Peter Parker runs the gauntlet as the mysterious company Oscorp sends up a slew of supervillains against him, impacting on his life.
THE BUZZ: What's most interesting to us with this burgeoning franchise reboot isn't the amount of mystery and misdirection surrounding the events of its second installment, it is director Marc Webb's investment in future sequels. He's already teased the notion of The Gentleman and the Sinister Six antagonizing Peter Parker down the road. Besting that, screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci already have people thinking we will see Venom in The Amazing Spider-Man 4, which is currently set for a 2018 release. 2018. We can't even estimate if we'll be good or evil tomorrow.

Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new threat from old history : the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier.
THE BUZZ: If we can agree that Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) lacked humor - an element that has made the other Avengers movies fun to watch - then perhaps that was the impetus to hire Joe and Anthony Russo, best known for their work on "Arrested Development" and "Community", to co-direct the sequel, which picks up where the original left off, with Steve Rogers getting his bearings after being transported from WWII to the present day. Also being transported through time is Rogers's close friend, Bucky Barnes, whose surprise existence doesn't necessarily make for a happy reunion ... though it should help make for a more compelling and complex villain scenario.

The Biblical Noah suffers visions of an apocalyptic deluge and takes measures to protect his family from the coming flood.
Director :
Darren Aronofsky
Stars :
Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson
THE BUZZ: We admire Darren Aronofsky for not playing it safe after Black Swan since his Biblical epic is a potential gamble financially, commercially, and critically, even if it's a faithful telling of the story. While it's unfair to directly compare them, if the reports of monsters and fallen angels are true, terrible word-of-mouth could result in Fountain-like situation, and quickly.

Beatrice Prior, a teenager with a special mind, finds her life threatened when an authoritarian leader seeks to exterminate her kind in her effort to seize control of their divided society.
Director :
Neil Burger
THE BUZZ: As every studio continues to try and crack the young-adult code, Summit Entertainment re-enters this particular arena after their take on Ender's Game proved to be a non-starter. You could probably teach a popular college course on the making and marketing of young-adult novels, but you'd still have trouble getting that demographic to see the movie adaptations in theaters.

Fresh from prison, a street racer who was framed by a wealthy business associate joins a cross country race with revenge in mind. His ex-partner, learning of the plan, places a massive bounty on his head as the race begins.
Director :
Scott Waugh
THE BUZZ: The current movie-release calendar feels a bit like summer with all the Legos, vampires, and Robocops vying for your patronage. Add this video-game adaptation and potential franchise-starter into the mix, with its enviable cast led by Aaron Paul, who is making the transition from "Breaking Bad" in a promising fashion (look for his Sundance hit Hellionlater this year).

In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) - a loving husband, father and good cop - is critically injured in the line of duty, the multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police officer.
Director :
José Padilha
THE BUZZ: For his English-language debut, Elite Squad (2007) director Jose Padilha has the dubious honor of handling this long-in-development remake that had trouble holding onto its stars before filming began. Even with this enviable cast, in the post-Total Recall (2012), post-Dredd (2012) era, the studio and most everyone involved with this project must be a bit nervous.

Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, half human/vampire, guardians of the Moroi, peaceful, mortal vampires living discretely within our world. Her legacy is to protect the Moroi from bloodthirsty, immortal Vampires, the Strigoi. This is her story.
Director :
Mark Waters
Stars : Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry, Danila Kozlovsky, Gabriel Byrne
THE BUZZ: Mark Waters hasn't had the best luck since Mean Girls (2004), but the director's underrated take on The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) proved he can handle the fantasy genre. Here, he partners with his brother, Heathers (1988) screenwriter Daniel Waters, to mount the first installment of a hopeful franchise based on Richelle Mead's 6-volume series of best-selling novels that sound a bit like Twilight meets X-Men. A potential advantage this contender has over its competition: two of the six books have been turned into graphic novels thus far.

An ordinary LEGO minifigure, mistakenly thought to be the extraordinary MasterBuilder, is recruited to join a quest to stop an evil LEGO tyrant from gluing the universe together.
Directors :
Phil Lord | Christopher Miller
Stars :
Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Morgan Freeman
THE BUZZ: Perhaps one lesson learned from Battleship (2012): audiences don't want classic board games turned into overly serious action-adventure tales. So we were relieved when Warner Bros. announced the project as an animated movie to be co-directed by the guys fromCloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009).

Depressed single mom Adele and her son Henry offer a wounded, fearsome man a ride. As police search town for the escaped convict, the mother and son gradually learn his true story as their options become increasingly limited.
Director :Jason Reitman
Stars : Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin, Gattlin Griffith, Clark Gregg
THE BUZZ: From what we hear, Jason Reitman's fifth film feels more like his first time in the director's chair, as his adaptation of Joyce Maynard's novel has earned the dreaded comparisons to your standard Lifetime Original Movie. Is this why Paramount ultimately decided to give the film an Oscar-qualifying release at the end of the year and a wide release in the cold of winter? Reitman wasted no time getting his next project rolling.
