Speed Racer
The Mummy: Curse of the Dragon
Hellboy 2: The Golden army
The Dark Knight
Be Kind rewind
The Strangers
30 days of Night
Trick R'Treat
JJ Abrams Untitled Monster movie

Yes, there's an Iron Man movie coming. A sneak peek was shown at Comic-Con this year.

Sorry I missed it. Eh, I'll catch it in the theater and see it all at once.

It's going to be VERRRRRRRRY GOOD! Robert Downey Jr. is Tony Stark, Gweneth Paltrow is Pepper Pot and the villains they mentioned in the film are Obadiah Shane and Iron Monger. I don't know alot about Iron Man's history but still.

The images, the teaser clip at comic con, the armor designs, everything I have seen makes this movie look incredibly bad ass and a BIG return for quality comic book super hero movies, outside of the likes of Batman and Spider man.

I really think Iron Man is going to be excellent, it has the feel and look of a Grade A quality super hero flick.

I also wanna see Wolverine if that's released next year. Hopefully it has the same style as X2.

In 2008, I'm looking forward to Synecdoche New York (Charlie Kaufman's comeback, now also in the director's chair, after the masterful Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind), Be Kind Rewind (everybody see the trailer, it's hysterical), Sweeney Todd (if WB doesn't butcher it too much), Charlie Wilson's War (it's Aaron Sorkin! it's gotta be good, right? ...right?), Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, The Darjeeling Limited, Fanboys, Ponyo On A Cliff, The Dark Knight, Cloverfield orwhateveritendsupbeingcalled, The Fantastic Mr. Fox (Roald Dahl! Wes Anderson! Animation! The ultimate awesomeness collission!), the 4 Futurama direct-to-DVD features, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Horton Hears A Who, Get Smart (the trailer actually makes the remake look good, I'm as surprised as you are), There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Burn After Reading, Bee Movie (yup, it comes out in 2008 around here), Watchmen (my favorite graphic novel of all-time on the big screen!), and of course, WALL-E, which after reading the complete plot looks like the greatest animated feature ever produced in the history of mankind.

And I bet I'm forgetting a whole bunch of movies.

EDIT: Told you so.

From what I understand, it's going to be all done in flashbacks so it can avoid the issue of being classified a "sequel" or a "prequel". Wolverine is going to have his background explained, his training, his history with the Weapon X program and more of his lost memories.

The most REALLY interesting tidbit about the Wolverine movie is the fact that both Brain Cox and Tyler Mane are coming back to play as Colonel Stryker and Sabertooth. Hell yes! The creators say they purposely didn't give Sabertooth many lines or much depth in the first film intentionally for this spin off.

The idea is to show that Wolverine soon realizes just how important Sabertooth, Stryker, and Lady Deathstrike were to him in the past after realizing what he did to them in the present. I LOVE Sabertooth so hearing that he's going to be back and have a bigger role is VERY big for me .
