Upcoming movies that look awesome

Who doesn't love a good movie trailer?  Most times they're better than the movie itself, and I'm sure that's the going to be the case with a few of these movies below.  But with so many bad movies coming out every week, its reassuring to see some with promise.  Here are a few I'm looking forward to in the next few months, in no particular order:

Dark Shadows
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton.  Let's hope this makes up for the last few duds.

Iron Sky

Seventy years ago the Nazis built a space station on the dark side of the moon and have been hiding there ever since.  Now they are coming to finish what they started.  This is going to be a must see.

To Rome with Love

Woody Allen.  Rome.  Great cast.  Good enough for me.

TED

Not what I was expecting.  I'm sure you've seen the trailer by now, but in case you haven't, watch this.  

Snow White and the Huntsman

Two words: epic perfection.  I'm looking more forward to this movie than any other.  It looks incredible.  I've always thought they should go back and make all the original fairy tails really dark and R rated- you know, how they were originally intended.  This looks to have done just that.  Oh, and who better to play the evil queen other than Charlize Theron?  Yes, please.

And because it looks so awesome, here's another one:

Sorry, but if you're intrigued by the first two then you'll definitely want to watch this sneak peek:

Moonrise Kingdom

About time for another Wes Anderson movie.  He is one of my all time favorite directors and I hope he never stops doing what he does.  As usual, the cast is amazing...give me anything with Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman and I'm there.

The Pirates! Band of Misfits

Changing pace a little, this looks great.  Great to see stop motion movies are still in, even though it is in 3D...

Prometheus
This.  Looks.  Insane.  Can't wait to see this on the BIG screen.  You need to watch this in HD.

The Dictator

Let's hope this is a little more Borat and a little less Bruno.

The Dark Knight Rises

Duh.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Who doesn't love a good historical fiction?  I just hope the do this movie justice without going too far over the top.  We'll see...  Also, it was filmed in New Orleans. 

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Hype

I really enjoyed the book (along with the rest of the world), but in the capable hands of David Fincher the movie might be even better. This is the guy who brought you Se7en, Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Social Network...among others. He is one of the best filmmakers around, and I would trust him with anything. He is a perfectionist, and that's a good thing.

They are doing a brilliant job of marketing this movie. They've even made a fake Hard Copy episode of the actually kidnapping of Harriet Vanger, with authentic commercials from the period and complete with all the tracking issues of an old VHS copy. Brilliant. Check that out here.

If you're a fan of the book and you've seen all the teaser trailers, you know its gonna be a good one. But they've just released an 8-minute trailer that makes you want to see it even more. Check it out.
