.S. Special Forces team who discovers the teens' stronghold while behind enemy lines. Morgan essentially takes over the role played by "Deadwood" star Powers Booth in the original.

 

The story follows a group of teenagers who band together to fight back when their home town is invaded by an joint force of Chinese and Russian soldiers.

 

Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki, Josh Hutcherson, Isabel Lucas, Connor Cruise and Edwin Hodge star in the remake being directed by Dan Bradley. Filming will begin shortly in Detroit for release next September.

Determined to redeem himself, Kane swears to live a life of peace and goodness but is forced to fight once more when a dark power threatens the land.

 

 

 

A Christmas Carol:

Ebenezer Scrooge (JIM CARREY) begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, barking at his faithful clerk (GARY OLDMAN) and his cheery nephew (COLIN FIRTH). But when the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take him on an eye-opening journey revealing truths Old Scrooge is reluctant to face, he must open his heart to undo years of ill will before it's too late.

Thor:

Jaimie Alexander ("Kyle XY") and Colm Feore ("Chicago") have joined the cast of the comic book adaptation "Thor" for Marvel Studios.

 

The Mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior God is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment for his recklessness. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

 

Alexander is playing Sif, a skilled Asgardian warrior who can hold her own against any man and is one of Thor's loves. Feore's character will be a villain but details are being kept secret. Already cast are Tom Hiddleston as the god of mischief Loki and Natalie Portman as Thor's human love interest Jane Foster. Kenneth Branagh directs the epic fantasy due for release in 2011.

 

 

 

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe:

He-Man may have found a new home. Just weeks after “Masters of the Universe” parted ways with Warner Bros., the Mattel toy property is in negotiations to be preemptively picked up by Columbia with Escape Artists attached to produce.

 

After months of deal-wrangling, Warners picked up “Universe” in 2007, hiring several writers and earlier this year set John Stevenson to direct. The two companies eventually began seeing two opposing visions for the movie and when the option came up, both sides decided to let it lapse. Stevenson is no longer attached and the project would be built from the ground up.

 

The 1980s show, named “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe,” followed a blond warrior named Prince Adam who, when uttering the magic words, "By the power of Grayskull -- I have the power," turned into the heroic He-Man. He and his allies -- Battle Cat, Man-at-Arms and Orko -- defended their planet Eternia from the evil forces of Skeletor, who tried week after week to conquer the fortress Castle Grayskull, which imbued He-Man with his powers.

 

 

 

Ghost Rider 2:

Columbia Pictures has begun to rev the throttle on a second installment of the Marvel Comics character “Ghost Rider.” David Goyer is in early talks to create the story and supervise writers for a film expected to once again star Nicolas Cage, who played the highly flammable cyclist in the 2007 original.

 

Through a spokesperson, Goyer said he hadn’t signed on yet. But plans are already under way to base the sequel on a “Ghost Rider” script written years ago by Goyer, whose superhero work includes hit screen transfers of DC’s “Batman Begins” and Marvel’s “Blade” franchise. The original “Ghost Rider” was scripted by director Mark Steven Johnson.

 

 

 

The Host:

Producers Nick Wechsler, Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz have used their own money to acquire screen rights to “The Host,” the first adult novel written by Stephenie Meyer, author of the “Twilight” series. Andrew Niccol will write the script and direct.

 

Meyer’s novel is a love story set in the near future on Earth, which has been assimilated by an alien species that call themselves “Souls.” They are benevolent parasites that subsume the conscious of humans and take possession of their bodies. One such soul, The Wanderer (so named because she has wandered among so many different worlds) is fused with a dying human named Melanie Stryder, in an attempt to locate the last pocket of surviving humans on Earth. The Wanderer cannot subsume the forceful Melanie, and they battle for the girl’s memories and her spirit.

 

 

 

Jack the Giant Killer:

Bryan Singer will direct Jack the Giant Killer for New Line Cinema and Legendary Pictures. The film is described as a fantasy adventure written by Mark Bomback (Live Free or Die Hard), telling a story set in motion when a princess is kidnapped, threatening a long-standing peace between men and giants. A young farmer is given an opportunity to lead a dangerous expedition to the giants' kingdom in hopes of rescuing her. Darren Lemke penned the original draft of the script taking a more adult angle at the popular Jack and the Beanstalk tale.

 

 

 

The Social Network:

Columbia Pictures and director David Fincher have set its core cast for “The Social Network,” the Aaron Sorkin-scripted drama about the formation of Facebook.

 

Jesse Eisenberg will play founder Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake will play Sean Parker, the Napster co-founder who became Facebook’s founding president, and Andrew Garfield will play Eduardo Saverin, the Facebook co-founder who fell out with Zuckerberg as the social network became a financial juggernaut. The pic focuses on the evolution of Facebook, the social network created in 2004 on the Harvard campus. And how overnight success and wealth changes the lives of the classmates who created it. The trio were the subject of internet rumors as Fincher zeroed in on his leads.

 

 

 

Highlander (remake):

"Fast and Furious" director Justin Lin and producer Neal H. Moritz are re-teaming for the upcoming remake of cult classic "Highlander" for Summit Entertainment. Summit's film will expand on the original Highlander's core mythology and according to the press release the plan is very much to "spur a new franchise for the studio". Art Marcum and Matt Holloway ("Iron Man") are penning the script while Peter Davis will also produce.

 

In "Highlander", after centuries of dueling to survive against others like him, Connor MacLeod, an immortal Scottish swordsman must confront the last of his kind, a murderously brutal barbarian, who lusts for the fabled Prize.

 

 

 

The Other Guys:

Dwayne Johnson, Samuel L. Jackson and Steve Coogan will star in the Columbia Pictures comedy The Other Guys, to be directed by Adam McKay. Johnson and Jackson will play super cops in the film. Coogan is set as the villain. They join the previously-announced Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Eva Mendes, Michael Keaton and Damon Wayans Jr. Johnson and Jackson will play an elite cop tandem whose exploits are the envy of the department and the second-tier fellow cops played by Ferrell and Wahlberg.

 

 

 

A Nightmare on Elm Street (remake):

A contemporary re-imagining of the horror classic, a group of suburban teenagers share one common bond — they are all being stalked by Freddy Krueger, a horribly disfigured killer who hunts them in their dreams. As long as they stay awake, they can protect one another. But when they sleep, there is no escape. Jackie Earle Haley replaces Robert Englund as Freddy.

The Fly (remake):

David Cronenberg is returning to "The Fly." The auteur will develop a reboot of the 1986 classic with Fox, the studio that released that film, directing and potentially writing the new pic. The move marks an about-face for the Canadian director, who in the past has said he did not want to be involved on a remake of the film. Cronenberg did work on an opera version of "The Fly" that was staged first in Paris and then in Los Angeles.

 

The 1986 title, itself a remake of Kurt Neumann's 1958 sci-fi classic, starred Jeff Goldblum and became a huge hit for Fox, earning $40 million and turning into a phenomenon. It centered on Seth Brundle (Goldblum), an eccentric scientist who, after an experiment with teleportation goes awry, is transformed into a fly. Geena Davis starred as Goldblum's love interest and partner, Veronica.
