10. 300: Rise Of An Empire | Starring Eva Green, Sullivan Stapleton | Release date: March 7,2014
The sequel the highly quoted and badass movie 300, this sequel will focus mostly on Themistocles(Sullivan Stapleton) and Artemisia I of Caria(Eva Green), as well as Xerxes I of Persia(Rodrigo Santoro) (Sorry I had to copy that, I'm too lazy to type out the whole thing). The fate of an empire rest upon Artemisia's shoulders as she had to lead a navy of Spartans against Persian forces and Greek city state forces at a battle at sea. The movie will also explain how Xerxes became a "god king". I hope this highly anticipated sequel will have as many memorable action scenes and quotable lines as the first one.

4. Noah | Starring Russell Crowe, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins | Release date: March 28,2014

This movie will portray Noah (Rusell Crowe) as having guilt as being a survivor and being a more complex then biblical Noah. Noah, receiving visions from god, decides to build a ark to save him and his family. Featuring ALOT of CGI animals and a king and also a 900 year old Anthony Hopkins, this biblical epic does actually looks pretty damn epic.

Featuring an ensemble cast, this film as dubbed as "the next Argo". This movie looks like it's full of thrills, action-wise and political-wise. A potential best picture winner? Maybe.
