Oh Avatar, Avatar, what will you do to me oh Avatar? Virtually unknown outside of the Cameron hub, this is hugely exciting. There’s so many factors swinging this project one way then the other. I mean Cameron hasn’t directed a film for 12 years and that film went on to become the biggest film ever made. Then you look at his CV and realise he hasn’t made a bad film…yet! Even those which are less revered are watchable to the nth number of times.

Sam Worthington is the virtual unknown, though by the time Terminator: Salvation is released we’ll have a better idea of his abilities. Then Sigourney Weaver. Dearest Sigourney.

This one is about as mouthwatering as Wonka’s factory and as tantalising as a lolly to a baby.

It’s my number one anticipate film of the year.
