Future Movies

So many new movies coming out soon, or at least in the next year. One of my all time fave book series, Cirque du Freak is being made into a movie. 23 October 2009. Same day as my all time fave movie series of torture porn, Saw VI. Apparently the du Freak movie is being called The Vampires Assistant, based loosely on the first three books of the series. "Loosely". The big term here for it could more than less suck so much that no one will try to make another movie out of it. There are 12 books in the series. All in which follow Darren Shan, a boy who turns into a half vampire to be and assistant to a vampire and the followings of his life and the war against vampaneze. As being a big fan of the book, I will see it and hope it sheds some decency on the series itself. But all in all, I know it is going to be like any other movie based on a book. The trailer can be watched here:

Another book being made into a movie, Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief. I read the first book and its decent. Good story line, a bit predictable, but keeps you occupied. I also looked up some of the info from the book, such as, the names of the Titans and the ancient Greek lore and history. All the info seems to have been correct, such as the writer actually did his research to make sure his story would keep the integrity of the Greek gods. It was actually real information that Wikipedia could confirm. I think for a writer to put that much into their book as to put real information is a big plus. It impresses me that even for a make believe story, they would do research. Since I wasn't such a huge fan of the book, but love the history and the Greek legends, I probably will enjoy this movie. The trailer can be watched at: The Lightning Thief

Of course for Halloween, Saw VI comes out this month. Even thought the series has taken a turn for the worse, I still remain loyal to Jigsaw and his teachings. I am interested to see where the new movie will take the story and what we will learn from this one.

Looking forward to:
Zombieland
Where the Wild Things Are (I never read that book)
Boondock Saints II (ify story)
New Moon (I know, I fell into the fad, but Jacob is in this one)
2012
Sherlock Holmes

What are the movie you are looking forward to? How do you think they will turn out?
