Hey hey heeeey folks, Harry here. The party has started early here in the AICN world. We had some Intra-Gender Wrestling going on at one of the AICNers abodes tonight, but that did not halt or hamper the mighty ELSTON GUNN from getting this report in, or me doing, what I think is a halfway decent job of HTML-ing that list on up. I hope. I’ll be using this list as the starting point on the BIG LIST OF UPCOMING PROJECTS we’re searching for info on! Once again... great job Elston!
As far as movies go, I've really enjoyed 1999. As far as movie news goes, I'm rather excited about the couple of years ahead of us. Since there wasn't really any Hollywood news this week (save for Jodie Foster choosing to direct FLORA PLUM as opposed to starring in HANNIBAL,) I've compiled a list of titles I culled from newsbits from the trades since Jan. 1999. These are titles of films you might see next year, or you just might see more news on them next year, or you may not see anything new at all. I've excluded the movies that have already been released. The first batch inlcude titles of projects most of which I assume are in limbo, we heard about them once or quite a few times and I don't know the state they are currently in. The second group are sequels and the last batch (it's oh so long, folks) are the best of the rest--these projects we'll hear more of next year. Take your time, rack your brain, get excited, ask questions in TALK BACK, have fun...

There you have it folks. I thought the list would never end. There are a few that I can't wait to read more about next year and there are some I hope I don't have to read about. Then there are some where I'm neutral, but I hope to be surprised. So, thanks for the kind words this year, thanks for the emails and TALK BACKS. Let's hope 2000 will be as generous to us. I have nothing prophetic to say. Be kind. Go to the movies.
Happy New Year!
Goodbye 1900's. Thanks for everything.
