What movies are you looking forward to seeing?

MonaLeigh · Aug 21, 2007

I just got the new Entertainment Weekly Fall Movie Preview issue. There are a lot of good movies coming out! I went through and added most of them to my Netflix (which is now up to 188 movies!).

I'm looking forward to the new Jodie Foster, The Brave One, 3:10 to Yuma w/Christian Bale and Russell Crowe and We Own the Night (b/c of Joaquin of course). There were so many I can't remember.

Anything you're looking forward to coming out?

Pan's Labyrinth... I caught part of it the other night on cinemax but didn't watch it cause I wanted to get the whole story. So am eagerly waiting for it to show again.

30 Days of Night looks pretty cool from the trailer. As much as I can't stand Josh Hartnett I will probably see it.

I want to see the new Halloween but will most likely wait for video.

I want to see that too. I haven't heard much about it yet.

TrainofThought · Aug 22, 2007

Wild Hogs. It has been a long time since I went or rented a movie.

Simon Woodhouse · Aug 22, 2007

I'm looking forward to Control, a bio-pic about Ian Curtis, the lead singer from Joy Division.

3:10 to Yuma.

Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

No Country for Old Men.

mkcbunny · Aug 24, 2007

What childeroland said. 3:10 to Yuma-really, you could put Russell Crowe and Christian Bale together in a remake of The Banana Splits and I'd see it. No Country for Old Men: The Coen Brothers do Cormac McCarthy? Kind of a weird combo, but I definitely want to see that.

The new David Cronenberg movie, Eastern Promises. The new Julie Taymor Beatles movie, although more to see what she did with it than for the music. Shekhar Kapur's "not-a-sequel" Elizabeth pic with Cate Blanchett (again).

Shoot 'em Up, maybe. The Wes Anderson pic. Gone Baby Gone; I'll see pretty much anything set in Boston, among other reasons. American Gangster, Beowulf, I Am Legend, The Savages, There Will Be Blood. Probably The Seeker, and possibly The Water Horse; I'm a sucker for kids' fantasy.

And, possibly above all else, The Golden Compass.

I was looking forward to David Lynch's Inland Empire on DVD, but watched it last night and found it overlong and sometimes a chore to get through, despite some interesting, as usual, Lynchian things.

Saw 4

What?

Lyra Jean · Aug 25, 2007

The Golden Compass #1 if I don't see another movie I will see this one. Okay probably not on opening night but it will happen.

September Dawn
Yuma 3:15
Stardust

Strange, I saw the preview to this movie two years ago (I think; it could have been longer). Either it's been in the can awhile or there were some issues they were trying to work out.

The Jerry Seinfeld movie, Bee Movie, has also been around forever. I saw the trailer at least two years ago for that one, and it comes out this fall.

And I'm with you: cannot wait to see the return of the Coen brothers. IIRC, it'll be their first film since O Brother, Where Art Thou?* (Though they did write Intolerable Cruelty and at least one of them helped on Bad Santa, two films I found utterly hilarious.) This film looks like it's a return to Fargo-land, which is exciting to say the least.

* Just checked IMDB, and it looks like I forgot about The Man Who Wasn't There, another very solid film.**

** I'm rambling now, but Billy Bob is good in just about anything. Anybody see the movie Crystal? Unbelievable film. It was my favorite movie of 2006.

Bmwhtly · Aug 26, 2007

3:10 to Yuma.

Also, Doomsday (although that's not until next year)

maestrowork · Aug 26, 2007

Nothing comes to mind so far. But then again, I haven't seen the line-up yet. There are no must-see blockbusters or Oscar-baits so far.

BenPanced · Aug 26, 2007

Nothing intrigues me. It's all sequels, adaptations of books I haven't read/have read and didn't like, or remakes. Again.

childeroland · Aug 26, 2007

The studio recut 'Assassination' (or made the director do it) ala Warners with 'Invasion' after some negative test screenings. I know one shouldn't really judge from trailers, but the previews for this film look phenomenal. This film looks like a cult thing to me, like Malick's work, but then I love Malick, so...

maxmordon · Aug 26, 2007

Love in the times of Cholera

Spielberg and Jackson's Tintin adaptation

The Golden Compass

The live action Neon Genesis Evangelion Movie (I know it is quite possible that is going to be lame, but still...)

Sodenbergh's Guerrilla

Kristiina · Aug 26, 2007

Aside from all those new fantasy films (Golden Compass, Stardust, Seeker...), probably Vatanen's Hare.

French film, supposed to happen in Canada, filmed in Bulgary, starring Christopher Lambert, and based (sort of loosely, it seems) on a Finnish novel, Arto Paasilinna's The Year of the Hare. Arto Paasilinna's stories are in so many ways so very Finnish that it will be interesting to see how his story is seen by the French.

Hm. I should probably read the novel before I see that film. I have read it, but that was so long ago that I don't actually remember all that much. Apart from the fact that the character Vatanen doesn't exactly resemble the characters Lambert usually plays.

The book:

Halloween of course, 3:10 To Yuma and Saw IV

Lyra Jean · Aug 26, 2007

They are doing a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion movie. I'll watch that. But they better not change Shinji.

Naw, that's just a bit of a myth, Rose. They'll never get around to making that.

childeroland · Aug 27, 2007

I wonder if Spielberg is going to mix elements from various Tintin stories the way he was going to with Harry Potter.

Jackson adapting 'Red Rackham' and/or 'Unicorn' would be an awesome thing to see.

I don't know when it is coming out, but I am practically salivating over Dark Knight!

As far as I know is going to be a trilogy; so I see it in this way

Tintin in America
Cigars of the Pharaon
The Blue Lotus

the second film:

The Crab with the golden Craws
The Secret of the Unicorn
The Teasure of Red Rackham

The third film:

The whole two issues about the moon trip

I really hope that I am wrong and can include more books; but they can do anything they can as long is a good adaptaion as faithful as Sin City

Yeah they would never find a guy that would debase himself enough to play Shinji.
