Missing the subject pronoun and contraction; *as* alone is not a complete spoken form.
T'as hâté de voir quel film ?
Using *hâte* as an adjective (*hâté*) is incorrect; the correct structure is *avoir hâte de + infinitif*.
T'as hâte de voir quel films ?
When the noun is plural, the interrogative adjective must agree: *quels films*.

Cultural Tip
The contraction *t'as* is typical of everyday spoken French, especially among younger speakers. In a formal context you should use the full form *tu as* or even *vous avez* for politeness. Also, *avoir hâte* is a noun phrase, not an adjective, so you never say *hâté* to mean ‘eager’. Finally, French speakers often add a small pause after *hâte* (t'as hâte | de voir…) which helps the sentence flow naturally.
