Post Which film are you most looking forward to in 2009?

* Watchmen – I can't wait to see this classic graphic novel on the bigscreen
* Crank 2 – The ultimate action franchise of the 'noughties' returns
* Star Trek – Will JJ Abrams reboot live long and prosper?
* Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – Bring back the battlin' bots!
* Avatar – James Cameron's 3D opus will rock!

How very dare you put Crank 2 in such exalted company. No human being would put it there!

Shouldn't you be watching (and reporting) the latest news and not films?

Naughty bad robot.

I'm looking forward to 'Where The Wild Things Are' and also Argento's 'Giallo'.

Re: Which film are you most looking forward to in 2009?

Avatar without a shadow of a doubt. I think its going to be bigger than The Dark Knight.

James Cameron, Sigourney weaver.. alien planet... recipe for total success.

A close second is probably Star Trek

I was getting worried there that no one had mentioned T4. Christian Bale is such a great actor, and the new direction of the Terminator films looks dark and gritty a la BSG re-imagining.

Watchmen I grew up with as a comic. Would have to be on the same quality level as LOTR for me to be impressed.

I was impressed with the new Trek movie ad. But I`m a big fan of the original series , and am just a bit confused why they couldnt put all the cash and effort into getting a new TV franchise off the ground.

Out of that list - none of them! I am a massive Star Trek fan but of the TNG/DS9 era - ergo the new movie will be unwatchable for me.

Re: Which film are you most looking forward to in 2009?

I'm thinking Transformers 2 and Star Trek,

Hopefully they might actually make the Halo movie

And I might be jumping the gun but can't wait to see the Bioshock movie!

Also Ghostbusters the game (i know it's not a film but it's gonna be close to one )

Cool Re: Which film are you most looking forward to in 2009?

Hi to all,

2009 will be a very interesting year for movies of which I am really looking forward to

James Camerons: AVATAR
J.J.Abrams: Star Trek
Not sure of the Director: Watchman
Not sure of the Director: Terminator 4
Michael Bay's: Transformers 2
Pixars new animation feature
Watchmen (looks very interesting)
A number of others that I have read about, but cannot remember the titles.

Bring them on
