Blank Room

Been a while since I’ve posted anything, well there’s hardly anything to tell about anyway. Well, I’ll tell you about movies this year because I’m such a movie lover! Keep in mind this is copy paste straight from the source!

The IMDB.com has 3,496 upcoming films listed for 2009. Taking in to account that about 70% of those will be pushed back, cancelled or buried away and never heard from again. From the remaining 30% I have picked what I believe to be the TOP 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2009.

10. Warcraft

Rumored with very little information but also one of the most inevitable movies due to the success of the online game of the same name. If you thought there were alot of nerds in line for Lord of the Rings, just wait until you see the mob of priests and paladins standing outside your local theater on that day.
9. Jurassic Park IV: Extinction

Trying desperately to make a real comeback, Jurassic Park is at it again only this time reenlisting the help of former JP actress Laura Dern to give it some story cred as if that will help. I still think my idea of having a T-rex eat Jeff Goldblum, crap him out and have scientists clone a Goldblum army to battle velociraptors would completely revive the series.
8. Friday The 13th

Jason’s back, again…but for the first time. Hoping for the success (if you can call it that) of fellow horror remakes like Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a studio has decided to retell the story of Voorhees but it is unknown if it will still just be his mother wearing the famed hockey mask. Oops…should have said “spoiler alert”.
7. Pee-Wee’s Playhouse: The Movie

I’m not sure if there will ever be enough time passed for us all to forget the Pee-Wee Herman theater incident but Paul Rueben is dusting of the grey suit anyway. Personally, I’d rather see Ruebens portray his character from the movie Blow and call it Derek Foreal’s Playhouse.
6. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Optimus and Shia are back with another surefire blockbuster with giant transforming robots and smart-ass-ery abound. I was okay with the first one and as long as they stick to what worked it should succeed. While more Megan Fox couldn’t hurt, this will most likely just be another fun, Michael Bay Movie-Reel-Of-Explosions flick.
5. Watchmen

Who’s watching the Watchmen in 2009? Anyone who wants an adult comic book movie with some actual depth and fantastic storytelling. Fanboys will be going crazy and if done correctly it could turn into something so unique that others will try to imitate it, albeit poorly.
4. G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra

Part of me wants to jump for joy will excitement over seeing my favorite toys of the 80’s reenacting all those battles I had on the bedroom floor when I was a kid, the other part wants me to hunt down and kill whoever made the decision to change the appearance of every character I cared about. I understand that some characters might be a little behind the times as far as their appearance but if this movie is taking place in the future, they could have at least left in the lasers.
3. Greyskull: Masters of the Universe

Like most movies starring Dolph Lundgren, it’s for the best if we just forgot they ever happened. This is not the He-Man you remember but from the sounds of it, you won’t care. It’s been said that this will be Lord of the Rings meets The Matrix with some Batman Begins thrown in. An edgy, almost R-rated version of itself. No jokes, no campy characters and absolutley no Orko, just a bad-ass combination of sorcery and high-tech weapons and even more bad-ass warriors.
2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine

After seeing a sneak peek at the trailer for this movie, I’m not entirely sure about it being an origin story. I happen to know a little about Wolverine and can’t see how the Blob, Emma Frost or Gambit fit into this part of the timeline. On the other hand…Gambit, Emma Frost, and Deadpool are in this movie so what the hell am I complaining about?! So honestly, I don’t care if it’s true to the comic as I have already read them and I am desperate for something new and something Marvel.
1. The A-Team

“In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A-Team.”

HELL YEAH. As long as they keep the casting under control and don’t go all Starsky and Hutch on this one it could be the movie I’ve been waiting years for. The only thing I don’t think I’ll be able to get past is someone other than Mr. T playing B.A. Baracus (especially if it’s Ice Cube who is rumored).

Well, next up, we shall see the top 50 upcoming movie of 2009.

We’ve spent days of our lives scouring the world for news of sequels that you may not have heard of. And here are 30 films in various states of production…

The domination of sequels in the big summer and winter schedules continues, and if the following - in particular order - is anything to go by, it’s going to carry on for many years to come…

The Brazilian Job: the follow up to Paramount’s US remake of The Italian Job is still on the cards, and it’s got a 2009 release date marked. Jason Statham, Mos Def, Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron are attached, as is director F Gary Gray.

I, Robot 2: All we know on this one is that it’s in the scripting stages still, with a potential 2010 release date planned in. No news on Mr Smith’s involvement.

I Am Legend 2: Warner’s huge Christmas 2007 hit could also have a follow up, although it’d be interesting to see if Will Smith returned to it. A 2010 release date is also being mooted for this one.

Beverly Hills Cop 4: If Die Hard can still do it at the box office, why can’t Axel Foley? Er, because the third BHC movie was crap, and a flop. Still, it’s not stopped development work going ahead on number four. No further news than that, though.

National Treasure 3: Not a huge surprise, but as the Nic Cage Indiana Jones knock off franchise has proved to be quite a juggernaut, you’ll only have to wait until 2011 for the third film in the series.

Cars 2: We spotted this on AintItCool – is Pixar really looking to make a sequel to its weakest film? Apparently so…

Toy Story 3: This one, after lots of umming and ahhing, appears to be a goer. It won’t, as was speculated, be a straight-to-DVD affair, and Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are both expected back on voicing duties. It’ll be out in 2010.

Jeepers Creepers 3: MGM is running the rule over a potential third instalment in the horror franchise, with director Victor Salva still attached. Hmmm.

Shrek 5: The fourth film was a no-brainer after the tepid third outing made so much cash. But a fifth instalment has also been confirmed. No wonder Shrek is the same colour as an American dollar…

Night at the Museum 2: Ben Stiller is returning for his most commercially successful role outside of the Meet the Parents franchise. We can wait. No news on the proposed Meet The Little Focker, though.

Crank 2: High Voltage: This is more like it. Crank is a guilty pleasure right up there with Snakes on a Plane, and it’s coming back for more. Shooting starts next month, for a 2009 release, and Jason Statham returns as Chev Chelios. As he should.

Transporter 3: Statham again. He’s making this too, and it’s in pre-production. Presumably, he’ll go from Crank 2 straight onto this.

Super Troopers 2: A sequel nobody asked for! Hurray! Expect it in 2010, as it’s in the early writing stages still, we believe.

Silent Hill 2: Sony is looking at a follow up to the crap-but-popular video game adaptation. 2010 is the current slated release date.

The Descent 2: We understand that Neil Marshall won’t be directed this one, which has the, er, working title of The De2cent. He’s attached as Executive Producer, with Jon Harris stepping behind the camera (he edited the first film, as well as the more recent Stardust).

The Grudge 3: Yup, it’s in pre-production now, for release next year. That’ll likely be the scariest thing about it.

Ice Age 3: 1st July 2009. That’s the date you’ll need to avoid if you want to miss the next Ice Age movie. Hopefully it’ll be better than the second one…

Ghost Rider 2: A surprise hit last year, Marvel is developing a follow-up to the Nic Cage comic book flick, and tentatively has 2009 marked for release. No director is thus far attached.

The Untouchables: Capone Rising: A prequel to Brian De Palma’s cracking prohibition thriller of, er, twenty years ago. De Palma is back behind the camera, and the project is in the pre-production stages now.

The Thomas Crown Affair 2: Weird, this. It’s taken them ages to do a sequel, and then they draft in Paul Verhoeven to direct a follow-up to someone else’s film. Pierce Brosnan returns, and filming starts shortly.

The People Under The Stairs 2: No sign of any Wes Craven involvement, though, and release may even be this year. Hmmm. We’d wager DVD will be its home.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor: Er, that’s what they’ve called The Mummy 3, which is out on 1st August. Brendan Fraser and Jet Li star.

Punisher: War Zone: Ray Stevenson becomes the third person to play The Punisher on screen. You’ll be able to find out how he did on 12th September this year.

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder: Casper Van Diem is back, but it’s still going straight to DVD, as the piss-awful second film did. It’s due out later this year.

Pink Panther 2: Oh dear. And I’m a Steve Martin fan. It’s out on 13th February 2009.

Ace Ventura 3: No Jim Carrey though, and no chance of it seeing the inside of a cinema. Head to Blockbuster later in the year if you want to catch it.

War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave: Another straight to DVD sequel, but this one’s of note because it’s directed by Soul Man/Hitcher star C Thomas Howell. Blimey.

Jurassic Park 4: It’s taken them ages to sort this out, but the latest is that Laura Dern is still attached, and that it’ll be released in 2009. Don’t hold your breath though, as shooting would need to start really very soon…

Scary Movie 5/Saw 5: You could have guessed at these if you didn’t know about them already. Both should see the light before the end of the year. Sadly.

Here are pictures of Optimus Prime and Megatron. I don’t know, but when I look at these, I see utter mess. To be honest, I much preferred the original designs from the comics/cartoons.
These guys all look like they’ve been put through a shredder. Megatron looks like a thorn bush. It’s like Unicrom ate him up and spit him out. It looks awesome but ugly at the same time.
