A sequel heavy summer?

With the sun poking through the beautifully blue sky this afternoon I thought I'd give give you sneak peek into some of the movies that will be hitting our gigantic cinema held screens this summer.


Set to sail this summer is Pirates of the Caribbean 4:On Stranger Tides starring heart-throb Johnny Depp as the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow. Once again the swashbuckling Disney series is planning on enchanting its audience. 


You will be pleased to see the wonders of Captain Jack and the bad man that is Blackbeard. Beautiful Spanish-favourite Penelope Cruz also joins the cast as Blackbeard’s daughter, and for those who are determined to miss the intricate complexities of Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley’s romance, there’s a new blossoming romance that will include a mysterious mermaid.


The film is said to capture the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise— but this time in Disney Digital 3D. Take a quick look at Disneys newest plee for us to join the pirates on a voyage to find the fabled fountain of youth:



Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 - the finale of the blockbuster film franchise draws to a close this July. The magical adventures of our favourite witches and wizards will conclude in this final spell of duals, dragons, deaths and the uplifting enchantments of 3 young friends.

Part 2 sees Harry, Hermione and Ron facing their biggest challenge ever as they go head-to-head with the dark lord Voldemort and his death-eating followers.

Will they fight or fall? Will we see a happy ending for our favourite wizard? Here's a sneaky peek at what's coming up for the finale to end all finales this July.



The only Hangover guaranteed to be welcomed this summer is the sequel to the lads stag; Hangover 2. The original film was a pleasant surprise that helped bolster Warner Bros' summer takings back in 2008, raking in over $200m in the US alone. The first was a sleeper hit, but this sequel is imperative to the studio's line-up for summer 2011.
All of the key players are returning in front of the camera, and Todd Phillips is back on directing duties too. And even appreciating that comedy sequels rarely capture the fun of the original - expectations will be high for The Hangover 2.

Yes- the wolfpack is back but this time they set to create havoc in Bangkok for Stu's wedding and I for one will be taking my seat for this non-misser. 

Just take a look at this preview:



Transformers 3 will be morphing onto our screens this summer. In this epic adventure the Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the Moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and learn its secrets, which could turn the tide in the Transformers' final battle.

But this love to love robot movie is ousting one of its best cast members. The foxy leading lady (who may have decided to call it quits with the franchise) wont be appearing in this sequel! Transformers 3 and no Megan Fox? How is that going to work!?



And-after some confusion when it had been suggested that the Cars sequel was being knocked back six months, it turned out that wasn't the case at all, and that Pixar's second consecutive sequel is revving up on the grid for June 2011.
It's an interesting one, this. Cars is generally regarded, with some justification, as Pixar's weakest film. Yet, in terms of the amount of toy sales it generates, with revenues heading into the billions, a sequel became inevitable. This time, Lightning McQueen is heading off to race around the world, with Mater in tow.

The third of DreamWorks' animated hits to be franchised, following in the footsteps of Shrek and MadagascarKung Fu Panda 2 has Jack Black returning to voice Po, with Angelina Jolie and Dustin Hoffman also on voicing duties. If it hits, expect Kung Fu Panda 3 to follow in the summer of 2014...

Sequels a-plenty this summer!
