Here's some upcoming movies (to western markets) during 2008 that will certainly be worth keeping an eye out for.
The list is pretty meaty so read on after the break...
Big Budget Pomp
These are the sequels and big budget hookey that you may want to keep an eye on over the coming year.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
The new Indiana Jones flick. Currently there are no trailers and just worries about Harrison Ford's age and the ability of the team to pull off a half decent flick.
Dark Knight
Quote:
Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.
The new Batman movie. if this is even half as good as Batman Begins this should be a great film to watch out for
Cloverfield
Quote:
Giant monster attack, "Blair Witch"-style.
Even though Blair Witch was terrible, the concept here should be entertaining if nothing else.
New Films
These are a selection of movies to watch out for that are new, fresh or just surprising.
Charleston & Vendetta
Quote:
Serbia in the 1920s, after The First World War - a beautiful, brutal land, suspended between East and West, between ancient magic and the forces of civilization. High in the mountains of this mysterious, battle-scarred country lays the village of Pokrp, whose men folk have been eradicated by generations of war. A village of lovelorn women, starving for men. When sisters Little Boginja and Ognjenka inadvertently kill Pokrp’s sole surviving male, a death sentence at the hands of the womenfolk seems certain. But they are granted a reprieve, on the condition that they find a living, virile man and bring him back to the village. Under the watchful eye of their grandmother’s soul, the feisty but innocent pair set out into the big, wide world. Lust, love, a hot-headed strongman and Belgrade’s lecherous dance hall king await them…
Just watch the trailer below and tell me if you don't feel excited about this upcoming movie! A very promising Serbian production.
Diary of the Dead
Quote:
A group of young film students run into real-life zombies while filming a horror movie of their own.
Mongol
Quote:
The story recounts the early life of Genghis Khan who was a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206.
Russia wowed everyone recently with high quality, big budget productions like Night Watch and has been churning out great modern films at a steady pace. This one is definitely one to keep an eye on when it hits western screens this year.
Wall-E
Quote:
The year is 2700. WALL*E, a robot, spends every day doing what he was made for. But soon, he will discover what he was meant for.
Pixar movies are always great...

Dante 01
Quote:
Deep space, at the edge of the galaxy. The future. A new prisoner arrives on top-security prison ship and psychiatric research unit Dante 01. Sole survivor of an encounter with an alien force beyond imagining, Saint Georges is a man possessed by inner demons, caught up in the battle to control the monstrous power within him. It’s a power that will infect the other highly dangerous occupants of Dante 01, [jailers] and prisoners alike, unleashing a violent rebellion that turns this terrifying, labyrinthine world upside down. In the otherworldly hell of the ship’s depths, through danger and redemption, each must journey to his very limits… each must confront his own Dragon. A unique science-fiction nightmare vision, Dante 01 is the long-awaited solo debut from the legendary co-creator of The City of Lost Children and Delicatessen.

The only way to escape the creature that pursues him: climb to the surface through a series of paths with the atmosphere of a graveyard, abandoned by a mysterious organization: Eden Log.
While covering the night shift at a small-town fire department, an ambitious young television reporter (Manuela Velasco) and her cameraman follow the crew on a call to rescue an elderly woman unable to escape the inferno that is consuming her home.
