The Evil Dead
Normally, we don't get too excited for yet another horror remake, but the trailer freaked us out. We dig that whenever possible, the filmmakers went for practical special effects instead of computer generated ones.

Oblivion
Joseph Kosinski, director of Tron Legacy goes on adventure with Tom Cruise. We've seen post-apocalyptic-everything lately but here's hoping the story branches out as Cruise meets Morgan Freeman, a hot Bond girl (Olga Kurylenko) and ventures to the ominously named Forbidden Zone.

Iron Man 3
With a new director—Shane Black who worked with Robert Downey Jr. in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang—at the helm of Marvel's armor-suited franchise, a fiendish new baddie: The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) we don't know what to expect. For a third film that's refreshing.

Star Trek Into the Darkness
Is Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan or what? He's officially named John Harrison but we're betting J.J. Abrams' sequel will boldly go someplace with more lens flares and a serious focus on vengeance. Also, if this isn't a Khan tale, why does Alice Eve have serious Carol Marcus hair?

Hangover Part III

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones
Clary's (Lily Collins) life is changed once she discovers she's part of a long line of demon-slayers. Not quite Buffy though. More like a huge-sprawling world that's just getting started. Also starring Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

Ender's Game
For geeks, Orson Scott Card's novel finally coming to the big screen is as big as Game of Thrones' arrival to television was. Young Ender Wiggin (Hugo's Asa Butterfield) is shy, but extremely talented at war games. Of course. Harrison Ford no doubt has some old tricks to teach the noob. Also starring Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis and Abigail Breslin.
