This is a surprise?

The question is: Are there any films expected in 2010 that aren't remakes or sequels?

I don't care if it's a remake or a sequel, as long as it doesn't suck. Some remakes are better than the original, and let's face it, the original Clash of the Titans was made on the cheap.

Why should they? These movies keep making money.

I am so sick of seeing people say that their childhood has been raped. How weak of character do you need to have in order for that to happen? God damn pussies.

At least we have memories to exploit. What the hell is Hollywood going to do when the Millennials hit 40?

"We're making a remake of the A-Team remake to exploit Gen-Y nostalgia!"

If you don't like it, don't watch it.

Easy.

I can already say I'll prefer the Family Guy versions of all of these.

antidisestablishmentarianism: Foxxinnia: I can't wait until 90's nostalgia washes over us the way 80's nostalgia did in the 00's.

I've been looking for a good reason to wear my flannel shirts

as someone who's wearing a flannel shirt over a Loop t-shirt, I'm getting a kick...


/probably the only person under 35 wearing a Love and Rockets shirt right now.

Basij: Wait a second. Ridley Scott is making a Robin Hood with Russell Crowe? That I'm just now hearing about?

Because Crowe was originally supposed to be the Sheriff of Nottingham, with the tale told from his perspective but, uh...rewrites, yeah, we'll go with that, changed it.

That's impossible. More for remakes than sequels. In the case of a remake, the "creators" are saying: "I do not have the commitment to my own ideas to actually create a compelling experience, so instead, I am going to use a short-hand by using tried and tested ideas, so that I can take the minimal amount of creative and financial risk. Because, deep down, I'm just a shill operating in a factory, not a creative professional."

If I'm going to watch something, I want to see something I haven't seen before. In an era where our cultural history is accessible nearly instantly with one mouse click, I just can't see why I'd want a remake of something I can watch right now.

See now this ^^^^^^ why I have you labeled like this:

Showbiz - Movie Snob/Jackass

That's a weird looking Dark Knight poster...

Sun Worshiping Dog Launcher: Normally I'd employ the Ignore option, but the posts are just so full of arrogance, I get a kick out of them.

I'm arrogant in geek threads, definitely. It's because I am smarter, more savvy, and generally better educated than you.

I'm a snob in showbiz threads because I just exist to annoy you. And that other guy. And that other one. Y'know, whatshisname.

Gangway Fathead: TRON in 3-D can't get here soon enough.

I don't want it in 3D, but I am looking forward to it, so long as they don't try and give the lightbikes realistic physics. Because nothing ruins lightbikes faster than seeing them behave like a real-world bike.

PizzaJedi81: See now this ^^^^^^ why I have you labeled like this:

I'm amazed you've bothered. I wouldn't. I'd think less of you for it, but since I'm not going to bother to Farky you, I'll forget it within 15 minutes.

Purplebuzz: 4 words...

Hot Tub Time Machine

Now that I am looking forward to.

Gangway Fathead: But, you know, actually have a story this time.

Hey, The Black Hole had a story. The story was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea except without any logic or sense to it. But it did have a story.

And Maximillian remains bad-ass.

buckler: Well, if the teaser trailer is any indication

None of that will actually be in the film. It's less a "teaser" and more a demo reel. So, I retain my hope. Rumor has it that they do both- on the "Game Grid", they behave like the classic cycle, and off it they are more realistic. Which is okay, in part, because that is how it worked in the original.

Basij: Wait a second. Ridley Scott is making a Robin Hood with Russell Crowe? That I'm just now hearing about?

Say what? Are you living in some kind of third world nation where the government monitors and censors the internets?

enry: Not impossible. "The Thing"

Oceans Eleven
The Thomas Crown Affair

You're right- the exception is movies that are about a generation old and have mostly been forgotten among most people.

[Inception]

Yep. And it looks like it sucks donkey dongs, too.
