Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: David Fincher’s The Social Network

Fincher has made us afraid of the dark (Zodiac), afraid of growing old (Button) and now, perhaps afraid of becoming filthy rich. Should be interesting to see how Fincher visually and tonally treats a drama about how "fake" online friendships lead to the demise of real friendships.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Julian Schnabel’s Miral

I'm very curious in seeing how poeticized and politicized this picture will turn out to be. I think the filmmaker really found his grove with Diving Bell, and he certainly has a knack for capturing real people with a void for sentimentality. Expectations are also high on the visual treatment of this biography.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Lynne Ramsay’s We Need to Talk About Kevin

Besides the fact that its been almost a decade since we last visited with the filmmaker (Morvern Caller has had time to grow on me), I'm drawn to the intimate nature in which Ramsay chooses to explore both the prelude and the aftermath of death – plus you get the feeling that Swinton will be stellar in this one.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Olivier Assayas’s Carlos the Jackal

No one from Hollywood has managed to get the elusive Carlos jus right, I think might get him right. I'm glad this is going to Assayas -- whose picture-perfect and poignant Summer Hours has officially converted me into a fan of his once again.

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: John Cameron Mitchell’s Rabbit Hole

After exploring how sexuality and gender converge in Hedwig... and Shortbus, this will be a notable departure for l'enfant terrible not only in theme and budget size, but it'll be a first for Cameron Mitchell as he is working from the contours of someone else's screenplay.
