July Blockbuster Movies - Summer 2010

Summer Blockbusters 2010 – July Releases

The Last Airbender
Cast: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Dev Patel and Jackson Rathbone
Expected Release Date: July 2nd, 2010
Plot: Directed by M. Night Shyamalan, this film is adapted from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The first of a planned trilogy, it revolves around a 12-year-old boy capable of controlling the four elements. Along with a few friends, he must save his planet from the ruthless Firebenders and restore balance to the nations of Air, Earth, Water and Fire. Hopefully, we won’t find out that the kid’s actually a ghost.

Predators
Cast: Unknown at this time. Robert Rodriguez will produce.
Expected Release Date: July 7th, 2010
Plot: A direct sequel to the original Predator film, this one will concern a group of Earth soldiers stranded on the Predator homeworld and fighting for their lives.

Despicable Me
Cast: (voices) Steve Carell, Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier and Elsie Fisher
Expected Release Date: July 9th, 2010
Plot: A computer animated film with Steve Carell providing the voice of a supervillain who wants to steal the moon. His plans may be disrupted, however, by three orphan girls who look at him as potential father material.

Inception
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Cillian Murphy, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page and Michael Caine
Expected Release Date: July 16th, 2010
Plot: It’s reported to be a “contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.” The budget is reported at $200 million, so I hope they get a bit more specific in the coming months. I also hope they get a better marketing campaign, as the first Inception trailer sucked.

Little Fockers
Cast: Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo
Expected Release Date: July 30th, 2010
Plot: The cast of the previous two Focker movies return, this time comically dealing with themes such as divorce and death. Sounds pretty bleak, but I’m certain Stiller and company will find a way to make it work. After all, we’re talking about the guy who made runway modeling seem humorous.
