As I know there are some here who like a good movie or tv show, so I thought a topic like this might be of interest. So, here are some things that'll await us (or could await us) in the near future.
As some probably know already, there will be yet another movie about Robin Hood. It is called Robin Hood (who would have guessed), is directed by the great Ridley Scott and scheduled to hit cinemas in early 2010. Here's the imdb-page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0955308/
I somehow won't warm up to the idea, that Russel Crowe will be playing Robin Hood, but I love the fact that William Hurt and Cate Blanchett will be in this one.
What I am looking forward to is the RoboCop remake by Darren Aronofsky. Normally I would be very skeptical, because I don't believe that the original movie needs a remake (and normally I'm not against remakes at all), but I believe that this director can give the RoboCop franchise something new. Even though there is not much information about this one yet, the movie is in pre-production and will be coming to theatres sometime in 2010.
Then there is The Pacific, an HBO mini series about the Pacific War theatre. The crew is said to be almost the same as the Band Of Brothers crew and it is allegedly the most expensive tv production ever with a reported budget of 250 million dollars. The series was expected to air last fall, but there apparently were some "hold-ups". Word is that it will be coming this october. Well, usually, "hold-ups" that long aren't a good sign, but I'm still hopeful that this will be a great show. imdb.com, wikipedia
Another big project on HBO I'm hoping will turn out great is Boardwalk Empire, a series about the "rise of Atlantic City in the 1920s". There are some big names behind this project (Martin Scorsese, Mark Wahlberg, Timothy Van Patten, Terence Winter) and Steve Buscemi has already been signed to play one of the leads. imdb
So, what do you think? Any of those sound promising? Any movies/shows still in plannig phase or maybe just rumored about that you're looking forward to?
