I never wanted this to seem like a movie blog, but it seems like that is what I'm into these days. So please don't be offended if I write another blog about some upcoming movies that I can't stop thinking about. With that said, here's the list:
Where the Wild Things Are
My favorite book from my childhood is being made into a full length feature! I'm really excited about this. Apparently, it has been pushed back until 2009, so that they can do a lot of re-shooting. I'm willing to wait though, if it ensures that we get a quality movie.

The Hobbit (1 &2)
Holy Crap! I was so excited last night when I found this little nugget lurking in the depths of IMDB! This project has been pushed back due to disagreements with Peter Jackson's involvement, but I am confident that they cam e to a good compromise. Jackson is signed on as the Executive Producer, and they recruited Guillermo del Toro to direct. If you have seen Pan's Labyrinth than you will agree with me that this was a good move by New Line Cinema. My biggest fear was that these movies would lack cohesiveness with the trilogy. It doesn't seem to be the case though. Guillermo del Toro has a similar style to Jackson's and with Jackson overseeing the production, he will make sure that justice is done to these films.

The A Team
I'm not really sure that I would use the word "excited" to describe my anticipation for this movie, but I am definitely interested. This series is one of the only times when the last name "Murdock" has been given to a protagonist character, so my entire namesake is on the line here. Should I be more worried that they cast Woody Harrelson to play Murdock or that they cast Ice Cube to play Mr. T?

Alice In Wonderland
Slap the name "Tim Burton" on just about anything and I'll be there, and this movie will be no exception (Planet of the Apes was an exception). I'm really interested to see what he will bring to this story. Tim Burton has a way of bringing the dark undertones of any story to the surface, so it will be interesting to see which of the many undertones he brings out with this film. Just one question, Who will Johnny Depp play? (Mad Hatter)

X Men Origins: Wolverine
This movie is going to have the one thing that none of the previous X Men films had: Gambit! Hugh Jackman is coming back as Wolverine and Liev Schrieber is cast as Sabretooth. Seriously though, Gambit!

Other films that I am anticipating, but don't care to write about include:
Transformers 2
Jurassic Park 4 -bleh!
Spider Man 4
Get Smart
Let me know if I missed any.

Yes! I am very excited for Where the Wild Things Are, The Hobbit and Alice. I read though that Alice in Wonderland will be done in 3D animation like Beowulf. I hope it looks appealing. I am putting my trust in Burton. He is also doing a stop-animation version of Frankenweenie which will be good! Oh, and don't forget that Dominic Managhan is going to be in the new Wolverine movie playing Blackwing.
I will watch anything Tim Burton makes. Even it is based off of a laudanum induced children's book.
I wouldn't put Spider-Man 4 on there until we hear more about it. I'm waiting for your Iron Man review.
