Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) will be appearing yet again in the new 2010 year. Eclipse, part of the famous Twilight series, is expected to have just as much success in the box office as the previous two releases. Starting where “New Moon” left off, Bella is forced to choose between the love she instills for Edward or the friendship she has made with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). Along with this conflict, the fight between vampires and werewolves still lives. Bella and Edward are forced to worry about Victoria, the vampire seeking revenge for her beloved James.

Based on the well-known children’s story, “Alice in Wonderland,” directed by the famous Tim Burton, features a select and experienced cast. Johnny Depp plays the Mad Hatter while actor Mia Wasikowska has the leading role as Alice. “Alice in Wonderland” is a story about nineteen-year old girl, Alice, who happens to return to the magical world from her childhood.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: part 1
Release date: Nov. 19
Directed by: David Yates
Starring: Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) and Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort)

Being the last of the novels, these two movies will end the box office craze involving Harry Potter. Even though the novel is being separated into two movies, the first part is expected to be released in 2010. The movie takes off after Dumbledore’s death. Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) now has power over the entire Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts. This leaves it up to Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) to finish Dumbledore’s work and find the last of the Horcruxes to defeat the Dark Lord.
