Love Joon-ho Bong, So i'm very much looking forward to Snowpiercer. Seems to have a great cast including Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Ed Harris and Alison Pill. Also very happy Kang-ho Song is in it.
My most anticipated, in alphabetical order.

Yeah 2013 looks like a terrible year for movies compared with what we got this year. Of that list, only The Hobbit, Iron Man 3, and Thor 2 seem interesting.

So many sequels.
I'm surprised how alone i am, in thinking 2012 wasn't that great. To be fair, I've missed out on a few very well received films and i did very much enjoy a couple of films i recently got a chance to see. Including Argo and Seven Psychopaths.
I also don't think next year looks all that bad. There's plenty of sequels and remakes sure, just like this year. But there's some legitimately good looking and original films on the way too.

To the Wonder is the only film I'm interested in.
1) Byzantium, How I Live Now*, Justin and the Knights of Valour, The Host, Violet & Daisy
2) Gravity
3) The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
4) Elysium
5) Everything else
* Will possibly release only within the film festival circuit, but here's hoping it's picked up sooner rather than later.
(i.e. Everything Saoirse Ronan is in.)

I saw a scene from EVIL DEAD and it looks surprisingly awesome. May be "better" than the original.
Also saw a scene from GI JOE 2 and it looks to be more of the same quality silliness as the first.

You're not Expendable.
1. Gravity.
2. The World's End
Then everything else.
Ender's Game movie is going to be such fucking garbage it hurts.

No Grandmasters? What the fuck is this? Fix it right away! Lol.
The movie's finally done.
I had no idea this existed. Will it be better than Ip Man?

Bruce Willis must really need money these days. He showed up on 5 movies this year and he has at least 3 movies coming out next year.
It's a Wong Kar Wai movie, so it'll probably be nothing like Ip Man. It should be pretty awesome though!
Django Unchained and Cloud Atlas (both delayed in the UK).
The Great Gatsby, I don't like his films, and get burnt every time, but Carey Mulligan, and practically no one still cares about 3D, so anything that bothers gets my attention.
Star Trek 2, first one was kind of fun, the trailer for the new one is terrible though.
Man of Steel, I loved the teaser, hated the trailer, and Snyder has never made anything I find even decent, but I'll give it a try.
Elysium, not sure why really, but I'll try it.
Gravity, I expect incredible things.
12 Years a Slave, Steve McQueen is a genius.
Before Midnight, will be amazing.
Her, should be great.
The Bling Ring, Coppola hasn't been consistent, and I think Emma Watson is very irritating, but we'll see.
Upstream Color, should be incredible.
To The Wonder, I don't like Malick's first three films, the last two are in my all time top ten though, so we'll see.

Wong Kar Wai doing an martial arts movie sounds awesome.
Trailers are pretty action heavy but I expect a lot of cool stuff inbetween.
1. Stoker - I think Chan Wook Park is extremely overrated, but I consider him to be a competent director and horrific writer, and fortunately the screenplay by Wentworth Miller is fantastic.
2. Oblivion - I'm hit or miss on this one. Kosinski has an eye for visuals, but Tron: Legacy was let down by a sub par script, especially its second half. No clue how Konsinski is as a writer, but both Michael Arndt and William Monahan are quite good, which leads me to believe that the narrative won't be complete shit.
3. Star Trek into Darkness - I'm not sure about this one either, but I'm a fan of Star Trek and love science fiction. I actually enjoyed the origins aspect of the original Abrams' film, and found the 2nd and 3rd acts to be a jumbled mess, but we'll see how this one goes. I'm hoping for the best.
4. Fast and Furious 6 - The last film is definitely a different beast than its predecessors, and it's more of an action film with cars than a car film now, but the last one was so damn fun that I don't really care.
5. After Earth - I've enjoyed the two scripts I've read from Gary Whitta (thank you for sharing that unreleased one a while back!), and am a fan of Will and Jaden Smith. I absolutely hate Shymalan at this point, and his last 3-5 movies have been utter shit, but I consider his directing to be sound and his writing to be his downfall. Maybe with a competent writer, he can finally get back on track.
6. Man of Steel - I'm not completely happy with the direction of this. David S. Goyer is hit and miss as a writer (more miss IMO), and Christopher Nolan's writing is long winded and suspect at times, so I have a feeling this film's narrative won't be the greatest thing in the world. I actually don't mind Zack Snyder, but I don't think his style, which is extremely distinct, is that great of a fit for Superman. The previews simply look too dark and gritty for Superman, which I've always considered to be a colorful world.
7. Pacific Rim - Not a fan of Del Toro's American output, but Travis Beacham wrote one of the best screenplays I've ever had the pleasure of reading (Killing on Carnival Row) and the subject matter (Mechs and Godzilla like creatures) is obviously a rarity at this level of budget. Plus Idris is my boy. I'll give it a chance, but I still think Del Toro is mediocre at directing action.
8. Sin City: A Dame to Kill For - I still have my doubts that this is releasing next year, and films with such issues in the development process are typically crap upon release, but I'm such a fan of the graphic novels and original film that I'm inclined to watch it regardless.
9. Gravity - Alfonso Cuaron is a boss, and the screenplay was fantastic. I dislike Sandra Bullock as an actress, but hopefully the film as a whole can overshadow her shortcomings.
10. Oldboy - Unlike most people, I don't mind remakes assuming they bring something different to the table. Apparently this film will incorperate aspects of the graphic novel that weren't present within the original adaptation. I'm not a blind hater of Spike Lee either, and consider him to be more than competent, and the cast thus far looks quite amazing, so I'm hopeful. The original film wasn't that great, so it's by no means forbidden fruit.
11. 12 Years a Slave. Excellent slave narrative, and Steve McQueen is the man. Amazing cast as well. Hopefully it gets the recognition it deserves.
12. The Grandmaster - I'm a fan of the director, especially now knowing what to expect from his film, so with my expectations for action suppressed, I'm interested in seeing his take on the man.
I'm sick of writing, so I'm also interested in Snow Piercer, The Last Stand (Previews look sub par, but Jae-Woon Kim is great), Ridick (Absolutely LOVE this series), Ender's Game (As a fan of the book, I'm forced to watch the adaptation, but I'm not hopeful that a sound experience is going to come with this adaptation).
I'm kind of sick of super hero films at this point, and I wasn't a fan of Thor or the Iron Man series, so I'll definitely wait for those to hit video before giving them a watch. The script for Elysium was a mess, and while I'm a huge fan of science fiction, I pretty much guarantee the film being mediocre if that script was anywhere near final one.

I saw this last week; it's quite good. The child actresses are great.
Also, I think it was spawned accidentally by a pun.
This contains no plot spoilers, but to be safe:
When the entity appears, it is heralded by moths. What is a way to describe one who creates moths? A moth-er.

European date for Django Unchained is in 2013 so there goes that.
Other than that... no idea. Worlds End perhaps. I didn't know Sin City and 300 sequels were coming, I might watch them whenever they are shown in TV (if I still have TV when it happens).
Man, I really don't care for movies anymore, but I might keep checking out some classics every few weeks or months.
Also, Oldboy remake is real now? ugh...

Impressive list, but I don't see what The Hunger games is doing there. What a horrible movie that was, I never understood and will never understand why people liked this. It's definitely in the same 'league' as Twilight, except that some people on GAF actually enjoy it.
Superman on number 1 though!

Not a bad selection, time to mark my calendar!
