Without a doubt. No contest. Best mix of music, images and dialogue. Makes me want to watch the film every time I see it.
I can’t wait to watch this one again and this trailer is making me crave the February 9 DVD and Blu-ray release.
A List of Anticipated Movies of 2010: (in alphabetical order, all links point to their corresponding page on RopeofSilicon.com)
- The Adjustment Bureau – George Nolfi co-wrote The Bourne Ultimatum and this is his directorial debut starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt adapted from a Philip K. Dick short story
- The American – I can’t wait to see how Anton Corbijn follows up Control. (No, Linear doesn’t count)
- Clash of the Titans – I loved the original and am hoping for the best
- The Conspirator – Redford tackles the Lincoln assassination
- The Cross – This near future film from Andrew Niccol (Lord of War) just sounds particularly intriguing
- The Debt – Just click the link and read all about John Madden’s next one and look at the cast and tell me you aren’t looking forward to this one too.
- The Eagle of the Ninth – This could be bad, but Kevin Macdonald inspires hope (Channing Tatum does not)
- Edge of Darkness – Could be one hell of a flick. Comparisons to Taken are already being made and that sounds good to me.
- Fish Tank – Lots of good buzz for this one out of festivals and the trailer looks great
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I – Love that Potter!
- Inception – Chris Nolan’s next has got to be anticipated by everyone… right?
- Iron Man 2 – Ditto
- The Killer Inside Me – My excitement for this one is based solely on people’s response to this promo trailer. I haven’t watched it just for that reason and am trusting popular opinion.
- London Boulevard – William Monahan’s (screenwriter of The Departed) directorial debut starring Colin Farrell, Keira Knightley and Ray Winstone.
- Mother – Lots of good buzz on Joon-ho Bong’s (The Host) latest.
- Piranha 3-D – Could be one hell of a fun time at the cinema. Will they screen it for critics?
- Robin Hood – I haven’t watched the trailer yet, but people say, “Looks like Gladiator.” Sounds good to me.
- Salt – Noyce, Jolie, action. I’m there.
- The Social Network – The little bit about the start-up of Facebook I have read has me intrigued and my faith is in Fincher.
- The Town – Ben Affleck’s directorial follow-up to Gone Baby Gone. Yeah, I’m anxious to check this one out for sure.
- True Grit – The Coen brothers remake a classic and they must have good reason to do so. Bring it on.
And that pretty much does it. I still have to bring you a 2010 preview as I am sure the above list of films isn’t going to suffice, but for now I would say this should keep you busy and I hope you liked what I brought to the table.
