Most Anticipated Film(s) of 2007

[criterionmaster]

What are some movies you are looking forward to seeing and why?

[agentknight]

I look forward to 8, Lynch's Inland Empire and Kim Ki-duk's Life.

[mixed]

I'm very much looking forward to grindhouse. The trailer looks amazing! The woman with a gun leg and the man with a coat full of knives really gets me psyched! + it will likely be my first '18' rated movie i see in a theatre.

[subgirl]

Into the Wild, read the book by Jon Krakauer. Found it to be very compelling. Apparently the film is to be directed by Sean Penn.

I just read that Stardust by Neil Gaiman is currently in post-production, scheduled for July.

[ie]

Some movies that look interesting to me, although I may not see them all in theaters, with my predicted ratings range, excluding ones that probably won't be great and I'm probably missing a bunch:



Smokin' Aces (8), Rogue (5-9 or 8), Fahrenheit 451 (8? or 9?), Hannibal Rising (9?), Ghost Rider (6), the Number 23 (7), Zodiac (8-9), 300 (8-9), Stardust (8-9), TMNT (7-8), Grind House (9), Spider-Man 3 (8 or 9?), Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (8), the Transformers (5-8), Rob Zombie's Halloween (?!), American Gangster (7-8) and Beowulf (6-8?).

add-ons: Cassandra's Dream (8-9), Inland Empire (8), Youth Without Youth (8-9) and Kim Ki-duk's Life (8).



In other words, looks like there could be a bunch of movies worth checking out in the theaters this year.


There's a Saw 4.

[misterbalco]

There is a hell of a lot of sequals!!!!!

[ie]

Quite a few, but I also listed some that aren't sequels... yet.

edit: And that list was really just based on what I read on Wikipedia. I'm sure there are other non-theater releases that will be pretty good as well.

[Nomansvally]

Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream (2007)
- I've read that this is a film noir!

David Lynch's Inland Empire (2007)
- Lynch has been working a lot on this! 5 years wasn't it?

Francis For Coppola's Youth Without Youth (2007)
- Coppola's finally back on track. Bruno Ganz!

Peter Greenaway's Nightwatching (2007)
- Might be a spectacular film!

Edgar Wright's Hot Fuzz (2007)
- Shaun of the dead was very funny! Hope it'll be just as good!

Nicolas Roeg's Puffball (2007)
- Roeg's comeback film!

These are at the top.

Coppola with a new film?

You just made my day.

LMAO!

but in any case, it'll be interesting to see if the elder Coppola can dig himself out of this moviemaking rut he's put himself in the past decade or so.

[criterionmaster]

Yeah, me too. I really hope he can get back to making some great movies.

[criterionmaster]

Definitely The Simpsons Movie!

[PTAhole]

In order of release date, here is what I will consider (Definates will be in bold):

Smokin' Aces- Joe Carnahan
Breaking and Entering- Anthony Mighella
Ghost Rider- comic book movie
Bridge to Terabithia- fantasy movie
Black Snake Moan- good trailer
Amazing Grace- Michael Apted
Zodiac- David Fincher
I Could Never Be Your Woman- Amy Heckerling
300- comic book movie
Black Book- Paul Verhoven
The Host- Godzilla-style disaster movie
Sunshine- Danny Boyle
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles- YES!
Angel-A- Luc Besson directing again, I'm stunned
Rescue Dawn- Werner Herzog
Grindhouse- Tarantino and Rodriguez
Hot Fuzz- Shaun of the Dead is amazing, this will be too
Pathfinder- I like vikings
Death at a Funeral- Frank Oz can be a good director
Spider-Man 3- Sam Raimi, plus, it's fucking Spider-Man!
Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End- Hate the second one, but will be seeing this, probably.
Ocean's Thirteen- I find these movies enjoyable...
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer- HATE the first film, but I have this weird obligation to any comic book movie.
Ratatouille- Pixar
Live Free or Die Hard- It's fucking Die Hard
The Simpsons Movie- It's the Simpsons!
Stardust- I love the book, so I will see the movie.
The Bourne Ultimatum- Liked the first two movies.
Fanboys- Star Wars is a main plot point.
Lust, Caution- Ang Lee
30 Days of Night- comic book movie
American Gangster- Ridley Scott
Bee Movie- Jerry Seinfeld wrote this movie.
Beowulf- Robert Zemeckis AND Neil Gaiman!
I Am Legend- Based on the same book as The Omega Man.

[criterionmaster]

Live Free or Die Hard looks like a big huge pile of shit if you ask me. It is like all these action trilogies are getting new sequels these days.

[Clark Nova]

Sunshine looks pretty cool, especially since Danny Boyle's a director i really admire.

and of course i'll see spider-man.

My Blueberry Nights - Wong Kar Wai

[criterionmaster]

www.apple.com/trailers/paramount_vantage/blacksnakemoan/trailer1/

[PTAhole]

I hear it's fantastic. I might try to see it.

[PTAhole]

Top five most anticipated:

1. The Simpsons Movie
2. Across the Universe
3. Spider-Man 3
4. Grindhouse
5. Zodiac/TMNT

[nonfiction]

1. My Blueberry Nights (Wong Kar Wai)
2. Kantoku Banzai! (Takeshi Kitano)
3. The Man From London (Bela Tarr)

[criterionmaster]

I cannot wait for Man From London either, but we probably won't get it here till 2008 at the earliest. It sounds like an awesome film, and that tiny still, with it's beautiful black and white, that I posted, has gotten me even more excited.

[slapshot63]

My #1 is Spider-Man 3. Others are (in order of release date):
Zodiac (out now)
300
The Host
TMNT
Grindhouse
Hot Fuzz
Pirates 3
Knocked Up
Hostel: Part II
Fantastic Four 2
Transformers (maybe)
Harry Potter 5
The Simpsons
Underdog (loved this cartoon as a kid)
Resident Evil: Extinction
3:10 To Yuma (only for Christian Bale if I do see it)
Hitman
Saw IV
AVP 2

[The Pseudo Cathartic]

Saw Black Snake Moan and Hot Fuzz already. Black Snake Moan is pretty good (but subordinate to Hustle & Flow) and the acting is great (Christina Ricci was really working here and Justin Timberlake was convincing... Uncle Sam was great with his gospel verses). Hot Fuzz = BRILLIANT

Can't wait for... Haneke's Funny Games remake with Niomi Watts! OMFG!

[eatawiiner]

The new Van Sant COULD be cool, and c'mon people. HARMONY KORINE'S 'MR. LONELY'!!!!

[criterionmaster]

Yeah, I posted all about that in his thread, it sounds stunning. Is that a definite release this year? And do you know when?
