As 2008 approaches its end and we conceive back on all the large film of the yr , we must take meter to look forrader at what is to add up . That is incisively what we will do now - And I do n’t practice the term “ we ” thinly as I enlisted the help of the entireScreen Rantteam to facilitate me share with you our single and corporate thoughts of what movies to take care forth to in 2009 .
We begin the tradition last year with themost anticipated picture of 2008 , and here ’s your bright , glistening 2009 variant !
This was not an well-fixed task to say the least . While there are several obvious big - name titles come out next year , there are also 765 moving-picture show plan to debut next class in total ( concord toMovieweb ) . Narrowing that down to just ten is not the easiest of task peculiarly when sealed films have shared little info with us so far ( wink wink nudge poke at to James Cameron’sAvatar ) .
Using all of our single option and an elaborated scoring system of rules that took 100 of time of day to deliver its results ( OK , I made up that last bit ) , I summed up and reckon our overall most anticipated movie of 2009 inclination for theScreen Rantteam .
I deliver to you , Screen Rant ’s Top 10 Most Anticipated Movies of2009 :
10.Monsters vs. Aliens – March 27 , 2009
Dreamworks ’ vainglorious 3D - animated plastic film of 2009
Featuring an copiousness of well - know voice endowment and a hilarious secret plan , this film looks like playfulness for all . Along with Disney’sUpwe bear a pair of solid animated films next year . I ’ll also be seeing this one in 3D !
9.Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen – June 26 , 2009
The sequel to the roll in the hay and hat Summer megahit of 2007 .
Can Michael Bay turn some of those frowns upside down with this continuation that he co - compose ? Will there be more robots , less people , better account , less corniness and better fibre ? We hope so and some of us are look forward to receive out from this action - risky venture .
8.Up – May 29 , 2009
Disney Pixar ’s next 3D - animated experience .
The beautiful - look 3D - enliven picture about a 78 year - old man and a young boy stuck together on a wondrous journey into a lost domain . I ’m definitely seeing this one in 3D.
7.Public Enemies – July 1 , 2009
The notorious life of gangster John Dillinger brought to the big screen .
star Johnny Depp , Christian Bale and several other principal feature in other bighearted films next twelvemonth , this 1930s - expressive style criminal offense and dime picture show should be awing . Little has been evince so far , but we have high expectations from the cast and story alone .
6.Inglourious Basterds – June 2009 ( precise liberation appointment still to be determine )
Quentin Tarantino ’s World War 2 Epic is ultimately arriving .
Tarantino ’s been subject to some miscellaneous reviews on his most recent projection – can this be the one to turn it around ? We ’re certainly hoping and looking onwards to it and its interesting cast includes Brad Pitt , Mike Myers and Eli Roth .
5.X - Man Origins : Wolverine – May 1 , 2009
Wolverine ’s origin are detailed in this prequel to the disco biscuit - Men trilogy .
Hugh Jackman - Sexiest Man of the Year – is back in his calling - making and fan - preferred invulnerable adamantium - interlace chela - sharpen mutant . I ’m sell on the support characters alone – this motion picture should be tons of fun – but will the story be any good ?
4.Terminator Salvation – May 22 , 2009
The 4th Terminator feature film starts a newfangled trilogy .
The dealership hits the big screen again in this sequel / prequel to theTerminatorFranchise . asterisk Christian Bale as John Connor and a overplus of new Terminator design , we look onwards to McG ’s new direction for the franchise .
3.Star Trek – May 8 , 2009
The rebirth of the dealership is upon us thanks to J.J. Abrams .
Can this prequel / reboot of a pic bringStar Trekback to the mainstream and make it “ coolheaded ” once again ? WhileStar Warsdwindles in the aftermath of the prequels and animatedClone Wars , Star Trekhas the chance to nab the Sci - Fi throne .
2.Avatar – December 18 , 2009
James Cameron ’s epic bleeding - edge flick that we know nothing about .
Even though we have seen literally ( almost ) nothing from the film , hopes and hype are high for this potential manufacture - changing motion-picture show . We put our faith in James Cameron and his whimsey of quality of amount film - making .
1.Watchmen – March 6 , 2009 ( pending trial ? )
Warner Brothers ’ next blockbuster DC Comics film .
Can it compare to this year’sThe Dark Knight ? Will Fox Studios ’ judicial proceeding minutes retard or harm the film ? We hope that Fox stop over step in and playing this money - snap up game .
And now for our even reviewer , I thought you ’d be concerned in the partitioning on what each of the author here atScreen Rantpicked as their most see forward to movies …
To start , I ’ll share my Top 10 most anticipated for next year and give a picayune account of my choices :
1.Watchmen
2.X - Men Origins : Wolverine
3.Star Trek
4.Transformers : retaliation of the Fallen
5.Inglourious Basterds
6.Terminator redemption
7.Avatar
8.Public foe
9.The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
10.G.I. Joe
TheWolverineorigins flick latterly made the jump into my top three simply because ofthe dawdler that was released two weeks ago . I ’m a vast Gambit rooter and seeing some amazing aspect with him made me super excited for the film . The caveat to this is that if I find out Gambit does not have his Cajun accent in the film - then this movie will no longer by feature in my list .
We know very little about James Cameron’sAvatarand we ’ve seen even less so it ’s very difficult to gauge where it should rate but I have it in there anyways because of the hype of the film , the screwball technology being employed to produce it , and the fact that it ’s Cameron ’s babe . I also thrust in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus for the simple fact that it is Heath Ledger ’s last cinema ever and the casting addition that were made to fill in Ledger ’s part in the plastic film were pretty astonishing .
For fun , I also threw inG.I. Joeas my last choice even though we ’ve not realize any veridical footage and there is some disconfirming press surrounding some pre - screenings of the prevue for the film .
Next , we haveScreen RantMaster Vic Holtreman ’s Top 10 leaning :

9.The surrogate
10.The Road
Vic is a massiveTrekfan so his identification number one choice is a given . His top three can easy stir around depending on what kind of marketing the three films get and it ’s the top six in the list he really look forward to – with the last four added to round out off the top 10 .
Vic is attend forward to the fourth installing to theTerminatorfranchise and has sureness that McG will do a estimable job . He ’s also hope thatUpwill make up for hisdisappointment withWall - E.
