I Can’t Wait: The Earth Shakes Beneath Iron Man 2

Chick 1 says:iron-man-2

Do you hear the rumbling under your feet?  It is the sound of the earth trembling from the sheer awesomeness of the new Iron Man 2 trailer.  It Doth Rocketh.

It premiered during Jimmy Kimmel Life following the Oscars Sunday night.  Do I really need to say it?  I.  Can’t.  Wait.

I Can’t Wait: Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang

Chick 1 says:nannympheebigbang2

Loved, loved, loved Nanny McPhee!  The perfect blend of whimsy, humor, naughty children, and romance.    Emma Thompson adapted the screenplay from a children’s book and also starred. 

She returns as producer, writer, and star for Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang.  The sequel also stars Maggie Gyllenhaal, Maggie Smith (2 good Maggies), Ralph Fiennes, and Rhys Ifans.  Great cast but I can’t decide from the trailer how this one is shaping up.  Of course, I wasn’t sure about the the first one and it’s one of my favorites.

I Can’t Wait: Robin Hood Trailer

Chick 1 says:

Finally!  A trailer for Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett and directed by Ridley Scott.  Of course it looks well done.  Love the extreme close of the arrow leaving the bow.  I trust all the names involved but this still looks like lots of other epics out there.  Maybe I’m waiting for the soul of the movie to capture me.

I Can’t Wait!: Alice in Wonderland Trailer

Chick 1 says:madhatter

Finally, our first moving look at Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.  I’m still excited about this project but I’m a little underwhelmed by the trailer.  Obviously a teaser, we see most of the major players and some fun special effects but nothing to really sink your teeth into.  (And no Alan Rickman, sadness!)  I want more. I guess that’s what a teaser’s supposed to do.  Enjoy.

I Can’t Wait: It’s Summer!!!! Part 3

Chick 1 says:

Yes, I skipped Part 2. Part 2 was supposed to be about June releases but as far as June movies were concerned….turns out, I could wait.  I actually wrote a Part 2 draft but it was the most boring thing I’ve ever written.  I decided to spare you.  Happily, July is looking much more promising.

public-enemiesPublic Enemies: Johnny Depp & Christian Bale? Say no more.  I’m in.  Make it a period piece & throw in Marion Cotillard?  Color me very interested.  Read more

I Can’t Wait: More Alice in Wonderland Pics

Chick 1 says:alice2

We’ve had a couple of glimpses of Tim Burton’s upcoming take on Alice In Wonderland, like this pic of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.  Yesterday, several more character portraits ,like this balloon-headed Helena Bonham Carter, and some delightful concept art were released.  I know this will be weird, but I am really looking forward to this.  And I have to say, while the first Mad Hatter picture looked like Johnny Depp, I think this one looks like Elijah Wood.  Look at the eyes & that gap in the teeth.  Does Johnny Depp have a gap in his teeth?  See the rest of them (including Johnny Depp as Elijah Wood as the Mad Hatter) here.  Plan to go down the rabbit hole March 5, 2010.

I Can’t Wait: First Trailer from Sherlock Holmes

Chick 1 says:sherlockholmes

Oh joy!  The first trailer from Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes was released yesterday.  We already knew that this was not going to be your usual Holmes whodunit.  With Robert Downey Jr cast as Holmes, Jude Law as Watson, and Ritchie at the helm, this was going to be a grittier and probably funnier Holmes.  I was expecting something dark & brooding but with an underlying humor but after the trailer debuted at the South by Southwest Festival in Austin in March, the buzz said that this was more of a buddy comedy.  It is definitely very un-Holmes but I think it looks like fun.  It certainly may offend Holmes purists.  See for yourself.  Trailer will play with Terminator Salvation this weekend.  The movie opens Christmas 2009.

I Can’t Wait: Gorgeous Photos from Agora

Chick 1 says:Agora bts

I didn’t know whether to put this post under I Can’t Wait! or Casting Notes since I don’t really know a lot about this movie.  It’s directed by Alejandro Amenabar who directed the Open Your Eyes, The Others, and The Sea Inside and it stars Rachel Weisz.  A slave starts following new religion Christianity while falling in love with his master, a famous atheist.  These are stunning.  They appear to be lit so that they look like Alma-Tadema paintings.
