Alice in Wonderland
Release Date: March 5th
Once again the unbeatable duo of actor Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton is upon us, they've collaborated several times together before this project, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands to name a few, and they are back in this sequel to a classic "Alice in Wonderland"
We are also again taken into this 3D concept which nowadays is indeed nothing new, but always a pleasant touch. Lewis Carroll's story as told in the Disney 1951 original continues as we now see Alice at the age of 19 -she is again taken back into the magical world where she once was when she was a kid.
Why is she back there again? Well she soon finds out as she must end the evil Red Queens reign over the land. This film will indeed be interesting to watch, kind of like watching another re-make of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in which the original was a lovely, happy story and really just your average kids movie. But when Tim Burton got his hands on to re inventing it, he added his own talent making it feel kind of out of this world and a lot more darker.
I am more than certain that this will occur again in Alice in Wonderland as he takes it one step further and makes a sequel to a film made nearly sixty years ago.
Comedy, adventure, and a whole bunch of enchanting characters have all been chucked into this film, as well as a $250 million budget, making it sure to be a dazzling watch, its been hyped up since at least November last year, so make sure you don't miss it.
Clash of the Titans
Release Date: March 26th
As if Sam Worthington couldn't have a better start to the year, the last film he appeared in was Avatar which is nominated for 9 Oscar awards, there is actually no stopping him as he comes blasting back onto our cinema screens in a remake of the 1981 classic.
The mortal son of Zeus (Liam Neeson), Perseus (Sam Worthington) is sent on a quest to the dark underworld to stop the evil Hades ruling the world. Yes the story line may well just seem like your standard good vs. evil plot and I guess to some extent it is, but at the same time it looks like it will really hit new heights for being imaginative and spectacular.
Director Louis Leterrier is behind this one so really anything could happen, his last project was the supreme Incredible Hulk which did indeed surpass the terrible efforts of the first one. So with that being said maybe this Clash of the Titans re-birth with all its CGI packaging could be more superior to the original one which has no CGI at all?
We will just have to wait and see !
How to Train Your Dragon
Release Date: March 31st
From the creators of the 2001 masterpiece "Shrek" we are again thrown into another 3D animated world, with actors Jonah Hill and Gerard Butler doing the voices - this certainly is a package that guarantees a good watch without even needing to see the trailers.
Based on the 2003 book with the same title, "How to Train Your Dragon" tells the story of Hiccup who Is a young and adventurous Viking teenager always struggling to fit in with his friends and family who are mostly dragon slayers. One day he encounters a dragon that isn't quite as deadly as the others and life rapidly changes for Hiccup as the dragon shows him the true side to the mythical creature.
This looks to be something mainly for the kids, but with such a varied cast and a some what unique storyline compared to all the other animation films released recently this may well fit more than just one type of audience.
