**** The same thing happened with TobeyMaguire. I remember hearing one guy actually say that ''JetLi'' should be {{Spider-Man}}. Yes. ''[[YourHeadAsplode Jet. Li.]]'' Again, you're not casting someone to play Spider-Man, you're casting someone to play Peter Parker, which Tobey did very well(even if it ''was'' an extreme case of DawsonCasting).

* When the cast for [[TheFilmOfTheBook the film of]] ''{{Twilight}}'' was announced, to say that fans went into an uproar would be an understatement.

*** And Michael Fassbender as a young Magneto. [[InglouriousBasterds There's a special rung in hell for those who waste a perfectly good cast]], so yeah, this one is probably going to work.
*** And they snagged the guy who directed ''Film/KickAss''.
* ''{{Deadpool}}'' movie? Oh man, it's just going to suck cause it's going to be based on the Wolverine movie...oh wait, they put him in the uniform? And they're ignoring the last movie in favor of a reboot? ''He broke the fourth wall?'' Hooray for Ryan Reynolds! And the script is going to be written by the guys who did Zombieland? WE WANT!
** And Reynolds is trying to make it [[CrazyAwesome a musical]].
* The first pictures of HeathLedger as TheJoker in ''[[TheDarkKnightSaga The Dark Knight]]'' silenced those who thought he'd just be a pretty boy in facepaint. He went on to win an ''AcademyAward'' for the role, and the movie grossed over $1 billion worldwide. To just about everybody he was the best part of the movie. It is no wonder why the picture of the Joker was on the Film section of MagnificentBastard.
** Those pictures may have dumped the pretty boy fears, but they split the fanbase. The arrival of the trailer showed off the performance and made almost everyone a believer.
* ''Film/AliceInWonderland'', directed by TimBurton.
* ''StarTrek''[='=]s fanbase may waver between [[UnpleasableFanbase unpleasable]] and near-catastrophically [[BrokenBase broken]] -- ''especially'' when it comes to the [[Film/StarTrek eleventh movie]] -- but there isn't a Trekkie alive who doesn't think Michael Giacchino's score is going to be ''awesome.''
** Having Zachary "[[Series/{{Heroes}} Sylar]]" Quinto as Spock also helped. Cue "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E1SpocksBrain Spock's Brain]]" joke.
** If that doesn't do it for you, try [[ShaunOfTheDead Simon]] [[HotFuzz Pegg]] as Scotty on for size.
** [[HaroldAndKumar Harold]] joining Starfleet Academy? Sweet!
** JJAbrams as director!? DO WANT!
** Not to mention the fact that they're bringing back Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, aka the First Lady of Trek, to play the ''Enterprise'' computer voice again. WIN. Unfortunately, it was her last role before her death.
** Michael Giacchino, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, John Cho, JJAbrams, even Majel Barrett... all pale in comparison to the fact that [[spoiler: LeonardNimoy is returning to play Future Spock. Nimoy being thrilled with the film is what actually brought over most of the fanbase.]]
*** [[spoiler: For some Trek fandom circles, this trope might as well be called Cue Nimoy.]]
** And for you technical geeks, the fact that [[{{WALL-E}} Ben]] [[StarWars Burtt]] did the [[http://trekmovie.com/2009/01/05/star-trek-post-production-complete-oscar-winner-ben-burtt-provided-sound-design/ sound design]].

** This was far from Star Trek's first such moment. [[StarTrekTheMotionPicture The first movie]] was visually splendid but ultimately boring and most fans didn't care about it. So when they heard about [[StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan a second movie]], reactions were tentative, to say the least. Then they learned Ricardo Montalban was going to be reprising [[Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed his role from the Original Series]] as the movie's main villain...

* When the cast for [[TheFilmOfTheBook the film of]] ''{{Twilight}}'' was announced, to say that fans went into an uproar would be an understatement. From complaints that Robert "[[Film/HarryPotter Cedric Diggory]]" Pattinson wasn't good looking enough to play Edward, to people whining that Bella was not being played by Emily [[ASeriesofUnfortunateEvents "Violet Baudelaire"]] Browning, there was InternetBackdraft to be seen miles away. And then promotional pictures, trailers and behind-the-scenes stories came out, winning back the fandom's support. Even so, there remained a [[UnpleasableFanbase small, but nonetheless vocal, faction]] still [[AccentuateTheNegative complaining about anything they could think of.]] All of them still went and saw the movie on the day it came out.
** As for the sequel, ''New Moon'', another was pulled off when Dakota Fanning was cast as CreepyChild vampire Jane.
* Will Ferrell in a ''LandOfTheLost'' movie? I'll watch the trailer... lame... lame... lame... lame... SLEESTAK! Okay, you sold me.
* Way back in 1982, many fans of ''TheLastUnicorn'' couldn't believe that any animated film adaptation could possibly capture the magic of the original... until they saw that the original author, [[PeterSBeagle Peter S. Beagle]], was writing the screenplay.
* ''[[ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim vs. The World]]''. Michael Cera as the titular [[PlayingAgainstType Scott Pilgrim]], yawn. MaryElizabethWinstead playing Ramona Flowers, could be interesting. [[{{Spaced}} Edgar]] [[ShaunOfTheDead Fucking]] [[HotFuzz Wright]] directing the film, SCORE!
** Then the first image from the film was released, involving a [[IncendiaryExponent flaming]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] and a backflip. [[http://www.edgarwrighthere.com/media/ultraculture.html The internet's response]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtKAfoIllbo The first trailer has come. Epic Epicness!]]
** And the game of the movie. [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames Eh...]] I guess Beat 'Em Ups are fun. Maybe... Wait, Anamanaguchi is doing the music? And Paul Fucking Robertson is doing the sprites? Holy crap! Please welcome The New Ultimate Jesus [game]!
* The live-action adaptation of ''{{Where The Wild Things Are}}''. Hmmm, not really feeling it...wait, you said ''Spike Jonze'' is directing this? And Karen O of the YeahYeahYeahs is writing the score? ''And the teaser trailer uses a rare acoustic version of '''Arcade Fire's Wake Up?!?''''' Two tickets, please!
** Then there's the promo video in which the book's author Maurice Sendak gushes over how great the film is.
** For many, the [[AndTheFandomRejoiced Fandom Rejoice]] moment came when they saw the first trailer and saw, holy crap, real puppets instead of 100% CG.
* The ''WorldOfWarcraft'' movie will be directed by SamRaimi, of ''EvilDead, Film/{{Spider-Man}}'' and ''[[XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]]'' fame. ''HELL YES''.
** And they explicitly told UweBoll to go fuck himself when he expressed interest in it. ''DOUBLE HELL YES''.
* The ''[[Film/EdgeOfDarkness2010 Edge of Darkness]]'' film adaptation. For some it was Mel Gibson and Robert De Niro (later replaced by Ray Winstone). For some it was Martin Campbell, director of ''{{GoldenEye}}'', ''CasinoRoyale'' and the [[Series/EdgeOfDarkness original miniseries]].
* It's recently been confirmed by Fox that there will be another ''{{Alien}}'' film. "Ugh, you got to be kidding me, '''another''' ''Alien'' movie? It better not be another crappy ''[[AlienVersusPredator AVP]]'' movie... HOLY SHIT!! RidleyScott is directing! And it's a prequel! Redemption is at hand!"
** [[DivorcedInstallment Then came]] [[http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/01/14/alien-prequel-prometheus-ridley-scott/ this]]. The title of the article says everything.
* Okay, there's ''ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', with one group of people complaining that Disney's going to screw up and make it all racist and another group whining how Disney's caving in and making it too [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad politically correct]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcF4gzr_KJY Out comes the second trailer...]] Whoops, everyone's busy squealing with excitement now!
** And KeithDavid gets a ''VillainSong''?!
*** With Randy Newman doing both the score ''and'' the songs, who can't be excited to listen?
** At least some of the fandom rejoiced ''much'' earlier, simply because Disney announced this as their first hand-drawn film since 2004.
** And there was a lot of rejoicing when it was announced that Anika Noni Rose, who stole quite a lot of scenes in the film version of ''{{Dreamgirls}}'', was going to voice the titular princess.
* While we are talking about Disney, ''TheGreatMouseDetective'' is also a great example: "Oh... SherlockHolmes. [[RecycledInSpace Mice.]] [[SarcasmMode How original]]. Thanks for killing another classi... hey, is that VincentPrice? As the main villain? It ''must'' be awesome."
** ''{{Older Than They Think}}''. It was actually based on a series of children's books about mice who lived in the basement of Holmes' building; Basil hero-worshipped Holmes and decided to emulate him.
* When ''QuantumOfSolace'' showed that JamesBond went back to the iconic PPK, the fans went wild. The P99 was never really liked in the fan community at all.
** After the disastrous ''DieAnotherDay'' [[TaintedByThePreview they're rebooting the Bond films with]] [[ReplacementScrappy an actor everybody hates]]. Then they saw the movie, including had the book's "The bitch is dead" ending and suddenly fans were all "Pierce who?"
*** Brosnan was mostly a great Bond. Craig seems even better, though it still doesn't quite measure up to the Bourne series.
** It may be [[DevelopmentHell premature]], but {{Music/Muse}} wants to do the next Bond [[http://music.ign.com/articles/102/1025253p1.html theme]]. Yes, ''[[KnightsOfCydonia that]]'' {{Music/Muse}}.
** They were going to do the entire score for the ClashOfTheTitans remake, but after recording 40 minutes of material decided it was too intensive to continue.
* They're making a movie out of ''MammaMia''? Oh God, musicals have just hit a new lo- wait. Did you just say they cast ''MerylStreep'' as Donna? Fuck yes!
* Interest in a fourth ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' movie was fairly low until it was revealed it would be a new story ejecting pretty much everything apart from JohnnyDepp and Geoffrey Rush, whose awesome-cred had survived the [[BrokenBase third film intact]]. The departure of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley was mostly welcomed, but not as much as the news that movie would be based on TimPowers' book ''On Stranger Tides'' which had inspired both the first Pirates movie and also ''TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland'', which is often heralded as also inspiring the series. There is now much greater interest in the project.
** Ian [=McShane=] is Blackbeard. [[SexyBeast IAN MCSHANE]] is [[BadAss BLACKBEARD.]]
** ''Dead Man's Chest'' deserves a mention. At the end the crew is mourning Jack's death. However the voodoo lady promises that they can resue him if they were willing to meet [[SequelHook at world's end]]. She also mentioned them needing a captain. Enter Barbossa, the first film's BigBad, walking down the steps, [[TrademarkFavoriteFood chomping on an apple]], inquiring what's become of his ship.
* A ''DoctorStrange'' movie? [[AdaptationDecay Yeah, cause it worked SO well before...]] Guillermo del Toro you say? Well, I suppose it might be at least ''watchable'' - hold the phone, '''''NeilGaiman?''''' ... I think I wet myself.
* People were uneasy about the ''Film/PrinceOfPersia: The Sands of Time'' movie adaptation, [[VideoGameMoviesSuck admittedly with good reason]]. Details trickled out such as the casting of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince... Dastan, giving a name to the [[NoNameGiven previously nameless]] Prince. Then Jordan Mechner, the man behind the original game, was revealed to be involved ''very'' heavily with the project, and photos trickled out, [[EstrogenBrigadeBait mostly of shirtless-Gyllenhaal]]. No one seemed to be willing to commit to a strong opinion either way even after these revelations, though. It was the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgEt-4L3fKQ trailer]], which contained intense action sequences with LeParkour that was so emblematic of the Prince, as well as [[DeadpanSnarker his trademark snark]], that had people saying "holy crap, this might actually be the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative greatest video game movie ever!]]"
** It gets even better if you [[AllThereInTheManual read the manual]]. Aside from Jordan Mechner's involvement, who do they get to help with the stunts? [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Belle David Belle]], the ''founder of parkour''. If that doesn't equal Epic Win, I don't know what does.
** The movie was released to middling reviews that place it pretty much in the SoOkayItsAverage territory. [[BrokenBase People are split over whether it's a perfectly decent summer action movie or whether it's a terrible confusing jaunt with an awful script.]] Sadly, this probably ''does'' make it the [[VideoGameMoviesSuck best video game movie ever made]] -- or, as some people hope, the best made ''so far''.
* When Games Workshop announced the much-awaited ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' movie, the fan reaction was generally like "Meh, [[SpotlightStealingSquad Ultramarines]] [[TheWesley again]]...", but then the people heard that {{DAN ABNETT}} is going to write the script -- and there was much rejoicing.
** Not to mention that the voice acting talent includes John Hert, Sean Pertwee and ''Terrance Stamp''. Woweee!!
*** Amusingly enough, this won't be Pertwee's [[FireWarrior first]] [[http://ultramarinesthemovie.com/ WH40K voiceover performance]].
*** The much of the fanbase was quite [[{{Understatement}} put down]] upon seeing the two early trailers featuring less than fantastic CGI and rather bland action. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vF_VLZotWc And then this happened...]]
* [[TheATeam A-Team]] movie? Meh. Imagined they'd get around to it sooner or later, they're doing all the other 80's TV shows, and like the rest of them it'll probably be [[CurseCutShort sh-]]''LiamNeeson [[http://www.themovieblog.com/2009/06/liam-neeson-as-hannibal-and-bradley-cooper-as-face-in-a-team-movie is Hannibal??]]'' I ''love'' it when an adaptation comes together! (On the other hand, no MrT.)
** On the OTHER other hand, [[{{District 9}} Sharlto Copley as Murdock]]. Sign me up, man.
** Let's not forget [[TheHangover Bradley Cooper]] as Face.
** Liam loves it when a plan comes together!
** For me, it was the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8W6_0UcQWA teaser trailer]] Bradly Cooper's voice just riles me up. And this just goes [[{{uptoeleven}} over the top]] with action. This film pretty much compiles everything vehicles shouldn't be doing, and does it all in the span in one film. Come on, a goddamn [[{{tankgoodness}} TANK.]]
* "They're doing a live action version of the anime cult classic ''SpeedRacer''? It's probably gonna be some generic "realistic" reimagining... wait, [[TheMatrix The]] [[VForVendetta Wachowskis]] are directing this?? And they've got an all-star cast, with John Goodman as Pops just to sweeten the deal?? This is gonna be awesome!!"[[hottip:*:[[SoCoolItsAwesome It was]]!]]
* From the start, it was blatantly obvious that the ''TheSorcerersApprentice '' movie would be InNameOnly. The trailer reveals [[spoiler: that brooms are still going to come alive!]]
* Richard Coyle is Moist Von Lipwig in Sky One's ''Going Postal''. HELL YES!!!
** Are you joking? For me, the ''Going Postal'' film was very, ''very'' much in [[SoBadItsGood So Bad It's Hysterically Awesome]] territory, mainly because of the wildly (and hilariously) inappropriate casting for just about every character. Pretty much the only decent ones were Claire Foy and Charles Dance (although I'm still trying to get my head around the idea of ''blonde'' Vetinari...)
* RobertRodriguez. ''{{Predators}}''. This may just make the [=AvP=] movies worth the trouble.
* After being in DevelopmentHell for nearly 20 years, BryanSinger being announced as the director of what became ''SupermanReturns'' was seen as one of the best omens any fan could hope for. And Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor was some nice icing on the cake.
* ''From Paris With Love'': Oh look, another film where JohnTravolta continues to ruin his career. Man he was so good in his early da...DID HE JUST HAND SOMEONE A [[PulpFiction ROYALE WITH CHEESE!?]]
* What? Hollywood's doing ''[[NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva]]'' [[LiveActionAdaptation Live-Action]] movie?! Oh good grie- Wait... ''[[LordOfTheRings WETA Workshop]]'s'' gonna be the studio? ''AND'' they're [[OneOfUs fans of the show]]?! '' '''AND''' '' they're going to go for actors who are ''actually'' Asian!? GOD'S IN HIS HEAVEN! AND ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD!!!
* They're remaking ''ConanTheBarbarian''? Yaaaawn. Wait, they cast [[StargateAtlantis Jason Momoa]] in the title role? Awesome!
** Just to sweeten the deal: for Conan's dad they cast ''fucking RonPerlman!!!''
** And the BigBad? ''[[{{Film/Avatar}} Stephen "Col. Quaritch" Lang.]]''
** This one is a bit of a BaseBreaker, considering ArnoldSchwarzenegger's newfound availability to play "King" Conan.
* The smartest thing the producers of the upcoming ''{{Avengers}}'' film have done, and probably ever will do, for the movie was to hire JossWhedon as co-writer and director.
** ''[[CaptainAmerica The First Avenger]]'' itself is now 92% more likely to be awesome because JossWhedon is writing the script. As if '''HUGO WEAVING''' as '''THE RED SKULL''' weren't cool enough already.
*** And TommyLeeJones is in the cast! (for Cap himself, considering Chris Evans was the best on those ''Film/FantasticFour'' films, no one complained)
*** Chris Evans as Steve Rogers has officially fallen into this trope with the [[http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/10/28/captain-america-chris-evans-2/ recent Entertainment Weekly article]] and, especially, [[http://ifanboy.com/content/articles/FIRST_LOOK__Captain_America_Photos_from_Entertainment_Weekly the photos inside]].
* Another remake of ''{{Godzilla}}''? This is going to su--It's being made by [[ThreeHundred Legendary]] [[TheDarkKnight Pictures]]!? AWESOME!!!!
** And being supervised by the director of Godzilla vs. Hedorah?
** Well, the monster is probably going to look la-[[http://www.movieviral.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gojira_page.jpg HOLY SHIT!]] [[AndTheFandomRejoiced And the fandom wept with joy....]]
* {{Frankenstein}}. Directed by Guillermo del Toro. With Doug Jones as the [[FrankensteinsMonster Creature]]. With creature design by Bernie Wrightson. ''HOLY FUCKING SHIT.''
** They're doing an adoptation of [[HPLovecraft At The Mountains of Madness]]? And Guillermo is writing and directing? He's assured it stays ''true'' to the story with no tacked on romance? And JamesCameron is producing?
** Disney's doing ''The Haunted Mansion'' ''again''? Didn't you learn your mistake last--GUILLERMO DEL TORO! Let's face it, he makes everything better.
** Hmm, let's see... ''Guillermo Del Toro!'' Your film is now [[MemeticMutation diamonds]]. It works!
* [[PixarRegulars Lee Unkrich]], you had all of us at '''[[ToyStory Toy Story 3]]'''.
** The threequel got yanked from Disney's direct-to-video departments? Yeee-hah!
** OK, so it's Toy Story 3; it's going to be good, but nothing's gotten me riled - wait, what's at 0:43 in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXqfS5l27ug this YouTube video]]...HOLY CRAP IT'S [[MyNeighborTotoro TOTORO]].
* This was the original reaction to a ''NightmareOnElmStreet'' remake: Hmmph, might as well not bother, it's just another generic 80's slasher remake, who cares... wait, '''[[Film/{{Watchmen}} Jackie Earl Haley]]''' is playing Freddy?! WHOO!!!
** Subverted by many Nightmare fans, however. Only Robert Englund can properly be Freddy.
* They're making a remake of ''TheKarateKid'' what the hell are they doing that f--JackieChan is in it?!
* Wait, an ''AtlasShrugged'' film adaption! Oh cool! Oh nevermind it's just some rich kid indie work, and Paul Johansson is John Galt? It just gets worse. But wait! They cast Ethan Cohn and are splitting it into two parts! There's hope!
* A GreenLantern movie starring [[WTHCastingAgency Ryan Reynolds]]? Riiiiight-- [[BadassCreed OH MY GOD.]] [[http://io9.com/5596819/ryan-reynolds-recites-the-lantern-corps-oath-for-the-littlest-green-lantern This]] is equal parts [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming adorable]]. Is the movie ''out yet?!''
* [[Film/{{Superman}} The last Superman movie]] wasn't great, so why is this one going to be any different? Because [[{{Chuck}} Chuck freakin' Bartoski]] could be the Man of Steel. That's why.
** A confirmed example: fans were undecisive about a film that as its predecessor, languished in DevelopmentHell, and at a certain point the studio decided to turn into a DarkerAndEdgier reboot. Then ZackSnyder was confirmed as the director...

* ''[[ScottPilgrim Scott Pilgrim vs. The World]]''. Michael Cera as the titular [[PlayingAgainstType Scott Pilgrim]], yawn. MaryElizabethWinstead playing Ramona Flowers, could be interesting. [[{{Spaced}} Edgar]] [[ShaunOfTheDead Fucking]] [[HotFuzz Wright]] directing the film, SCORE!
** Then the first image from the film was released, involving a [[IncendiaryExponent flaming]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] and a backflip. [[http://www.edgarwrighthere.com/media/ultraculture.html The internet's response]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtKAfoIllbo The first trailer has come. Epic Epicness!]]
** And the game of the movie. [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames Eh...]] I guess Beat 'Em Ups are fun. Maybe... Wait, Anamanaguchi is doing the music? And Paul Fucking Robertson is doing the sprites? Holy crap! Please welcome The New Ultimate Jesus [game]!
* The live-action adaptation of ''{{Where The Wild Things Are}}''. Hmmm, not really feeling it...wait, you said ''Spike Jonze'' is directing this? And Karen O of the YeahYeahYeahs is writing the score? ''And the teaser trailer uses a rare acoustic version of '''Arcade Fire's Wake Up?!?''''' Two tickets, please!
** Then there's the promo video in which the book's author Maurice Sendak gushes over how great the film is.
** For many, the [[AndTheFandomRejoiced Fandom Rejoice]] moment came when they saw the first trailer and saw, holy crap, real puppets instead of 100% CG.
* The ''WorldOfWarcraft'' movie will be directed by SamRaimi, of ''EvilDead, Film/{{Spider-Man}}'' and ''[[XenaWarriorPrincess Xena]]'' fame. ''HELL YES''.
** And they explicitly told UweBoll to go fuck himself when he expressed interest in it. ''DOUBLE HELL YES''.
* The ''[[Film/EdgeOfDarkness2010 Edge of Darkness]]'' film adaptation. For some it was Mel Gibson and Robert De Niro (later replaced by Ray Winstone). For some it was Martin Campbell, director of ''{{GoldenEye}}'', ''CasinoRoyale'' and the [[Series/EdgeOfDarkness original miniseries]].
* It's recently been confirmed by Fox that there will be another ''{{Alien}}'' film. "Ugh, you got to be kidding me, '''another''' ''Alien'' movie? It better not be another crappy ''[[AlienVersusPredator AVP]]'' movie... HOLY SHIT!! RidleyScott is directing! And it's a prequel! Redemption is at hand!"
** [[DivorcedInstallment Then came]] [[http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/01/14/alien-prequel-prometheus-ridley-scott/ this]]. The title of the article says everything.
* Okay, there's ''ThePrincessAndTheFrog'', with one group of people complaining that Disney's going to screw up and make it all racist and another group whining how Disney's caving in and making it too [[PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad politically correct]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcF4gzr_KJY Out comes the second trailer...]] Whoops, everyone's busy squealing with excitement now!
** And KeithDavid gets a ''VillainSong''?!
*** With Randy Newman doing both the score ''and'' the songs, who can't be excited to listen?
** At least some of the fandom rejoiced ''much'' earlier, simply because Disney announced this as their first hand-drawn film since 2004.
** And there was a lot of rejoicing when it was announced that Anika Noni Rose, who stole quite a lot of scenes in the film version of ''{{Dreamgirls}}'', was going to voice the titular princess.
* While we are talking about Disney, ''TheGreatMouseDetective'' is also a great example: "Oh... SherlockHolmes. [[RecycledInSpace Mice.]] [[SarcasmMode How original]]. Thanks for killing another classi... hey, is that VincentPrice? As the main villain? It ''must'' be awesome."
** ''{{Older Than They Think}}''. It was actually based on a series of children's books about mice who lived in the basement of Holmes' building; Basil hero-worshipped Holmes and decided to emulate him.
* When ''QuantumOfSolace'' showed that JamesBond went back to the iconic PPK, the fans went wild. The P99 was never really liked in the fan community at all.
** After the disastrous ''DieAnotherDay'' [[TaintedByThePreview they're rebooting the Bond films with]] [[ReplacementScrappy an actor everybody hates]]. Then they saw the movie, including had the book's "The bitch is dead" ending and suddenly fans were all "Pierce who?"
*** Brosnan was mostly a great Bond. Craig seems even better, though it still doesn't quite measure up to the Bourne series.
** It may be [[DevelopmentHell premature]], but {{Music/Muse}} wants to do the next Bond [[http://music.ign.com/articles/102/1025253p1.html theme]]. Yes, ''[[KnightsOfCydonia that]]'' {{Music/Muse}}.
** They were going to do the entire score for the ClashOfTheTitans remake, but after recording 40 minutes of material decided it was too intensive to continue.
* They're making a movie out of ''MammaMia''? Oh God, musicals have just hit a new lo- wait. Did you just say they cast ''MerylStreep'' as Donna? Fuck yes!
* Interest in a fourth ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' movie was fairly low until it was revealed it would be a new story ejecting pretty much everything apart from JohnnyDepp and Geoffrey Rush, whose awesome-cred had survived the [[BrokenBase third film intact]]. The departure of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley was mostly welcomed, but not as much as the news that movie would be based on TimPowers' book ''On Stranger Tides'' which had inspired both the first Pirates movie and also ''TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland'', which is often heralded as also inspiring the series. There is now much greater interest in the project.
** Ian [=McShane=] is Blackbeard. [[SexyBeast IAN MCSHANE]] is [[BadAss BLACKBEARD.]]
** ''Dead Man's Chest'' deserves a mention. At the end the crew is mourning Jack's death. However the voodoo lady promises that they can resue him if they were willing to meet [[SequelHook at world's end]]. She also mentioned them needing a captain. Enter Barbossa, the first film's BigBad, walking down the steps, [[TrademarkFavoriteFood chomping on an apple]], inquiring what's become of his ship.
* A ''DoctorStrange'' movie? [[AdaptationDecay Yeah, cause it worked SO well before...]] Guillermo del Toro you say? Well, I suppose it might be at least ''watchable'' - hold the phone, '''''NeilGaiman?''''' ... I think I wet myself.
* People were uneasy about the ''Film/PrinceOfPersia: The Sands of Time'' movie adaptation, [[VideoGameMoviesSuck admittedly with good reason]]. Details trickled out such as the casting of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince... Dastan, giving a name to the [[NoNameGiven previously nameless]] Prince. Then Jordan Mechner, the man behind the original game, was revealed to be involved ''very'' heavily with the project, and photos trickled out, [[EstrogenBrigadeBait mostly of shirtless-Gyllenhaal]]. No one seemed to be willing to commit to a strong opinion either way even after these revelations, though. It was the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgEt-4L3fKQ trailer]], which contained intense action sequences with LeParkour that was so emblematic of the Prince, as well as [[DeadpanSnarker his trademark snark]], that had people saying "holy crap, this might actually be the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative greatest video game movie ever!]]"
** It gets even better if you [[AllThereInTheManual read the manual]]. Aside from Jordan Mechner's involvement, who do they get to help with the stunts? [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Belle David Belle]], the ''founder of parkour''. If that doesn't equal Epic Win, I don't know what does.
** The movie was released to middling reviews that place it pretty much in the SoOkayItsAverage territory. [[BrokenBase People are split over whether it's a perfectly decent summer action movie or whether it's a terrible confusing jaunt with an awful script.]] Sadly, this probably ''does'' make it the [[VideoGameMoviesSuck best video game movie ever made]] -- or, as some people hope, the best made ''so far''.
* When Games Workshop announced the much-awaited ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' movie, the fan reaction was generally like "Meh, [[SpotlightStealingSquad Ultramarines]] [[TheWesley again]]...", but then the people heard that {{DAN ABNETT}} is going to write the script -- and there was much rejoicing.
** Not to mention that the voice acting talent includes John Hert, Sean Pertwee and ''Terrance Stamp''. Woweee!!
*** Amusingly enough, this won't be Pertwee's [[FireWarrior first]] [[http://ultramarinesthemovie.com/ WH40K voiceover performance]].
*** The much of the fanbase was quite [[{{Understatement}} put down]] upon seeing the two early trailers featuring less than fantastic CGI and rather bland action. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vF_VLZotWc And then this happened...]]
* [[TheATeam A-Team]] movie? Meh. Imagined they'd get around to it sooner or later, they're doing all the other 80's TV shows, and like the rest of them it'll probably be [[CurseCutShort sh-]]''LiamNeeson [[http://www.themovieblog.com/2009/06/liam-neeson-as-hannibal-and-bradley-cooper-as-face-in-a-team-movie is Hannibal??]]'' I ''love'' it when an adaptation comes together! (On the other hand, no MrT.)
** On the OTHER other hand, [[{{District 9}} Sharlto Copley as Murdock]]. Sign me up, man.
** Let's not forget [[TheHangover Bradley Cooper]] as Face.
** Liam loves it when a plan comes together!
** For me, it was the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8W6_0UcQWA teaser trailer]] Bradly Cooper's voice just riles me up. And this just goes [[{{uptoeleven}} over the top]] with action. This film pretty much compiles everything vehicles shouldn't be doing, and does it all in the span in one film. Come on, a goddamn [[{{tankgoodness}} TANK.]]
* "They're doing a live action version of the anime cult classic ''SpeedRacer''? It's probably gonna be some generic "realistic" reimagining... wait, [[TheMatrix The]] [[VForVendetta Wachowskis]] are directing this?? And they've got an all-star cast, with John Goodman as Pops just to sweeten the deal?? This is gonna be awesome!!"[[hottip:*:[[SoCoolItsAwesome It was]]!]]
* From the start, it was blatantly obvious that the ''TheSorcerersApprentice '' movie would be InNameOnly. The trailer reveals [[spoiler: that brooms are still going to come alive!]]
* Richard Coyle is Moist Von Lipwig in Sky One's ''Going Postal''. HELL YES!!!
** Are you joking? For me, the ''Going Postal'' film was very, ''very'' much in [[SoBadItsGood So Bad It's Hysterically Awesome]] territory, mainly because of the wildly (and hilariously) inappropriate casting for just about every character. Pretty much the only decent ones were Claire Foy and Charles Dance (although I'm still trying to get my head around the idea of ''blonde'' Vetinari...)
* RobertRodriguez. ''{{Predators}}''. This may just make the [=AvP=] movies worth the trouble.
* After being in DevelopmentHell for nearly 20 years, BryanSinger being announced as the director of what became ''SupermanReturns'' was seen as one of the best omens any fan could hope for. And Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor was some nice icing on the cake.
* ''From Paris With Love'': Oh look, another film where JohnTravolta continues to ruin his career. Man he was so good in his early da...DID HE JUST HAND SOMEONE A [[PulpFiction ROYALE WITH CHEESE!?]]
* What? Hollywood's doing ''[[NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva]]'' [[LiveActionAdaptation Live-Action]] movie?! Oh good grie- Wait... ''[[LordOfTheRings WETA Workshop]]'s'' gonna be the studio? ''AND'' they're [[OneOfUs fans of the show]]?! '' '''AND''' '' they're going to go for actors who are ''actually'' Asian!? GOD'S IN HIS HEAVEN! AND ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD!!!
* They're remaking ''ConanTheBarbarian''? Yaaaawn. Wait, they cast [[StargateAtlantis Jason Momoa]] in the title role? Awesome!
** Just to sweeten the deal: for Conan's dad they cast ''fucking RonPerlman!!!''
** And the BigBad? ''[[{{Film/Avatar}} Stephen "Col. Quaritch" Lang.]]''
** This one is a bit of a BaseBreaker, considering ArnoldSchwarzenegger's newfound availability to play "King" Conan.
* The smartest thing the producers of the upcoming ''{{Avengers}}'' film have done, and probably ever will do, for the movie was to hire JossWhedon as co-writer and director.
** ''[[CaptainAmerica The First Avenger]]'' itself is now 92% more likely to be awesome because JossWhedon is writing the script. As if '''HUGO WEAVING''' as '''THE RED SKULL''' weren't cool enough already.
*** And TommyLeeJones is in the cast! (for Cap himself, considering Chris Evans was the best on those ''Film/FantasticFour'' films, no one complained)
*** Chris Evans as Steve Rogers has officially fallen into this trope with the [[http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/10/28/captain-america-chris-evans-2/ recent Entertainment Weekly article]] and, especially, [[http://ifanboy.com/content/articles/FIRST_LOOK__Captain_America_Photos_from_Entertainment_Weekly the photos inside]].
* Another remake of ''{{Godzilla}}''? This is going to su--It's being made by [[ThreeHundred Legendary]] [[TheDarkKnight Pictures]]!? AWESOME!!!!
** And being supervised by the director of Godzilla vs. Hedorah?
** Well, the monster is probably going to look la-[[http://www.movieviral.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/gojira_page.jpg HOLY SHIT!]] [[AndTheFandomRejoiced And the fandom wept with joy....]]
* {{Frankenstein}}. Directed by Guillermo del Toro. With Doug Jones as the [[FrankensteinsMonster Creature]]. With creature design by Bernie Wrightson. ''HOLY FUCKING SHIT.''
** They're doing an adoptation of [[HPLovecraft At The Mountains of Madness]]? And Guillermo is writing and directing? He's assured it stays ''true'' to the story with no tacked on romance? And JamesCameron is producing?
** Disney's doing ''The Haunted Mansion'' ''again''? Didn't you learn your mistake last--GUILLERMO DEL TORO! Let's face it, he makes everything better.
** Hmm, let's see... ''Guillermo Del Toro!'' Your film is now [[MemeticMutation diamonds]]. It works!
* [[PixarRegulars Lee Unkrich]], you had all of us at '''[[ToyStory Toy Story 3]]'''.
** The threequel got yanked from Disney's direct-to-video departments? Yeee-hah!
** OK, so it's Toy Story 3; it's going to be good, but nothing's gotten me riled - wait, what's at 0:43 in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXqfS5l27ug this YouTube video]]...HOLY CRAP IT'S [[MyNeighborTotoro TOTORO]].
* This was the original reaction to a ''NightmareOnElmStreet'' remake: Hmmph, might as well not bother, it's just another generic 80's slasher remake, who cares... wait, '''[[Film/{{Watchmen}} Jackie Earl Haley]]''' is playing Freddy?! WHOO!!!
** Subverted by many Nightmare fans, however. Only Robert Englund can properly be Freddy.
* They're making a remake of ''TheKarateKid'' what the hell are they doing that f--JackieChan is in it?!
* Wait, an ''AtlasShrugged'' film adaption! Oh cool! Oh nevermind it's just some rich kid indie work, and Paul Johansson is John Galt? It just gets worse. But wait! They cast Ethan Cohn and are splitting it into two parts! There's hope!
* A GreenLantern movie starring [[WTHCastingAgency Ryan Reynolds]]? Riiiiight-- [[BadassCreed OH MY GOD.]] [[http://io9.com/5596819/ryan-reynolds-recites-the-lantern-corps-oath-for-the-littlest-green-lantern This]] is equal parts [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] and [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming adorable]]. Is the movie ''out yet?!''
* [[Film/{{Superman}} The last Superman movie]] wasn't great, so why is this one going to be any different? Because [[{{Chuck}} Chuck freakin' Bartoski]] could be the Man of Steel. That's why.
** A confirmed
[[ASirmed example: fans were undecisive about a film that as its predecessor, languished in DevelopmentHell, and at a certain point the studio decided to turn into a DarkerAndEdgier reboot. Then ZackSnyder was confirmed as the director...

** The studio tried to pull this off again with ''Revenge of the Fallen'', when they cast FrankWelker to reprise his role as Soundwave, whose super-processed, artificial-sounding voice was one of the most distinctive in the old cartoon. Then they left out all the processing in the finished film, leaving us with Welker's "[[InspectorGadget Dr. Claw]]" voice.
