Here's some upcoming movies I'm looking forward to: Ocean's Eleven Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon & Julia Roberts. Las Vegas-based crime drama remake. Dec. 7th Matt & Brad would make such a cute couple The Royal Tenenbaums Luke & Owen Wilson, Gwyenth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Gene Hackman & Bill Murray. This is Wes Anderson's follow-up to Rushmore. Dec. 25thShould be really funny The Shipping News Kevin Spacey, Jullianne Moore, Cate Blanchet & Judi Dench. Adaptation of a pulitzer prize novel. Dec 25th I smell a bunch of Oscar nominations. Shallow Hal Jack Black, Gwyneth Paltrow & Jason Alexander. The Farrelly Brothers latest. Nov 9th Jack Black as a womanizer??? The One Jet Li. Premise sounds like Highlander + Twin Dragons. Nov. 2nd. Hope it's better than Kiss of the Dragon Bad Company Chris Rock & Anthony Hopkins. Should make an interesting odd coupling. Dec. Could be really good or really bad Zoolander Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson & Will Ferrell. Wilson and Stiller play male models. Sept 28th. I think this could be a sleeper hit Storytelling Directed by Todd Solondz. Oct. His 2 previous films were so incredibly twisted yet interesting Other fall films: Harry Potter Lord of the Rings Elijah Wood & Ian McKellan Vanilla Sky Tom Cruise & Penelope Cruz Gangs of New York Leonardo DiCaprio & Cameron Diaz The Majestic Jim Carrey (drama). Ali Will Smith & Jamie Foxx Riding In Cars With Boys Drew Barrymore & Steve Zahn A Beautiful Mind Russell Crowe & Ed Harris The Time Machine Guy Pearce & Jeremy Irons K-Pax Kevin Spacey & Jeff Bridges From Hell Johnny Depp & Heather Graham Training Day Denzel Washington & Ethen Hawke Spy Game Robert Redford & Brad Pitt Bandits Bruce Willis & Billy Bob Thornton Domestic Disturbance John Travlota & Vince Vaughn Collateral Damage Arnold Schwarzegger Rock Star Mark Wahlberg & Jennifer Aniston
The one I absolutely cannot wait to see is The Lord of the Rings. From Hell and Rockstar also to be pretty good, IMO.
I know I'm forgetting quite a few and didn't even mention films from the stv market but anyways, here is my fall list. (though some are summer and winter releases) Jeepers Creepers-Chud.com has been prepping this as one of the top movies of the year. I rarely disagree with them. Lord of the Rings-Gandalf, 'nuff said. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back-I'm already salivating over the dvd commentary on this one. Ghosts of Mars-It doesn't matter what Carpenter does, I'll always watch his films. From Hell-Depp and Jack the Ripper, I'll pay 8.50 for that. K-Pax-I enjoyed the novel but would of had a different ending. Ocean's Eleven-All star lineup of actors, although the original wasn't that swell. The Majestic-I'm still the only person who thinks Carey can act. Almost-We all get our jollies one way or another.
outlaw, i see you read the same copy of entertainment weekly that i read! some films NOT listed in the fall preview issue are Double Whammy(dir by Tom Dicillo) starring Denis Leary, Liz Hurley, Steve Buscemi- a social parody about a cop that throws his back out and becomes the laughing stock of New York City Phone Booth(dir by Joel Schmacher) starring Colin Farrell, Forest Whitaker, Katie Holmes, Radha Mitchell- an interseting concept, this film will take place in real time. the plot is based around a slimy publicist(Farrell) who gets trapped inside a New YOrk City phonebooth; on the other end of the line is a sniper who is aiming his rifle directly at him. the rest of the film will actually take place in the phone booth- lets see if schumacher can pull a Falling Down on this one and give us a real suspense/action/thriller oh yeah, go see hedwig and the angry inch
wow, phone booth sounds really bizzare but cool. I have never heard of this Lord Of the RIngs stuff, but since its going to be a huge 3 movie series i guess ill have to check it out...
I have yet to pick up the Premiere or EW, so my full commentary won't come 'til later, but I can say, based on previews, that these movies are the ones I'm most excited about: <B>The Royal Tenenbaums Zoolander Training Day Shallow Hal Ali Gangs of New York From Hell Harry Potter K-Pax</B>
The best single shot real time movie of all time is Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope". The designed this amazingly elaborate set with a spiral staircase cut in half so they could follow people up and down it in single shots without getting wires tangled. Imagine a single shot film in the 50's and 60's when the cameras were GIGANTIC. That's just amazing.
