    So what does this all mean? Movie moguls traditionally base their decision-making on what’s been big the previous year, then fuse the best elements into what they hope will be bankable mash-ups. So in 2012, expect to see Ryan Gosling halt the
    apocalypse with his top off, an X-rated AA bromance involving Pete Mullan, fraught monkey pregnancies, aliens who attempt to take control by possessing anything Bakelite, sick Kiwis, endless nappy rash and a blanket ban on Jessica Chastain.
