What it is exactly that will keep movie fans’ attention throughout the long summer months is anyone’s guess. All we can say is that Hollywood is planning to show us all the movies that we have been waiting for:
Toy Story 3, 3-D (June 18, 2010)
Toy Story 3 Official Trailer: Andy’s toys face new trials when they’re dumped in a daycare centre. According to the New York Times, Toy Story 3 is “such a good film. It has the laughs, magic and best of all the entertainment”…”that this is one of the best trilogies of all time. Number 1 is The Lord of the Rings”.
Twilight 3 Eclipse (June 30, 2010)

Barely 7 months later comes this next installment that sees Bella choosing between her love for Edward and friendship for Jacob. Again! He also decides whether or not to become a vampire. Again! The only curiosity is that it’s directed by the not-at-all sappy David Slade (30 Days Of Night, Hard Candy).
Jonah Hex (June 18, 2010) Megan Fox fans get ready!
Jonah Hex Official Trailer: Jonah Hex (Megan Fox), a scarred bounty hunter in the Wild West, first appeared in DC comics back in the 70s and a movie version has been talked about for just as long. The U.S. military makes a scarred bounty hunter with warrants on his own head an offer he cannot refuse: in exchange for his freedom, he must stop a terrorist who is ready to unleash Hell on Earth.
Karate Kid (June 11, 2010)
Karate Kid Official Trailer: A single mother moves to China with her young son, where he embraces karate, taught to him by a master of the martial art. The new Karate Kid is a lot younger (11 years old vs. 23 years old). This’ll be a chance for Jackie Chan to show another side of himself on screen.
The A-Team (June 11, 2010)
