Most anticipated 2009 release from these choices?

Anticipating so many of these, but will pick Woody over anything anyday.
I went with Toy Story, but I'm also very much looking forward to The Lovely Bones, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Public Enemies, Where The Wild Things Are, Ashecliffe, Duplicity and Watchmen. Going to be a good year.

Watchmen for me. I know Snyder didn't do a very good job with 300, but I still have faith that this could be a great movie.
I'm also greatly anticipating Toy Story and Ashecliffe.

i've been looking forward to Where the Wild Things Are for the longest time... sadly I think we'll all be disappointed once the studio gets done with it.

Watchmen.

No "other?"
I chose Toy Story (even though I'm really looking forward to Watchmen, Lovely Bones and Transformers too) but I am unbelievably excited for Final Destination 4 in 3D haha.

Fantastic Mr. Fox, purely based on the fact I read the book so many times when I was younger.

I really wish they'd keep the Eggers script and let Jonze do his work.

Haha, bit of an overstatement, but it should be interesting to watch how it goes.

According to imdb, Tree of Life is scheduled for 09. Easily my most anticipated if it actually happens.

I totally forgot that. I love Malick, Pitt and Penn. I have high hopes for that movie.

It seems pretty certain but you never know. I think Thin Red Line was in 'production' for about ten years.

Definitely Watchmen. What ended up happening with WTWTA? I thought they almost ditched the movie or something...

The Lovely Bones will be great. I'm sure of it.

Twenty years between Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, seven years between The Thin Red Line and The New World. That's the reason i'm hesitant. Not that i'm not excited. He's the only director who i've given 10/10's to all his films.

I don't know, considering how much it's been pushed back.

Warner Bros. thought Jonze's version wasn't geared toward kids and is having him do tons of reshoots. Suppsedly its still his movie, but they've definitely interfered with the production.

I went with Watchmen just because I need to see how this comes out. However, Star Trek is a very close #2, and Valkyrie, Terminator, and Transformers are also up there.

I never saw The New World, was that up to par with his other ones? The Bandlands is amazing.

Most of those I don't care for, some of those I've never heard of, so I went with Lovely Bones.

Even better that they're not rushing it. Have you read the book? Also, the casting is perfect. Absolute perfection. I have full confidence in the abilities of Ronan, Weisz, Tucci, Wahlberg, Sarandon, and of course Peter Jackson. It'll be an Oscar contender, mark my words.

shit's weak
I still wish Gosling had the lead in The Lovely Bones. I like Wahlberg, but I thought Gosling was absolutely perfect.

Indeed it is. And the script got changed around. Dave Eggers+Spike Jonze sounds like a great formula, but sadly it won't be the same.

Gosling is too young! No matter how much weight or facial hair he has.

As good as Gosling is, I think he's way too young to play the father of a teenager.

i agree, especially with the age of the kids and his wife being rachel weisz. i absolutely love him as an actor but it just would not look right.

I can see Wahlberg playing the broken down father perfectly. I am so excited. This was a good movie poll, I need to look up the ones I haven't heard of.
Yeah I can understand the to young thing. I love him in everything he does so maybe I'm just to biased that he got fired. I'm sure Wahlberg will do a great job with it. I still think he's awesome in Boogie Nights.
Oh and its good to see Rachel Weisz doing a role that isn't crap. She hasn't done anything good since The Constant Gardener.
Is the Avatar on the poll a movie of that anime show?
Jessooker
08/04/08, 05:33 PM
I thought Definitely, Maybe was good.

Nah, its a science fiction film. No relation to the show.

Whoops, I didn't see that. Just a big no to Eragon and Fred Claus, though I am glad she said no to the third Mummy.

Plus she's got the new Rian Johnson (Brick) movie The Brothers Bloom that looks great, too, which I totally forgot for the poll.
EDIT: That comes out this year. My bad.

Either Star Trek or Transformers. I'm too wary to include Watchmen.
