Will there be another Terminator sequel?
Even though we heard a few months back that McG is already working on Terminator 5, now it seems the prospects for another sequel seeing the light of day isn’t looking so good. The Halcyon Company, which acquired the rights to the movies a few years ago, is currently facing a bunch of legal and financial troubles. The LA Times published an article detailing the legal issues the company now faces. Industry insiders now suspect the plug may be pulled for good on this legendary franchise.
First Teaser Trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar
The first official teaser trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar is finally here! It was debuted by Apple on August 20. Check out this teaser and decide for yourself if this lives up to all the expectations that have built up during the last few years. The trailer and info are courtesy of FirstShowing.net
Avatar is the story of an ex-Marine on the planet Pandora who, as an Avatar – a human mind in an alien body – finds himself in a desperate fight for his survival and that of the indigenous beings called Na’vi.
James Vanderbilt has been Rehired by Sony to Write Spider-Man 5 & 6
Well folks, we’ve just received news that the Spider-Man franchise is going to be around for a long long time to come. While Tobey McGuire, Kirsten Dunst and director Sam Raimi all confirmed to return for Spider-Man 4, Sony has already brought James Vanderbilt of The Losers on board to write the story for Spider-Man 5 and 6! We don’t know what kind of story he will write and which characters will be in them. We don’t even know if McGuire or Dunst or even Raimi will return for a fifth and sixth movie. Valderbilt is the guy who wrote the first draft of Spider-Man 4, before his disagreement with Raimi forced Sony to bring David Lindsay-Abaire to re-write the script, and then Gary Ross re-wrote Lindsay-Abaire’s re-write. Many of Vandderbilt’s ideas, however, have been retained and will be seen in the next movie to be released in 2011.
The interesting news is that if the original director and cast decide not to return for more sequels, Spidey 5 will be the first film of a rebooted franchise.
The Chronicles of Narnia Ship the Dawn Treader
Even though Fox decided to shelve the Chronicles of Narnia franchise last year, they’re currently working hard on the next installment, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Below is a link to photos from ComingSoon of the fully completed ship. This is going to be a highly-anticipated release of 2010, as many regard The Voyage of the Dawn Treader as the best book of the franchise.

The first photo from Avatar is here at last! The following is the first production photo from the movie, released by Fox. The photo shows Sam Worthington with his Avatar in the background, suspended in liquid.
Avatar is James Cameron’s first film since 1997’s Titanic, and tells the story of a ex-Marine who uploads his mind into a creature (his Avatar) so he can go and live in an alien planet amongst strange creatures. The story follows the struggles of the lead character as he is torn between his home world and this one, fighting for his own survival as well as that of the indigenous people.

McG Talks About Terminator 5 and 20,000 Leagues
Even though Terminator Salvation fizzled at the box office this summer, McG has revealed to both IGN and RadioFree that he’s already getting ready to make a sequel to the film. About a possible plot, McG says, “So the idea is to play with one of the tried and true rules of the franchise – time travel – and introduce it in this picture. I don’t want to share too much, but let’s just say it’s very, very likely that John Connor is going to end up running through rooms like this where he knows something that none of us know. And I think that is a platform for great storytelling.”
McG is also concurrently working on a re-telling of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea with Braveheart screenwriter Randall Wallace currently writing the script. The director has even mentioned that he would want Sam Worthington to play Captain Nemo in the film.
2009: There is more to come
If you thought you have seen enough this year with Transformers, Harry Potter, Star Trek, and Public Enemies; think again. 2009 still has more in store than you can handle.
Inglorious Basterds (August 21)
Quentin Tarantino( Director), Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Samuel L. Jackson
Has there been a project more wrapped in uncertainty than Inglourious Basterds?It was so uncertain that Tarantino would be releasing this anticipated film this year. Now it appears that the basterds will be assaulting theaters in August. We know we will see blood and massacre, as Tarantino proved that he can bring the pain in the Kill Bill series. But what makes Inglourious Basterds worth watching is the chance to see if Tarantino can mix his usual flash with some substance. And who doesn’t want to see Brad Pitt scalp a few Nazis?
9 (September 9)
Shane Ackers (Creator), Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, CGI Ragdolls
One look at the recent trailer and you are instantly obsessed… not bad for a movie that almost no one had heard of earlier. Based on his own award-winning short, Acker’s 9 is a post-apocalyptic tale of living ragdolls, mechanical beasts, and a quest to save all of humanity. It’s also one of the most amazing and beautiful-looking CGI films yet, even if it is substantially darker than the usual CGI kiddie films.
Shutter Island (October 2)
Martin Scorsese (director), Dennis Lehane (source author), Leonardo DiCaprio, Emily Mortimer, Mark Ruffalo, Sir Ben Kingsley
If you’ve read Shutter Island, you already know how fascinating it is. Even if you haven’t read Lehane’s work, you already know that two of his books – Gone, Baby, Gone and Mystic River – have already been adapted into Academy Award nominated and winning films. Now, fans of his work will get to see his story about two U.S. Marshals hunting an escaped murderess during a disastrous storm handled by the iconic talent of Martin Scorsese and the strength of a stellar cast. In an interview, Lehane claimed that Shutter Island was his attempt at blending the work of the Bronte sisters and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. If that’s the case, expect a blend of Jane Eyre darkness with Cold War Era levels of paranoia
The Fantastic Mr. Fox (November 6)
Wes Anderson (director), Cate Blanchett, George Clooney, Bill Murray, Anjelica Huston, Jason Schwartzman
It’s a great year for Hollywood to reach out to the child inside all of us, and Wes Anderson is joining us on the playground by adapting Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. It’ll be his first animated feature, but he’s bringing along the usual suspects that seem contractually obligated to appear in every project he does. The story is simple – three farmers square off against a clever fox who steals their poultry every night to feed his family. It may not be the most well-known Dahl book, but I’m looking forward to seeing what Anderson and company can do with stop motion animation and a light-hearted children’s story
Sherlock Holmes (November 20)
Guy Ritchie (Director), Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Mark Strong
After his all-over-the-map performances of 2008, all of which beloved, Robert Downey Jr. is eyeing 2009 as his year to bring back the detective’s cap. He’s shedding the armor of Iron Man (for now, at least) and the ridiculous hilarity of Kirk Lazarus and heading back to the late-nineteenth century to sword fight, box, solve mysteries and undoubtedly get the girl. Better yet, he’s teaming up with Guy Ritchie, who should be able to mix some period piece details with his high-energy style to make for one wild ride. That, and Mark Strong as a bad guy is becoming a welcomed hot trend (see RocknRolla for proof).
The Lovely Bones (December 11)
Peter Jackson (Director), Rachel Weisz, Ryan Gosling, Susan Sarandon, Saoirse Ronan, Stanley Tucci
Peter Jackson is best known for his spectacular directing of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, a special effects wonder. But Jackson is no stranger to strictly dramatic affairs, Heavenly Creatures proves that. Like Kate Winslet’s turn in the aforementioned film, the adaptation of Alice Sebold’s best-selling novel offers a chance at a breakthrough performance for Saoirse Ronan. Jackson penned the screenplay about this tale of murder and the balance between revenge and forgiveness, one of my favorite stories of the past decade.Don’t be surprised if this film and the term Oscar-worthy become synonymous in 2009
Avatar (December 18)
James Frickin Cameron (Director), Sam Worthington
James Cameron is finally returning to feature film twelve years after Titanic, and that’s all that really matters. The man has yet to make a bad movie (including Pirahna 2: The Spawning… it had flying fish and it rocked!!) and Avatar looks to be the biggest film of the year. Mankind finds an inhabited planet and sends a soldier named Jake (Worthington) to plant the seeds of a peaceful conquest. Jake has other plans though and soon he’s leading the resistance against the invading humans. Epic, hardcore, sci-fi action guaranteed and sci fi lovers put your gears on.
Fredrick Zoller’s Nation’s Pride Trailer From Inglourious Basterds
Check this out. This is the trailer for Nation’s Pride, which isn’t a real film but is the film-within-a-film in Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. The fictional film plays a part in the plot of the real film, as Adolf Hitler shows up at its premiere. The fictional film is in fact directed by Eli Roth.
The trailer was released by Apple, and is courtesy of FirstShowing.net
Natalie Portman will be playing the role of Jane Foster, the love interest of the title character in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. Her casting has officially been confirmed by Marvel yesterday (July 13). The film will co-star Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as the villain Loki. The synopsis of the film from FirstShowing.net:
This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
