Ich habe mal einige Infos zusammengetragen über die SF und Fantasy-Filme und Serien, die uns in den nächsten 2 1/2-Jahren erwarten. Ich habe mich dabei auf Projekte beschränkt, die mit relativ großer Wahrscheinlichkeit realisiert werden. Natürlich wird dennoch der eine oder andere Film verschoben oder ganz aufgegeben werden.
Die Inhaltsangaben habe ich zum größten Teil aus der IMDB kopiert.

28 WEEKS LATER
Sequel zu 28 DAYS LATER

AVATAR
A love story set against interplanetary war.
R, B: James Cameron

BEOWULF
he Old English epic poem, which is thought to have been written in theeighth century, chronicles the exploits of Beowulf , a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the indomitable monster Grendel
R: Robert Zemeckis B: Roger Avary

BEOWULF & GRENDEL
Und noch eine Beowulf-Verfilmung. Diese ist eine kanadisch-isländisch-britische Co-Produktion.
Adapted from the Anglo-Saxon epic poem, Beowulf, BEOWULF & GRENDEL is a medieval adventure that tells the blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior's battle against the great and murderous troll, Grendel. Heads will roll in this provocative take on the first major work of English literature. Out of allegiance to the King Hrothgar, the much respected Lord of the Danes, Beowulf leads a troop of warriors across the sea to rid a village of the marauding monster. The monster, Grendel, is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood - immense flesh and raging blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, has become increasingly troubled by the hero-myth rising up around his exploits. Beowulf's willingness to kill on behalf of Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll's rampages than was first apparent. As a soldier, Beowulf is unaccustomed to hesitating. His relationship with the mesmerizing witch, Selma, creates deeper confusion. Swinging his sword at a great, stinking beast is no longer such a simple act. The story is set in barbarous Northern Europe where the reign of the many-gods is giving way to one - the southern invader, Christ. Beowulf is a man caught between sides in this great shift, his simple code transforming and falling apart before his eyes. Building toward an inevitable and terrible battle, this is a tale where vengeance, loyalty and mercy powerfully entwine. A story of blood and beer and sweat, BEOWULF & GRENDEL strips away the mask of the hero-myth, leaving a raw and tangled tale that rings true through the centuries.

HIGHRISE von Natali ?? KLASSE !!!
Gibts dazu nähere Infos: Cast & Crew und ab wann der im Kino läuft ??

[heino]

Zieht man jetzt mal die unnötigen Remakes und die Projekte, die schon seit Ewigkeiten in der Development Hell stecken (z.B. The demolished man, I am legend), von dieser Liste ab, dann bleibt nicht mehr viel übrig, das lohnenswert erscheint. Ich setze meine Hoffnungen auf The Fountain und A scanner darkly

Die beiden und THE PRESTIGE sind auch meine Favoriten.
Mit I AM LEGEND scheint es ja nun vorwärts zu gehen...nur scheint man aus der tollen Romanvorlage ein banales Will Smith-Action-Spektakel machen zu wollen

WB preps 'final cut' of sci-fi classic

By DIANE GARRETT

Warner homevid has disentangled "Blade Runner's" famously thorny rights issues to pave the way for a September reissuereissue of the remastered "Director's Cut" version, followed by a theatrical release of a version promised to be truly Ridley ScottRidley Scott's final cut.

Warner's rights to "Blade Runner" lapsed a year ago, but the studio has since negotiated a long-term license. The pic, now considered a sci-fi classic, has had a troubled history from the start: When Scott ran overbudget, completion bond guarantors took control of it and made substantial changes before its 1982 theatrical release, adding a voiceovervoiceover and happy ending. That version was replaced by the much better-received director's cut in 1992, but Scott has long been unhappy with it, complaining that he was rushed and unable to give it proper attention.

The helmer started working on the final cut version in 2000, but that project was shelved by Warner soon after, apparently because the studio couldn't come to terms with Jerry Perenchio over rights issues.

The restored "Director's Cut" will debut on homevid in September, and remain on sale for four months only, after which time it will be placed on moratorium. "Blade Runner: Final Cut" will arrive in 2007 for a limited 25th anniversary theatrical run, followed by a special edition DVD with the three previous versions offered as alternate viewing: Besides the original theatrical version and director's cut, the expanded international theatrical cut will be included. The set will also contain additional bonus materials.

The massive "Blade Runner" project comes on the heels of Scott's four-disc treatment for "Kingdom of Heaven," released this week by Fox homevid, less than a year after the pic's initial homevid release.
