Bacon did a great post of movies coming with Trailers but here is some stuff for your eyes that is coming a bit more down the line.

General:
Zoolander 2 Script is done and is coming, Will Ferrell will return as Mugatu and Stiller and Wilson are in it.

Prometheus - Ridley Scott
This was supposed to be the real Aliens sequel, While Ridley liked Aliens and hated the others he wanted to continue where he left off. Writing the script and ideas and seeing all the prequels, sequels and reboots hitting the big screen his script evolved into something unique.
Not much is known yet about this as he is really keeping it closed and secret But apparently it does have "DNA of Aliens" In there. So maybe it is about that Big huge ship they found and the Alien race who were huge etc and picking up aliens egg's from somewhere to study right at the end to tie it in? Who knows.

HANGOVER 2

Saw the monkey - SOLD!
Cant wait!

Three Musketeers


CAPTIN AMERICA


hmmm...
Think to always note that on set photo's of costumes are always a bit dodgy. As you know your camera will be filming with a certain spec for a certain cinematography style and costumes can be over done so they work on film.
Hard to say till you see the trailer but I personally do not like the costume.

CONAN
Shown before I think but..

That is the big guy from Stargate Atlantis

MUPPETS

Are you all ready for a new Muppets movie?

Mission Imposible Again

Was never going to happen, but of course it is :)


RIDDICK

Now while this is a modified graphic from the game it has been proved for the concept of the movie which is in the works

Vin has his own games company, he is a gamer, he is a "techy" and that is him on Facebook and Twitter.

SHERLOCK HOLMES 2

Can not wait for this
(He dresses as a women)

SMURFS

GOD NO!

Next Twilight Movie

If you care, lol

SPIDERMAN REBOOT

Looks a lote more like - Young lad who has basic sewing skills making a suit for himself out of cool fabric found. Rather then - Oh look I have a production quality costume!

X-men First Class Prequel

Probably will be crap.
This image though is not approved release. Someone did a bad photoshop and released this with production skills and the big wigs and director were pissed!
Costumes only come at the end apparently and its a bad photoshop of green screen pictures.

DEViANCE

nice post.

Only thing I am excited about there is Riddick! Awesome news, I cant beleive the franchise has been neglected so much it is such an amazing and detailed story should have been done ages ago.

Yeah I can't really get excited about any of these cash cows except for Riddick. I've not even seen Sherlock Holmes yet so can't get excited about a sequal.

A Hangover sequal could be good, but is likely to die of being overdone to death, the same for Zoolander.

Prometheus is the only piece of original work it seems and could be very good, but then Ridley Scott can be hit and miss these days.

It's sad when there's one original piece of work in a thread full of films, the rest all being remakes/'reboots' (I hate that term), comic adaptations or sequals. Shows what the movie industry is about these days really doesn't it. It's becoming as hollow as the popmusic industry, but at least the music industry is accessible to regular people to make their own music.

On that digital music sales have slowed a lot and the music industry have declared Piracy!!! as they normally do.

The real causes are
1. Most stores because the music companies saw sales of legal downloads raised their prices. Itunes lost DRM but you pay quite a bit more. This put a lot of people off. I was buying more and more music through itunes and then slowed because of this. I pick my music more.
They just do not get it - Make them a great price and people just buy willy nilly. Xbox live games worked so well because that is exactly what people did. That has slowed because XBox Live games are a bit more involved, more quality but cost more. You again pick and choose what you want again.

2. A lot more people are turning to these finge band's, new start ups who all set up their own websites OR release their music on free services to get known. These then get picked up by a record label, release an album, we will buy it and then move on to the next band/singer unless they are awesome.
Even big name bands are offering their music for free OR many are leaving record labels as they realise they do not need them now, They can sell their digital music themselves.

I wish they stopped using Piracy as an excuse and made things better and more affordable and stop trying to rip us off.

TV Shows.
I missed one - I want to view it and have a free on Demand service. The quality is CRAP! and I can get a great looking version online in like 5-10 minutes tops to watch what was aired on TV for free or through TV Licence you pay. (Although it is all add based in NZ)

Once Netflix comes to my 360 here in New Zealand and if it is not Stupidly Expensive like the Zune Service offerings then I am in! But again if they offer crap and the free alternatives offer better quality and easier to get - Then of course you want to go down that road.

Quixoticish

X-Men First Class will be crap. Apparently that image is official and was officially released online, (20th Century Fox distributed it themselves) but the director pissed his pants because the reaction was so understandably bad and tried to deny all knowledge of it.

Sherlock Holmes 2 will be excellent as the first one was no doubt.

Conan will hopefully be fantastic and spawn a whole string of sequels that really expand an awesome franchise. As brilliant as the Arnie version of it was in its own right it wasn't really Conan as the novels depict him.

Mission Impossible; I'm intrigued. The first was good, the second not so good, the third was getting better, so hopefully we'll be back on top form with the fourth.

Spiderman looks good. The suit looks like something he's designed himself for wrestling, and the webs he shoots are supposed to be made with devices rather than through biological means. Plus stuntpeople in costume have been spotted actually swinging from building to building so hopefully they can keep the CGI to a minimum, something that really spoiled the last Spiderman films (along with Toby Maguire being annoying).

I would just like to add, i left all these out because they don't have trailers and as/when trailers came out i would have added them to the other thread.
