This is a joke, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.180.209 (talk • contribs) 22:49, July 2, 2005

No, that is not a joke. It has been confirmed at the 2005 Showest convention by George Lucas himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.107.142.131 (talk • contribs) 20:46, April 30, 2006

My recent purging

The titles I deleted did not show up in the IMDb or Google. Also, many of the films seemed to be entirely made-up (The Sea of Water? The Yellow Color American?) If you can point to some evidence that a given film is in the works, then feel free to re-add it. —tregoweth (talk) 17:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Which films?

I was just wondering, on these lists of films for specific years, do they include direct to video releases or are they only films released in theaters? ONEder Boy 22:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

No, these lists would become even more unmanageable than they already are if we included direct-to-video and direct-to-tv releases. Such releases should ideally be placed in "xxxx in television" or "xxxx in home video" as appropriate. Rje 00:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Just wanna type in quick note. I have viewed the 2007 in movies page for some weeks, and as far as I know we only list American or British movies. Am I right? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 15:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Table

The table doesn't display correctly with March moving into the second column and one of the dates and the movies on that date are switched.

January 14 film

I think I clearly remember an ad for a movie to be released 1/14/08. All I saw was awoman reflected in a pair of monster or robot eyes. I would like more information please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.81.252.24 (talk) 21:16, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I tagged the article a lot.

I used the template fact because there are too many titles without link. At least make a redirect to the proof. That can be on the oringal movie, if it's a sequel, the article about the book, or video game if it's based on something, or the movie article it's remade of, if possible. Let me list all possible articles where you could find proof:

1. The video game/book/TV series or whatever the movie is supposed to be based on.
2. The original movie article if it's a sequel, it can also be found on the article regarding the movie series as whole.
3. The original movie article if it's a remade, like a sequel it can also be found on the movie series as whole. This also applies to midquels, prequels, etc.

If no sources will be added by the time this year is gone, these titles have to go. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:36, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Since I've kept up with future films, I've deleted what I know for sure are films that are not being produced. I have reason to believe that many more of these require deletion, too, especially with the writers' strike seriously inhibiting future projects, especially for 2008 and beyond. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:40, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Coming out dates

Are these dates for the USA? If they are what about other countries?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaia Octavia Agrippa (talk • contribs) 18:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Because it would be too much of a job to add release dates for Japan, United Kingdom, Autralia, etc. That's why we have the titles linkable. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Needed Citations are films listed under Box Office Mojo.

All of this is from Box Office Mojo. They're usually the most reliable of the movie schedules on the web.

What is a way to just source all of the contents of this under one site? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calcagno3 (talk • contribs) 06:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it was a bad idea to remove most of those movies, most of them where IMDB. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.91.213 (talk) 23:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

IMDb makes up release years for a project from the moment it's announced. When time passes, it will update the release year again. It's simply not verifiable to record because a lot of projects will linger in development hell. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Asterix and Obelix

What about the newest Asterix and Obelix. It's scheduled for January or sth like that. Or maybe that list is limited to Hollywood? :|

Find citations, and modify the page. ThuranX (talk) 12:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Fanboys

We know the movie is coming out this year. So I added it with the list of movies that don't have a release date yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.137.237 (talk) 16:21, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

There is absolutely no need to mention that here. We can see your edits in the edit history. Unless it's deniable informing it to the talk page is highly unnecessary. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 17:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Jees I was just letting people know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.137.237 (talk) 08:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that then. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 13:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Should Jackass Three be here or not?

I don't know whether or not it should be here, I don't know anything about that movie, but what I do know is that there is an argument about whether or not it should be in the lead. So let's discuss it, ok? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 12:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Defenitly, i'm the one who keeps putting it up. First of it does belong in the beginning of the page with the rest of the sequels, since it is a sequel to a very well-known series like the rest in that paragraph, second, The date of filming that it is to start. Evrey Jackass film starts in the begining of each year. Jackass: The Movie started in May, and was released the same year on October 25, 2002. Jackass Number Two started in the end of Feburary, and was released the same year in August, 2006. Steve-O hes stated that filming for Jackass 3 will start even earlier, in Janurary. They've already started the movie, and it will be released by the end of the summer, to the fall, but the fact that it is coming out in 2008, it should be keptOnepiece226 (talk) 18:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)Onepiece226

So, you're basing your edits to include on the pattern YOU see in the production, but not on citation? Sorry, it's out until you can cite it. Once there's a challenge to inclusion, the method isn't to edit war forever, it's to use the talk page and to find citation, or policy, to guide consensus. ThuranX (talk) 22:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah totally, I just made that entire statement up!....................NO cmon, they do stupid stunts, it dosen't need to be perfect, like scripted movies. The fact is that it is an unscheduled 2008 film...wait 2008? oh wait that this year. so it should be put up until something says that it's not coming out in 08'Onepiece226 (talk) 01:06, 4 February 2008 (UTC)Onepiece226

Unfortunately, we operate the other way around. We don't unverifiably proclaim for it to be released for 2008 until it's proven otherwise. In our heads, there is a "likelihood" of the release this year based on previous trends. However, trends can be broken, especially in the film industry, where there's a lot of variables that could interfere with an exact release. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
