I mean, Heracles? Okay, I'm sold. I had no idea this one was in the works. Who's directing? 3. Prince of Persia I like the casting. 4. God of War No clue. 5. The two part series of Harry Potter which it should have been that way with the other movies. Big Potter fan, so yes, I'm happy Deathly Hallows is being split into two films. 6. The two part series of the Hobbit which should have been that way with the Lord of the Rings especially Return of the King because of the Scouring of the Shire. It would have been nice to see the Scouring, I agree with that. Most readers/fans don't seem to grasp that this chapter is the real climax of the novel, when the hobbits reveal their heroic selves and all that they've learned in their quest comes to fruition to save their beloved homeland from the clutches of real, immediate, very human evil in the form of greed, industry, development. However, I think this could have fit into the film as produced, with some judicious cutting of the other sequences, namely the slow-mo hug-out and bed-jumping shenanigans. 7. Robin Hood Only if it's good, of which I'm not so certain. 8. Pirates of the Carribean 4 What's the approach here? Who's in the cast? I'll believe it when I see the trailer. 9. Rumors that the Odessey might be made in the same way as 300 the movie was made so if that happens I am looking forward to seeing that made into a movie. I like the made-for-TV 1995 version with Armand Assante. A Hollywood big-budget production would be nice. 10. If Assasins Creed becomes a Movie I would love to see that made too. No idea. Hope it's good, though, whatever it is!
