In the land of Ingary, such things as spells, invisible cloaks, and seven-league boots were everyday things. The Witch of the Waste was another matter.

The Hatter sisters--Sophie, Lettie, and Martha--and all the other girls were warned not to venture into the streets alone. But that was only the beginning. In this giant jigsaw puzzle of a fantasy, people and things are never quite what they seem. Destinies are intertwined, identities exchanged, lovers confused. The Witch has placed a spell on Howl. Does the clue to breaking it lie in a famous poem? And what will happen to Sophie Hatter when she enters Howl's castle?

From what I heard the screenplay was finished Oct 2004 and I didn't put up the other movies because I'm only putting up SOME of the movies.. If I put up all the movies coming out I'd be here for the next 3-5 hours.. I'm just putting up movies that I think will appeal to the vast majority of people.

[Memento Mori]

Oh I realize. I only mentioned those two because:

Hitchhiker's Guide = Probably has one of the largest literary cult followings in the world, and has been anticipated for something like 20 years.

Kingdom of Heaven = Has Orlando Bloom, chicks can dig it. And lots of fighting, guys can dig it. And it's by Gladiator's director. Great supporting cast, too.

The screenplay for IJ4 was done, but Lucas wasn't too happy with it, last I heard it was postponed until at least Summer 06.

King Kong

Jackson will bring his sweeping cinematic vision to the iconic story of the gigantic ape-monster captured in the wilds and brought to civilization where he meets his tragic fate. The screenplay by Jackson, Walsh and Boyens is based on the original story by Merian C. Cooper and Edgar Wallace, which became the classic 1933 RKO Radio Pictures film, directed by adventurers Cooper and Ernest B. Schoesdack. Jackson will employ the latest motion picture technology to cinematically portray the timeless tale of the beast and his beauty. He will expand on the chapters of the tale that take place in the mysterious and dangerous jungles of Skull Island, and his Kong promises to be a unique and breathtaking creation.

Also starring Derek Jacobi as Corvinas himself! Been a fan of his since seeing the excellent BBC miniseries, "I, Claudius" on DVD

I really want to see Hitchhiker's Guide cause John Malkovich is going to be in it.. I'm soooo in love with that man it's not even funny.

I hope Rush Hour 3 is going to be be better than the first one. Rush Hour 2 sucks, although Roselyn Sanchez is great in there. Speaking of Roselyn Sanchez, I am hoping to see her in Rush Hour 3.

Deuce Bigalow? Another Rob Schneider movie? I would rather watch Gigli than watch that.
