Another Pride and Prejudice is coming out, starring Keira Knightley. No idea how it will compare to the BBC/A&E version with Ehle and Firth. We'll see...

Lalaith · 12-26-2004, 09:50 PM

Hmmm, the only one that I know is coming out in 2005 is STAR WARS. I definitely want to see that.
I want to know how George Lucas fills the gap between part II and part IV (and of course Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor).

Millane · 12-27-2004, 05:08 AM

all the above and Sin City, Batman Begins and probably most of all Charlie and the Chocolate factory... Im sure there are many more ive forgotten though.

gimli7410 · 12-29-2004, 01:11 AM

-star wars- it better be good because the first two were a bit dissapointing
-war of the worlds-looks interesting, kinda like a movie just to see
-charlie and the chocolate fatory with johnny depp sounds good only because depp can just make his characters believable
harry potter-is alfonso cuaerno(sp?) direting it, i didnt like the 3rd movie very muh but i also didnt liek the first two either

Varda Oiolosseo · 12-29-2004, 06:19 PM

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!!!!!!! I really really can't wait to see this movie! I saw a trailer for it online the other day and it look's great

(June 2005)

I also want to see The Magic Roundabout

...which is out in February

And of course Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, hopefully that will be pretty good too

No, Cuaron isn't directing the fourth one, Mike Newell is. Hopefully, Newell won't cut out as much very important stuff as dear Alfonso did.
Anyway, in Oh-Five, I'm definitely looking forward to The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (May Sixth). Who wouldn't be? I recently viewed the BBC mini-series again, which I've always found fantastic, except (quite obviously) for the special effects. But, I'm waiting to see how Mos Def performs in the role of Ford Prefect, some people were slightly (what's the word I should use here?) disappointed with the fact that they cast a black Ford, which doesn't really make any sense to me. As long as he can pull of the role, there isn't anything wrong with him in the role.
Now that I'm rambling...
Beyond that, I'm just anticipating GoF, for obvious reasons. I mean, a new director (again!) within a series is always something to be cautious of.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galexy
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe

Andúril · 01-01-2005, 09:09 AM

Definitely Batman Begins.

Euuucchh. I just can't reconcile Keira with Elizabeth... besides, I thought the Ehle/Firth version was so excellent that I absolutely can't imagine a better one. (let's hope I'm not beaten for actually liking the movie version of a book around here.

)

Catgirl · 01-03-2005, 06:04 PM

I am looking foreward to seeing Starwars Episode III, the trailer loks cool, especially since Hayden has longish hair!!
Also, Charlie and the chocolate factory,eventhought the trailer looks really creepy, but definetly a Tim Burton film.

Gwaimir Windgem · 01-04-2005, 04:56 PM

Number one movie next year, for me: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Keira--just "tolerable"?

**Nurvingiel** · 01-04-2005, 08:57 PM

I'm curious about Star Wars episode III, but I expect it will stink as much as the first two... sorry fellow Star Wars fans.

I've started avoiding adaptations of books or plays and remakes of old movies... because in recent memory all the ones I have seen sucked big time.

I am looking forward to non-Hollywood movies that I haven't heard about yet...

The film makers aren't intelligent enough to think up new plots and ideas! There have been so many remakes lately.

Mercutio · 01-08-2005, 10:07 PM

I am looking forward to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so ... maybe not all remakes.
