2007 Anticipated Films Release Status

1. My Blueberry Nights - (June 2007, pending)

Will be Wong's poorest of the decade probably, but its stock is as high as ever. I'm loving Weisz more and more now. Although it seems to be a film mostly around Norah Jones, it is still my obvious #1 most anticipated because of director. No official release date, but it should be coming out this year, hopefully.

2. Summer Palace - (no info, probably DVD)

Only Cannes and film festivals have had the chance to see this. I probably won't find it anywhere on the big screen. It will be my number one most wanted on the big screen though.

3. Arms and the Man - (2007)

Again, no official release date, but I'm 80 percent sure this will not come out this year. Not even a single cast member has signed up yet. Mann definitely needs time to work on this project. The only film one my top three that are guaranteed a 07 release is probably Summer Palace.

4. Le Ballon Rouge - (2007, Cannes?)

Not sure of its date, but it doesn't look like it's even finished yet. I'm expecting a film better than Cafe Lumiere but not as good as Millenium Mambo or Three Times.

5. Spider Man 3 - (May 4, 2007)

The only one with an official release date. Will buy an advance ticket for opening day on IMAX, hopefully.

6. 300 - (rating pending)

Really indifferent the look of it, but hopefully bombastic gore as long as it doesn't take itself too seriously is ok.

7. Silk - (August - October 2007)

The only Knightley film I'm anticipating.

8. Sunshine - (December 2007)

Seems to be like the Children of Men of 07 which played in every European country before it hit the US months later. Went down because of such a long layoff, but it's still, for look and plot alone, one of the more interesting films this year.

9. Cassandra's Dream - (October 2007)

Entertainment. And Allen's last two pictures were both very entertaining.

10. She Ji - (September 2007)

Leung. That's it. And a film about a World War II film in Shanghai.
