Well the end of 2015 is fast approaching, so I figured I would start a new thread for upcoming films for 2016.

THE GODS OF EGYPT

Directed by Alex Proyas of Dark City fame.

On one level it has the cheesiness of Wrath/Clash of the Titans and the old Sinbad movies, which I freely admit to enjoying.
On another level, it might be Prince of Persia all over again...which was unwatchable garbage imo. And wow, ancient Egypt sure is white! lol

Hmm. The movie looks kinda silly, but I have tremendous respect for Alex Proyas.

I'm looking forward to Cap. America: Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse, Star Trek Beyond, and Rogue One (the Star Wars spinoff).

I saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding this year for the first time at my wife's recommendation, and I have to admit I liked it. I don't know if it needed a sequel, but I'll keep an open mind about it.

I wish I could say I knew of some film that wasn't a sequel that I'm looking forward to. I'm really starting to enjoy more offbeat films like Primer and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. However, by their nature, those films are hard to know about in advance.

By Osiris that 'Gods of Egypt' trailer looks terrible. I'm starting to think the inclusion in a movie of any actor 'who is primarily known for being in Game of Thrones' is a near guarantee of it being full of suck ;-) (e.g. Terminator: Jenny-Smith, Pompeii, Hitman: Agent 47).

"2oolander" looks like it could be great from that trailer's selection of jokes. "La-may" priceless :lol:.

Apart from anything Star Wars based, I'm probably looking forward 'Deadpool' the most.

Trailer for Duncan Jones' Warcraft movie...


...I found myself laughing out loud at several moments but I don't think it was supposed to be funny, I think it's supposed to be deadly serious. Shame as I loved DJ's other movies.

The cast for this movie looks insanely good...


It looks kinda like 'Fast and Furious' for adults. Directed by John Hillcoat, who has 3-for-3 fantastic movies to his name so far.

I'm luke warm about the trailer for this remake...


Please don't let it suck, the original TV show is a comedy institution.

Love Shane Black and this looks FANTASTIC!!! I really hope his Destroyer project is still moving forward, as this trailer perfectly captures the delicate balance of humour and violence that adaptation requires. :)

interesting that went straight to home video, though going through netflix makes that route sound not as bad/cheap/shameful. it's likely that a netflix debut decreases distribution costs, compared to a wide theatrical release. (although there seems to be a limited imax release in the works.)

if the sequel's any good, i might have to mess with it. :D

I'm greeting that 'Crouching Tiger' trailer with deep suspicion. Putting aside that the trailer music choice is just dreadful... The first film was in Mandarin, so hearing the characters speak in English is just wierd. The film looks really cheap which is down to the lacklustre direction, bland TV cinematography, the heavy use of cheap CGI and I imagine budget. The original movie looked really expensive with gorgeous location scenery and live-action stunts.

My understanding is Netflix financed and greenlit the film. The limited run is the additional factor, the release on Netflix was always the distribution model planned.

Ah, shit—you're right. This movie's in English. I can't subtitle that.

and the fantasy world's continuity is jacked up if they switch from Mandarin to English 15 years later. (unless the British arrive a few centuries early!)

Hard to say from the trailer whether the story will have the emotional depth of an ang lee production (which this isn't), or whether it comes down to chasing and chasing the macguffin blade.

As some of you may know, I am a hardcore Edgar Rice Burroughs fan. I LOVED the movie John Carter.
I have watched almost every movie and tv incarnation of Tarzan, and I am still waiting for Hollywood to get it right...

...will this be the one???? ;)

^ I got mad about the first one until I went back and watched the old movies. I then realized that TMNT movies were always terrible and for kids. I can't say anything in the third one was better than that trailer. Plus when I finally watched the one from a year or two ago it was with my nephew and he loved it. It was actually the moment I stopped being mad about all these terrible versions of things I grew up with, realizing that the versions I loved were mostly terrible and I'm not the target audience anymore.

TL;DR - Yeah, it looks awful.

^^ I thought that looked pretty fun actually. Maybe it's just Run-D.M.C. making me like it, or I've gone insane or something.
