Over at The Torch Online Heather Hogan has put together a nice preview of upcoming fantasy films in 2010. Quite a few films coming out this year, including some big ones. Ms. Hogan has previewed 15 films, the most notable, in my opinion, being Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, and last but not least, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.
Check out all the previews, since there’s also quite a few others of interest to people who regularly read this blog. Oh yeah, there’s also some movie with sparkly vampires coming out this year too.
It’s being rumored that both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows might be released in both 2D and 3D versions. The success of Avatar is going to create a lot of this sort of thing. 3D is the direction in which we’re headed.
I enjoyed the 3D aspect of Avatar (if not the plot or dialogue), so I’ll make it a point to see this film in 3D if indeed the rumors are true. Your thoughts?
The Deathly Hallows teaser trailer, available exclusively on the Half-Blood Prince DVD till now, is posted online.
Here’s a mega-list of movies that are set to be the big ones of 2010. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 is on the list, of course.
I’m excited about several of these. Alice in Wonderland should be fun, and it’s always fascinating to see Depp do an already done character (see: Willy Wonka). I loved the first Iron Man film, so I’m excited for the second. But probably topping my list (after Deathly Hallows, of course) is the Russell Crowe Robin Hood. Russell Crowe is a genius. I’m hoping they wait till he’s in his later 60s before making plans for remaking the Harry Potter movies. Crowe for Dumbledore!
Speaking of remakes: Karate Kid? No thanks. I’ll stick with the first two.
