Comic Films invades 2012

Looks like people are going to a total gaga about stuffs like end of the world and other predictions for this year. No wonder that predictive movies like the 2009 Sci-fi Movie 2012 starts to heat up on screens.

But enough of devastating waters and collision talks and other stuffs like that. Let’s take a look on some of the big movies in pre-production right now. In short, 2012 will be the biggest year for comic book movies and the number of exciting titles easily blows this year out of the water. Here are the biggest and best movies of 2012, so far.

The Dark Knight Rises
Starring: Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman
Director: Christopher Nolan
Release Date: 20 July 2012

This year top selling movie returns, only with a different name – “The Dark Night”. There’s nothing bold about the title here. That aside, this is easily 2012′s movie grail, the film that is going to dominate coverage. The plot is still largely unknown but according to sources Hardy has been cast as Bane (see above), and Hathaway is Cat woman. This movie was made the final chapter of the Batman series as said by Director Christopher Nolan.

  The Amazing Spider-Man
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen
Director: Marc Webb
Release Date: 4 July 2012

New casts for the webby spiderman!

27-year-old Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) is the new Peter Parker and Mary Jane is replaced by Gwen Stacey (Emma Stone). This time Spider-Man has to face down against the Lizard (Ifans) and the “Proto-Goblin,” (Khan) a test subject of Norman Osborn’s experimentations. Martin Sheen is Uncle Ben, who presumably has to be shot dead again. The director of 500 Days Of Summer takes over from trilogy director Sam Raimi. They’re also going for a much lower budget, so expect more character work, less morphing sand.

 The Great Gatsby

Strarring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher
Director: Baz Luhrmann
Out: 25th December 2012

Remake of the Robert Redford-starrer, which was an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s romantic-drama. On Long Island, Midwesterner Nick (Maguire) is lured into the lavish world of his neighbour, Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), a young, mysterious millionaire with shady business connections and an obsessive love for Daisy Buchanan (Mulligan). Nick soon begins to see through the cracks of Gatsby’s nouveau riche existence, where obsession, madness, and tragedy await. The movie’s timely theme criticizes the irresponsible lifestyles of certain wealthy people. Baz Luhrmann, director of Moulin Rouge and Australia, is well suited to the grand material, and DiCaprio rarely disappoints.

Snow White And The Huntsman
Starring: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Ian McShane
Director: Rupert Sanders
Out: 1st June 2012

This reimagining sees the Huntsman (Hemsworth) ordered to take Snow White (Stewart) into the woods to be killed but instead winding up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen (Theron). The dwarves are a who’s who of British acting talent – Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Stephen Graham, Eddie Izzard, Ray Winstone, Nick Frost – and yes there are eight, which means one gets killed probably. Tonally, this is a dark fantasy adventure movie. There’s another Snow White movie out in March called Mirror Mirror, which is a ghastly-looking kids’ version. This actually has an excellent trailer and may well surprise the doubters. Part of a planned trilogy.

Men In Black III
Starring: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Rip Torn, Emma Thompson, Alec Baldwin
Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
Out: 25th May 2012

Now, the terrible duo returns!

Now this seems like flogging a dead horse, but hopefully the concept should still bring us some inventive and wild storytelling. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back, as is director Sonnenfeld. This one’s a 3D time travel plot with Agent J (Smith) having to go back to the 60s to visit, and protect, a younger Agent K (Brolin playing Jones

Titanic 3D
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane
Director: James Cameron
Out: 6th April 2012

Relieve the moments that we shed tears for these top grossing film ever made (until Avatar returns). This time Titanic goes 3D that James Cameron has been dreaming about. Let’s see how will world audiences respond to this second time round?

Django Unchained
Starring: Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Out: 25th December 2012

 

Spaghetti western set in America’s Deep South, which Tarantino calls “a southern”. The plot follows a slave-turned-bounty hunter (Foxx) who, with the help of his German mentor (Waltz), sets out to rescue his wife (Washington) from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner (DiCaprio). A plantation owner who forces his slaves to fight in twisted death matches. The fantastic cast also includes Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kurt Russell, Don Johnson, James Remar, Anthony LaPaglia, RZA and Tom Savini. It will be very interesting to see DiCaprio in a villain role, especially such a nasty one.
