Forthcoming film round-up!

[Elliot Kane]

So here's me, latest issue of Empire in hand, thinking soe of this stuff actually looks rather good, for a change. As I hadn't heard anything about a lot of this, I figure some of you guys & gals may not have either. So, here's a few things that have peaked my interest. Most are due in 2010 - in theory, at least...

Clash Of The Titans - sort of a remake, but more brutal and bloody, apparently. Stars Sam Worthington (Whoever he is, he looks very tough in the pic) with Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades.

Toy Story 3 - yes, really. It's actually on the horizon. Andy is just graduating, apparently. is this IT for the toys?

Jonah Hex - Western with zombies, based on a DC comic most people have never heard of, let alone read. IE the ones that usually make the best films.

Conan - still to be cast, so who knows? But a new stab at Conan is long overdue.

Alice In Wonderland - would be boring, but Tim Burton directs. That means freaky to the max. Should be interesting.

Prince of Persia: The Sands Of Time - yeah, video game = crap film, but maybe this one will make the difference. Jake Gyllenhall stars with Sir Ben Kingsley also in it, so the acting chops are there.

Predators - the official Predator 3. Will it be as good as the first two, or unwatchable dross? Who knows, right now...

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - the franchise was dropped by Disney and picked up by Fox, which pretty much showed who had read the novels and who hadn't, as Dawn Treader is by FAR the best novel in the entire series. Highly anticipated by me for this reason...

Changed the description for Jonah Hex to a DC comic.

For me the only film coming out next year that I want to see so far is Iron Man 2.

Oops! Thanks, SPS

That Sam Worthington guy was the co-star of Terminator 4.

Clash of the Titans looks pretty cool, and has an interesting cast.

Not so sure about Toy story 3. Second one wasn't nearly as appealing as the first, to me at least.

Looking forward to Alice. Alot! Amazing looking cast! And the screens I've seen so far look nice and weird as heck.

Some people I know don't think Jake Gyllenhall was the right choice for the prince, but I'm fine with it. Ben Kingsley could go either way for me too. Usually I like him, but he was in Blood Rayne after all.

Predators? Just as long as its not as terrible as Preditors Vs Aliens.

I'm actually glad Disney dropped it, after Prince Caspian (in which I was extremely disappointed - probably will never watch again if I can help it). And like you said, Dawn Treader was by far the best. FINALLY.

Here are the films I'm excited for in the next few months:

District 9- This film looks amazing. Very gritty, and realistic and pretty good looking CGI for only a 30 million dollar budget.

Inglorious Basterds- Death Proof sucked except for the two car chase sequences, I hope Basterds is a return to form for Tarantino.

Extract- New comedy by Mike Judge with Jason Bateman and Ben Affleck as a Stoner in it.

Zombieland- Woody Harrelson fights zombies. Need I say more?

The Road- Never read the book but this looks pretty good despite me not liking Viggo Mortensen.

That puts me through October of this year.
