[edit] 2011, 2012, and 2013

Is it really necessary to include the sections about 2011, 2012, and 2013? I mean, there's no sources, no listings on any of the movie databases, there's really no proof that any of them are even "in talks".ONEder Boy 22:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

High School Musical 4 needs a citation.JFP93 10:03, 17 July 2007

Well there are movies comeing out in 2013 like Shrek 5 and a New godzilla movie. So i think it necessary to add it.

[edit] Metal Gear Solid is not comeing out in 2009!

In a recent interview with IGN.com, Hideo Kojima confirmed that the movie will be released in 2008. So stop adding.

[edit] Continuous Remodeling of 2009 in Film

If you have noticed, the 2009 section now actually looks, well, professional. Very organized for any future expansion.

And please, don't just put whatever in this place. Actually research. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.1.212.31 (talk) 08:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I've deleted a large portion of false listings for unscheduled 2009/2010 releases -- the large majority of these projects were not in production, and they are never guaranteed to be. Anything can happen between a film's announcement and when it could start production -- years or decades, even. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I added Citizen Siege to the 2009 section. Please make it work properly and let it stay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.233.247.10 (talk) 22:52, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

What happen to Superman: Man of Steel and Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins on the 2009 list? --71.178.250.89 (talk) 01:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Simpsons 2

Back in 2004, when people just began talking about The Simpsons Movie, I read somewhere that the cast and crew of The Simpsons have to make at least two movies before their contract expires. The day on which I went to see the first was a horrible, horrible day, but that doesn't mean it has to be that way with the sequel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gmeric13@aol.com (talk • contribs) 04:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Superhero Hush-Hush

Does anybody remember in the movie "I Am Legend" when the Batman/Superman Crossover logo was displayed on a movie poster? It was scheduled as a 2009 release... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jedi Master Fort (talk • contribs) 19:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

The poster in the film was just an Easter egg because two writers involved with I Am Legend had worked on a script for that project. See the MTV article for more. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cars 2

One day I was trying to plan a release date for my rewrite when I Googled release dates of various movies to see if April 15, 2011 was a good bet. I came across a page that announced that a sequel to Cars had been announced. Although it says its source was "very reliable," it does not say which source it was, and cites a now-retired star of the original (Paul Newman). So I can understand why Cars 2 was deleted from the "Unannounced 2011 releases" banner.

By the way, I am so far ahead in my script that I am slating the movie for a May 7, 2010 release, as it is about summer and the movie summer season is defined as the first Friday in May through Labor Day weekend. User:Gmeric13@aol.com —Preceding comment was added at 18:34, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New criteria

This article needs specific criteria to warrant inclusion of new projects. First of all, editors need to be informed that the Internet Movie Database always, always estimates a release year for a project in development, even when there is very little leeway. You will never see a "TBA" at any of IMDb's web pages about projects in development. When a project does not make progress, the estimated release year is simply updated. Thus, we cannot look at the web page for a project on IMDb and acceptably use its release year to list a film in this article.

Another issue is the fact that studios will sometimes put forth a release year or even a specific release date for a film that has not begun production. Per the notability guidelines for future films, there should not be articles for films that have not begun shooting. This is because due to the onslaught of possible factors that can disrupt development, such as scripting issues, budgeting issues, casting issues, etc. Thus, per the process for handling future films, projects should be covered at their source material's article, the film series article, or the proposing person's article. I suppose it's acceptable to have an anchored wiki-link, but I think a note needs to be include that a project has not yet begun production. Other input is welcome. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Revision

The article has undergone a massive revision today. Many items that were prophesied in the main calendar were films not actually in production, but merely targeted release dates of projects in development. This is an important differentiation to make because per the notability guidelines for future films, stand-alone articles on films are created when shooting begins. Thus, this article reflects the same threshold, separating films in actual production from those in development. There is no guarantee with a film will be made, even if the studio announces a targeted release date. The production status of a film can be quickly checked at its IMDb page -- if it says Filming, Post-production, or Completed, then it qualifies as being truly in production. Otherwise, projects have a high likelihood of making it. However, due to the coverage that many projects get, the "Announcements" section is appropriate for wiki-linking to a section about the project's development on the source material's article (as a film article shouldn't yet exist). If there are any questions or suggestions, feel free to share. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:06, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2009 in film

Perhaps it is time to move this article back to 2009 in film, and have all the future films beyond 2009 moved to the new near future in film. Seeing as how there is movies getting announced and pushed back to 2009, I think now is a good time to make way for these movies, and move the future (2010, 2011 etc.) films to the new article.--EclipseSSD (talk) 19:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure about that, considering that there's not too many 2010 or 2011 films in place. When did 2008 in film get created as separate from this article? —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, it's just a possible suggestion which I thought would be appropriate. Maybe, maybe not. As to when 2008 got seperated from this article (or if it ever was part of this article), I have no idea.--EclipseSSD (talk) 16:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I looked into it, and 2008 in film was created about 3 years ago (3 February 2005) by SD6-Agent. Taking that into account, I assume it was never part of Near Future in Film. The article just sort of grew by itself. I think it is a good idea to move to 2009 in film. However we can leave those films in place then, by adding a section called Beyond 2009 and listing the future films there.--EclipseSSD (talk) 21:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I guess we can do that, but we should try to determine some kind of criteria as to when it's OK to move content from Near future in film to 20XX in film. What kind of threshold should we set up? Also, if we make 2009 in film stand-alone, I would suggest keeping all the announced films here. I think it's misleading to say that these announced films are definitely part of 2009's release slate. We can mention at 2009 in film, "For projects that have been announced by studios but have not yet begun filming, see the near future in film." Thoughts? —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I like that idea, yes, so as to have it part of the 2009 article for the time being while mentioning that it's not guarenteed to be part of the 2009 slot. Perhaps as more and more films get announced over the whole year, that would be the time to start planning the articles for the 2011, 2012, etc. films.--EclipseSSD (talk) 12:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
My suggestion: Wait until this article exceeds 32 kb (the reccommended limit) and put the 2009 films in it's own article. Then just keep 2010 and beyond in the "Near future in film" article. -AMK152(Talk • Contributions • Send message) 02:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
As it is now May, I think we should move the 2009s to their own article and leave NFIF for 2010+ --WTRiker (talk) 02:52, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Why was Rendezvous with Rama remove of the list? It had a score to the actice and Fitcher said he will work on the movie after The Curious Case of Benjamin Button comes out. --71.178.250.89 (talk) 20:47, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
It's not in production though. He says he will, so file it under "Announcements" (with a source of course). Alientraveller (talk) 20:50, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2010 in film

I just want to point out that the 2010 in film page doesn't redirect to Near future in film. Can someone help make it so? The page is protected! —Preceding unsigned comment added by DJ critikaL (talk • contribs) 03:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to point out the problem in the table. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xenon623 (talk • contribs) 04:43, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Split

I think it's the right time to move 2009 in film to its own article, and the rest of the films to Near future in film. Seeing as how there are movies getting announced and release dates set to 2009, I think now is a good time to make way for these movies, and move the future (2010, 2011 etc.) films to the new article, that way, we can have a good article on 2009 films, and the rest can just be part of Near future in film.--EclipseSSD (talk) 16:51, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

You're proposing a split, not a move. You can either do that manually or tag the article with {{split-apart}}, or a similar template. JPG-GR (talk) 19:59, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Cheers for that. Thanks, --EclipseSSD (talk) 12:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
