Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of 2009

top10anticipatedmovies

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

t10warcraft

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

t10jurassic

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

t10friday13

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

t10peewee

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

t10transformers

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

t10watchmen

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

t10gijoe

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

t10greyskull

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

t10wolverine

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!!!!

  2. Dan August 8th, 2008 at 3:48 pm

    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 :)

  3. Sensible Honky August 8th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    All of these movies will suck

  4. Julian Buttersweets August 8th, 2008 at 4:01 pm

  10. Marco August 8th, 2008 at 4:40 pm

    How can you forget TERMINATOR SALVATION?!

  11. Gooch August 8th, 2008 at 4:42 pm

    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?

  12. Ty Miles August 8th, 2008 at 4:43 pm

    They need to get Kimbo Slice in the A-Team movie. That would be scary. Scary dude!

  13. anders August 8th, 2008 at 4:47 pm

    hello ? avatar ?

  14. jp August 8th, 2008 at 4:49 pm

    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

  15. Mike August 8th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

    Jesus Christ what a shitty lineup of movies. Is this the best hollywood can come up with?

  16. Zach August 8th, 2008 at 5:19 pm

    You must be a comic book nerd. These movies are goign to suck …hardcore suck at that.

  17. wdwillis August 8th, 2008 at 5:37 pm

    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.

  18. zeeol August 8th, 2008 at 5:50 pm

    WoW movie isnt for sur

  19. Tim August 8th, 2008 at 6:00 pm

    Arrested Development the Movie.
    All of these blow.

  20. jeff August 8th, 2008 at 6:08 pm

    Chappyreport.

    All your jokes fail

  21. Jason G August 8th, 2008 at 6:24 pm

    What about “V” The Movie??? I know, it was just announced and might not be ready until O’10.

  22. sb August 8th, 2008 at 6:31 pm

    Oh great. More fantasy cartoons. I can….hardly………wait.
    Doesn’t anybody have a real human story to tell anymore?

  23. balls August 8th, 2008 at 6:34 pm

    Really? No Arrested Development?

  24. blah August 8th, 2008 at 7:06 pm

    No Public Enemies? Terminator? Meh, do some research.

  25. gene August 8th, 2008 at 8:41 pm

    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

  26. NB August 8th, 2008 at 8:51 pm

    How is the Arrested Development movie not on here?

  27. Cyrious Garnetski August 9th, 2008 at 12:20 am

    The top ten kid huh. When is your eleventh birthday?

  28. Mr. Spore August 9th, 2008 at 12:52 am

    I really hope they don’t ruin my childhood memories of Pee Wee’s playhouse.

  29. Brent August 9th, 2008 at 1:20 am

    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?

  30. Donny August 9th, 2008 at 2:18 am

    How can none of you realize this is a joke?

  31. lkj;lkj; August 9th, 2008 at 3:26 am

    Where the Wild Things Are

  32. acosmin August 11th, 2008 at 3:48 pm

    I was hoping you’d leave my links in the footer… but I see you don’t want to! :(

  35. Krista Monkey August 13th, 2008 at 7:07 am

    Most importantly…. how did you forget the Fraggle Rock movie?!! That’s the most anticipated movie of LIFE!!

  36. MoNSoN August 13th, 2008 at 10:01 am

    Angels & Demons will be awesome. Why isnt that one on the list?

  37. Alan August 13th, 2008 at 1:41 pm

    Halifax’s favorite A Team character was VAN.

  38. Stevie Wonder August 13th, 2008 at 1:54 pm

    I am psyched for the Warcraft movie. Yeah, I’m that much of a nerd. (At least I don’t write fanfiction, though…)

  39. hasta August 13th, 2008 at 11:25 pm

    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*

  40. Manny August 14th, 2008 at 6:52 am

    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.

  41. hasil August 14th, 2008 at 8:06 am

    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?

  42. cherylt August 15th, 2008 at 4:08 pm

    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.

  43. ielectalk August 17th, 2008 at 8:40 am

    ohmy…
