Film Predictions For 2010
There will be a number of additions to film franchises this year. The second Sex and the City movie will be released in May, with the four friends taking a vacation together to Abu Dhabi. Eclipse, the next film in the Twilight Saga will be out at the end of June, and Bella will be torn between her love for vampire Edward and werewolf friend Jacob. In children’s films, there will be Shrek Forever After in May and Toy Story 3 in June. Forever After will see the ogre Shrek trying to away from his cosy family life and being transported to an alternate reality in which he never met his wife, Princess Fiona. Meanwhile, in the third Toy Story, Woody, Buzz and their friends are about to be put into storage as their owner Andy sets off for college.
Unfortunately for the toys, they are accidentally picked up with the garbage and end up being sent to a day care center. The Last Airbender film will be released at the beginning of July. It is based on the cartoon series in which hero Aang discovers that he is the Avatar, the only one who can manipulate the elements used by all four nations in his world: Air, Earth, Fire and Water. In November, the seventh Harry Potter film will be out in theaters. This is the first of two parts focusing on the final book in the seven part series, the Deathly Hallows, and it is the beginning of Harry, Ron and Hermione’s last adventure as they set out to find a way to destroy Voldemort forever.
2010 will also be a big year for film remakes and spin offs, with a distinctly 80s theme. The A-Team and The Karate Kid will both be released in June. The video game spin off, Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time, will be out in May.
The Girl Who Played With Fire, the second movie adaptation from the book series by writer Stieg Larsson will be released in July. The third and final installment, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest is set to be released in October.
There are plenty of big films expected out in 2010, although it remains to be seen whether some of the remakes and sequels will be able to live up to their predecessors. The new Harry Potter movie is expected to be one of the most spectacular in the series, with fans waiting to see how some of the many exciting scenes from the book are brought to life on screen. There is also great anticipation for the second Sex and the City movie, although as with Harry Potter, this is a franchise that depends upon its loyal fanbase who are likely to want to see it whatever the critics think.
