THE BUZZ: Could it be that Robert Zemeckis has finally found source material that perfectly suits his creepy mo-cap fantasies? Initially we were unsure, but ever since Comic-Con we've been behind this movie way more so than our affection for Monster House and Beowulf combined. However, this does not mean we're behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit 2 ...

Studio: Universal Pictures

THE BUZZ: Mystery and potential government conspiracies await Jovovich on her visit to Palin-ville. This thriller was scooped up by Universal during the summer when post-production on The Wolf Man pushed that film's release date to 2010. Before Paranormal Activity mania struck, I thought this movie was a goner -- another round of bad luck for Milla (and Universal) who saw her critically well-received thriller A Perfect Getaway fade away like a hazy summer memory. Now, it just might connect with audiences who are craving caught-on-tape horrors.

Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire (2009) -- Trailer for this very sad drama about a girl trying to find happiness

THE BUZZ: Mo'Nique is going to win the Best Supporting Actress for her role in this terrifying realistic drama from Lee Daniels. (Or maybe she won't?) A pivotal scene between Mo' and star Gabby Sidibe literally made crowds gasp at Sundance earlier this year, and it is sure to illicit similar reactions from general audiences this winter. What Daniels has done here is rather remarkable: His take on the hardships faced by the titular character is only semi-sentimental, and it implies that a person's conviction is the one thing that remains when their circumstances are remarkably bleak. Amazingly, his story is also funny. This is, quite simply, a great film. And if you need your mood lightened while watching it, squint just a bit and Mariah Carey's mustache really comes into focus.

THE BUZZ: Director Kelly's totally in his element here (and playing it much safer than his last movie) with this Twilight Zone-inspired thriller. Expect dark, supernatural elements, requisite non sequiturs, Hitchcocky plot twists and an indier-than-thou soundtrack (replete with Mellotron and tambourines). But, what's with the studio bumping this -- from March to November, back to October, etc. -- when it was supposedly a done deal and what's with all those Cameron Diaz ascots?

The Men Who Stare at Goats

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Director: Grant Heslov
Stars: Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, Kevin Spacey (Full Cast)
Studio: Overture Films

The Plot: In Iraq, reporter Bob Wilton (McGregor) meets Lyn Cassady (Clooney), whose seemingly wild claim - that he's a member of the U.S. Army's First Earth Battalion, a unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions - causes Wilton to join Cassady's hunt for the battalion's founder, whose gone missing.

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) -- Movieplayer.it - Trailer (Flash)

THE BUZZ: I like it when Clooney has a full-fledged character to play and isn't just in leading-man mode, and Kurt Wimmer's book is too against-the-grain for any established studio to be interested in the adaptation, which is being handled by Clooney's producing partner, Grant Heslov (his second picture as director). Enter Overture Films, who's gunning for awards-season recognition with this project as well as Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story. Meanwhile, over at Sony, Clooney and Heslov will develop more mainstream fare after severing their decade-old relationship with Warner Bros. back in June.

This Is It

The Plot: A compilation of interviews, rehearsals and backstage footage of Michael Jackson as he prepared for his series of sold-out shows in London.

This Is It (2009) -- As the much anticipated Michael Jackson movie THIS IS IT hits theatres, Hollywood 411 has an exclusive sneak peek at a clip. Check out what Elizabeth Taylor calls the greatest piece of filmmaking.

THE BUZZ: For the millions of MJ fans who bought tickets to his sold-out series of 50 comeback concerts before he died last June, this is definitely not it. But, it's the best the promoters could do to recover some of its losses and offer grieving fans a glimpse of what might have been. Sony and the Jackson family have apparently pulled out all the stops to make sure this lives up to the Gloved One's glittery standards -- featuring rare rehearsal and behind-the-scenes footage (shot in HD!), state-of-the-art digital sound and 3-D sequences intended for use in the live concerts -- building up to what will most likely be a spectacular celebration of the late entertainer's talents, but also a bittersweet reminder of them as well.

Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity

Director: Oren Peli
Stars: Katie Featherston, Micah Sloat, Michael Bayouth (Full Cast)
Studio: Paramount Pictures

The Plot: While settling into her new home, Katie (Featherston) is disturbed in her sleep by a mysterious presence. Her husband, Micah (Sloat), tries to ease her fear by installing video cameras in an attempt to capture the strange behavior on tape. Bad idea.

THE BUZZ: The found-footage story idea has served writer-director Oren Peli well, since Paranormal Activity has been buzzing for almost two years now. Paramount scooped up U.S. rights and scrapped the original idea to remake the movie for general audiences. No wonder the online scene has embraced the minimalist horror-thriller (it's a zero-budget affair shot with a barebones crew) and the studio subsequently will focus their marketing efforts to genre sites, Facebook, etc.; in fact, check out the movie's unique "Demand It" feature -- essentially a contest for screenings to occur in your area. Elsewhere, according to reviews, unlike recent horror bomb Sorority Row, this movie features a protagonist (Katie Featherston) you actually care about!

THE BUZZ: Working chronologically backwards, notions of Jigsaw, Hannibal Lecter, and Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey come to mind for what shaping up to be one of the year's most guilty pleasures; "to not crave it is to not crave cheesesteaks," as one descriptive insider put it.

Couples Retreat (2009) -- A group of friends get a group rate at a retreat to help couples reconnect in this comedy trailer

THE BUZZ: Whether Retreat's mainstream-cool cast was handpicked by former swingers Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau or assembled by Universal's business-development execs, the crossover factor is off the PowerPoint charts here. Though the Industry has been riding the studio hard for its series of flops and underperformers (Public Enemies is the closet thing to a hit in a losing streak which includes Land of the Lost, Funny People, Brüno, and, most recently, The Invention of Lying), it would take a miscue of maximum incompetence for this date movie to tank.

Where the Wild Things Are (2009) -- Young, mischievous Max is sent to bed without his supper, but when his bedroom turns in to a magical jungle landscape filled with strange creatures, he embarks on a wild imaginary adventure.

THE BUZZ: We've been waiting for the wild rumpus to start on this one since forever ... well, technically, since the fall of 2008. And by now the story of Warner Bros. worrying whether children would stream out of theaters in tears at Spike Jonze's vision of Maurice Sendak's ten-sentence classic is new Hollywood folklore. We still wonder, however, if this is more a film for young people or their parents who came of age in the 1960s/70s. (Cue Arcade Fire and then: "Daddy, why are you crying?") This article is more than a year old, but it encapsulates the saga and includes footage of an early version of the film directed by a now-well-known animator.

THE BUZZ: There seems to be a good amount of renewed interest in the serial since Lionsgate accidentally (?) spread a rumor of Cary Elwes's return to the fold. And yes, reports indicate he and his one foot will look to exact a gruesome revenge. (Either that, or he'll become the newest apprentice?) Congratulations to Kevin Greutert, who, like Darren Lynn Bousman before him, ascends to the director's chair from a former position on the crew (Greutert's been the official Saw editor since the first picture.)

Stars: Freddie Highmore, Nicolas Cage, Kristen Bell (Full Cast)
Studio: Summit Entertainment

Unable to fulfill the grieving man's expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.

THE BUZZ: I really like the look of this film, and the notion that its creators are looking to please fans of Osamu Tezuka's comic series and young kids alike. Rumors of financial troubles proved true, and I appreciated the level of honesty from Summit Entertainment, which confirmed production company Imagi's money woes as they shipped out images (seen above) verifying that everything was back on track. I'm also excited for director David Bowers, the Aardman Animations vet who got to trade the flat universe of Flushed Away for this version of sci-fi cool.

THE BUZZ: It's not that I am complaining about this remake, sight unseen; it's just ... I feel like it could be retooled for maximum entertainment value. My suggestions: swap out Dylan Walsh for Christopher Meloni as the titular character; undo the gender switch and put Amber Heard front and center; let Penn Badgley wonder quietly in the background why his girlfriend keeps breaking up with him as her life falls apart. (And maybe the producers could have obtained Badgley at a time when he didn't need to wax his chest for "Gossip Girl?") Fold in a Terry O'Quinn cameo (done!) and I'm there opening weekend. Last thing: If this thrill-ride is a hit, what other 80's thriller will Screen Gems look to remake? They successfully refashioned Basic Instinct into Obsessed, after all ...

THE BUZZ: The idea of vampires, werewolves, and a bearded Selma Hayek sounds like a publicity cakewalk to me, but there has to be more than one reason this long-completed adaptation of the novel by Darren Shan (the first in a series of twelve) took a while to earn a release date, finally settling on an appropriate Halloween release after a potentially (un)dead-on-arrival January berth. If the costs were kept low here and the marketing is smart and effective, Universal might have a cult franchise on its hands. Sorta like Hellboy without the attendant hype factor.

THE BUZZ: This should be called The Aviatrix. That kills me. If I remember correctly, this was the first project Hilary Swank revved up after her divorce was finalized, and it's the type of vehicle which should steer her to a third Best Actress Oscar nomination, even if the film itself doesn't have much momentum.
