Definitely psyched about that one, too.

I'm bummed; my boyfriend is going with HIS friends to see it, and I don't have friends that are interested... bwind - Will you be my date? ;)

Legion is probably the one I'm most psyched about.

Then after that there's Kick-Ass and The Wolfman.

Quite possibly. imdb has The Evil Dead remake listed for 2010 release too so the list is probably not all that accurate.

@ Cheebacheeba: Yes, "The Book of Eli" does look awesome, I also like the fact that Denzel Washington has teamed up with Actress; Mila Kunis aswell, She played Jackie Burkhart from "That 70s Show" on FOX television.
@ Topic: I'm looking forward to "A Nightmare on Elm street" remake; nothing else.

Clash of the Titans

Release Dates: March 26 (US and UK), April 30 (AU)

Three words: Release the kraken.

Gone are Harry Hamlin's loin cloth and Pantene-Plus hair, and in its stead is Sam Worthington wielding a sword at CG Medusas, scorpions and the aforementioned sea beast straight from Poseidon.

Director Louis Leterrier follows up his above-average The Incredible Hulk reboot with this uber-expensive remake of the 1980s fantasy epic. The trailer is all sorts of flashety flash cutting between set pieces and more set pieces, so the verdict is still out on whether or not this movie will deliver on story. But 300 fans and fans of the original film should be entertained to see Titans get a 21st Century remake treatment. Liam Neeson's Zeus squares off opposite Ralph Finnes' Hades, and Worthington gets his third shot at blockbuster leading man status.

A lot is riding on this March release to deliver.



The Expendables

Release Dates: August 13 (US), TBD (UK & AU)

No, this isn't a remake of the obscure Vietnam War film. The Expendables is a tribute to every cheesy action movie the '80s ever gave birth to. The plot, such as it is, sees a team of trigger-happy soldiers sent to oust a South American dictator. In true B-movie fashion, a few good men and a lot of explosions are all that's necessary to fight off hordes of faceless bad guys.

The premise may be simple, but the casting is where things get really interesting. Sylvester Stallone directs and stars in The Expendables. Joining him are a Who's Who of action movie giants, including Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Micky Rourke, Bruce Willis, and even the Governator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. How could you not want to see a movie with those names attached?

If you need a testosterone boost this summer, we bet The Expendables will send you to the emergency room with a serious overdose.



Let Me In

Release Dates: TBD (all)

Remaking one of the best vampire movies ever made can go one of two ways: Good or downright awful. Such is the task facing Cloverfield director Matt Reeves in his American remake of Let the Right One In.

The movie stars Hit Girl Chloë Moretz as the tween vamp The Road's Kodi Smit-McPhee befriends in his apartment complex. Richard Jenkins plays the girl's keeper/father figure, and anyone who has seen the original knows it doesn't end well for him. We're not sure how exactly this remake will stack up, or how it could top the original's most satisfying (and bloody) finale. Like we said, this movie could turn out one of two ways and we hope the end result doesn't put Reeves in movie jail.



The Losers

Release Dates: April 9 (US & UK), TBD (AU)

2008 basically spoiled us when it comes to comic book and superhero movies. That one summer gave us Wanted, Hellboy II, and The Dark Knight. Hancock, too, but we won't hold it against 2008. While 2010 may have fewer big-name superhero movies, there are plenty of interesting comic book adaptations slated for release.

The Losers is one such project. Based on Andy Diggle's mature-readers re-imagining of the classic DC series, The Losers is a story about the titular band of CIA operatives. After getting screwed over during a mission in Bolivia, they return home gunning for some serious payback.

The cast is full of recognizable comic book movie names, including Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Watchmen), Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), and Idris Elba (Thor). If the film captures the special blend of revenge, violent action, and The Usual Suspects-esque mystery, fans and newcomers alike should have a lot to love.



Machete

Release Dates: TBD (all)

Danny Trejo. Swings from window to window. Using another man's entrails. Did we really, really expect anything less from Robert Rodriguez's movie, based on the Grindhouse fake trailer?

As if the plot for this movie really matters to those that will see it eleventy times: Machete is wronged by a crooked politician (played by Robert Frakkin' DeNiro) and that wrong's got to be righted using lots of bullets and machetes and intestinal Tarzan-ing from building to building. Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Alba add some eye candy to the mayhem. We're pretty sure Machete is now our Constant. If any movie was made for the peeps, then this be it.



Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

Release Dates: TBD (all)

No guy enjoys meeting his lady's ex-boyfriends. But Scott Pilgrim has made it his life's mission to track down each of the seven men who dated the current apple of his eye, Ramona Flowers. Only by defeating these evil ex-boyfriends in combat can Scott truly lay claim to Ramona's heart.

As if it weren't apparent already, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is no ordinary comedy starring twenty-something slackers. For one thing, the film is directed by Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright. For another, it features several high-energy animated sequences to replicate the zany nature of the graphic novels. Michael Cera plays Scott and Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays Ramona. Our only fear is whether Cera can display a greater range than he's shown in his past roles. Scott Pilgrim is no George-Michael Bluth, after all. Still, we're eagerly looking forward to Scott's late-summer release.
