Movies Coming This 2009

This year (2008) has seen some Blockbuster releases at the Box Office, including "I Am Legend", "Indian Jones", "Iron Man", of course "The Dark Knight" and the latest James Bond movie, "Quantum of Solace", plus the soon to be released "Twilight".

Looking forward now to 2009 and here are my first three picks of what will be HUGE next year:

1. "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" out July 17th, 2009.

The sixth movie on of the biggest book and movie franchises ever finally looks set for its release in July. With it's unexpected change of release (it was supposed to come out this November but was change to capitalize on the Summer Box Office) and much talk about this movie, expect big things! All the usual characters are back with David Yates returning to Direct (he also directed the Order of the Phoenix), this movie looks set to get even darker then its predecessors. After watching the trailer (which looks amazing), this film will center on Harry's ever-enduring quest to rid the Magic (& Muggle) world of Lord Voldermort, but also on a light note focuses on the emerging teenage hormones taking over the students at Hogwarts.
Best put "Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again."
This movie will finally come out in July, peak Box Office time so expect a HUGE opening weekend ("The Order of the Phoenix" brought in $$332.7 USD million opening weekend)
The final film, "The Deathly Hallows" will be released in two parts, with Part I slated for release on 19 November 2010, and Part II in May 2011.


2. "Transformers Revenge of the Fallen" out June 26th, 2009.

The sequel to 2007's big hit "Transformers" (one of my favoutite movies of that year!), this sequel looks set to be bigger and better than the original. With both director Michael Bay and main stars Shia LeBeouf (Sam Witwicky) and Megan Fox (Mikaela Banes) set to return, my main focus comes upon a former Home and Away babe who looks set to break out as Hollywood's next big thing!
Isabel Lucas joins the cast as Alice, a new character who goes to Sam's college and may just steal the spotlight from Fox.
With it's release expected to be in the summer expect a big opening weekend ("Transformers" brought in $191,6 USD million opening weekend)


3. "Fast & Furious" out June 12th, 2009.

The fourth installment in this series looks set to connect with the original film of the series with Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster all reprising their roles.
The film will act as a sequel to 2003's "2 Fast 2 Furious" but will act as a prequel to 2006's "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift ".
I'm really excited about the film as i loved the first two films, especially "2 Fast 2 Furious" with the most insane cars and best car chases ever!
Little is known about this film at this stage but with Paul Walker (agent Brian O'Conner) and Vin Diesel's (fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto)characters reuniting under hostile circumstances, this movie looks set to be big!
Expected to be released near the start of the summer, expect a slightly smaller but still big opening weekend ("2 Fast 2 Furious" brought in $50,4 USD million opening weekend back in 2003)
