Fox Searchlight Sets 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' to Open Late June

Briefly: Word from the internets, rather from the updates of @boxofficemojo (found via SlashFilm), is that Fox Searchlight has just set a late June 29th release date for the release of Benh Zeitlin's Beasts of the Southern Wild, the highly praised, award winning, universally loved Sundance sensation. The film stars lovable newcomer Quvenzhané Wallis as Hushpuppy, a six year-old girl striving to survive with her dad in the "the Bathtub," a community at the southern edge of Louisiana. I loved it (my Sundance review) and it won the Grand Jury prize. I don't think this is the best date to let this wonderful film explode, since it is a hard sell, but we can only hope they're getting ready to go all out with it. They've got my full support for it!

James Mangold's 'The Wolverine' Now Set for Late July 2013 Opening

By Alex Billington

Briefly: 20th Century Fox has apparently set a release date for The Wolverine, the back-to-life Wolverine spin-off, with James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma, Knight and Day) now set to direct. It will hit theaters July 26th, 2013, same weekend as the Dirty Dancing remake, and a week after Joseph Kosinski's Horizons. The update comes from Box Office Mojo (via SlashFilm) and means that Fox is moving forward with this, finally getting things set to start up this summer with Mangold at the helm, since its been a bit off after Darren Aronofsky left. Hugh Jackman is set to star in the story about Logan's adventures in Japan.

'The Grey' May Come Back to Theaters in October for an Oscar Run

By Alex Billington

While it's a bit odd to be talking about a re-release nine months away days before the movie is even released in theaters to begin with, I don't mind, because this is exactly what I wanted to hear. Joe Carnahan's The Grey arrives in theaters this weekend, and it's easily one of the best films of the first half of this year, I've seen it twice and it's fantastic. More importantly, not only does the script deserve plenty of acclaim, but so does Liam Neeson, who gives an phenomenal performance. It's being theoretically "dumped" in January, even though I think it could be a huge breakout hit, but Carnahan says they might re-release it in October.

New Poster for McTeigue's 'The Raven' with Updated Released Date

By Alex Billington

The only one who can stop a serial killer is the one who inspired him. Relativity has officially unveiled a new poster on EW.com for James McTeigue's The Raven, starring John Cusack as the poet Edgar Allen Poe, who, as the tagline says, helps to solve a series of murders inspired by his own stories. The release of the film was also recently pushed from early March to late April 27th, which I have to say isn't a good sign, but I'm still curious to see this. The poster features a bold red-winged design, which is quite appealing, but I don't like the other faces blended into the background. View the latest trailer here and see the poster below.

Fincher's 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' Hits a Day Early, Tuesday Night

By Alex Billington

She's coming. Its been officially announced (via Deadline) by Sony/Columbia Pictures that David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will now be opening in theaters a day early, starting December 20th instead of the original release of December 21st. These are essentially early midnight showings of the dark, R-rated film, as they'll start showing Dragon Tattoo at 7PM nationwide on the Tuesday evening of the 20th, an exact week from today. It's a very crowded time for movies this holiday, and this might give them a slight advantage, at least with anyone very anxious to see this (and I highly suggest it). Feel bad this holiday.

'The Evil Dead' Remake Gets an Official Early April 2013 Release Date

By Alex Billington

"Shut up, Linda!" Whether you want it or not, the remake of Sam Raimi's original 1981 horror classic Evil Dead is being put into production by Ghost House & Mandate Pictures and Sony & Film District, and it now has an official release date. Bloody-Disgusting reports it is now set for April 12th, 2013. So just before the summer of Star Trek 2, Iron Man 3, Fast 6, Monsters U. and Man of Steel, we'll get our new look at Diablo Cody and director Fede Alvarez's new take on Evil Dead (the logo above), without even an Ash character this time. Instead it's just a story about five friends holed up at a remote cabin who uncover a Book of the Dead.

Crowe's 'We Bought a Zoo' Getting Sneak Previews One Month Early

By Alex Billington

Wow this a bold move. Deadline is confirming that Fox has scheduled sneak previews in over 800 theaters next weekend for Cameron Crowe's We Bought a Zoo, his new family film adaptation of Benjamin Mee's memoir. The sneaks will take place on Saturday, November 26th on Thanksgiving weekend, one month before We Bought a Zoo regularly hits theaters on December 23rd. Fox must be very confident that they have a wonderful movie on their hands, and even Crowe is behind it. "I'm really excited about these sneaks. Holding previews so far ahead of our opening is a bold move – but that's one of the many reasons I like it."

Gavin Hood's 'Ender's Game' Adaptation Set for March 2013 Release

By Alex Billington

Holy crap, it's really happening! As long as we make it to 2013. That Ender's Game movie now has an official release date - March 15th, 2013. Just like The Avengers, this is one movie I thought we'd never see, but it's coming. Summit Entertainment, who is developing this, has set a number of 2012/2013 release dates (more below) and among them is Ender's Game, which now has that early March 2013 date. I'm always unsure about March movies, but I've been hearing some amazing things and have a feeling this could turn out great. Gavin Hood is directing, but still no casting info yet. A few more dates from Summit below.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt's 'Premium Rush' Pushed Back to Summer 2012

By Alex Billington

Briefly: A release update that might interest a few of you. Sony/Columbia has rescheduled David Koepp's Premium Rush, the bike messenger "action movie" starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt (trailer), to a late summer August 24th, 2012 release instead of the originally planned January 13. I always felt that was an odd spot, especially after seeing the trailer, it fits better in the summer. It just sucks that we have to wait another 8 months, I really wanted to see this! Also stars Michael Shannon, Jamie Chung, Dania Ramirez and Aasif Mandvi, written and directed by David Koepp. As of this moment, nothing else is set for the 24th.

Johnny Depp & 'The Lone Ranger' Coming But Not Until May 31, 2013

By Ethan Anderton

Though surprising news came back in August that Disney had halted production on their big budget adaptation of The Lone Ranger starring Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as the titular hero and Johnny Depp as his sidekick Tonto, it sounded like the project might actually get back on track with a lower budget that included new deals for Johnny Depp, director Gore Verbinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer. That deal was made official earlier this week, but now the production delay means the film won't meet its original December 2012 release date, and will instead hit May 31st, 2013, for the summer.

Bruce Willis Plans 'A Good Day to Die Hard' for Valentine's Day 2013

By Ethan Anderton

Back in July we learned that director John Moore (Max Payne) would step up to direct Die Hard 5, and the story might take John McClane and his son to Russia for the action. Now we not only have confirmation on that news, but a release date and an official title for the next installment in the long-running action franchise starring Bruce Willis. An official press release today revealed that A Good Day to Die Hard will hit theaters on February 14th, 2013, making a perfect date movie for all those sweethearts out there. The film will find McClane trying to save his son somewhere in Russia where "nothing is what it seems."

Steve McQueen's 'Shame' with Fassbender Opening on December 2nd

By Alex Billington

Michael Fassbender in Steve McQueen's Shame

Briefly: Good news - Fox Searchlight has scheduled a limited release of Steve McQueen's controversial, but sensational, film Shame, starring Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, on December 2nd this fall - right smack in the middle of the awards season. The news comes from a @FoxSearchlight tweet stating that "we're releasing Steve McQueen's SHAME in the US on December 2nd, 2011!" No word on the rating, as it's expected to receive NC-17 or go unrated, but who knows. I saw the film in Telluride and loved it, and I think Fassbender has a strong chance for an Oscar nom. We'll keep you updated on cities and release plans.
