Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Paddy Considine’s Tyrannosaur
I'm really looking forward to this film namely because of the actor who is directing it, the director of photography who lensed it and the actor who has center stage. In my books, Paddy Considine is an under-appreciated actor and I think his best work when in front of the camera are the shady, darker areas of the human condition and I think his curriculum as a filmmaker will certainly swerve towards these portraits. Dp Erik Wilson did some great lensing with Submarine and I imagine is where he might with Considine and then you have Peter Mullan - I can't say enough about him since I took first notice in Danny Boyle's first two films.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Bennett Miller’s Moneyball
They've got a pretty good director in Bennett Miller and I'm liking the casting (Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jonah Hill) they did for the film and though I think I might have preferred Soderbergh's version of the film, I'm still a fan of the Lewis novel and look forward in seeing how a sports dramedy might pan out.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Bela Tarr’s The Turin Horse

Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Juan Solanas’ Upside Down
You can say that filmmaking is in his blood, and while I haven't seen Juan Diego Solanas' debut film, I had the chance to finally catch up with his short film The Man Without a Head. If the look of the film is full-proof eye-candy, which I have no doubt will be stirring and the chemistry between Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess works, this might break out of the mold of underwhelming sci-fi romance films.
Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Duplass Bros.’ Jeff Who Lives at Home
Specialists of a comedy that is both affecting and discomforting, in 2011, the Duplass Bros.' should be a double bearing of fruit type year as they have The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, which appears closer to their indie/mumblecore no-budget beginnings and they must now be past the post-production phase with this project which features name talent and has a studio backing the project and will likely draw comparisons to their excellent foray into "bigger" budgets with Cyrus.
