This is very, very, VERY exciting news! Although, whenever I read anything about Sir Ian McKellen, I think of his appearance on “Extras” where he says, “Sir Ian, Sir Ian, Sir Ian, WIZARD! YOU SHALL NOT PASS! Sir Ian, Sir Ian…”
Haha I love that scene.
. The crooks in suits are rlpdiay invading every aspect of our lives, and we’re all allowing them to do it. I hate to use a slippery slope argument, but if they’re nationalizing banking now, what’s next?
Whose playing Bilbo? My vote still goes for Martin Freeman!
I’d rather see two decent well-paced Hobbit movies with a rich story, than one crammed and butchered film … sort of what happened to the Harry Potter movies.
The HP movies work either way even though it sucks that they can’t fit everything in the film.
The Hobbit is only 300 pages, there’s really no need for two films.
I like your list hon, but I am not sure about Ghost Rider. Nicolas Cage was one of the reasons I didn’t like the first one LOL! The teralir does look cool though and given the new I saw, there is definitely a plot . So I hope they learned their lesson from the first one. I am so looking forward to The Hunger Games, just finished the book and I am so floored. That was brilliant. Can’t wait for The Avengers, I really love Loki, he is a great villain. The guy they chose to play him is such a great actor. And I am also a Robert Downey Jr. fan, the man is I hope Men in Black 3 will be better than 2 and I am still unsure of rebooting the Spiderman franchise. Doesn’t make sense to me at all, I do like Andrew Garfield, really impressed me in the Social Network. But I loved the one with Tobey Macguire, I don;t get the reason of going further back and giving it a high school setting Still, I will watch it. Great post, thank you hon
EW, get this spam crap off the comment boards!
