Rope of Silicon has laid out the top twenty most anticipated films of the 2009.
And they are, as follows:
20. The Invention of Lying (Ricky Gervais)
19. Ninja Assassin (Brad likes James McTeigue)
18. Green Zone (Matt Damon, Paul Greengrass together again in Iraq)
17. Bright Star (Jane Campion)
16. A Serious Man (Coens)
15. Ponyo (Miyazaki is back)
14. Shutter Island (do we need to say his name?)
13. The Wolfman (Benicio Del Toro)
12. The Lovely Bones (Peter Jackson returns)
11. The Princess and the Frog (Disney’s “black princess”)
10. Broken Embraces (Pedro Almodovar and Penelope Cruz)
09. 9 (the animated one)
08. Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr. one presumes)
07. Funny People (Apatow and Sandler)
06. Antichrist (sitting through it has become a requirement)
05. The Road (Viggo Mortensen, Cormac McCarthy)
04. The Informant (Matt Damon and Soderbergh)
03. Inglorious Basterds (Tarantino, Pitt, Nazis)
02. Avatar (Jim Cameron’s first film since….)
01. Nine (Rob Marshall, Daniel Day Lewis – lots of pretty women singing and dancing)
It isn’t a bad list, and it’s worth heading over there – nice pics and trailer links. I would swap them a bit for both my own personal taste and in terms of Oscar potential.
Mine would probably look more like:
1. Shutter Island
2. The Lovely Bones
3. Avatar
4. Bright Star
5. Invictus
6. The Road
7. Green Zone
8. Broken Embraces
9. Ponyo
10. Capitalism: A Love Story
11. An Education
12. Precious
13. Nine
14. Antichrist
15. Harry Potter
16. Julie & Julia
