Do we get any "big" scifi/fantasy/historic movies in the near future?

Watch it? Must watch trailer again.

Mmmm.

(they swapped out the trailer though, the had a cooler, longer one up earlier, maybe someone can find it, but I think there was a thread here on poly for it a bit ago)

Saw it, it looks really cool and I look forward to it. I just hope they don't try to make too stupid points like the website of the movie when it says the 300 Spartans were "drawing a line in the sand for democracy". I also wonder how the Persians are depicted......

What's wrong with Eragon? I'm not defending it; I've never read it since it didn't sound interesting. Is it just another lame Tolkien ripoff or something?

[Kuciwalker]

Exactly.

It's a mish-mosh of Tolkein and Star Wars, really (the characterization, not the setting - that's all Tolkein-esq), and it's poorly written.

Apparently they are still working on a script: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender%27s_Game_%28film%29

And I thought Eragon was a good book...

There's that "Napoleonic Wars with Dragons" film...
Temeraire

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temeraire_%28series%29

And new Stargate films, based on the original movie. And new Stargåte films, tying up the Ori-arc...

And then there's Iron Sky, and Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning: Imperial Edition.

"The Fountain" seems like an interesting concept.

Oh, and there are rumors that "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" is going to be out in 2008 . They are still adapting the book to a script right now.

Wy does noone put Masters of Rome into a movie?
