* So ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'' was pretty great, huh? It's a shame we never found out who the master of that creepy guy who gave Loki his army was, but oh we-...oh, here he is! Wait, did he just mention {{spoiler|"courting death"}}?! Oh my God, is that {{spoiler|Thanos}}?! HELL YES!

* The trailer for ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]''. The fact that they salvaged a good song from ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]]'' and made it [[Crowning Music of Awesome|even more awesome]] really says a lot.

* Interest in a [[Sequelitis|fourth]] ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie was fairly low until it was revealed it would be a new story ejecting everything apart from [[Johnny Depp]] and Geoffrey Rush, whose awesome-cred had survived the [[Broken Base|third film intact]]. The departure of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley was mostly welcomed, but not as much as the news that movie would be based on [[Tim Powers]]' book ''On Stranger Tides'' which had inspired both the first Pirates movie and also ''[[The Secret of Monkey Island]]'', which is often heralded as also inspiring the series. There is now much greater interest in the project.

* A [[Double Subversion]] occurred with ''[[Interview with the Vampire]]''. The initial subversion was when [[Tom Cruise]] was cast as Lestat, [[WTH?

Anne Rice saw the final cut of the movie and publicly took back all of her complaints about the casting, telling her fans they would love it.

* Marvel's ''[[Runaways]]'' film was met with the normal amounts of trepidation. However when the casting notices failed to mention that Nico was Asian American you could almost here the collective fandom about to draw breath to scream. However, before they could Marvel issued another press release specifically stating that they were looking for an Asian American actress and the press release would be adjusted accordingly. This not only gave the fandom the idea that Marvel were trying to stay true to the original comic but [[The Last Airbender|it wouldn't be a repeat of other recent adaptaions]].
