Upcoming
Science Fiction Movies

Trailers of upcoming science fiction movies are our little holes in the fabric of spacetime. They let us peek into the future and see what kind of SF movies are there waiting for us.

Though the movie trailers are just a glimpse of the real thing, they sure put a smile on my face and make the waiting that much sweeter.

Here is the list of upcoming science fiction movies with info and trailers.

The Crazies

Director: Breck Eisner

Cast:
Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker, Joe Anderson, Preston Bailey

Studio: Overture Films

Tagline:"Fear Thy Neighbor"

Comments:

Poisoned water supply turns inhabitants of "Ogden Marsh, the friendliest place on earth" into a bunch of crazies. Those who preserved their senses are the unlucky ones.

It seems that sf movies suit Radha Mitchell just fine. After Surrogates we find her in another one. Way to go Radha! :) Timothy Olyphant will likely look familiar too. His last SF movie was Dreamcatcher.

The Book of Eli

Directors: Albert and Allen Hughes

Cast:
Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Jennifer Beals, Ray Stevenson

Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures

Tagline:"Some will kill to have it. He will kill to protect it. "

Comments:
In a world destroyed by war a warrior carries a book which contains a secret to human salvation. And everybody wants it!

Avatar

Director: James Cameron

Cast:
Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana, Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Lang

Studio: Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation

Comments:
Can't help it, my heart pumps faster when you utter "James Cameron" and "science fiction movie" in the same sentence.

And here it comes: Cameron's Avatar is waiting for us in December. Great (Christmas) present for science fiction explorers like us.

The Fourth Kind

Director: Olatunde Osunsanmi

Cast:
Milla Jovovich, Will Patton, Elias Koteas, Corey Johnson, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Daphne Alexander

Studio: Universal Pictures

Tagline:"There are four kinds of alien encounters. The fourth kind is abduction."

Comments:
Alien abduction. Based on facts (or so they say...). Disturbing images. We even get a warning from Mila Jovovich at the opening of the trailer. Enough said...Enjoy!

2012

Director: Roland Emmerich

Cast:
Amanda Peet, John Cusack, Oliver Platt, Woody Harrelson, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Chiwetel Ejiofor

Studio: Sony Pictures Releasing

Tagline:"We Were Warned."

Comments:
After an alien invasion and ice age, director Roland Emmerich brings us another disaster movie. The Mayan calendar predicts the end of the world which will take place on December 21, 2012, but there's no need to wait that long. Brace yourselves! "The end is just beginning!" Imaginary run for our lives starts in November.

Planet 51

Director: David Bowers

Cast/Voices:
Dwayne Johnson, Justin Long, Jessica Biel, Gary Oldman, John Cleese, Seann William Scott

Comments:
Interesting twist on the alien invasion theme. Considering all those cute references to famous SF movies, I have a feeling the adults will enjoy this movie more than kids. :)

The Road

Viggo Mortensen, Robert Duvall, Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Molly Parker

Studio: Dimension Films

Comments:
Movie is based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winner novel and tells a story of a post-apocalyptic world, hunt and the bravery of a single man. Definitely worth checking out.
