Chernobyl Diaries ( May 25 )
The latest Oren Peli repugnance film is n’t , strictly verbalize , “ bump footage ” — although it still has a very DIY feel to it .

Except that they get trap there , and peradventure it ’s not quite as derelict as they ’d reckon … because something is hunting them .

On the negative side , they apparently had no book during some of the production , and it was kind of a jam . But it could still be fun .
June
Piranha 3DD ( June 1 )
This was presuppose to come out last summer , was n’t it ? This sequel to Piranha 3D has the jokiest title of any movie this year , which also explains succinctly the main reason why anybody will want to see this teras fish larger-than-life . You ca n’t blame a flick for knowing its hearing .
Snow White and the Huntsman ( June 1 )
The second base of the class ’s Snow White moving picture could actually benefit from the failure of Mirror Mirror . This one feature a more “ badass ” Snow White , play by Twilight ’s Kristen Stewart ( yes , I know ) . And the Huntsman ( Chris Hemsworth ) teaches Snow White the art of warfare , so she and her dwarf can overturn the Queen ( Charlize Theron ) . Dwarves include Nick Frost and Bob Hoskins , which is automatic profits .

Even in a summer with The Avengers and The Dark Knight rise , this might be the most hotly awaited film for science fiction sports fan . Sir Ridley Scott returns to skill fiction , and to the world of 1979 ’s Alien , for a horrifying , unsettling unexampled escapade . Every framing that we ’ve learn from this movie thus far look like it could be your pet fresh graphics , and it also looks like it fetch a massive new aspiration to expanding the universe we glimpsed in Alien .
Safety Not secure ( June 8)
It ’s that kinky indie comedy about three magazine employee who go to interview a cat who placed a classified ad look for someone to go back in prison term with him . “ I have only done this once before , ” the ad warn . Based on an genuine paper advertizing that caused an internet sense experience back in 2005 . The trailer looks pretty great and cagy , in that “ quirky indie ” way .
The Woman in the Fifth ( June 15 )
Ethan Hawke stars in the version of a novel about a writer and professor who goes to live in Paris , then falls on intemperate time and gets ensnared in some muddied occupation . It ’s fundamentally your standard “ Ethan Hawke goes to Paris ” movie that we ’ve all seen before — except that it also turns into a freaky ghost story , at least judging from the novel .
Extraterrestrial ( June 15 )
Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo is back , with another unearthly little science fiction movie . Sadly , it ’s not the one he was planning to make about the guy cable who establish a ramp to jump his car onto a UFO .

Brave ( June 22 )
Pixar hopefully returns to form after Cars 2 , with the narrative of Merida , a princess who defies an age - old impost and unleash chaos on the kingdom . Everything we ’ve seen thus far on this cinema looks all gorgeous , including some beautiful dead reckoning of the Scottish countryside . Seeing Pixar tackle fairytales , and a distaff lead character , should be ultra - rewarding . Plus Kevin McKidd voice Lord MacGuffin and his Word , the Young MacGuffin .
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World ( June 22 )
It ’s Melancholia , only it ’s a fun amatory comedy . Steve Carrel stars as a guy who connects with a unseasoned fair sex ( Keira Knightley ) and searches for his childhood sweetheart , before an asteroid demolish the world . The prevue is pretty screaming , especially the spot where Patton Oswalt excuse that the close at hand day of reckoning of the planet means that adult female will sleep with him without worrying about disease — or even whether you ’re related to them .
G.I. Joe : Retaliation ( June 28 )
So yeah , nobody was peculiarly impressed with the first G.I. Joe . But the good news is , this time around it ’s direct by Jon M. Chu , who created the mad terpsichore - superhero webseries The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers . Plus it looks like this film picks up right where the first one left off , with the evil Zartan impersonating the U.S. President — and a movie about an evil President of the United States is always welcome .
July
The Amazing Spider - Man ( July 3 )
A simple five years after Sam Raimi ’s Spider - Man trilogy concluded , Spidey ’s being rebooted — but at least the new director Marc Webb ( ( 500 ) day of Summer ) seems likely to bring a very different feel than Raimi . And non - constitutional vane - shooters and non - CG swinging seem like an improvement . Plus a more quippy Peter Parker . The trailers we ’ve seen so far look surprisingly cool . And yet , do we need a fresh Spidey origin ? Especially one which focalize so much on the mystery of Peter Parker ’s parent ? We ’ll see .
Ted ( July 13 )

Red Lights ( July 13 )
It ’s jolly much your stock “ extrasensory researcher butt on head with a piece who claim to be a psychical ” movie — except that the paranormal investigators are Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy . And the psychic is played by Robert De Niro . Sadly , wecalled it“this year ’s prominent Sundance disappointment . ” seemingly it ’s De Niro ’s “ Not the bee ” movie .

The Dark Knight Rises ( July 20 )
The third picture show in Chris Nolan ’s Batman trilogy , this one have Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Tom Hardy as Bane . By the look of thing , we ’ll be seeing an old , less assured Batman , and a Gotham that ’s gotten complacent after eight year of peace after the death of Harvey Dent . We ’ve already see a football game subject field implode , and it sounds like that ’s just the beginning of the insanity .
Ruby Sparks ( July 25 )
A young writer struggles with writer ’ block , until he starts inventing his ideal cleaning lady so he can write about her … until one day , she appears in the bod in his apartment , apparently call into being by the force of his imagination . From the manager of Little Miss Sunshine , this cinema looks passably captivating . ( Thanks to nekowrites for the admonisher ! )
Neighborhood Watch ( July 27 )
A zany drollery in which Ben Stiller , Jonah Hill and Vince Vaughn are suburban dads who join a region watch group to get some excitement — only to find themselves the only line of defense against an exotic invasion . More importantly , though , the film feature The IT Crowd ’s Richard Ayoade in a major role . And it ’s apparently essay for a Ghostbusters vibe . fingerbreadth baffle !
August
Total Recall ( August 3 )
Colin Farrell stars in this quasi - remake of the 1990 Schwarzenegger classic , in which the Heron never goes to Mars . By all accounts , Len Wiseman ( Live Free or Die severely ) is trying to get cheeseparing to the Philip K. Dick source material , and turn over more into the outlandishness of not knowing who you really are . At the very least , let ’s hope there ’s some well natural process succession in a cool - looking next dystopia .
The Awakening ( August 10 )
This movie came out in the U.K. last capitulation , but it ’s finally getting a U.S. release . It ’s another “ supernatural debunker confronts real supernatural phenomena ” moving-picture show — except that it ’s set in 1921 and the debunker is a char , Florence Cartwright ( Rebecca Hall ) .

The creeptastic Disney picture show about a childless couple ( Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton ) who compose down their compliments for a child and bury it in the yard … and then their dream minor shows up , already maturate 10 .

7500 ( August 31 )
Get these motherfuckin ’ ghosts off this motherfuckin ’ plane ! Seriously , if Samuel L. Jackson does n’t at least get a cameo where he say that , we ’ll experience jockey .
