1) Jurassic Park 4
Looks like they will make a fourth movie from the franchise after all. But nothing is certain, as usual. Steven Spielberg is cooking up some ideas for the movie with writer, Mark Protosevich who were a screenwriter for I Am Legend and Thor. This movie could be a continuation from the past movies or it could turn out to be a total reboot. We will have to wait and see.
2) Final Destination 5
Okay, so everyone who is a fan of the franchise (or maybe not) should probably already know that a fifth movie is coming out sometime in August 2011. You can watch the trailer by now, just head to YouTube and type Final Destination official trailer. Speaking of the trailer, the film seems to take a different tone than the previous movie, which to me is a good choice considering the fourth movie is the 'weakest' in the franchise. It was said that if this fifth movie is a success, a sixth and seventh movie would be filmed back to back. Cool!
The film starred Nicholas D'Agosto, Emma Bell and Miles Fisher. The main 'death' event that will be the trigger point is the collapsing of a bridge. There are also 'accidents' involving laser eye surgery and acupuncture. Scary....
3) Silent Hill: Revelation 3D
That would be the title of the new Silent Hill movie. I posted about this before, so now for some updates. The movie already wrapped filming in May 2011. Some of the actors from the 1st movie will also appear in this movie like Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell and Deborah Kara Unger. It follows plot from the video game Silent Hill 3 and will feature characters from the video game like Heather Mason and Claudia Wolf.
I played Silent Hill 3, it was a scary and dark video game, hopefully the film will also follow the same tone. But I would prefer if the don't follow 100% the story from the game because it was very good that I doubt they could successfully adapted it on the silver screen. It would be better to stray a bit from it. ;-)
4) X-men movie series
X-Men: First Class are still playing in theaters and they already talking about a trilogy. Yup, X-Men: First Class will have another 2 movies if the first movie did well. The studio that developed the movie always envisions the movie as a part of a trilogy, so we just have to wait how this all will turn out.
There are also plans to do X-Men 4, a continuation from X-Men: The Last Stand (or X-Men 3, which way you want to say it). Although it would be hard to get the actors from the past movies back, but I think if they plan it right, this could work out! They are also trying to get Bryan Singer, the director of the 1st and 2nd X-Men movies, to get on board for this movie. Hopefully this could become a reality.
5) Septimus Heap: Magyk
This movie will be the film adaptation of the children novel by Angie Sage, Magyk. I love Magyk very much and so I hope they would make a good movie out of it. Reportedly it will be a live-action movie and not animated. Mmm...are trying to find a new wizard for the big screen now that the Hary Potter movie series coming to an end? Whatever they do, they better not screw this up because Magyk the novel was superb.
6) Pacific Rim
Many would never heard about this movie project by Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy). It's an upcoming science fiction giant monster film set to be released in July 2013.
What's interesting about this project is that it is inspired by mecha anime, piloted robots used in battles that heavily found in anime; and kaiju, meaning strange beast in Japanese which used to describe a type of monster movies in Japan. I love anime, and I used to watch these kaiju in TV series like Ultraman. So this project sounds very interesting to me. 2013 is still so very far away but hopefully they manage to make this movie into a hit.
Okay, that's all for now. Hopefully I gave you some valuable info that you do not know.
