Most Anticipated 2011 Films

[Mr Light]

I found 2010 to be very underwhelming for movies. No real A Listers aside from HP7. Iron Man 2 I suppose was the best of the summer but it was a disappointment. But next year looks a lot better with the return of many A List franchises!

1. 5/20 Pirates 4: I love this franchise. Hopefully this one is more sheer fun.
2. 7/1 Transformers 3: I'm not ashamed, I loved the second one! Bring on the robots!
3. 5/6 Thor: the trailer for this looked really good even though I don't care for the character.
4. 7/15 Harry Potter 8: I know everything that will happen which is unfortunate but it should be absolutely amazing.
5. 7/22 Captain America: I have concerns about how good this will be...
6. 6/17 Green Lantern: I have serious concerns after seeing the trailer. I'm really worried. I love GL.
7. 6/3 X-Men First Class: total unknown
8. 3/25 Sucker Punch: trailed looked incredible!
9. 5/27 Kung Fu Panda 2: loved the first one.
10. 11/18 Happy Feet 2: loved the first one.

KUng Fu Panda 2, Puss In Boots, Sherlock Holmes 2, Deathly Hallows 2... Pirates 4

The Mechanic will probably be fun, but non-essential, and Fast Five will probably be a guilty pleasure.

Anonymous looks interesting.

Helluva lot of comic book adaptations there...

Really I'm just going to be marking time until Star Trek 2 and Bond 23 in 2012...

 

[Kirby]

Money Ball tops my list, but I am interested in Green Hornet, Green Lantern and the new Muppet movie.
My kids are excited for Cars 2 and Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2. The trailer for Cars 2 looks pretty lame, but we'll see.

 

[Lookingglassman]

I would hope the "Red Dawn" remake would come out.

I share most of your concerns as well.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

25th March - Sucker Punch. Directed by Zack Snyder. An epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what’s real and what is imaginary.

6th May - Thor. Directed by Kenneth Branagh. Based on the Marvel Comics character.

27th May - The Tree of Life. Directed by Terrence Malick. The tale of a Midwestern boy's journey from the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as a "lost soul in the modern world", and his quest to regain meaning in life.

3rd June - X-Men: First Class. Directed by Matthew Vaughn. Based on the Marvel Comics characters.

10th June - Super 8. Directed by JJ Abrams. It will take place in 1979 and it will be a homage/tribute to Spielberg's '70s and '80s science fiction films with a mystery and supernatural feel from Abrams.

22nd July - Captain America: The First Avenger. Directed by Joe Johnston. Based on the Marvel Comics character.

When Hugo encounters a broken machine, an eccentric girl, and the cold, reserved man who runs the toy shop, he is caught up in a magical, mysterious adventure that could put all of his secrets in jeopardy. Adapted from the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

23rd December - The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Based on "The Adventures of Tintin" comic book series.

28th December - War Horse. Directed by Steven Spielberg. At the outbreak of World War I, Joey, young Albert's beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France. He's soon caught up in enemy fire; death, disease and fate take him on an extraordinary odyssey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in No Man's Land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist in the British Army, he embarks on a dangerous mission to find the horse and bring him home. Adapted from the novel and stage play of the same name.

I would hope the "Red Dawn" remake would come out.

I cannot see how it could ever be as funny as the original.

 

[captcalhoun]

Thor, Captain America, Transformers 3, X-Men: First Class, Cars 2.

also looking forward to: Kung-Fu Panda 2, Fast 5, M:I 4, Conan, Pirates 4.

 

[Marc]

Thor, Captain America, Transformers 3, X-Men: First Class, Cars 2.

also looking forward to: Kung-Fu Panda 2, Fast 5, M:I 4, Conan, Pirates 4.

Sounds like 2011 could be subtitled "year of the sequel".

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Sounds like 2011 could be subtitled "year of the sequel".

That's true of pretty much every year these days.

 

[PsychoPere]

This list feels unfortunately skewed towards big-budget Hollywood tripe, but we're not close enough yet to smaller, quality films to have trailers and enough details to grab my attention. Edward Burns is starting on another film in March, called "The Couple Across the Street," and I'm hoping that will be out later in the year.

28 Jan- Restless
4 Feb (UK)- Brighton Rock
4 March- The Adjustment Bureau; Apollo 18 (more "curious" at this point than "anticipated")
18 March- The Lincoln Lawyer; Paul
15 April- Source Code
27 May- The Tree of Life
3 June- X-Men: First Class
10 June- Super 8
17 June- Green Lantern
24 June- Cars 2
29 July- Cowboys & Aliens
5 Aug- The Darkest Hour
23 Sept- Moneyball
21 Oct- Contagion
9 Dec- Hugo Cabret
16 Dec- Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
21 Dec- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
23 Dec- We Bought a Zoo
28 Dec- War Horse

I found 2010 to be very underwhelming for movies.

How one could call 2010 an "underwhelming" year with releases such as Nice Guy Johnny, Waiting for "Superman," City Island, Leaves of Grass, Winter's Bone, and The Kids Are All Right (to name a few) is... perplexing.

 

[Starbreaker]

Apollo 18
The Adjustment Bureau
Sucker Punch
Source Code
Water for Elephants
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
The Hangover: Part II
X-Men: First Class
Green Lantern
Rise of the Apes
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Captain America: The First Avenger
Cowboys & Aliens
Moneyball
The Thing
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I've been disappointed with the movie selection in 2010, so I'm excited!

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Green Lantern and possibly a mild interest in Rise of The Apes are probably the extent of it for me at this point. Very interested in GL after seeing the trailer.

 

[chrisspringob]

Source Code
The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (though with Gilliam's track record, this'll likely be delayed well beyond 2011)
The Tree of Life
War Horse
Elysium (if this is still coming out in 2011....is it delayed until 2012?)

 

[Starbreaker]

Is Johnny Depp still attached to Quixote?

 

[Lookingglassman]

I would hope the "Red Dawn" remake would come out.

They were filming it, but all of a sudden stopped. It was supposed to be released This week. Rumor has it that China is upset with this film because it depicts them as evil, which they are of course.

 

[Canadave]

The ones that come to mind for me...

• Source Code
• Super 8
• Green Lantern
• Captain America
• Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol
• The Adventures of Tintin

Everything else is more wait and see.

I honestly don't know what any of those movies are about
