Seth Rogen fatigue is setting in, so we left The Green Hornet off the list. Ditto to the inevitable Nightmare on Elm Street remake, even though it landed Jackie Earle Haley to play Freddy Krueger. Remakes of Clash of the Titans and Death at a Funeral and the possible Ben Stiller/Tom Cruise comedy The Hardy Men might be good, but there were too many other interesting movies to pick from.

Check out the 20 Most Anticipated Movies of 2010, here!

Seth Rogen fatigue is setting in, so we left The Green Hornet off the list. Ditto to the inevitable Nightmare on Elm Street remake, even though it landed Jackie Earle Haley to play Freddy Krueger. Remakes of Clash of the Titans and Death at a Funeral and the possible Ben Stiller/Tom Cruise comedy The Hardy Men might be good, but there were too many other interesting movies to pick from.

So what does that leave? Well, it’s an accepted fact that Hollywood has run out of ideas and is just coasting on remakes and sequels, so while putting together this list, we tried to come up with as many totally original movies as we could. In the end, we’ve got four sequels, three of which are based on books; four additional non-sequels based on books; three movies based on TV shows; and one based on a well-known legend.

That left only six original movies. Oh well. Despite that, we think we put together a damn good list. (more…)

After the amazingness that was this year’s The Dark Night, movie nerds the world over are awaiting director Chris Nolan’s inevitable followup. Since the movie made a pile of money, was a critical darling and even generated posthumous Oscar buzz for Heath Ledger, you can bet your ass they’re making a third Batman. The only question is… when?

Nolan hasn’t even signed on to make part three yet, mostly because he’s a perfectionist and is busy making sure the plot will be air tight before anything official happens. Good for him. But what are all the overly-anxious fanboys supposed to do in the meantime? Apparently, just make a bunch of stuff up.

Rumors have been swirling around new Batman castings, from Johnny Depp and/or Eddie Murphy playing the Riddler to Shia LaBeouf playing Robin to Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin to Rachel Weisz as Catwoman. But since the movie isn’t even officially happening yet, can you guess how many of those lies rumors are true?

Since all it takes to circulate a Batman casting rumor is a hope and a dream and a website, we’d like to go ahead and officially announce the latest casting announcements for Batman 3 (which, by the way, has officially been titled Batman: Again).

Zac Effron as Robin
Oh, you didn’t hear? The third Batman is actually going to be a musical. Ten-year-old girls and their moms rejoice! Since America will be in a full fledged Great Depression once this movie sees the light of day, studio execs are looking to the last Great Depression for inspiration. Turns out that when people are down on their luck, nothing lifts their spirits like song and dance. Expect Effron’s casting to anger the Comic-Con crowd at first, but then expect them to get over it when they find out it will equal ten-year-old girls in the audience.

Megan Fox as Batgirl
Hey Hollywood, here’s some free advice: If you want people to see your movie, put Megan Fox in it. It doesn’t matter if she can’t sing or dance or act, just make her look under the hood of a car once every fifteen minutes and your film will make lots money.

Gary Busey as The Riddler
Busey doesn’t have to act like the Riddler, he LIVES the Riddler. Have you seen his guest spots on Entourage? The man is a walking enigma! He is a snake eating its own tail, except with legs and riddle telling abilities. Multiply that by spandex and then divide it by him having to remain sober for a few months — the movie might suffer, but the reality TV show will be Nielsen’s catnip.

Meryl Streep as Catwoman
Well someone has to generate Oscar buzz in a Batman movie, and unfortunately the Academy only recognizes traditional acting talent, and not the new, more real talent that someone like Megan Fox brings to a project. Plus, rumor has it there’s a Catwoman Riddler sex scene in the works, so that should be good times.

Yeah, yeah, we know – it’s 2008. So why talk about the movies of 2009 so soon?

With the advent of viral marketing and extremely early teaser trailers being leaked eons before a movie is scheduled for release, you can never be too early to start talking about films. Hell, you’re lucky this list isn’t about the most anticipated movies of 2010, which could’ve been done just as easy – and it still would’ve been way behind the internet’s buzz schedule.

Some of these movies will be sure fire hits, while others are doomed to flop. Either way, we offer you the chance to share your opinion in the comment section.

Vote at the bottom for what you feel will be the best of 2009. (more…)

There’s a short list for franchises yet to be plundered by Hollywood studios, let alone ones of high quality and deserving of being resuscitated by the right people. If there’s one franchise (and character) that could be revived and retain its vibe in a new film it would be Pee-Wee Herman.

In an interview with MTV Paul Reubens said that he’s toyed with the idea of not one but two new Pee-Wee movies. Fans of weirdo comedies that border on the insane rejoice!

Reubens described both scripts in the interview, saying that one would be an extension of the hit show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse while the other would be darker in tone, telling the story of Pee-Wee as an overnight success in the music industry who signs on to Elvis-inspired musicals and has a hard time dealing with seedy Hollywood types.

Both scripts sound worthwhile, but Pee-Wee’s Adventure producer Tim Burton is “too booked” to helm either project. That’s bad news to any Pee-Wee enthusiast weaned on pure nostalgia. (more…)

Johnny Depp’s influence on the collegiate culture stems farther than just posters of Captain Jack Sparrow or the one where he’s smoking a cigarette on a piano.

He’s even infiltrated binge drinking.

It’s called Edward Fortyhands, and if you’re at all familiar with Depp’s work in Edward Scissorhands well then I’ve already pointed out the connection. If you haven’t taken a shot at completing the wondrous feat that is ductaping bottles of malt liquor to your hands well than you haven’t lived at all mate. Those who are unfamiliar with the “game” it’s real easy:

Step 1: Buy two “forties” of alcohol for each contestant. (Preferably malted, something along the lines of Colt 45 or old English- competing with forties of Coors Light isn’t very Fortyhands-like, in fact it’s downright What’s Eating Gilbert Grape-like). (more…)
