Here’s our list of 10 to watch out for…
Finally, summer blockbuster season comes off as finding its feet.
And theres still the small matter ofThe ExpendablesandScott Pilgrim Vs The Worldready to light up August.
Morning Glory
Right then, Harrison Ford.
The comedy that for some reason youve avoided making sinceWorking Girl.
The one that could and should give you an Alec Baldwin-esque surge of comedy power through your veins.
The first film that youve made in some time that actually looks really, really good.
Oh, and did we mention that JJ Abrams is producing?
Thought you might want to know that.
US release date: 12 November 2010UK release date: 7 January 2011

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
We know, we know.
Furthermore, were looking forward to seeing Carey Mulligan in her first major Hollywood part as well.
But heck, Oliver Stone doing a big movie that we actually want to see?
Even if he has cast Shia in it.
US release date: 24 September 2010UK release date: 8 October 2010

From those sources, Moira Buffini has shaped the screenplay, and Stephen Frears has directed the movie.
If wed made just one of those, that would make us very happy indeed.

Now entitledThe American, it stars George Clooney as an assassin undertaking yes!
Only even more shock horror it doesnt all go to plan.
Okay.The Americanis clearly made out of very familiar pieces, but there are factors very much in its favour.
George Clooney, for starters, whose lead roles in such thrillers tend to be very well chosen.
Then theres the fact that it seems much darker than your average Hollywood thriller.
US release date: 1 September 2010UK release date: 26 November 2010

Red
Granted, we made this mistake last year.
That film?Surrogates.
But signs are thatRedshould avoid that trap.
Or all of the above.
Mirren brandishing a gun in a Hollywood blockbuster?
We never saw that coming.
And the trailer toRedlooks quite promising too, which always helps…
US release date: 15 October 2010UK release date: 22 October 2010

And this is his first cinematic release in twelve years.
Can John Landis still cut it?
Were certainly holding out hope, and hes picked an intriguing project too.
Yep, Ronnie Corbett.
Certainly the promotional material for the film is making good on that.
A poster featuring Hogwarts going up in flames?
A trailer that seems to hint at peril from start to finish?
Lots of Ralph Fiennes, albeit with a non-existent nose?
Whats more, David Yates is directing too, and this is a good thing.
US release date: 19 November 2010UK release date: 19 November 2010

Machete
Can we share a fear with you?
And the first trailer for the movie proper is easily one of the best of the past few years.
Or perhaps thats us trying to temper our hopes.
But are all the good bits in the trailer?
Weve got until October before we find out…
US release date: 3 September 2010UK release date: 29 October 2010

It very nearly usurped a film thats Ive been waiting to see for nearly three decades.
But, whats this?
Aaron Sorkins written another movie script that got made?West WingAaron Sorkin?
Even appreciating thatCharlie Wilsons Warfelt like a bit of a disappointment, this is still a big deal.
And then perhaps the biggest masterstroke of all: getting David Fincher in the directors chair.
The same David Fincher who happens to be one of the finest helmers working in Hollywood today.
From the trailer that emerged a week or two back, this looks like a majestic piece of work.
Even if we didnt always realise we were.

But there are moments when its lexicon of adjectives simply isnt sufficient.
And thats why its hard to describe just how exciting a blockbusterTron: Legacyis shaping up to be.
This has been lining up the dominoes of glee since the very moment it was conceived.
And they can bring a friend, too.
So why so special?
Well its a sequel toTron!
Thats a good start.
Yep, that too.
Oh yes, lots of Jeff Bridges.
One of the most exciting trailers in a long time?
Pixar experts brought in to give extra notes?
The fact that weve been waiting 28 years count em to see aTron2?
December 17th really cant come quickly enough…
Saw 3DandParanormal Activity 2are going head to head, but look out forBuriedto snatch the horror crown.
