Blackhat - Michael Mann (Heat, Miami Vice, The Insider). A thriller about an unrealistically handsome hacker (Chris Hemsworth) that the U.S. government has to trust in order to save the free world may not sound like a Michael Mann plot, but hey, we'll watch anything he makes.
Selfless - Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall). About an incredibly wealthy old guy who cheats death by having his consciousness transferred into the body of a young man, only to discover there are unexpected strings attached to the operation.
Untitled Cameron Crowe Project - Cameron Crowe (Say Anything, Vanilla Sky, Almost Famous). Let's just rattle off this cast list: Bill Murray, Rachel McAdams, Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Jay Baruchel, John Krasinski and Danny McBride.
Ricki and the Flash - Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, Rachel Getting Married). Meryl Streep stars as an old rock star who tries to reconnect with her estranged family.
Regression - Alejandro Amenábar (Thesis, Open Your Eyes, The Others, The Sea Inside). Ethan Hawke and Emma Watson star in this thriller about a father who is about to go to jail for committing a crime he has no memory of.
The Visit - M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs, Unbreakable). Two young kids visit their grandparents. Presumably M. Night Shyamalan-y things happen after that. He may have earned himself a bad reputation with his last few films, but this is his attempt to make a small, under-the-radar thriller again, and we hope it pays off.
Triple Nine - John Hillcoat (The Proposition, The Road, Lawless). Kate Winslet, Aaron Paul and Norman Reedus star in this crime drama about corrupt cops who plan the murder of a rookie on one side of town in order to pull off a heist on the other side of town.
The Sea of Trees - Gus Van Sant (Elephant, Good Will Hunting, Milk). Matthew McConaughey stars in this drama about an American who plans to commit suicide in Japan's infamous forest at the base of Mount Fuji. There he meets a local man (Ken Watanabe), and together the two contemplate life.
