Up & Coming -- A SciFi Holiday

Well here's a look ahead, just in case you're craving your SciFi. There are a number of the genre's movies scheduled for the Aug & the fall. -- anyone a fan or maybe just curious?

Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings Trilogy) has District 9 due out on August 14 == a fictional world with aliens (ETs) as refugees in South Africa. Looks War of World-ish. Watch the preview...

Bruce Willis is back (with Radha Mitchell) as an FBI agents investigating a college murder in Surrogates, due Sept 25. People choose life like robots (surrogates) to live their lives. (hmmm)

And if you want humor in your horror...how about Zombieland, starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg. An "on the road comedy" finds the duo on a cross country trek where zombies are the scenic fare. I still don't think anyone got humor in zombies quite like Sean of the Dead.

Another disaster movie...but it sure looked cool in previews. Roland Emmerich's 2012 previews are now online. Not arriving in theaters until November 13, the flick has some notables: John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover and Woody Harrelson. Action/adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and its heroic survivors.
