Aaron Johnson is in the running for the lead role in the new Godzilla movie.

Savages is curious, in that it’s not the sort of film you might associate with the often solemn, politicised pictures of Oliver Stone.

Keira Knightley in a period film? NO WAY.

She should wear a furry hat all of the time.

YOU’RE NOT MATTHEW VAUGHN oh alright it’s fine

Yeah, yeah we’ve heard it all before, Miller

Take a deep breath and prepare yourself for an exhaustive year of EPIC action films. 2012 is the official year of explosive sequels, daring superheroes and hardcore fairy tales. Just make sure you have an oxygen tank nearby.

At least we can almost guarantee she’ll wear a lovely dress.
