*** And Michael Fassbender as a young Magneto. That?
** "[http://www.411mania.com/siteimages/xmenfirstclassfirstpic_86604.jpg The cast shot] [[Tainted by the Preview|looks bad...]]" Cue [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8ccSiH4olo the trailer...]
* The fourth ''[[Mission: Impossible (film)||Mission Impossible]]'' is coming in 2011. You're still apathetic about it over Tom Cruise's unfortunate mouth-openings? Yeah, me t- ...[[Lost|Sawyer]] is gonna be in it?!? Well, hot damn!
** And [[Brad Bird]] is directing!
* [[Peter Jackson]]. Guillermo del Toro. ''[[The Hobbit]]''.
Line 127:
* The ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' movie will be directed by [[Sam Raimi]], of ''[[Evil Dead]], [[Spider-Man (film)|Spider-Man]]'' and ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess|Xena]]'' fame. ''YES''.
** And they explicitly told [[Uwe Boll]] to go fuck himself when he expressed interest in it. ''DOUBLE YES''.
* The ''[[Edge of Darkness (2010 film)|Edge of Darkness]]'' film adaptation. For some it was Mel Gibson and Robert De Niro (later replaced by Ray Winstone). For some it was Martin Campbell, director of ''[[GoldeneyeGoldenEye (film)|GoldenEye]]'', ''[[Casino Royale]]'' and the [[Edge of Darkness (TV series)|original miniseries]].
* It's recently been confirmed by Fox that there will be another ''[[Alien]]'' film. "Ugh, you got to be kidding me, '''another''' ''Alien'' movie? It better not be another crappy ''[[Alienversus Predator|AVP]]'' movie...HOLY SHIT!! [[Ridley Scott]] is directing! And it's a prequel! [[Prometheus|Redemption is at hand!]]"
** [[Divorced Installment|Then came]] [http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/01/14/alien-prequel-prometheus-ridley-scott/ this]. The title of the article says everything.
Line 152:
** It gets even better if you [[All There in the Manual|read the manual]]. Aside from Jordan Mechner's involvement, who do they get to help with the stunts? [[wikipedia:David Belle|David Belle]], the ''founder of parkour''. If that doesn't equal Epic Win, I don't know what does.
** The movie was released to middling reviews that place it in the [[So Okay It's Average]] territory. [[Broken Base|People are split over whether it's a perfectly decent summer action movie or whether it's a terrible confusing jaunt with an awful script.]] Sadly, this probably ''does'' make it the [[Video Game Movies Suck|best video game movie ever made]] -- or, as some people hope, the best made ''so far''.
* When Games Workshop announced the much-awaited ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' movie, the fan reaction was generally like "Meh, [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|Ultramarines]] [[Creator's Pet|again]]...", but then the people heard that [[Dan Abnett]] is going to write the script -- and there was much rejoicing.
** The voice acting talent includes John Hert, Sean Pertwee and ''Terrance Stamp''. Woweee!!
*** Amusingly enough, this won't be Pertwee's [[Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior|first]] [http://ultramarinesthemovie.com/ WH40K voiceover performance].
Line 185:
** Disney's doing ''The Haunted Mansion'' ''again''? Didn't you learn your mistake last--GUILLERMO DEL TORO! Let's face it, he makes everything better.
** Hmm, let's see...''Guillermo Del Toro!'' Your film is now [[Memetic Mutation|diamonds]]. It works!
* [[Pixar Regulars|Lee Unkrich]], you had all of us at '''[[Toy Story (franchise)||Toy Story 3]]'''.
** The threequel got yanked from Disney's direct-to-video departments? Yeee-hah!
** OK, so it's Toy Story 3; it's going to be good, but nothing's gotten me riled - wait, what's at 0:43 in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXqfS5l27ug this YouTube video]...HOLY CRAP IT'S [[My Neighbor Totoro]].
Line 209:
** What's THIS article? [http://www.slashfilm.com/ben-kingsley-mazer-rackham-enders-game/ BEN KINGSLEY IS PLAYING] {{spoiler|MAZER RACKHAM?}} Ticket please!
* 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]].
* It's been three years since the release of ''[[Grindhouse]]''. Not our fault that it failed in the box office since the Weinsteins released it on of all times, ''Easter''. [[It Got Worse|But then]] [[Executive Meddling|they had to]] [[Bad Export for You|split the two movies up in the rest of the world (without the trailers between movies)]] and [[Re CutRecut|on the Region 1]] home video releases (AGAIN, without the trailers between movies), [[Insane Troll Logic|destroying the reason why]] [[Robert Rodriguez|Rodriguez]] and [[Quentin Tarantino|Tarantino]] [[George Lucas Throwback|made it the first place!!]] Unless you have the money for the [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition|Deluxe Edition]] [[No Export for You|only released in Japan]], there's no way you can enjoy the original three-hour theatrical version of Grind...what's this about a [[DVD Bonus Content|"Don't" commentary]] [[Edgar Wright|Edgar]]? ''Grindhouse'' on Blu-ray? The theatrical cut on DVD and Blu-ray?! '''With ALL the fake trailers?!!!''' <ref>Plus the "Hobo With A Shotgun" trailer on Blu-ray</ref>. '''ALL IS FORGIVEN!!'''
* ''[[Resident Evil: Afterlife]]'' will probably give us more of that [[God Mode]]/BlackHoleSue that is Alice, so why bother? Wait, {{spoiler|CHRIS REDFIELD himself is ''finally'' in it?!}}
** Also, Sienna Guillory was announced to reprise her role as Jill after not appearing in ''[[Resident Evil: Extinction|Resident Evil Extinction]]'', although {{spoiler|she only appears in the last 30 seconds as a [[Sequel Hook]] under Wesker's mind control.}}
** After four movies of being absent, {{spoiler|Leon Kennedy and Ada Wong}} were announced for the fifth movie.
Line 218:
* Most fans were indifferent to the rumored ''[[Mass Effect]]'' movie, at best; as soon as [http://social.bioware.com/forum/Mass-Effect/Mass-Effect-News-and-Announcements/Mass-Effect-Movie-announced-2717410-1.html this thread] was posted, though...the people who made ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' and ''[[Watchmen (film)|Watchmen]]'' are producing the movie? Casey Hudson as one of the executive producers?! It'll be an original story NOT an adaptation of the game?!
* ''[[Bill and Ted]] 3''. [[Keanu Reeves]] and Alex Winter will be returning as Bill and Ted, with the original creator/writer duo of Chris Matheson and Ed Solomon as well. To further cement things, in an interview Winter said that the movie will retain the spirit of the originals without giving into "retro cynicism".
* Early response to ''[[The Last of the Mohicans|Last of the Mohicans]]'' (1992), especially among Native Americans: that [[Mighty Whitey]] film about [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|disappearing Indians]]? Based on an adventure novel about [[Noble Savage|Noble Savages]] written in the 1820s? One year after ''[[Dances with Wolves]]?'' DO NOT WANT. Featuring the [[Academy Award|Oscar]]-winning [[Daniel Day -Lewis|actor]] from ''My Left Foot''? Wait...''Russel Means'' is playing the title character? The leader of '''[[La Résistance|The American Indian Movement?]]''' <small>And he's wielding a [http://www.hotflick.net/flicks/1992_The_Last_of_the_Mohicans/992LMC_Russell_Means_003.jpg spiked club?]</small>
* They're finally making ''[[Rent]]'' into a movie? They'll ruin it, I'm sure...wait, WITH ALMOST THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL CAST?
* ''[[Queen of the Damned]]'' movie? Okay...Oh God, ''[[What the Hell, Casting Agency?|that's]]'' [[What the Hell, Casting Agency?|Lestat?]] Wait, and he's singing? It sounds great, though...OHMIGOD IT'S THE GUY FROM [[Korn]]! (and in fact the musical score is the only thing that had some impact and good reception in that movie)
Line 264:
*** [http://segabits.com/blog/2012/04/25/confirmed-eggman-to-cameo-in-disneys-wreck-it-ralph/ Eggman is confirmed?!?] (cue the Sonic fandom [[Broken Base|reuniting]] and wetting themselves in excitement)
** And then came the first [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHDQHVkYq4g trailer.] Disney's been [[Genre Savvy]] enough to include the [[One-Scene Wonder]] that the Villain Support Group is quickly building up to be. To quote a [[YouTube]] commenter<ref> from another uploaded version of the same trailer</ref>, "I GEEKED OUT COMPLETELY AT THE VILLAINS SCENE". If the movie wasn't hyped enough already, the physical faithfulness of Bowser's and Eggman's portrayals in the movie was more than enough to make said hype ''skyrocket''. Disney isn't messing around with this movie.
* ''*Sigh*''... they're doing another remake of ''[[Carrie]]'' just ten years after the last one. And [[Oh Crap|it's being made by Screen Gems]], at that. Uncreative imbeciles. Directed by Kimberly Peirce? Alright, ''[[Boys Don't Cry]]'' was pretty good, let's see who they're casting as... ''[[ChloeChloë Grace Moretz|CHLOE]] [[Kick-Ass (film)|GRACE]] [[Let the Right One In|MORETZ]] IS PLAYING CARRIE?'' Cool, at least now there's a chance this might ''not'' suck! Although it does make one wonder just ''how'' they're gonna be able to shoot the opening shower scene without [[Jail Bait|running afoul]] [[Paedo Hunt|of the law]].<ref>Moretz will be only 16 when the movie comes out.</ref>
** Wow, [http://themadbutcher.deviantart.com/#/d4uf9mm this] is a pretty cool fan-made poster of Moretz as Carrie. Kimberly Peirce [http://www.horror-movies.ca/2012/04/fan-made-carrie-poster-attracts-directors-attention/ likes it too]? Even cooler! Looks like she knows what she's doing.
* Why is [[Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy|Ron Burgundy]] making a random appearance on Conan? To anounce a sequel after 8 years? ''Great. Odin's. Raven.''
Line 272:
* Well, animated films have been getting better lately. All we need now is for good ol' [[Aardman Animations|Aardman]] to get back in the game. That ''[[Arthur Christmas]]'' movie they're doing COULD be all right, but you can tell from the trailer that it just won't be the same... wait, what's this? They've got another movie coming out in 2012? Called ''[[The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!]]''? It's in stop-motion? It's got Hugh Grant, [[David Tennant]] and [[Brian Blessed]] doing voices?!? ''[[Chicken Run|PETER FREAKING LORD]] IS DIRECTING?!?!'' Dreams ''do'' come true!
* [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[The Stand]]'' is being made into a feature film, directed by [[Ben Affleck]], and will apparently be released in ''three installments'', a la ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|Lord of the Rings]]''?
* So they're making an ''[[Expendables]]'' sequel? Cool, who's joining? [[Chuck Norris]]? [[Jean -Claude Van Damme]]? Excellent... wait, was that [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold]] firing a gun? ''ARNOLD'S BACK!''
