WELCOME TO 2009: The movies and merchandise to look out for this year!
Happy new year one and all! 2009 promises to be a big, brash beast of a year, with some of the most anticipated films and gear around in ages. 2009 is going to be a big year for many geeks, as not only do we have the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to look forward to, but there’s also the very promising Terminator: Salvation and the hugely anticipated WATCHMEN adaptation on the way too.
Oh yeah, and there’s that little STAR TREK film too…
Doctor Who will be back for another four special episodes in 2009, before David Tennant gives up the TARDIS keys to the 11th Doctor for series 5 in 2010. There’s the remake of FRIDAY THE 13TH too, introducing a whole new generation to the origins of Jason Voorhees. Car fans get the awesome Fast and Furious, the fourth film in the extreme racing series of blockbusters. The third film in the UNDERWORLD series will be taking a bite out of cinemas too, and fans are hopeful that RISE OF THE LYCANS will be as good as the trailer promises.
Classic toy fans will hopefully get the thrill ride they’re hoping for this summer with the release of the first live-action GI JOE movie. Classic horror fans won’t be disappointed though, as there’s the WOLFMAN remake starring Benicio Del Toro, and the first film to be based on Clive Barker’s infamous short story collections, namely BOOK OF BLOOD.
There’s some fantastic new merchandise on the way too, with action figures, collectibles, statues and more from the WATCHMEN movie due in this month, as well as brand new figures in the GEARS OF WAR range coming soon too. The GEARS OF WAR range is going to grow with some fantastic figures from the huge sequel to the hit game, and they look superb thus far!
Also on the horizon there’s merchandise from the aforementioned Transformers sequel, the fun old-school Monster Scene Kits, and a brand new range of Torchwood figures, just in time for the third series of the SF hit to arrive. There are a huge number of other ranges to be released in 2009, so make sure you bookmark Starstoreblog or subscribe via RSS for the latest updates!
