Superhero motifs are prominent in this summer's crop of films, from adaptations such as The Fantastic Four and Batman Begins to the Star Wars finale; meanwhile Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are hired assassins in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, children will dig Madagascar, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants appeals to the teenage girl market
Subject(s):
FeatureDirected by: Louis Leterrier and Corey Yuen
Written by: Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen
What it's about: In truth, who knows? There's been little info provided on this sequel to the 2002 "hit." But let's offer a guess: Frank Martin (Statham) drives around in his sweet ride, picking up trouble wherever he goes. How's that. Oh, and this one is set in the United States. So, see, it's completely different from the original.
Why it'll be fabulous: Because we always loved those BMW "The Driver" minifilms upon which this burgeoning franchise was clearly based.
Why it'll be dreadful: The first Transporter was released direct to Betamax.
The Woods
Starring:
Agnes Bruckner, Patricia Clarkson, Bruce Campbell, and Lauren BirkellDirected by: Lucky McKee
Written by: David Ross
What it's about: A troubled girl (Bruckner) is sent to boarding school after pushing her parents too far. But the school, located deep in the middle of the woods of New England, is not what it appears to be, and there are dark forces at work with more than a passing interest in the newcomer. Or are they all in her head?
Why it'll be fabulous: McKee has already made one good movie about a troubled girl who hears voices (May). This one has a bigger budget plus Oscar-nominee Clarkson and fan-favorite Campbell.
Why it'll be dreadful: Will the male-skewed horror audience turn out for a movie with a mostly female cast and no nudity?
