Sadly,
I see no upcoming movie I'm excited about. I noticed the previews at the King Kong showing were not to my taste. And looking ahead, nothing coming up either.
Perhaps good characters and solid special effects are a thing of the past. I hope not.
I'd love to see a modern version of The Flying Tigers. It has deep political themes, romance and of course some great dogfighting. Seems a no brainer, albeit very expensive to film.
Also a updated version of Doc Savage. This could be a nice franchise for a good group of action actors. With some great guest villains, it could shine. Perhaps a period piece in the WWII era might be fun.
The Da Vinci Code is a little lacking in action, imo. I'd rather see them start with Brown's first novel in the series, Angels & Demons. That one had be laughing out loud in a few spots, and plenty of action.
