Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2009
- Filed under: Entertainment
- Date: Aug 6,2008
The IMDB.com has 3,496 upcoming films listed for 2009. Taking in to account that about 70% of those will be pushed back, cancelled or buried away and never heard from again. From the remaining 30% I have picked what I believe to be the TOP 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2009.
10. Warcraft
Rumored with very little information but also one of the most inevitable movies due to the success of the online game of the same name. If you thought there were alot of nerds in line for Lord of the Rings, just wait until you see the mob of priests and paladins standing outside your local theater on that day.
9. Jurassic Park IV: Extinction
Trying desperately to make a real comeback, Jurassic Park is at it again only this time reenlisting the help of former JP actress Laura Dern to give it some story cred as if that will help. I still think my idea of having a T-rex eat Jeff Goldblum, crap him out and have scientists clone a Goldblum army to battle velociraptors would completely revive the series.
8. Friday The 13th
Jason’s back, again…but for the first time. Hoping for the success (if you can call it that) of fellow horror remakes like Halloween and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, a studio has decided to retell the story of Voorhees but it is unknown if it will still just be his mother wearing the famed hockey mask. Oops…should have said “spoiler alert”.
7. Pee-Wee’s Playhouse: The Movie
I’m not sure if there will ever be enough time passed for us all to forget the Pee-Wee Herman theater incident but Paul Rueben is dusting of the grey suit anyway. Personally, I’d rather see Ruebens portray his character from the movie Blow and call it Derek Foreal’s Playhouse.
6. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Optimus and Shia are back with another surefire blockbuster with giant transforming robots and smart-ass-ery abound. I was okay with the first one and as long as they stick to what worked it should succeed. While more Megan Fox couldn’t hurt, this will most likely just be another fun, Michael Bay Movie-Reel-Of-Explosions flick.
5. Watchmen
Who’s watching the Watchmen in 2009? Anyone who wants an adult comic book movie with some actual depth and fantastic storytelling. Fanboys will be going crazy and if done correctly it could turn into something so unique that others will try to imitate it, albeit poorly.
4. G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
Part of me wants to jump for joy will excitement over seeing my favorite toys of the 80’s reenacting all those battles I had on the bedroom floor when I was a kid, the other part wants me to hunt down and kill whoever made the decision to change the appearance of every character I cared about. I understand that some characters might be a little behind the times as far as their appearance but if this movie is taking place in the future, they could have at least left in the lasers.
3. Greyskull: Masters of the Universe
Like most movies starring Dolph Lundgren, it’s for the best if we just forgot they ever happened. This is not the He-Man you remember but from the sounds of it, you won’t care. It’s been said that this will be Lord of the Rings meets The Matrix with some Batman Begins thrown in. An edgy, almost R-rated version of itself. No jokes, no campy characters and absolutley no Orko, just a bad-ass combination of sorcery and high-tech weapons and even more bad-ass warriors.
2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine
After seeing a sneak peek at the trailer for this movie, I’m not entirely sure about it being an origin story. I happen to know a little about Wolverine and can’t see how the Blob, Emma Frost or Gambit fit into this part of the timeline. On the other hand…Gambit, Emma Frost, and Deadpool are in this movie so what the hell am I complaining about?! So honestly, I don’t care if it’s true to the comic as I have already read them and I am desperate for something new and something Marvel.
1. The A-Team
“In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A-Team.”
HELL YEAH. As long as they keep the casting under control and don’t go all Starsky and Hutch on this one it could be the movie I’ve been waiting years for. The only thing I don’t think I’ll be able to get past is someone other than Mr. T playing B.A. Baracus (especially if it’s Ice Cube who is rumored).

Most of these movies would suck!!!!
There’s no way JP4, WOW and He-Man will be ready for 2009. 2010 most likely. And how could you NOT include Terminator: Salvation in this list?! Watchmen is my pick for most anticipated. It’ll be interesting to see how GI Joe performs around the world, as the toy success didn’t really spread anywhere else outside of the US. Still, Sienna Miller in latex should be enough for most people
All of these movies will suck
What, no mention of the Arrested Development movie? These all look like bad jokes.
WHOA CLOVERFIELD!!!!!?????
Inglorious B”stards??
Kind of like your mom.
watchmen trailer blew me away …
it was great …
Warcraft
for super nerds
Jurassic Park IV: Extinction
the last two sucked
Friday The 13th

Pee-Wee’s Playhouse: The Movie
I wonder if the is a special apperence with Micheal Jackson
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
okay I still have my transformer from when I was a kid
Watchmen
what ever happened to have a nice day asshole
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra
I heard this is the puss version that is politically correct
Greyskull: Masters of the Universe
I think Madonna is going to play Skeletor. House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi would do a good job too
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
as long as they dont make a XXX men I’ll go see it
The A-Team
Ice cube is going to make it cool
Bruce Willis might play Hannable
and tha tool Woody Harrison might play “Face”
How can you forget TERMINATOR SALVATION?!
Half of those movies aren’t even happening in 2009. Wolverine is the only one with any potential. How the fuck did this make the front page of digg?
They need to get Kimbo Slice in the A-Team movie. That would be scary. Scary dude!
hello ? avatar ?
all of these movies will suck. either you are a comic nerd or stuck in the 80’s but to call these the most anticipated in a normal logical society is absurd
Jesus Christ what a shitty lineup of movies. Is this the best hollywood can come up with?
You must be a comic book nerd. These movies are goign to suck …hardcore suck at that.
ok, the a-team movie is most likely nto gonna be great. ice cube has yet to ever act in a movie, so who knows. as for JP4… i thought they already made that, with mathew broderick?
as for peewee’s playhouse the movie…
well, paul reubens was a moderately funny comedian back in his day. but he never was even accused of molesting kid’s like MJ. he was just whacking it in an adult theatre playing adult movies with adults…
also, i really doubt the WOW movie as anything but hype ATM, especially for 2k9… i know ewe boll made a pitch for it, and they tossed him out on his ass.
WoW movie isnt for sur
Arrested Development the Movie.
All of these blow.
Chappyreport.
All your jokes fail
What about “V” The Movie??? I know, it was just announced and might not be ready until O’10.
Oh great. More fantasy cartoons. I can….hardly………wait.
Doesn’t anybody have a real human story to tell anymore?
Really? No Arrested Development?
No Public Enemies? Terminator? Meh, do some research.
how amazing > 10 new tires to keep the public rolling with anticipation
… and each new tire seems to be a recap of old ideas
… does anybody else think the media industry should be turned over to the public so the moms-n-pops of the world can produce fresh new content?
… oh, but if mom-n-pop made something new, they wouldn’t have the political muscle to turn their copywright into a lifetime annunity
… so maybe the problem is that the media is too focused on producing a lifetime annunity rather than a new tire to keep the public rolling in anticipation
How is the Arrested Development movie not on here?
The top ten kid huh. When is your eleventh birthday?
I really hope they don’t ruin my childhood memories of Pee Wee’s playhouse.
James Cameron’s Avatar? Valkyrie? Where the Wild Things Are? Star Trek? The Wolfman? As others said, Terminator?
How did you miss all of these?
How can none of you realize this is a joke?
Where the Wild Things Are
I was hoping you’d leave my links in the footer… but I see you don’t want to!
Could you please specify what you mean or who you are? Thanks…
well this theme was designed by me you can see this on my blog.

Most importantly…. how did you forget the Fraggle Rock movie?!! That’s the most anticipated movie of LIFE!!
Angels & Demons will be awesome. Why isnt that one on the list?
Halifax’s favorite A Team character was VAN.
I am psyched for the Warcraft movie. Yeah, I’m that much of a nerd. (At least I don’t write fanfiction, though…)
are these for real??? or is this some strange, sick joke? a WORLD OF WARCRAFT MOVIE?! you have to be kidding me. *hides in shame for what the world is coming to*
Playing World of Warcraft doesn’t make you a nerd … personally I like to dominate all games, I hope the way they make the film will be good.
Animation would make it a bit childish. Although if they make it with actors it will be extremely hard, but nothing short of what Lord of the Rings have achieved.
hey, man. There’s noooo need to remake the He-Man movie. I seem to recall watching it at least once a day when I was 6, and Dolph Lundgren’s pretty badass. Remember Rocky IV?
What happened to musicals, comedies, and animation? This should be retitled, “MY” Hotly anticipated movies of 2009. But nice list. Good to know what people are thinking about.
ohmy…
