14 Upcoming Movies That Might Be Surprisingly Awesome

Why It Should Suck: This is yet another reboot that's pretending to be a sequel, and from the first trailer released, it looks like a cheap rehash of the 1990 original with way, way too much CGI.

Why It Might Be Awesome: It's being directed by Niels Arden Oplev, who helmed the original Swedish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but most crucially, it's been written by Ben Ripley, who scripted the excellent 2011 sci-fi thriller Source Code.

Also, Ellen Page and Diego Luna are among the cast, and the fact that Kiefer Sutherland's reprising his role from the original movie at least provides some hope that the film has a few clever twists and links to what came before.
