LEGION
Tentative release date: January 2010
What’s it about: Trust us when we tell you that this is going to be one epic movie. Legion revolves around a group of strangers in an eatery who become the first line of defense when God, believing the human race is no longer worthy of Him, decides to end their existence. The group's only ally? A fallen archangel named Michael who voluntarily falls to Earth to save the savior of mankind.
What you need to know: The man who played Silas in The Da Vinci Code, Paul Bettany, will be playing fallen angel Michael and starring alongside him will be a list of big name stars, which includes the likes of Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Kate Walsh and Tyrese Gibson. After seeing Hollywood's version of the wrath of mother earth (in 2012), we can only imagine how they envision the wrath of God!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Tentative release date: March 2010
What’s it about: In this upcoming Tim Burton feature, sweet little Alice, now 17, returns to Wonderland to find that the Red Queen has overthrown her sister. The creatures of Wonderland – the Cheshire cat, Tweedledee and Tweedledum and the March Hare – are ready to revolt and they are waiting for Alice to help them. With the support of the White Queen, the Mad Hatter and the Caterpillar, Alice starts seeing flashbacks of her last visit, back when she was younger.
What you need to know: This is not the Alice in Wonderland you knew from your Disney-filled youth. Like most Tim Burton movies, it is a lot darker and scarier. The film will use a technique of combining live action, motion capture technology, and stop motion. It will be released in the 3D format as well. Hollywood A-listers Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway will be playing the Mat Hatter and the White Queen, respectively. Newcomer Mia Wasikowska beat out actresses Amanda Seyfried and Lindsay Lohan for the role of Alice and Helena Bonham Carter will play the Red Queen.

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET
Tentative release date: April 2010
What’s it about: Sure to excite, and render sleepless your nights. The new Nightmare on Elm Street is a re-imagining of the horror icon Freddy Krueger, the serial-killer who wields a four-bladed glove and attacks his victims in their dreams.
What you need to know: The new Nightmare on Elm Street will be produced by Michael Bay (of Transformers fame), so we're expecting over the top explosions and a drastically different Krueger depicted on screen. All The King’s Men star Jackie Earle will be donning the deadly gloves this time, succeeding the role made famous by Robert Englund. Rising starlet Rooney Mara takes over the role of Nancy Thompson, originally portrayed by Heather Langenkamp.

IRON MAN 2
Tentative release date: May 2010
What’s it about: The man in that cool iron suit is back for another round of cool-fest! Iron Man 2 is set six months after the events of the first film. Tony Stark is out in the open, having revealed his identity as Iron Man and the public attention has taken its toll on him. Meanwhile, things aren’t looking too good at Stark Industries; as the government is working to co-op his infamous armour. A powerful competitor named Justin Hammer also threatens Tony’s business, and a new enemy named Whiplash is hot on his tail.
What you need to know: Both Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow reprise their roles as Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Mickey Rourke will be playing baddie Whiplash and the sexy starlet Scarlett Johansson dawns the role of Black Widow. But the coolest bit about this movie is that the equally-awesome War Machine, an Iron Man look-alike/sidekick will be joining forces with our favourite hero to whoop some nefarious butt!

THE TWILIGHT SAGE: ECLIPSE
Tentative release date: June 2010
What’s it about: The third installment of the cult movie/book series Twilight continues with Bella and Edward reuniting but their forbidden relationship is threatened to be torn apart again, with evil vampire Victoria still seeking her revenge. Bella is forced to choose between her true love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob Black, as the battle between vampires and werewolves continues. Bella also has to choose between her humanity and immortality?
What you need to know: Yes, Twihards, Hollywood's golden trifecta is back. Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner as well as Kristen Stewart will be reprising their roles as Edward Cullen, Jacob Black and Bella Swan (respectively) in the third instalment. However, Rachelle Lefevre – who played evil vamp Victoria in the first two movies – has been let go due to scheduling conflicts and will be replaced by Terminator Salvation star Bryce Dallas Howard, injecting some star power into the franchise.
JONAH HEX
Tentative release date: June 2010
What’s it about: Jonah Hex is the story of a scarred bounty hunter from the wild west who hunts zombies for a living. When a voodoo practitioner becomes hell-bent on raising an army of the undead, Jonah (Josh Brolin) and his pretty partner-in-crime Leila (Megan Fox) must do everything in their power to stop the evil practitioner from turning the Wild West into a zombie wasteland.
What you need to know: Guys, rejoice! The ever-so-sexy Megan Fox will be taking a break from Shia LaBeouf and Bumblebee to play Leila, Jonah Hex’s OMG-she’s-so-freakin'-sexy partner and love interest. No Country for Old Men star Josh Brolin will be playing the lead role after beating out The Punisher star Thomas Jane. We're a little creeped out by the age difference between Brolin, 41, and Fox, 23. Saving you the trouble of doing the math, that's 18 years - a whole other consenting adult. I guess there's hope for every uncle out there!

THE GREEN HORNET
Tentative release date: June 2010
What’s it about: The legendary Green Hornet is getting a makeover! Based on the popular 1966 TV series, The Green Hornet revolves around Britt Reid, a newspaper publisher by day and a masked vigilante called the Green Hornet by night. After the co-founder of a San Francisco newspaper is shot in his home, Britt promises his father, the other co-founder of The Sentinel that he won't rest until he brings the murderer to justice.
What you need to know: Funnyman Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Pineapple Express) agreed to lose a considerable amount of weight to play the Green Hornet. Taiwanese singer Jay Chou, who replaced Stephen Chow, will be playing The Green Hornet's trusty sidekick Kato. A-Lister Cameron Diaz will appear in the film as a love-interest/reporter. Christoph Waltz, who replaced Nicholas Cage, has been cast as Chudnofsky, the Green Hornet's nemesis.

SALT
Tentative release date: July 2010
What’s it about: A (somewhat) new twist on the classic spy flick, Salt revolves around renegade CIA agent Evelyn Salt who is on the run from authorities after a defector accused her of being a Russian sleeper spy. Having sworn an oath to duty, honour, and country, Evelyn must use all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture, protect her husband and clear her name before the world's most powerful forces erase any trace of her existence. Fun!
What you need to know: Sexy action star Angelina Jolie, who's made quite the career out of playing deadly femmes, will take on the role of super-spy Evelyn Salt. X-Men star Liev Screiber will star alongside her. We just can’t wait to see if Angie's still got it, doing what she does best – kicking baddie a** in style!

THE KARATE KID
Tentative release date: July 2010
What’s it about: In yet another re-boot of a popular movie franchise, the new Karate Kid tells the story of a young kid named Dre who, with his mother, moves to Beijing. However, things are not well for Dre as he encounters a bully situation in his new locale. Dre then seeks the help of Mr. Han, a martial art master who teaches him the art of kung fu to fend for himself against the bullies.
What you need to know: Well, it comes as no surprise that Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan was cast to play Mr. Han, the martial arts master. However, it was quite the shocker when Will Smith’s son, Jaden Smith, was cast to play Dre – the equivalent to the Daniel LaRusso character in the original Karate Kid movie. But we'd be foolish to write the young Jaden off. Jackie Chan has already praised Jaden's martial arts skills, insisting the 11-year-old is better at kung fu than his own son.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HOLLOWS
Tentative release date: July 2010
What’s it about: The final chapter of the ultra-successful Harry Potter franchise, the Deathly Hallows picks up where the Half-Blood Prince left off. Following the death of Dumbledore, the evil Lord Voldemort has completed his ascension to power and gains control of the Ministry of Magic. Our heroes Harry, Ron, and Hermione drop out of school so that they can find and destroy Voldemort's remaining three Horcruxes, in a bid to stop the Dark Lord from creating more havoc.
What you need to know: The Deathly Hallows will be released in two parts: part one of Deathly Hallows will premiere sometime in July 2010 and part two is scheduled for release in 2011. Directors extraordinaire M. Night Shyamalan and Guillermo del Toro initially expressed some interest in the films, but producers stuck with director David Yates.
