Bourne, MI4? :lol

Spiderman 4 (325M+)
Transformers 3 (325M+)
Pirates 4 (350M+)
Star Trek (275M+)
Bourne 4 (250M+)
MI4 (150M+)
HP: DH1 (300M+)

For 2010, both TS3 and IM2 are looking like the top dogs, I think IM2 will hit 400M+ but TS3 will not, we'll see.

Poster is hot, looking forward to the trailer. Retarded if its attached to Sherlock Holmes.

Just pointing out the films that caught my eye.

As for the Holmes attachment, there's no other late Dec film I see that would be any better. And I'm guessing they couldn't get space before Avatar in time, so they just went with a film in the Christmas release week.

The trailer looks awesome, you won't be disappointed.

Is it just me or does War Machine's arm have no joint to bend with? It's like one solid machine gun lookin' thing.

Oh ok. Just saying those two will 100% not be among the top 5 in '11.

Sherlock Holmes doesnt look PG13, the target audience for IM2.

 

[Zoramon089]

Here is a bigger version of the poster...

 

[Dan]

Sherlock Holmes doesnt look PG13, the target audience for IM2.

Sherlock Holmes is officially PG-13.

Poster is nice. Here's hoping it accompanies a half decent movie this time, as the original is the most overrated superhero movie in existence.

 

[duckroll]

WOW! Okay, THIS is how you do a poster.

 

[Dan]

It's definitely overrated, but it's still the second best Marvel movie that's been made, after X2.

Is there a chance this could be the highest grossing film (domestically/worldwide) of 2010?

*ahem*

Inception

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

I can't stop seeing the blue orange contrast!

 

[duckroll]

*ahem*

Inception

Inception is to Chris Nolan what King Kong was to Peter Jackson and what Avatar will be to James Cameron.

I think that is because it is an arm cannon.

I know you hate all the Spider-Man movies, so I wont even bother to try

*ahem*

Inception

Are you serious? This movie could be Nolan's Heaven's Gate.

 

[Dan]

Inception is to Chris Nolan what King Kong was to Peter Jackson and what Avatar will be to James Cameron.

Psh, Nolan's way more talented than either of those guys.

Id also argue that his talent level is no greater than the two mentioned. He simply has had the fortune to pick better scripts. Give TDK as it was to Cameron or PJ, and you'd get essentially the same film, but with good action (okay, so PJ's version would be 40 minutes too long :lol ).

 

[SecretBonusPoint]

2 Iron, 2 Man.

I'm there.

 

[comedy bomb]

nah, it's the back of the elbow so I think the area where the two plates meet is the joint. Right where the little white arrows are.

Fixed.

 

[DMczaf]

Nolan is never going to overuse CGI like those two. I'm shocked he went 100% CGI with Two Face, considering the dude helped build a working Batmobile and Batpod just to avoid using CGI :lol The Batman flying through Hong Kong scene was set to be done for real with no CGI until HK told him he couldn't do it!

No Batman 3 for HK!

Peter Jackson's version would have been made on a green screen set with countless numbers of crappy and pointless CG-enhanced flybys around Gotham and there would have been no practical vehicles to be had at all. Two-Face would have been a mocapped character played by Andy Serkis. I'm definitely no fan of Jackson's though.

Given TDK's script Cameron would have done an ok job, but I don't think he could ever pull off the likes of Memento, Insomnia and The Prestige.

I'd suggest there's some level of talent in that... especially when all three of the discussed directors are usually one of the writers anyway.

I dunno, it takes some unique skill to direct something like Memento. Could Peter Jackson handle it? I don't know if he'd be able to keep the reverse narrative progression as coherent as Nolan managed to. I question that about Cameron, too. The time travel stuff in the Terminator films is fairly muddy.

I'm pretty sure the production design team told him at some point that he would have to choose between spending 10 hours a day to do the make up for Two Face, or actually being able to blow up a hospital.

As he is a wise man, he picked the hospital.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Peter Jackson would've had Batman kicking a dinosaur in the face in the Dark Knight.

 

[duckroll]

Also, I would say that neither Cameron nor Jackson possess the subtlety to direct something like The Prestige. It's a very laid back and deceptive thriller, with a masterful ability to misdirect both the audience and the characters within the story itself. Nolan might suck balls at directing straight action (and yes, this might be a problem for Inception, we shall see), but he is a master at controlling how people perceive what they see on screen, by setting up details and little subtleties in every scene.

Nolan knows we like our Batman suplexin reptiles

 

[xrich]

how would that not be awesome?

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I ain't seein' James Cameron getting an Oscar worthy performance out of Deebo.

He probably woulda had Sigourney Weaver play Maroni.

how would that not be awesome?

I see that movie every night in my dreams, I don't need it on DVD.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Michael Biehn as the Joker.

 

[Jazzy Network]

I liked Terrance Howard in the first one, but Don Cheadle is a better actor. Not sure how the transition will be. I can't wait for War Machine though.

 

[Tobor]

That is one hot poster.

 

[jett]

I don't see why not. The only other guaranteed big-seller coming out next year is Toy Story 3.

Neither has any chance at the next Harry Potter movie.

 

[duckroll]

Neither has any chance at the next two Harry Potter movies.

Fixed.

 

[Littleberu]

And Shrek, too.

 

[Danthrax]

And Shrek, too.

eh, Shrek's stock has fallen, I think. Unless there's huge buzz and critical acclaim, it probably won't be a big hit.

 

[The Elite]

how would that not be awesome?

This would have made for a better Dark Knight. I'm one of the few who wants less The Wire in my Batman.

 

[lordmrw]

the newspaper at the end of the gif is f*cking awesome

 

[Koodo]

Worldwide, sure, but I don't see Deathly Hallows 1 having the same domestic gross potential as IM2 or TS3. However, if DH1 is well-received, I have a feeling that DH2 will completely destroy everything, everywhere in 2011.

 

[artist]

Sherlock Holmes is officially PG-13.

Right move then. I still think Sherlock Holmes has a much elder audience.

WW is just not that great of stat IMO, look at Ice Age 3. :lol HP DH1 will not be the top grossing movie next year IMO, which is great.

are you still talking WW? because i think DH1 definitely will be.

 

[EMBee99]

Not to knock the wholly obvious WAR MACHINE ZOMG reactions (that I also had on first glance), but this thing makes WM look like the blacksuit/Venom Iron Man instead of the sidekick/replacement. Would have been cool to see the two suits, side by side, giving their best "do not fuck with us" look instead of the standard "shadow" setup.

Although, maybe Rhodey goes rogue in this one or something, I dunno.

Fair enough :lol Nolan is definitely a better writer-director than either. But on pure directioral chops, he is no far ahead, and is in some areas lacking (after 2 major action movies, he still cant construct a thrilling action scene to save his life). Thats really all I was saying.

Peter Jackson's version would have been made on a green screen set with countless numbers of crappy and pointless CG-enhanced flybys around Gotham and there would have been no practical vehicles to be had at all. Two-Face would have been a mocapped character played by Andy Serkis. I'm definitely no fan of Jackson's though.

Fair enough. Im not a big PJ fan myself, which Ive never made a secret, but he does get my respect for at least pulling off LOTR with mostly success.

As for Cameron, yes, he probably lacks the nuance and subtlety for Nolan's smaller films. Hot damn though, a Cameron TDK would have been ridiculously great.

I'd suggest there's some level of talent in that... especially when all three of the discussed directors are usually one of the writers anyway.

No argument there. PJ is not a good writer, and Cameron is a like a less offensive Lucas: great ideas man, bad at getting those onto paper.

Nolan's films were all written or co-written by him.

See above.

 

[TheFallen]

The poster looks sweet, but to those who don't know War Machine I wonder if they'll think he's the villain / anti-Iron Man. Similar to the black Spider-Man posters. It does remind me of that marketing.

 

[Binabik15]

Iron Man was so fucking awesome.

I haven´t seen the leaked trailer, but Iron Man 2 will be fucking awesome as well and you better like it grandpasimpsonshakesfist.gif

5 posts before this one, sir. Whole-heartedly agree.

the difference i assume is that they are counting on the fans to know the difference, and that the black robot behind iron man isnt an alter ego.

Please don't remind us how good the marketing for SPM3 was. So much hype, no could believe it when those first reviews came out.:lol

 

[beelzebozo]

terrence howard should be in this movie. they fucked him, as far as i'm concerned.
