Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Miranda July’s The Future
Her breakout debut film touched all the rights cords -- July is a great storyteller and visual artist and we've been waiting a long time since her Cannes-winning debut. I already like the storyline.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method
As a filmmaker I'm sure he's borrowed from both Freud and Jung, so if I was a betting man, I'd say that we won't be receiving your mainstream biopic here.

Exactly one vote behind the Number 1 spot on the 2007 BlackList, Clooney who we like best in political satires/dramas/thrillers has assembled an incredible ensemble cast here -- top players that will make the behind the scenes banter helluva fun time - think Wag the Dog with more factual bits.
