I can think of two right off-hand...

Transformers and Grindhouse. 

I REALLY hope the former doesn't suck.  The original series was one of the foundations of my childhood, and to have it's memory soiled by a s**tty film would really get me upset...

The Blob, The Fly, and The Creature From The Black Lagoon are (alledgedly) getting remade in 2007. I look forward to those, just to see how bad Hollywood screws them up :smile:

Spider-Man 3!!!!

It looks epic and I pray it's just as golden as '2'

Spider-Man 3
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Transformers
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Maybe Ghost Rider

Doh, forgot about that one!  :)

I am interested in what "Transformers" will turn out like, but what I am looking forward to is "Spiderman 3."

The 5 films that I'm looking forward to this year are:

• 300
• Grindhouse
• Wild Hogs
• Black Sheep
• Host
• Smokin Aces

Grindhouse is the only one I'm even remotely looking forward to.  I think it's a travesty that they are remaking Creature From the Black Lagoon.  Now they are going to take a dump on The Blob and The Fly (for a second time) also?  It figures.

Me too, I find that re-makes of classic movies are either only just tolerable or more often just plain awful and yet I still watch them in the hope that I might see an improvement on the original or at least a different take on the original. I think that if they were smart they would take the original story line, expand on it a little bit, and then add in the kind of modern CGI that we've all come to know, an example of this would be Peter Jackson's King Kong, a great movie even if it is a little too long.

I just watched the trailer for Wild Hogs, I work with a bunch of biker wannabes, this looks like something we'll enjoy. Thank you Scott.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Transformers
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

They've managed to harness a pretty decent cast for the upcoming Transformers film (Jon Voight, John Turturro, Bryan Cox) but you'll have to look far to find a cartoon featuring such a major player as Orson Welles ( his final film) as one of the voices!

While I expect it to finally be the weak link in the chain, I'm so there for Live Free Or Die Hard.  Apart from that...hmm...

Grindhouse, pretty much entirely for "They call him...Machete."

Michael Bay's Transformers...verdict's still out on that.  Bay gives good carnage, though, so I might try to suck it up and give it a shot.

Smokin' Aces, oddly enough, looks so incredibly BSC that it might be a good action-comedy.

Not to mention Leonard Nemoy and Robert Stack

Yes! If another Blob remake is unavoidable, I'd love to see it set in the late 1950's with the appropriate costumes, set design and music.

Why hasn't anyone showed interest in the two upcoming VIKING films of 2007:
"Pathfinder" stars Karl Urban as an abandoned viking child that is raised by American Indians after being left behind during a viking raid. He then helps his foster  tribe to fight off future Viking attacks. The trailer made this movie lookpretty good and I was shocked that it got pushed from January all the way until (I believe) April.

Also be on the look out for "The Outlander," a sci-fi retelling of Beowulf. An alien monster crash lands on Earth with a taste for Danish cuisine. Luckily for King Hrothgar, a lone bounty hunter from space has arrived to take down the man-eating monster.

And there's a lot of complaints about all the (alleged and confirmed) remakes coming up in 2007... but what about the crappy parodies? Namely "Epic Movie" (which looked kinda fun) and "Superhero?"  :teddyr:

I was interested in "The Pathfinder" until I read the plot summary.  Vikings in America before the colonization is the perfect setting to include fantasy or myth elements in the movie, but it seems they want to go with a strictly "this could have happened" script.  Will intend to see it on DVD, but the plot dropped it low on my list.  Had not heard of "The Outsider."  I will put it on my radar once it hits home video.

Pathfinder I am interested in. I'm just not trying to get my hopes up about it. I seem to failing with Spider-Man 3 though.

Blacksheep is also what I want to see. I am also hoping that the 2nd Blob remake will be good. The second Fantastic Four already looks better than the first.

Grindhouse.

 "Now they are going to take a dump on The Blob and The Fly (for a second time) also?"

i thought cronenberg did an excellent job with the fly remake. The blob remake was really good too. do i see them being better remakes now? hell no the only thing they can do now is make them s**ttier because the studios could give a good goddamn about making a good film they just want to please all these friggen teeny boppers and make money. so we are probably looking at watered down, pg-13 crapfest with s**t acting and a bad story ( i dont know how the f**k this is possible, its already written for them, but they manage to somehow ala when a stranger calls.) with "the Blob" or "The Fly" title slapped on its ass and shoved down our throats and we are supposed to smile with satisfaction. although CFTBL remake is supposed to be helmed by Guillermo Deltoro so i got some faith in that, but we will see wont we.

i got my watching cut out for me.

Rescue Dawn -- I want to see this more than anything this year.  It's a new Werner Herzog film based on true events that he "documented" in Little Dieter Needs to Fly.  Christian Bale plays Dieter Dengler who was a German who came to America and joined the Navy so that he could pursue his dream of being a pilot.  He's late shot down over Laos and imprisoned, but plans an escape with some other captives.  This will be the first Herzog film I'll get to see on the big screen and I'm excited!

Grindhouse has potential.

The Host -- It sounds interesting and I want to just find out what all the hype is about.

Fido -- Here's the IMDB description:  "Timmy Robinson's best friend in the whole wide world is a six-foot tall rotting zombie named Fido. But when FIDO eats the next-door neighbor, Mom and Dad hit the roof, and Timmy has to go to the ends of the earth to keep Fido a part of the family."  Yay!

Zodiac -- David Fincher's movie about the Zodiac killer.  Could be decent.

300 -- I'm sure it won't be much of a history lesson about Spartans but it'll sure be full o' bloodshed.

Sunshine -- New Danny Boyle movie about a shuttle crew sent to "re-ignite" the sun after a previous crew was lost.  That sounds lame, but I think it's supposed to deal with the crew going mad.

Beowulf -- Zemeckis is making this with the motion capture technology like he used for Polar Express, although improved a bit.  Supposedly he wants to release and NC-17 IMAX 3D version, and a PG-13 standard 35mm version.  I doubt that he'll get away with a big release for an NC-17 film, but perhaps an R rating.

The Mist -- I hope that this makes it out this year.  Frank Darabont is adapting the Stephen King short story of the same name.  There's no reason that it can't follow the story exactly, and if it does, it should be really cool.

Reign Over Me -- Adam Sandler sort of looks like Bob Dylan in the trailer.

Oh, I want to see Spider-Man 3, too.
