Upcoming Movies

humanji

Out of sheer boredom, I signed up for the IMDB Pro trial (planning on quitting before they charge me. Seriously, $13 a month to find out what’s being made?) and thought I’d list some of the films that are in production at the moment. Some of these you may know, others you may not and others still you may not care about.

This list is in no particular order (at the moment, that might change).

Twilight Watch
The third part of the Night Watch trilogy. Probably more of the same, but sure the other two films were a bit of fun to watch.

Rambo V
Written and directed again by Rambo himself (Sylvester Stallone, not the character) so expect more violence and dodgy dialogue.

Death Wish
Again with Stallone writing, directing and starring in. It’ll probably be just like Rambo V but set in a city.

The Dam
OK, I looked up Stallones bio and got a load of films he’s making. Apart from a biography of Edgar Allen Poe (a horror version of Rambo?) he’ll also be making a sequel to Cliff Hanger, presumably set in or around a dam.

Ender’s Game
There are a lot of fans of this series of books. I’m not one of them, so I’m not going to bother writing anything of note for this. Look up Wikipedia if you have to.

The Stanford Prison Experiment
Some genius in the 70’s thought it’d be a great idea to throw a load of random people into a prison, set some as guards, some as prisoners and see what happens. Years later we have Big Brother every f*cking year, melting our brains. See where it all began.

Warcraft
Yes, that’s right, they’ve made a film about the Warcraft games. Not sure if it’s going to be based on the online game, or the original series. But considering the popularity of the MMO, it’s most likely based on the former. Will it be a success? Most certainly not, but I’m sure it’ll make a fair amount of money regardless.

Red Sonja
Another reboot of a craptastic film. This time Rose McGowan will play the titular (emphasis on tit) comic book character. It’s directed by Douglas Aarniokoski, who is Robert Rodriguez’s main second unit director, so he might of learnt something that will save this car crash of a film.

Tekken
Another game turned film. With Luke Goss, wrestler Nathan Jones and a cast of nobodies, how can it possibly fail? The answer is spectacularly.


The Green Hornet
Seth Rogen plays a mild mannered…blah blah…becomes superhero…blah, blah… To be honest, you’ve heard the same plot in every other superhero film. I’ve yet to meet anyone who is a fan of this character, so I can’t imagine there being anything other than greed behind this particular cash in.

Nine
How do you assure a great film? You don’t. And remaking a Federico Fellini film with Nicole Kidman, Penèlope Cruz and Kate Hudson will pretty much prove that point. But if you realise that you’re doomed for failure, you can somehow blackmail Daniel Day-Lewis, Judie Dench and Sophia Loren to be in it. It’s quite literally a toss-up if it’ll succeed or not (but I’m still siding with not!)

Tintin
For f*cks sack…

The A-Team
A film I’m actually looking forward to. Updated to follow Iraq War veterans on the run, John Singleton (Boyz In The Hood) is set to direct with Michael Brandt (3:10 to Yuma) working on a script. The latest rumours are that Bruce Willis is in negotiations to play Hannibal, Ice Cube to play BA and Woody Harrelson to play Murdock.

Beverly Hills Cop IV
Could it be a return to form for Eddie Murphy? Not bloody likely.

Spy Hunter
Based on one of the greatest games ever made (well, I thought it was), The Rock plays an ex-fighter pilot who’s given a super car and speeds vertically up the screen bumping into other cars and driving into trucks to get power-ups. What more could you want?

All Creatures Great And Small
The only info on this is that it’s an action film. So I put it here in the hopes that it’s a remake of the old TV series about vets in the north of England, but with explosions and tits, to fit in with the modern age.

Neuromancer
One of my favourite books is to be butchered for the big screen. It might be good, but it’s brought to us by the director of the Britney Spears video “My Perogative” and the film Torque. So actually, no, it won’t be.

Creature From the Black Lagoon
Creature Feature with Bill Paxton. You can’t expect much so I’m sure it’ll be a laugh.

The Saint
Hard to replace Roger Moore, but James Purefoy will give it a shot in this remake of the spy-type TV series thingy.

The Invisible Woman
Certain to be shìt.

Meg
Based on a book about a Carcharodon Megalodon (big crocodile) that eats things. That’s pretty much the whole plot.

The Seven Samurai
Because it hasn’t been remade enough.:rolleyes:

Eddie The Eagle
No, seriously, they really are making a film about him. Steve Coogan is set to play England’s first Olympic ski jumper.

Clash Of The Titans
I love mythology of all sorts so this remake is automatically a winner for me.

The World’s End
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg finish off their “Blood and Ice Cream” Trilogy. I’ve no idea what it’s about, but I’ll watch it anyway.

Plan 9
I’m not usually against remakes (usually just disappointed with human kind), but I’m dead set against this one. Plan 9 from Out Space was one of the worst films ever made and yet is a cult film. It’s so badly made and written that you will look on in disbelief, yet never be able to look away. So why the hell would they remake it? It’s a terrible, terrible idea.

The Legend Of Spyro
Based on the game about a little dragon jumping about and doing a load of trippy shìt. Some people just need a slap and to be told to cop on!

Clock Tower
Another game to film. I should probably just list all of these together under the banner “AVOID!!!”

Gamers
I added this one just to show the sheer stupidity of some of the film ideas out there. Synopsis:

Detectives Remy Munro and Margo Davis are hurled into the addictive and money making world of video games, where they attempt to track down a serial killer who re-enacts the methods of killing from popular video games.

Seriously, I’m not making this up. They’re actually in pre-production at the moment!

The Mandalorian Legacy
A biography of Boba Fett, from Star Wars. I’m sure it’ll be more exciting than I’m making it sound. So far I haven’t seen George Lucas’s name associated with it, so it still stands a chance.

Case 39
I got a copy of the script to read from a mate of mine and it’s like someone took the scripts for The Omen and Problem Child, mashed them together and decided the only way it could be made worse was by throwing Renèe Zellweger into the mix. Another one to avoid.

TR2N
A sequel to Tron! You heard me! Tron! A sequel! A sequel to Tron! It’ll be rubbish, but still, a sequel to Tron!

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li
Kristen Kreuk plays the titular eye-candy in yet another game turned film. Also starring Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog and Neal McDonagh as M. Bison, which has me curious about how surreal this will be. Definitely one to watch with mind-altering substances.

Edge Of Darkness
A thriller about a cop investigating his daughter’s murder. The plot may not be anything new, but it stars Robert DeNiro and Mel Gibson, so I’m wondering how this pairing will get on together.

Angels & Demons
Tom Hanks reprises the role of Robert Langdon in Dan Browns prequel to the DaVinci Code. It’s almost identical to the last book, but the fun comes in trying to figure out the ending as soon as you can. I did it after the second murder. Can you beat that? Ewan McGregor and Stellan Skarsgard co-star.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen
I guess we all knew this was coming. Same cast and same plot with more explosions.

Sherlock Holmes
Guy Ritchie is directing and Robert Downey Junior is starring. A bizarre mix, but hopefully it’ll pay off.

Untitled Sherlock Holmes Film
No sooner was Guy Ritchies version announced, that another Sherlock Holmes film is too. This one is a comedy with Sacha Baron Cohen as Sherlock and Will Ferrell as Watson.

Project A
I’m not sure if it actually is, but it currently looks like a remake of the Jackie Chan film. *Sigh*

Anchorman 2
Yep, that’s right, a sequel is currently being written. If you didn’t like the original then sod off and stop complaining that it wasn’t funny. YOU didn’t find it funny. That’s your problem. Keep bringing it up and I will cut you. I will cut you deep!!!!

The Hardy Men
I have to admit that I’m kind of looking forward to this. Ben Stiller and Tom Cruise play the adult Hardy Boys in this comedy.

Fantasy Island
A remake of the 70’s show that will have Eddie Murphy hammering the final nail into the coffin of his career, playing multiple characters with “hilarious results”.

Trouble Is My Business
Clive Owen will take up the role of Raymond Chandlers iconic PI, Philip Marlowe in this Frank Miller scripted thriller. Should be good. But then again Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull should have been good too.

The Jetsons
Robert Rodriguez directs this live action version of the terrible cartoon.

Barbarella
Another Rodriguez remake. This one has Rose McGowan (seriously, she must have some serious dirt on Hollywood to be getting so many roles), as the intergalactic space tart. If it’s anything like the comics or the original, it’ll be shìt.

Untitled 300 Project
It’s anyone’s guess as to whether this will be a sequel or prequel, but we do know that it’ll be full of homoeroticism and crappy slow motion, dragging out an overly long, gory comic adaptation.

The Brazilian Job
Sequel to the Italian Job remake, but this time they'll be in Brazil...doing a job...

The Evil Dead
A remake of the cult classic. Bruce Campbell is only producing so I don’t hold out hope for this.

The Thomas Crown Affair 2
Showing that nobody in Hollywood listens to people complaining about the lack of new material, Pierce Brosnan stars in this heist sequel.

The Hobbit 2
They haven’t even released the first one and the sequel is already in the works. Not sure if they’ve just split the original film in two or, (and I hope this is what they did) they’ve written a sequel themselves, bringing Bilbo and friends to modern day LA where they battle evil corporations hell bent on destroying the environment.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Jesus Christ!

Rendezvous with Rama
Morgan Freeman stars in the film adaptation of Arthur C. Clarkes novel. Freeman has been trying to get this made for years, so I kind of feel a pang of joy in my heart for him to finally get it done. That said, I thought the book was rubbish, so I doubt I’ll bother watching it.

Mortal Kombat
Christopher Lambert reprises the role of Rayden is this sequel to yet another game to film adaptation.

Metal Gear Solid
No doubt they just took the ten minutes of gameplay out of the last game and claimed it’s a new film. I can’t see this being in any way decent. And it sickens me that obsessive fans will clamber onto IMDB and rate it as the greatest film ever made.

Wonder Woman
Meh

Silver Surfer
It can’t be worse than Fantastic Four 2, can it?

The Sweeney
This is more like it. Jason Statham and Ray Wonstone are the leads in this remake of the classic tv show. Currently listed as “On Hold”, I hope it’s temporary.

Untitled Jason Bourne Project
Matt Damon jumping around, beating people up and dodgy cameramen giving us headaches with their Blair Witch style camerawork.

Crank 2
Yes, they’re making a sequel. No, it doesn’t make sense. Yes, it’ll be f*cking brilliant!

Hannibal The Conqueror
Vin Diesel directs and stars in this telling of Hannibal (the one with the elephants, not the one with the cigars. Although they both appear to love it when a plan comes together). Diesel has been trying to throw off his action star status for a while, so let’s see if he manages it.

Conan
Reboot of the Conan franchise with Scarlett Johansson (presumably not as Conan) if it’s anything like the game, we’ll enjoy the first 10 minutes and have to return to the cinema continuously for the next two years to find out what’s going on.

Akira
A two-part live-action version of the acclaimed anime comic. Like all anime, you won’t have a f*cking clue what’s going on. Leonardo DiCaprio is currently rumoured to be part of it.

A Nightmare on Elm Street
For some reason this is being remade. Probably a good thing, as I saw the original recently and couldn’t believe that it used to scare me shìtless.

Arrested Development
Film of the acclaimed comedy series. It’s going to be great, there’s no question of it.

Halo
Shìt film version of a shìt game

Jurassic Park IV
Obviously being made by someone who didn’t realise that nobody liked the last 2.



And to round things off, here’s a quick list of Marvel comic adaptations coming up:

The Avengers (2010)
The First Avenger: Captain America (2010)
Runaways (2011)
Thor (2010)
Iron Man 2 (2010)
Ant-Man (2010)
Doctor Strange (2010)
Sub-Mariner (2010)
Luke Cage (2009)
X-Men Origins: Magneto (2009)
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
Deathlok (2008)
Spider-Man 4 (2011)

And there's Superman: Man Of Steel coming out 2009, and also and untitled Superman film set for 2011.

I may find some more and add them later, or I might just lose interest and not bother. Who knows?

Preacher (set to be a tv series at the moment)

I seriously can't see that happening in a form that any way resembles the comics, the right-wing American christians would go absolutely bat-**** nuts. If The DaVinci Code caused that much controversy, how do you think Preacher's depiction of the descendants of Christ would sit with them? And that's only scratching the surface as to what would be considered supremely blasphemous.

Considering the studios neutered The Golden Compass for fear of offending people, I'd dread to think what an adaptation of Preacher could turn out like. Maybe Jesse Custer goes on a mission to confront the devil? I shudder at the thought.

DirkVoodoo

This is great, instead of crappy licensed games based on movies we are now getting a wave of (probably) crappy licensed movies based on games.

Is there any single original idea left in Hollywood?

The only one that sparked my interest on that list was the Arrested Development movie. Damn fox for cancelling it but at least we get one last hurrah!

bnt

Some of these are known and might have been discussed here e.g. TR2N, Rendezvous with Rama. The Tintin movie has been in the news a bit: Steven Spielberg is set to produce and direct it.

As for Rose McGowan in Barbarella... no dirt on Hollywood there, she's boffing the director. It's Geena Davis and Renny Harlin all over again.

A Neuromancer film has been proposed several times over the years, and William Gibson wrote a screenplay that leaked online. Robert Fripp (guitarist with King Crimson) was asked to do the soundtrack, back in 1988, before it fell through. If they make The Silver Surfer, I hope they get Joe Satriani in for that. :pac:

edit: If the Wikipedia article is correct, Tintin is going to be three films, with Spielberg and Peter Jackson both producing and directing, starting next month. It will be motion capture animation, so you'd expect Andy Serkis to be involved... and so he is.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. I knew it'd have to be cut down if it were to ever be released as a film, but it doesn't stand a chance on TV. But then again, the info on IMDB could be wrong, or it could indicate a mini-series, which would give it a little bit of room to breath.

Hollywood, he said - this sounds like a quirky Brit production, with Steve Coogan on board. Hollywood already did Cool Runnings. :rolleyes:

You want to talk Sacrilege, I have to say: how the hell do they propose to remake My Fair Lady? Can you name another Audrey Hepburn film that has been remade? There's a reason for that... can you imagine Lindsay Lohan trying to speak Cockney? What's next, a remake of Breakfast at Tiffany's? :eek:

monkeyfudge

I'm looking forward to the Tintin movie.

I've always been a big fan of the comics and Steven Moffat, the best writer for Doctor Who, wrote the screenplay.

No, it's a new one apparently. But I'd say you can easily claim it's a sequel, in the same way all the bond films aren't connected by plot, but are by characters.

The first one was good, second rubbish and the third had some good moments. So I'm thinking that it's possible I'll be able to sit through a fourth one.

Yeah, I just realised that. I was trying to think of comparisons and had a mix of Deep Blue Sea and Lake Placid in mind. Meh, it's still something big with teeth!

Well it's being scripted at the moment, but it may not be a total failure off the bat. Granted, the current writer wrote and produced several episodes of Star Trek: TNG, DS9, Voyager and also some episodes of Roswell, but he also wrote and produced episodes of Carnivale and Battlestar Galactica (the new series). So at least he knows Sci-Fi. Hopefully he can blend it with horror and make a new story rather than reboot/f*ck up the Carpenter version.

Actually a Preacher tv show on HBO was supposed to go ahead, but it never took off.

Coincidentally , just before seeing this post I saw this:

Confirms the series is dead, it seems even HBO are afraid to touch it!

The short version is:

a Texan preacher is imbued with the offspring of a demon and angel and he goes to hunt down God to make him answer for all his sins.

It's hilarious and very violent and incredibly blasphemous.

However I live in hope for the day a 4/5 series adaptation of 100 bullets is announced....A guy has to dream.
