Upcoming Movies 2011 continued...

The Rest...

The Immortals

It is about time we got to grips with some Greek myth classics, especially after the dismal Clash of the Titans! Tarsem Singh directs with pretty much newcomer Henry Cavill playing Theseus, a warrior who is on a mission to save a princess as well as overthrow evil king Hyperion, played by Mickey Rourke. Also stars Freida Pinto.

Mission impossible: Ghost protocol

Tom Cruise returns as agent Ethan Hunt in another jet- setting adventure. Locations such as Dubai (which features a stunt on the tallest building on the planet) and Prague are set to accommodate much of the action. Cannot wait!

Tin Tin: The Secret of the Unicorn

Spielberg's first outing for the year features Jamie Bell voicing the lead character and an eclectic cast featuring Daniel Craig. the movie features state of the art capture animation. Looks good!

The War Horse

The second offering from Spielberg is the epic story of a war horse, which is seen mainly through the horses' eyes. It is set against the backdrop of WWI and charts the relationship between a young boy and his horse.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Hot off his victory from the Golden Globes for The Social Network David Fincher's next project is underway and is the Hollywood remake of the recent movies starring Noomi Rapace. Newcomer Rooney Mara stars opposite Daniel Craig.... He's bloody busy this year!

Paranormal Activity 3

We cannot get through Halloween without what seems to be a permanent fixture every year- a Paranormal Activity movie! They are pretty good though. No plot details as it stands but expect, swinging doors, loud bangs and of course people being dragged by the invisible forces of evil...

The Rite

Anthony Hopkins plays a Vatican priest who is part of the "Exorcism arm" of the church. It is based on true events so is probably going to be quite creepy.

West is West

The follow-up to the much loved East is East will see Om Puri return as the head of the dis-functional family. Expect loads of racial gags, stereotypes and probably some decent acting.

Countdown to Zero

A documentary taking a look at the nuclear proliferation that exists. Probably going to be as scary as some of the horrors this year!

Real Steel

A big Action movie full of CGI starring Hugh Jackman as a retired boxer come promoter for the new replacement of boxing- big bad robots smashing the nuts and bolts out of each other! Sure to be a sit back, relax, switch your brain off and enjoy experience.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

Yeah.... err, Transformers 3.

Battlefield: Los Angeles

Big scale Alien invasion movie which pitt's Aaron Eckhart against an attack by superior forces on LA. A group of U.S. Soldiers fight to survive which includes Michelle Rodriguez in her usual hard-nut chick sort of role.

Super 8

Little is known about JJ Abrams next big project but is sure to be a big budget production. Being produced by Spielberg, the Lost creator is doing his usual trick of teasing movie-goers right up until release (remember Cloverfield?). Guessing by the trailer there is probably going to be some involvement of alien life form- though that is just a guess.... Watch this space.

Red Riding

Amanda Seyfried takes on the titular role which is a twist on the classic tale. The story depicts a village which is terrorised by a werewolf- which could be any of the village members. Gary Oldman, Julie Christie and quite a few other well known names also star. Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke helms.

Conan the Barbarian

Jason Momoa stars as Conan, the muscular warrior previously played by the inimitable Schwarznegger. Ron Perlman co-stars and Stephen Lang will play the main bad guy. Let's hope it is as violent as the original and the film studio don't decide to give it a 12A rating!!!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Jack Sparrow is back, earning from what I hear a very lucrative fee for Johnny Depp. He is joined by Penelope Cruz, Geoffrey Rush and Ian McShane who plays Blackbeard. Not one of my favourite movie series' but probably worth a watch.

Stay posted for movies for 2011...
