Things 2013 should bring

As you've probably seen, Willis is set for another return as John Mclane next year in Die Hard 5.
Films nowadays get the green light based on nostalgia and not necessarily because they are going to make a great movie.

This got me (Mike) thinking about what 5 films I would like to see return (either released or at least announced) in 2013.

Firstly, Prometheus. My favourite film this year. Please say the planned trilogy goes ahead! Not only did I really enjoy it, I want it to return to answer questions that people had from the first one.

Jurassic Park. This has been in the pipeline for almost 10 years and after recently watching the trilogy, I would love to see what is capable now especially if rumours are true that those who created Rise of The Planet of the Apes get on board.

District 9. What can I say? The first was excellent. To see another would be damn cool.

007. Skyfall was one of the best films of this year. Producers have already said Bond will return...but the announcement of title and stars is always exciting.

Finally, Star Wars. Following the announcement of the Disney takeover of Lucas films (let's forget about Indy for a few years), I've been up and down about the comeback of Star Wars. Down because I'm afraid it could be ruined. Up because I have been told that the same teams that made the Marvel movies could be involved. No matter what happens, these films will be the biggest films over the next 10 years. Title, cast and teasers will ensure for an exciting 2013 should Disney wish to proceed immediately.

So that's the list. 5 films I'd like to see announced or go into production next year.
We've been told that there will be another paranormal activity, which is always pretty exciting, Superman is making a return with Nolan at the helm, Star Trek 2 is also on the cards, and the final in the Cornetto Trilogy (Pegg and Frost) will be out next year.

Thankfully the Batman Trilogy ended well. Harry Potter was tied up as it should have, and there will be no more Twilight movies!!

I am pleading with all the film companies out there...please please please no more Hangover films, leave Back to the Future as it is, along with Indy and Ghostbusters (especially as Bill Murray is just toying with Ackroyd).
