Most Anticipated Films Of 2010
3 CommentsNext year promises to be a great one. There’s lots of buzz in several categories, along with your usual suspects like Harry Potter to stranger ones like Daybreakers.
Daybreakers (January 8, 2010)
The world is over-populated with vampires and humans are on the brink of extinction, threatning the survival of every vampire on earth. This movie looks amazing and is one of my top most anticipated films for next year. If you’ve seen the preview and you’re wondering what that amazing song was, it was a remake of “Running Up That Hill” by Placebo.
Alice in Wonderland (March 5, 2010)
If there’s any director out there that can do justice to the Alice in Wonderland story it’s Tim Burton. Only he could ever design this film to be as accurate of a film adaptation as it could be. Along with a strong cast, including Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Cater, this film is gonna be pure gold.
The Expendables (April 23, 2010)
There’s been so much buzz around this movie since it was announced and names began circling the web with possible cast members. Written and directed by Sylvester Stalone, this film stars pretty much every action celebrity known to man. Stalone himself, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Jet Li, Jason Statham, and many more are set to make an appearance.
Iron Man 2 (May 7, 2010)
Simply put, the first Iron Man was fantastic. It kicked ass. The sequel is bound to kick even more ass.
Robin Hood (May 14, 2010)
Ridley Scott definitely has a style to him, and he’s obviously developed quite the relationship with Russell Crow. I haven’t heard much about this film, but if it’s rated R with plenty of violence Robin Hood could be rekindled.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (May 28, 2010)
I was a huge fan of the video game series and a big fan of Jake Gyllenhal. I always said that making a PoP movie in the style of 300 is everyone’s wet dream, but I’m sure that anything they come up with will be just as kick ass.
A-Team (June 11, 2010)
Unlike The Three Stooges, this one actually has a chance at doing well. The only thing I’m wondering about is who’s gonna play Mr. T… maybe Michael Clarke Duncan?
The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (June 30, 2010)
Personally I hate Twilight and I haven’t even seen the film. I think it has mostly to do with the cast and how unbearable they are. Regardless, this one is sure to be a hit with the tween audience willing to pay top-dollar to see it.
The Last Airbender (July 2, 2010)
This one is generating tons of buzz. M. Night Shyamallanahalan, in my opinion hasn’t made a good movie since Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, though The Happening was a step in the right direction. So I guess my point is this is a total tossup.
Inception (July 16, 2010)
The mere fact that this is Christopher Nolan’s first film since The Dark Knight means that it’s got big shoes to fill. A film about a blackmailing scandal which will give Nolan a bit of a rest from the special effects/big budget-driven Batman franchise. He’ll need it, since there will be another Batman.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 1 (November 19, 2010)
The beginning of the end. What will Radcliff do after part 2 is out? I have a fundamental problem when they start splitting films into two with the excuse that it was simply too long to put it all into one. The real reason is that it’s a cash cow and they wanna stretch it for as long as possible. Regardless, these films are guaranteed amazingness. The only one that in my opinion completely sucked was Goblet of Fire, which felt more like a really long episode of The OC.
Three Stooges (2010)
Everyone’s asking why, but it’s a done deal. This movie is coming out next year and we’ll get to see Jim Carrey and Benicio Del Toro slap each other in the face in full technicolor.
RoboCop (2010)
A film that will no doubt leave people asking why it was remade. Nevertheless it will be one of the most anticipated films next year.
Arrested Development (2010)
One of the saddest TV cancellations in the history of TV and the studios know it. Arrested Development was an amazing show that deserved at least a five-season run. The studios also know that since they can’t bring back the show, a feature film is the next best thing, and fans are raving about it. Can’t wait to see it.

Yay! Arrested Development! Can’t wait!
you forgot Percy Jackson! DDDDDDDDDDDDUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Yep, agree with most of your comments, gjunkie, with a couple of slight reservations:
re Alice in Wonderland, I agree that Tim Burton probably has the most hope of capturing the original book, except a) this isn’t the original book, it’s a free-wheeling “what came after” using the same characters, and b) Burton, like Terry Gilliam, almost never finishes what he starts. By that, I mean that *most* of his movies are so full of amazing ideas and amazing visualisations and amazing characterisations that he falls short of bringing them to a coherent whole, and we’re left with consoling ourselves for having seen something extraordinary that somehow left us short of being satiated. Or like Chinese food, where you realise you’re actually still hungry almost as soon as the plates are cleared.
re Robin Hood … well, I haven’t really been able to consider the dude in Sherwood Green tights without a snigger since Alan Rickman cancelled Christmas. For all that I like Ridley Scott’s work, if it’s going to be a “re-visioning” à la Antoine Fuqua’s “King Arthur”, then I might just give it a miss. (Why has no-one other than Boorman been able to tackle film versions of these mythic tales with anything approaching a mythic sensibility? This reinvention of ages-old tales to create some pabulum of modern relevance is just spoon-feeding the self-important 20s-something audiences; it does none of us any good, and isn’t the *only* way for a film-maker to go, so why do so many of them sell their souls to it?)
I’ve got pretty much zero interest in the games and old-TV-shows tie-ins, so there’s no anticipating going on here for those titles.
And for Harry Potter ,,, yes, I agree it seems like spinning money needlessly to drag the series out by yet another film. But on the other side of the argument, at least it brings them out from under the studio-imposed limit on running time that has reduced pretty much all the films so far to selected highlights of the novels they’re drawn from, turning into showreels what could (and should!) have been stand-alone films that lived, breathed, and told their own story. Since in every case I’ve read the novel before saying the film, I have no way of knowing what it would be like to watch these films and try to appreciate the story from them alone – pretty darned hard, I would imagine. It’ll be interesting to see if they can capture the philosophical nuances of the end of the film, without either sagging into a gabfest or having the numerous false endings people complain about so bitterly for “Return of the King”.
About “Robocop”, I can only ask “Why?”. (Yes, I do know the answer … it’s about money and cashing in on brand recognition. My question was meant to be rhetorical, OK? :p )
That’s it. I’m done.
