Wait a minute, I hear you say- 2011 has barely started, and I’m already looking ahead to next year? Well, yes, as frankly while there are tons of major releases you should keep your eye on in the next eleven months (see, not that long to go till 2012!), the year of the London Olympics definitely has plenty of promising films and games to keep things interesting. But let’s start with the aforementioned sports event- that will be BIG, even by current standards of the Olympics, so we can all expect the British media to go into an absolute frenzy there. The opening ceremony, every single event, the closing ceremony, you name it and chances are you’ll find something on telly about the London Olympics before, during and long after they begin. Meanwhile, films are once again in full force next year, and as ever a lot of them are sequels: Wrath of the Titans (Clash 2); Men In Black 3; Star Trek 2; The Bourne Legacy; Bond 23 and the final Twilight (cue a loud sigh of relief from every guy in the world) are all set to be released throughout the year. Superhero films also seem to reign dominant once again in 2012, with Spider-Man; Superman; Ghost Rider; Batman; Iron Man; Thor; Captain America and the Hulk making returns to the big screen either separately or as part of the massive Avengers team-up released in Summer. Animation will play its part, too in the form of Monsters Inc. 2, Ice Age 4 and Madagascar 3 (sure to be box-office hits regardless of their quality), and even Star Wars will get a re-release with The Phantom Menace heading up an annual 3-D treatment for the saga until 2017. Finally there are the games, and although next year doesn’t yet look as jam packed as the one we’re currently experiencing, bear in mind that seemed exactly the situation for this year in January 2010. All the same, we’ve got BioShock Infinite; Metal Gear Solid Rising; Transformers War For Cybertron 2; the various superhero games sure to arrive with the films and probably new Halo, Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed sequels to keep us busy, and if anything the next Xbox and PlayStation consoles are likely to be revealed at E3, so still big times!

2012 In Entertainment
