1. The Flowers of War (2011)
Director: Yimou Zhang
Cast: Christian Bale, Paul Schneider, Xinyi Zhang
...
Based on the novel 13 Flowers of Nanjing by Geling Yan


Why do I want to see it: I ran across the trailer couple of days ago, and i was stuned. We have Yimou Zhang directing the movie about Nanking during the World War II, with Christian Bale in the lead role. How can this possibly go wrong? It just can't.

Based on the novel by Stieg Larsson/Remake of 2009. Män som hatar kvinnor by Niels Arden Oplev



Why do I want to see it: I've never actually read the novel, and I'm not usualy fan of hollywood remakes, but this one is put in the hands of David Fincher, so I'll give it a go. I'm sure he'll do great. Besides, it's Daniel Craig.

Adaptation of the famous stories by Arthur Conan Doyle/Sequel to the 2009. Sherlock Holmes by Guy Ritchie



Why do I want to see it: I've allways loved A.C. Doyle's stories about the great detective, and the 2009. film was the best movie adaptation I've seen so far. I liked the idea of Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock and I'm sure that Ritchie won't dissapoint me. Also, in this one we'll see more of Sherlock's arch enemy: Professor Moriarty.

8. The Raven (2012)
Director: James McTeigue
Cast: John Cusack, Alice Eve, Luke Evans, Brendan Gleeson
...
A fictionalized account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe's life.



Why do I want to see it: I've allways been a huge fan of Edgar Allan Poe and his work. I like the idea and i think that James McTeigue could do a wonderful job. I'm just a little bit dissapointed about the cast. If it was up to me, Alan Rickman would get the part of Edgar Allan Poe. But I'm sure John will do just fine.

I've always loved the undead theme in movies so that's another plus. I guess you could say that this is my guilty pleasure.

Several of these I want to see too. Can't picture John Cusack as E.A. Poe though, that one messes with my head a bit. (And since you like Poe, I recommend you check out Masters of Horror: The Black Cat if you haven't yet...good stuff all around on that one.)

Not hearing good things so far on Sherlock 2 & didn't care for the first one much, so that one wouldn't be on my list. Some of these I'll have to look into...
