Will Smith, Charlize Theron & Jason Bateman
The original Hancock trio are reteaming for a sequel to last year's summer blockbuster. Plot details are scarce, but the film will see Will Smith and Charlize Theron's godlike duo reteaming to fight a new threat. Jason Bateman will no doubt stand around being wry and charming.
Liv Tyler, Rainn Wilson & Ellen Page
Rainn Wilson is putting the Super in superhero. The Office star teams up with former Juno costar Ellen Page and Liv Tyler in the comedy designed to send up the comic (in the other sense of the word) genre. Wilson plays an average joe who pretends to be a superhero (minus the superpowers) when his wife takes up with a drug dealer.
Ethan Hawke
Thar he blows. Ethan Hawke has signed on to star as Starbuck (think literary sidekick, not espresso purveyor) in a TV adaptation of Herman Melville's classic Moby Dick. Playing the mad Captain Ahab will be William Hurt, with the production expected to be completed in fall 2010. With those actors and that budget (nearly $26 million) it's also no doubt expected to sink its hooks into an Emmy or two along the way.

With time-tested warhorses like these, who needs new ideas? Following his successful return to the big screen last year, Sylvester Stallone's fifth installment of Rambo has been greenlighted and will begin production next spring. Break out the bandannas.
Daniel Craig
The erstwhile Bond will no doubt be shaken and stirred when he stars as a publishing exec who winds up moving his family into a home that was once the scene of a vicious murder in the psychological thriller Dream House.
Elizabeth Banks & Russell Crowe
The W. actress and State of Play star get steamy in Paul Haggis' upcoming drama, The Next Seven Days. But will they spark?
Catherine Hardwicke
The original Twilight helmer is swapping vampires for werewolves, signing on to direct a gothic retelling of the classic fairy tale, The Girl With the Red Riding Hood. And fear not, fanggirls—there's gonna be a love triangle, too. Just not necessarily involving anyone who sparkles.
Eva Longoria Parker
The Desperate Housewives actress is tackling her first Spanish-language role, starring in the Mexican movie Day of Grace.
Robert Zemeckis
The Beatles' Yellow Submarine could be getting a visual upgrade as the director hopes to use 3-D motion-capture technology for a redo.
Jon Hamm
The Mad Men star's a gambling man after landing a role playing a character called the High Roller in Zack Snyder's upcoming action-fantasy, Sucker Punch. Vanessa Hudgens and Emily Browning are set to costar.

James McAvoy
The sexy Scottish actor will team with Seth Rogen in the comedy I'm With Cancer.
Connor Cruise

Mark-Paul Gosselaar
We're pretty sure he'll be raising the bar (see what we did there?) for off-Broadway when he stars alongside Justin Kirk in The Understudy this fall.
