Mama (2013)
Annabel and Lucas are faced with the challenge of raising his young nieces that were left alone in the forest for 5 years.... but how alone were they?
Director:Andrés Muschietti |
-
The Buzz: Looks like Guillermo del Toro is in proud-papa mode as he mentors filmmaker Andres Muschietti, who here adapts his short into what could be one of the most effective spins on the admittedly tired haunted-kid horror story. And we totally love Jessica Chastain's Dragon Tattoo makeover.

The Last Stand (2013)
The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff and his inexperienced staff.
Director:Jee-woon Kim |

-
The Buzz: This thriller, which has earned comparisons to High Noon (seriously), was almost made with Liam Neeson back when Taken made him to the go-to man for action-movie pitches. If the screenplay is as good as its Black List-status, and if I Saw the Devil director Kim Jee-Woon finds a balance between characterization and style, Sheriff Ray Owens might become another iconic Arnold Schwarzenegger hero.

Broken City (2013)
In a city rife with injustice, ex-cop Billy Taggart seeks redemption and revenge after being double-crossed and then framed by its most powerful figure: Mayor Nicholas Hostetler.
Director:Allen Hughes |
The Buzz: From Menace II Society through The Book of Eli, Allen and Albert Hughes always worked in tandem as directors and producers, but Allen has gone solo for this presumably hard-boiled genre film written by Brian Tucker, who has no produced screenplays to his credit but has two projects in development -- a remake of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Basic Instinct soundalike called The Arrangement. Looking at Mark Wahlberg's upcoming movies, this one almost gets lost in the shuffle; for Russell Crowe, it's a pivotal role between a potential Oscar nomination for Les Misérables and his take on the character Jor-El in the Superman reboot Man of Steel.

LUV (2012) - [Limited]
An 11-year-old boy gets a crash course in what it means to be a man when he spends a day with the ex-convict uncle he idolizes.
Director:Sheldon Candis |
The Buzz: Common is more of a brand than an actor or rapper these days, but we have heard good things about his co-star, Michael Rainey Jr., in his debut role. Rainey Jr. will next appear as the younger version of Forest Whitaker's title character in The Butler.

Outside Satan (2011) - [NYC]- Drama
In a village on the French Opal Coast, a drifter engages in a perplexing relationship with a young woman who has suffered abuse.
Director:Bruno Dumont |
The Buzz: Director Bruno Dumont (Hadewijch/Twentynine Palms/Humanité) specializes in quasi-faith allegories, spontaneous acts of violence, long shots, stillness, and other interminable acts of outsider filmmaking. Longtime producer Rachid Bouchareb is at Dumont's side for his latest; given Bouchareb's increased cache and Satan's wildly mixed reviews, consider the bait laid for the art-house sect.
