The Burrowers

My initial thought of "the burrowers" was oh god not another Tremors/Pitch Black/The Descent, but after viewing the trailer it looks like the film could have some potential. I'm a fan of the western genre and love when they get the gritty old' west feeling into films rather than a polished studio look. This movie looks to do just that, while adding a little horror in. pretty interested to see how this turns out.

Sukiyaki Western Django

"Famed Japanese auteur Takashi Miike, who is best known for cult classics such as Audition, Ichi: the Killer, and Children of Lost Souls, brings a fresh new look at the beloved spaghetti Western genre in Sukiyaki Western Django. Two clans, Genji, the white clan led by Yoshitsune, and Heike, the red clan led by Kiyomori, battle for a legendary treasure hidden in a poor mountain town. One day a lone gunman, burdened with deep emotional scars but blessed with incredible shooting skills, drifts into town. Expectations reach a boiling point as everyone wonders which gang the gunman will finally decide to join. Dirty tricks, betrayal, desire, and love collide as the situation erupts into a final, explosive showdown." Apple.com/trailers

Really excited for this film, if your expecting a Marvel action packed superhero flick this isnt for you. Considering only one of the "superheros" has any supernatural power.

The International

   
One of my favorite actors Clive Owen, The international reminds me a little of the quantum of Solace trailer. Kinda sounds like a 007 plot too. Looks good Anyway. Due out February.

Fear(s) of the Dark

Thought this looked cool.

The Wolfman

Benecio Del Toro

The Spirit

Frank Millers back to bring us another visually stylized ride about a cop who comes back from the dead to fight crime. The movie looks amazing but samual l. jackson is cast as the villian, anything with him attached makes me weary.

Conan

Literally last week i was involved in a conversation and i said if there was an action movie to remake/continue its Conan. The movies in the early stages of development and is rumored to have Brett Ratner attached. The hardest part of this process will be casting conan, there no good actors with the size to play the beast. Also they cant make this a polished studio movie, it has to be gritty and dark in order to capture Conan properly.  There are alot of ways to destroy this movie but i hope it turns out great. 

Avatar:

Avatar is James Camerons new film which reportedly follows "a paralyzed former marine who undergoes an experiment to exist as an avatar, another version of himself. The avatar is not paralyzed, but is an alien — 10 feet tall and blue." The film "pits a human army against an alien army on a distant planet, using live actors and digital technology to make a large cast of virtual creatures who convey emotion as authentically as humans."
"It makes Titanic look like a picnic," Cameron said recently during an interview from Los Angeles, where he is working furiously on the new film."

Games To Movies

"Live Free or Die Hard director Len Wiseman is set to direct the Gears of War movie, based on the popular Epic Games title.
Screenwriter Chris Morgan has been drafted to pen the script for New Line -- his previous credits include Wanted and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Epic Games exec Mark Rein told Variety in June, "It's like with our games, you can have it right or have it right now. We want to get it right. There's no timetable for us. We just want to make as good a movie as we can, and we think [Wiseman's] the guy who will do it."
Gears of War is tentatively set for a 2010 release."

"Max Payne, adapted from the 3DRealms game, hits theaters on October 17 courtesy of 20th Century Fox.
The story stars Mark Wahlberg as maverick cop hell-bent on revenge against those responsible for the brutal murder of his family and partner. His obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmarish journey into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal
John Moore, whose most recent projects include WWII drama Behind Enemy Lines, horror remake The Omen and airborne adventure Flight of the Phoenix, directed.
The movie also stars Mila Kunis, Beau Bridges, and Chris Bridges."

-Im not totally sold on the idea of game to movie adaptations. I can see why studios like to produce them because they already have a built in fan base and buzz, which means green. The problem is most of these games have no story, IMP there's only a couple that can make that transition.(e.g. Halo) Max Payne will be the first released in a long line of adaptations greenlit for production. The trailer for max payne looks good captured the dark atmosphere of game so they may have done a good job.
