The 15 Most Anticipated Films of 2010

27 December 2009 10:16 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

So you’ve unwrapped all of your Christmas presents, received three copies of District 9 from multiple uncommunicative family members, and the year of 2009 is about to be wrapped up. The debate is over: 2009 has been a great year for film. So what do you do now?

Why, start thinking about what’s around the corner, of course!

While there’s less in the way of interesting sci-fi, as 2009 will surely be remembered for, 2010 has plenty of interesting new films in store, as well as some remakes, reboots and sequels. Here’s a list of the 15 most anticipated films of 2010, in order of release, followed by a minefield of movies you might consider avoiding.

The Wolfman (February 12)

26 December 2009 4:05 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Now that 2009 is so last year - well, almost - it's time to look forward to the next 12 months and the start of a new decade. Here we present our guide to 2010: the most promising newcomers, how the old guard are staying ahead of the game, plus the latest creative thinking in the arts, technology, politics and culture

1 Pop Ellie Goulding Ellie Goulding's success in 2010 may be preordained by industry insiders, but don't hold that against her. "I'm a country girl – I couldn't be less sceney if I tried," she laughs. Blessed with sirenlike tones and a gift for cleverly skewed pop, the 22-year-old Welsh singer-songwriter (pictured below) has already been named the winner of next year's Critics Choice Brit Award, last year bestowed on Florence + The Machine, and is putting the finishing touches to her debut album, due out in February.

New Tron Legacy Image Released

24 December 2009 10:52 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Disney has released a new image from next winter’s tentpole mega-blockbuster Tron: Legacy, which, in and of itself, doesn’t call for much celebration – but issued alongside it is a laundry list of writers credited with the story and screenplay, which at this point numbers a whopping Seven. This is rarely a good sign.

Of course, alongside this information is the reassuring mention of Daft Punk providing the score for the film.  We’ve seen Joseph Kosinski’s pitch video for this film, and I think we can all agree it’s far more impressive than such a thing has any right to be, so let’s approach the sure-to-be-blitzkrieg marketing campaign for the film with a sense of cautious optimism.

It helps that the original Tron has aged surprisingly well, and that Jeff Bridges is back on board for this sequel.  And that Disney’s confident enough »

New Banner for Tron Legacy

16 December 2009 1:35 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Above you will see the new banner for Disney’s upcoming 3D action flick Tron Legacy and like the previous marketing we’ve seen for the film, it looks very, very cool. The banner was originally released to ten lucky Tron Legacy Facebook fans who won the Tron Legacy Facebook contest we told you about last week, but now we all get to enjoy it.  My only question about the banner is why did they leave out the word “Legacy”?  Hopefully folks looking at this online will understand it’s a sequel and not a 3D remake of the original.

For those just tuning in, here’s the official synopsis:

Tron is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance »

Check This Out: New Tron Legacy Billboard Photo Unveiled

16 December 2009 1:18 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

So this doesn't really count as a poster, but it's close enough. Earlier this week, Disney installed a new billboard in Los Angeles (near Santa Monica Blvd and Westwood Blvd) for the upcoming Tron Legacy. The photo of the billboard (above) comes from AICN, where they also say that the photo will change every month from now until this is released next December. I wonder what else will show up? ComingSoon also landed a clean, high quality version of the banner image, which you can see below. This was also the "first photo" that was sent to select Facecbook fans as part of a promo they ran. So anyway, check it out below. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and is pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years.

Another Dazzling, Funky Look at Tron Legacy

16 December 2009 1:07 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

The original Tron had more than a few fans. This we know for sure. And the new film, Tron Legacy, Disney's CG-amplified sequel to the story that put Jeff Bridges inside the game, looks to have enough cool factor to capture a few more. Our friends at Coming Soon stumbled upon a brand new promotional image for the film, which reminds us of the neon-glowing chaos that is to come from director Joseph Kosinski and crew. Personally, I couldn't be more excited, as Tron is one my guilty pleasures from my youth. And while I was too young to catch the original on the big screen, I have no doubt that this modern day update will at least show us something neat. Tron is due in theaters and IMAX 3D on December 17, 2010. »

'Tron Legacy' visuals revealed: Check them out here!

11 December 2009 8:29 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

More visuals from the upcoming Tron Legacy movie have hit the Web, and just like the trailer before them, they're absolutely stunning. Pictured here are hottie Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hudlund caught in a very sultry moment. (Sizzle!) I honestly have no idea what's going on between the pair, but we can assume it's romantic, yes? It's intriguing: Are they about to kiss each other — or punch each other? Maybe both! Either way, a sultry moment. Wilde plays the confidante of Jeff Bridges' character Kevin Flynn, and Hudlund is Bridges' son Sam. The movie poster and whatnot were also »

New Image And Poster For Tron Legacy

10 December 2009 2:44 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »

The first official image and poster for Tron Legacy is now online and you can see them below.

Sticking to the sparse aesthetic of the original, the one (and only) image sees Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund looking all mean and moody while dressed up like Christmas trees and the poster has us geeking out with the inclusion of not one but three lightcycles!

Disney has also released the official synopsis, which goes a little something like this...
