Brave, and the Avengers. Iā€™m not interested in any others ?I know of.

#34

The Hunger Games looks so good based on the trailer, surprisingly. Iā€™m excited to see it.

I also want to see:

  • Brave
  • Dr. Seussā€™ The Lorax
  • John Carter (not actually excited judging by the trailersā€¦ :frowning: )
  • The Amazing Spider-Man
  • The Dark Knight Rises
  • Paranorman
  • Frankenweenie
  • Wreck-It Ralph
  • Django Unchained
#35

there has only been one, but tomorrow a new tralier will be launched, so excited

#36

Oh, I didnā€™t know this! I definitely want to see more. The first trailer was dull, and I have been looking forward to seeing Stanton do live-action stuff.

#40

-The muppets
-War horse
-Brave
-Men in black 3
-Finding nemo 3D
-Madagascar 3 :blush:
-The avengers(possibly)

Anyone know if or when From up on poppy hill will be released?

#41

Thatā€™s a good question. I havenā€™t heard anything about it, but the movie is aimed at an older audience than that of Ponyo, Arietty, or the other Ghibli movies released in America with the help of Disney. Some citations on Wikipedia say that the Japanese audience is 87% 16 and older. It also has no elements of fantasy, so Iā€™m guessing it will get a limited release similar to Tales from Earthseaā€”if anything.

EDIT

Oh, but youā€™re from the UK. That might make things different, but I still think it will get a limited release.

#42

The UK got Arietty last summer but it was limited on release-it was in mainstream cinema for maybe a week-but having said that the DVD seems to be selling well and getting heavily advertised, which is, I am assuming, due to Disneyā€™s help.

Having a look on IMDB, From Up on Poppy Hill got a French release last week, again presumably limited, so Iā€™m hoping weā€™re not too far behind. No news on US release though :neutral_face: . Alas, I canā€™t see Disney going all out to promote this one.

#43

I just want Disney to release Only Yesterday in America already. Itā€™s one of Ghibliā€™s best, too! :unamused:

#44

The only 2012 films Iā€™m excited for are Brave and Lincoln.

#45

:mrgreen: I have Only Yesterday! Itā€™s one of their best, I agree :slight_smile:

#46

Iā€™m jealous. The collector in me is ready to purchase a region-free DVD player and the imported DVD from Japan. :frowning: But I guess that would be an investment since I watch a lot of East Asian films that arenā€™t available in the US.

#47

The only god movie comiing outr this year is already outā€“Beauty and the Beast.

Maybe Radio Rebel.

The only other one that could possibly be good is Rise of the Guardians, but knowing Dreamworks, it probably wonā€™t be.

As for Wreck-It Ralph, I wish they would replace Kano with Psyduckā€¦and itā€™s sure to have video game references I wonā€™t recognize.

#48

Iā€™m probably the only person on Earth whoā€™s looking forward to Chronicle way more than The Dark Knight Rises.

#49

I donā€™t know, this year looks like too many sequels, spinoffs and genral ā€œMehā€ movies. Iā€™m just looking forward to Brave, and Star Trek 2 but thats been pushed into 2013. Iā€™m a trekkie.

#50

Like I said, itā€™ll probably just be another ordinary year for films.
