For sure:
Dark Knight Rises
Hobbit

Maybe:
GI Joe 2
Prometheus
Bourne Legacy (hopefully it's filmed like the first two, not the last one)
Total Recall

What do you have against the directing of the 3rd bourne film?

all of them were directed by Greengrass.. It's some next director taking the franchise to the next level.

those 3 are the only movies i lost count watching.

i vie for debut screening passes to the bourne legacy - i will hop on a flight and fly to europe to watch the debut.
 
i wonder if the bourne legacy will have a motorcycle in it .. lol bourne ultimatum had a sick motorcycle scene.
 
Prometheus all the way. Total Recall looks better than I expected, hope they bring back the triple-boobed alien.
 
I guess you can say what re-make are you looking forward to the most in 2012.

I hated how they filmed a lot of scenes with a 'moving camera', like a first person running, everything shaking, really screwed up.

True, but how can you 'look forward' to a movie if all you know about it is like a 5-line synopsis? I stopped looking forward to the movies, which were based on the books, after one movie completely screwed up my favourite book. Movies based on real life events? Meh..

Looks like an exact remake of the first wrapped in 5th Element packaging peppered with with some Bourne scenes. Formulaic but worth a DL.

Doesn't matter, still looks exciting. It's a nostalgia thing I guess.

Apparently theres no Mars in this version so it doesn't bode well for Kuato and the other mutants but there damn well better be triple boobs in this flick!
 
It looks as if though the "lets make a movie based on every single comic book hero" phase has passed and we have hit the "lets cash in on the movies that did o.k. a few years ago and make a gazillion sequels...." phase has hit with a vengeance. How many res. evil movies is that now? 5? 10?
Here's a list of JUST the sequels coming out this year

Men in Black 3
Madagascar 3
American Pie 4
Underworld 4
Wrath of Titans
Star Trek 2
Ice Age 4 (REALLY!?!?)
Bourne Legacy
GI Joe 2
Monsters Inc 2
Ghost Busters 3
Die Hard 5 (OMG DIE ALREADY!!)

There are another 20 or so SEQUELS that are in Development, such as Indiana Jones 5, Mad Max 4, Ironman 3, 28 Months later and.........i cant believe this...Austin Powers 4

Basically, ANY and i do mean ANY good movie in the last 20 years has a prequel or sequel in development. How many will come of fruition is unknown but i am looking forward to some. Independence Day has not one but two movies scheduled to begin filming...Seeing as how that was one of THE biggest movies to start the whole "summer blockbuster" type of movie i am looking forward to see how they will butch....i mean add to the storyline.
 
I'm cautiously anticipating the Akira adaptation. I don't expect a live action flick to do it justice--much less a westernized hollywood production--but if they put half the effort that went into the original then I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
[EDIT] Sorry, not 2012. [/EDIT]

The original "Jaws", that set records that lasted a decade of more, was released in June of 1975. It's the original Summer Blockbuster. It's still number 57 on the all-time earners list.

*EDIT* Star Wars (1977) actually beat it for total earnings, but it had other records like biggest opening weekend.

i guess you missunderstood, i never meant that ID was THE block buster....but does anyone remember the advertising campaign before that movie opened? the type of "news broadcasting" commercials that meant to make it seem real. Thats what made that movie stand out in terms of "block buster" since then, every summer, one movie is advertised as being the IT movie. Avatar was last years (or was it year before)? Iron Man was another, Batman etc etc.
