Last Harry Potter film gets release date

The final Harry Potter film, Sherlock Holmes, Jonas Hex, Christopher Nolan’s Inception and more have their release dates confirmed…

On the off chance that you’ve bought your diary for 2010 and 2011 already, ComingSoon is reporting that Warner Bros has started marking down dates in the calendar for the release of some of its upcoming tentpole pictures.

The biggie in its schedule is the last film in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part II. This has been earmarked for a July 15th 2011 debut, which puts it around eight months after the release of Part I. That could, it’s been noted, put it against the long-awaited Avengers movie.

Elsewhere on the schedule, Sherlock Holmes has moved back to Christmas Day, which should give Guy Ritchie an extra couple of weeks to get those reshoots done. Meanwhile, The Green Lantern, as directed by Martin Campbell, will be out on December 17th 2010, while Josh Brolin’s take on Jonah Hex will be coming to cinema screens on August 6th of next year. That’s quite a late summer slot, and Warner Bros must have decided it needs a bit of space to sell the film.

The studio seems more confident with Clash Of The Titans, helmed by The Incredible Hulk director Louis Letterier. That’s down for March 26, 2010, and Warner Bros – following 300 and more-than-likely Watchmen – will be looking for another pre-blockbuster season hit with that.

Finally, there’s the film we’re really excited about, Christopher Nolan’s Inception. The science fiction movie is coming out slap bang in the middle of high blockbuster season next year, with a July 16th 2010 release date.

These are all US release dates, it should be noted, although it’s more than likely that the worldwide rollouts won’t be far apart.

Star Trek Invades WonderCon
It's truly rare that I'm so blown away by a movie that I'm left breathless. It happens once or twice a year, like with The Dark Knight last year and Watchmen this year (so far). But today, watching the new trailer for J.J. Abams' Star Trek, shown for the first time exclusively at WonderCon in San Francisco, I was truly blown away. Before I get any further, everyone will be able to see this trailer in front of Watchmen next weekend, and online the following Monday, so don't worry, it won't be that long of wait. But wow, just wow, although I love both Transformers and Terminator, Star Trek is easily my most anticipated movie of the summer.

I'm not going to speak extensively about what was shown in the trailer, because most of you will get to see it in its entirety in under a week anyway, but the music seemed like it was from the score for Batman Begins (although I doubt it was the same) and it was phenomenal - that was what really put me over the edge. There is no better word that I can use to describe the trailer than: breathtaking. Sure, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was definitely mine, and my heart raced as I watched it continue to build up over two minutes. This is a trailer you do not want to miss, even if you have to go to theaters to see it.

Be sure you see the trailer in front of Watchmen next weekend at here...
