With so many movies on the way, we here at O.G. want to make a list of our top 3 most anticipated movies of 2012. It goes a little something like this:
1. Coriolanus, starring Ralph Fiennes, Gerard Butler. Think Romeo & Juliet (with Leo) meets The Hurt Locker. It's Fiennes directorial debut about a disgraced and outcast General (Fiennes) who finds acceptance in the arms of his greatest enemy (Butler). Modern adaptations of Shakespeare are always interesting, and this doesn't look like it will disappoint. Watch for it on January 20, 2012.
2. The Avengers, starring RDJ, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, and more. This movie needs little introduction: the greatest crew of superheroes (Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, et al) must come together and stop a massive force of evil, Loki (from Thor lore). This one's not just for nerds and fanboys, as it looks incredible. Band together and check it out on May 4, 2012.
3. Prometheus, starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron. WOW is all we can say after watching that trailer. It looks like Ridley Scott is going to freak us out in his Alien prequel. The music and cuts bring about feelings of paranoia, isolation and claustrophobia. I love anything Fassbender does, guy's nothing short of an amazing actor. And always good to see Stringer Bell. See where it all started on June 8, 2012.
There you have it, just a small chunk of the movies we cannot wait to see next year. If the world indeed ends, this is not a bad way to go out.
