Howdy,

Thought it might be fun to have a thread to collect the various rumors, announcements, and what not we've come across about pending sci-fi and fantasy projects for movies and television series. Since I was idly scanning through IMDB dot com for upcoming future movies, which is what gave me the idea for this thread, and just happen to have a list of links here, guess I should start, eh? :D

First up, and no surprise here, there's Harry Potter movies apparently slated for both 2007 and 2008. However it looks like there might be some other interesting movies in the works as well.

The Futurama Movie (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0471711/)

The Tripods (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0441811/)

Ender's Game (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0400403/)

The Runelords (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0401761/)

Wolverine (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0458525/)

Wonder Woman (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0451279/) Joss Whedon!?


I also noticed a LOT of video game titles seem to be making the transit to the big screen, or at least DTV release, hard to tell which is more likely with some of these titles. ;)

Then there was this:

Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0449088/). I didn't know there was a PotC 2 yet!

Or how about this for a surprise:

Voltron (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0472429/) :eek:

And these I just don't understand. I mean, seriously, isn't it passed time to stick a fork in these properties and call them done?

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0453556/)

Untitled Transformers Film (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/)

The Untitled Star Trek Prequel (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0408305/) I see Berman's name on this. ACK!

Not much listed for 2008. Though I was totally taken aback to see a Simpons movie listed and totally floored to see that there was an actual entry for a Smurfs movie. I remember someone posting about this over on RPGnet but I thought it was a joke!


Kind Regards,

Kester Pelagius

All I know is that for all Joss Whedon's great stuff (Buffy, Firefly)....he's gonna frack up Wonder Woman. If there is ANYTHING I am purist about, it is the T&A....and he's gonna cover all that up. Things could change between now and principal photography...but I ain't holdin' my breath.

Respectfully,

Voltron ?!?!

I haven't heard that title in decades!

On a separate topic, there is a Comic Book series that was supposed to go to production but then I just recently heard that I got cut. It was for "The Watchmen". Does anyone know more about this?

Transformers has Tom DeSanto on it as a producer.

If he hits big with that, then he *should* have pretty much any project he wants, which would include a certain continuation.

Pirates 2 and 3 are being filmed back to back like Matrix 2 and 3. It worked for LoTRs :)

They get Keith Richards yet for Johnny Depp's father? He won't need makeup or special effects :D (and I like the Rolling Stones)

I've been hearing about Watchmen since the late 80s.
