Emile Hirsch
The young actor will star in Oliver Stone's upcoming flick, Savages. Hirsch's role isn't set yet but he will have some blockbuster costars.

Salma Hayek will play the Mexican cartel queen. John Travolta pops in as a burned-out DEA agent and Uma Thurman will also make an appearance as Lively's mom.
Jesse Eisenberg & Ellen Page
Jesse Eisenberg has made a name for himself playing neurotic characters, and now he's joining the master. Along with Page, the two are set to team up with famed director Woody Allen. The flick's plot is still under wraps, but we're guessing it will involve awkward yet romantic trial and error, most of which could probably be avoided if the characters would just deal with their issues. But where's the fun in that?
James Franco & Winona Ryder
Who's ready for more James Franco? Good, because we're getting more of the Oscar nominee. He'll star alongside Ryder in The Stare, a drama about a playwrite who finds herself overcome with paranoia as she prepares a new production, though she can't make out whether it's a manipulative plot against her or if she's losing her mind. Franco stars as one of her performers.
Tom Hanks

Sean Hayes
The Will & Grace funnyman will be putting his comedic skills to good use as Larry in the Farrelly Brothers' upcoming remake of The Three Stooges. How could Moe have a problem with that?

Dwayne Johnson
The Rock is taking it to the streets in Snitch, the story of a father (Johnson) who goes undercover to catch a drug dealer after his own son is sentenced to 30 years in prison for drug-related crimes.
Bill Murray
The veteran actor has some big shoes to fill—FDR's shoes, to be exact—in a film adaptation of the radio play Hyde Park on Hudson. Plotwise, we'll see the president have an affair with his cousin while the British royal family is visiting him stateside. Interesting.
Samuel L. Jackson
Here's hoping Jackson's role in The Samaritan will be a step in the right direction for the talented actor. The flick follows a grifter (Jackson) who wants to start a new life for himself after serving 20 years in prison but, naturally, things don't go quite as he had planned.
Ian McShane

Now that he's finally made it off that mysterious island, the actor is able to concentrate on taking to the big screen. This time he's teaming up with costar Tyler Perry for I, Alex Cross, a rebooting of author James Patterson's series, to play an assassin who kills for both a paycheck and for the, um, rush. Sounds like a character you want to avoid in a dark alley.
Liam Neeson
There aren't a whole lot of sequels these days that have us eager with anticipation—except for Taken 2.The actor's takedown of the Paris underworld to free his kidnapped daughter (Maggie Grace) was epic, and it'll be interesting to see what other international butt-kicking this actor has up his sleeves.
