Megan's Upcoming Movies List of DOOM! (2009-2010 edition)
Because I woke up at 5:30 this morning and was bored I decided that it was about time that I starting researching upcoming movies for the new year and the years to come. And seeing as I will never be able to recall it all in conversation I figured I'd post a list here to share some of my findings. Some of these movies are ones I'm really looking forward to, some could go either way, and most just make me cringe at the very thought of their creation. Anyway, I'm starting with my 2009 and 2010 lists because, frankly, they're shorter. I'm scouraging all of IMDB here and it's going to take a while to go through all of 2008 (especially considering that there are over 5,000 titles to sift through.) Also, this list is going mostly by titles only, so they're mainly remakes, sequels, book adaptions, anime adaptions, and video game adaptions (in other words, stuff I've already heard of). I'm sure there's more to look forward to, but I'm going to have to wait for more info or trailers before I can pass judgement on the new stuff. These movies also range from filming to the earliest delevopmental stages so I don't know all of the plot synopsises, especially the stuff in 2010. Still, I've my added opinions when I felt the need to comment and I've tried to give hints for stuff you might not know about. Also, the 2009 list is longer than 2010 list so I've divided it up into catergories based on how I feel about the project. Sadly, the cringe worthy list is far longer that my happy list. But it is amusing none-the-less. Enjoy ^_^
