Dimitra Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 A year full of promising and anticipated films. It has it all. Blockbusters like Harry Potter 6, New Moon, new films from acclaimed and beloved directors like Woody Allen, Ang Lee and Martin Scorcese, comebacks after a long time for directors like Jane Campion and James Cameron and, like every other year, it will have its indie surprizes. Personally, I can't wait for Jane Campion's new film, "Bright Star", a romantic drama about the affair between poet John Keats and his muse Fanny Brawne. Also, I'm looking forward to the bitersweet indie comedy "500 Days of Summer", Harry Potter and the new Scorcese film So, what about you? Is there a film that you can't wait for and is set to be released this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The new Star Trek film - it looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busy91 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The new Star Trek film - it looks awesome! Yes, that and the Harry Potter films are the only 2 I'm really psyched about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm looking forward to Scorcese's Shutter Island, and also the Sherlock Holmes movie w/Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. It'll be interesting to see how Ritchie does this kind of film since he seems mainly to do British gangster type stuff (which I love too). There was a movie that the Coen bros filmed here in town which I'm hoping comes out this year, but other than that I haven't paid attention to what some of my other fave directors are doing. I need to get on that! I do know that a lot of the films I like tend to come out more in the autumn so I guess I have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggiesfan Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I am looking forward to the new Terminator film it looks really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelygirl18 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 ooo i agree with the terminator film! as well as the new X-men movie i've already seen a hand full of 2009 films already (here in the US) and they have been pretty good, so hopefully those will too!

Mac Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well, frankly, I'm looking forward to everything you guys have mentioned (particularly Star Trek (I hope this doesn't make me sound sad!)) I'm also looking forward to Sherlock Holmes, having read the books. Love 'em, I do. Wolverine'll be excellent, all being well. Here's hoping, anyway.

chrysalis_stage Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Looking forward to star trek film I'm looking forward to the stargate atlantis film too but don't think that coming out till 2010 My brother loves x-men and has ripped the new film on wolverine apart without even seeing it, something about him not having his claws when he was young as shown in the film....:S Im looking forward to seeing Let the right one in & Outlander - trailers looked good! Really looking forward to sincity 2 but have no idea when it's due, should be soon surely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I can't wait to see the 'Star Trek' movie, it look fab! and 'Wolverine~Origins' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlette Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Harry Potter, also. And The Reader, which is probably old news by now, but it's only just opened over here and I'm looking forward to seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And The Reader, which is probably old news by now, but it's only just opened over here and I'm looking forward to seeing it. The Reader was amazing, Scarlette - I loved it! Let us know what you think after you see it. I know that I'm going to be seriously avoiding the Land of the Lost remake this year. I grew up watching that TV show and I just don't want to see something I loved so much get changed. Why do they feel the need to do all these remakes, anyway??!

lovelygirl18 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Oh all you Wolverine fans, I have the movie! It came out on the website I download movies from!! Amazing quality too! Can't beat two months in advance! (don't worry I pay for my movies online! lol) I'm no stealer Edited April 1, 2009 by Kell added capitals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDR124 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 HP and Wolverine are probably the most expected and for me the most frightening: I fear they couldn't be up to my expectations. Another film could be Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but checking it on Imdb it seems in stale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitra Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 There was a movie that the Coen bros filmed here in town which I'm hoping comes out this year Ah yes, you're talking about "A Serious Man". It does come out this year. Am I the only one who isn't looking forward to "Star Trek"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDR124 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Errata corrige: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is due to be released in 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ah yes, you're talking about "A Serious Man". It does come out this year.Am I the only one who isn't looking forward to "Star Trek"? Yes! A Serious Man, that's right. Can't wait!! I love the Coens. I'm tempted to see the upcoming Adventureland, and also Where the Wild Things Are might be okay but I'd be afraid of it being disappointing since I love the book so, hmmm... I did a little searching, and apparently another one of my favorite directors Wes Anderson has Fantastic Mr. Fox coming out in November so I'm hoping to see that, and Philip Seymour Hoffman is going to be in The Boat that Rocked, which looks hilarious. I don't know if I'm looking forward to Star Trek, Dimitra, but if someone wanted to buy me a ticket I wouldn't refuse it, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally80 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 The Reader was fantastic, quite excited about Harry Potter - def not about New Moon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm dying to see New Moon. I know they said they had to revise it because in the book Edward is gone for quite a length of time. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with that. Also, New Moon had a genuine climax which worked really well, rushing to save Eddy. That could be spectacular, assuming it's actually filmed well/in Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article at examiner dot com about how they plan to address the issue of Edward being gone for a lot of the book. Can I post the link?
