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. 
First, let’s start off with a folly. A rumor has it that Robert Pattinson may take over the role of Marvel super-hero Spider-Man, which Tobey Maguire is vacating. My gut response to that is “NO, NO, NO!! Please God don’t let it be so!!!!” But that could just be an overreaction on my part; it is after all just a rumor for now.
Second, on to the forum. Just a reminder that The Hogshead now has a forum. We’re up to 42 registered members and over 70 topics. Some of the more recent topics and active ones are on Wandless Magic, A Topic for Strange Potter Questions, Books Read in 2010, Humor in Chamber of Secrets, Opera, and Should the Potter Movies Have Been Made, among many others. Please feel free to check out the forum and get involved.
Found this article on The Torch Online. I post it for two reasons: One, it’s a nice, thoughtful article on a topic we’ve discussed much here regarding adapting books or comics for the big screen, and Two, it mentions specific books/comics we’ve talked about much here, namely The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and the Watchmen. Plus, our very own Matthew/Korg is mentioned. See if you can find where! 
Feel free to share your thoughts on the article here. Enjoy!
