With the recent news that a MacGyver movie is in the works, Hollywood continues to play the nostalgia card when churning out new films.  So what other movies are in your future that will instantly take you back to a time filled with action figures and no internet?  These:

G.I. Joe

Fanboys wet their pants a little when the G.I. Joe live action movie was announced, and the rest of us followed suit after seeing this Super Bowl commercial:

Release date: August 7, 2009.

The A-Team

This show about a group of US Army Special Forces who are on the run launched Mr. T into pop culture infamy and featured a legendary intro theme.  There’s been a lot of internet speculation about who will fill the cast, but right now all that is known is that Joe Carnahan will direct.  Release date:  June 11, 2010.

Voltron

In 2005 it was announced that TV/movie producer Mark Gordon was going to lead development of the live action Voltron movie, with music producer Pharell Williams scoring it.  Since then a script has been written, a director selected, but not much else.  Release date:  Cross your fingers if you hope to see this by 2010.

Thundercats

Warner Bros. is behind this project and has chosen to go the CGI-route (like the latest TMNT movie) rather than live action.  That didn’t stop a fan from making a Thundercats trailer that features Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, and Vin Diesel in leading roles.

Tentative release date:  Sometime in 2010.
