Fall movie preview 2012 : From Frankenweenie to The Twilight Saga

The Avengers, Batman and Spider-Man may have saved Hollywood's summer at the box office, but superheroes were not the only ones to succeed. Solid performances by sleepers like The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom and Beasts of the Southern Wild all proved that moviegoers may show up even when the Hulk is nowhere to be seen.

The fall offers an equally rich bounty to viewers, many of whom pride themselves on seeing the latest batch of potential Oscar contenders at the earliest opportunity. (The Toronto International Film Festival is very useful in that regard. The calendar of new releases has plenty of room for comedies, thrillers, kids' flicks, foreign-language fare and docs, too.

Here's a guide to the films that will be vying for attention (and possibly some glittery statuettes in the months to come. Dates may change so keep checking the Star's movie listings.

Henry Cavill, Bruce Willis, Sigourney Weaver

A businessman tangles with shadowy operatives (and his ex-spy father when his family is kidnapped while on holiday in Spain.

Though already released to middling response elsewhere in the world, this espionage thriller gets a crack at Canadians who may want to see Cavill before he slips into Superman's tights for Man of Steel.

Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Irons, Zoe Saldana

A struggling writer finds fame and fortune when he passes off another man's long-lost manuscript as his own.

Cooper used some of his post-Hangover clout to make this literary drama, which was written and directed by two childhood pals.

Milla Jovovich, Sienna Guillory, Michelle Rodriguez

Our gun-toting heroine Alice once again struggles to decide who she hates more: the flesh-eating zombies who are ravaging the Earth or the corporate baddies who created them.

Despite the lousy track record for movies spawned by videogames, this franchise has been successful enough to merit five installments, the last four of which were shot in Toronto.

Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres

An overprotective clownfish tries to rescue his son after he ends up in a dentist's fish tank.

As one of Pixar's biggest hits (and the best-selling DVD of all time, it's hardly lacking fans, but the addition of a third dimension may attract another generation of viewers.

Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams, John Goodman

An aging baseball scout makes one last trip with his lawyer daughter in tow.

Before agreeing to take the lead in the directorial debut of his longtime producer Robert Lorenz, Eastwood hadn't starred in a movie he didn't direct since 1993's In the Line of Fire.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Pena, Anna Kendrick

Two cops in Los Angeles get in big trouble with a ruthless drug cartel.

Having already roughed up viewers with Training Day, Harsh Times, Dark Blue and Street Kings, writer-director David Ayer clearly has a fondness for gritty stories about L.A.'s finest.

Jennifer Lawrence, Elisabeth Shue

A woman and her teenage daughter find out more than they really want to know about the murders that happened next door to their new house.

As if Lawrence didn't have it hard enough in The Hunger Games, now she's got to make it through the latest teen horror flick. At least she won't have to eat any squirrels.

Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Lena Headey

A hard-nosed supercop in a post-apocalyptic American mega-city faces off against a drug gang.

Fans of the British comic-book hero are hoping that this slick action movie is a whole lot cooler than the 1995 movie starring Sly Stallone that was straight-up dreadful.

Rachel Mwanza, Serge Kanyinda

A teenage girl in sub-Saharan Africa is stolen from her village and forced to fight as a child soldier.

With big wins at Berlin and Sundance, the latest by Quebec's Kim Nguyen is already the year's most decorated Canadian drama.

Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller

Coping with the recent death of his friend, a 15-year-old finds solace in the company of two fellow misfits.

Stephen Chbosky's own adaptation of his popular young-adult novel is shaping up to be the season's smartest teen movie.

Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Brit Marling

A hedge-fund manager's financial woes are compounded when he tries to cover up his role in an accidental death.

Wall Street types may make for compelling villains these days but the so-so reception of other financially themed thrillers suggests that many moviegoers would rather not be reminded of our era's economic woes.

Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Andy Samberg

The human and supernatural worlds collide when a boy discovers Dracula's other career as the manager of a resort for famous monsters.

ParaNorman's recent success and the perennial popularity of The Nightmare Before Christmas proves that kids have a taste for the macabre, a fact that bodes well for this scary but sweet treat.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt

In a future where time machines are a reality, a gun for hire ends up hunting his older self.

As the opening night at this year's TIFF, this science-fiction thriller is burdened with big expectations, but results were impressive when Gordon-Levitt and writer-director Rian Johnson teamed on the teen-noir Brick.

Viola Davis, Maggie Gyllenhaal

Two women devote their lives to saving their kids' ailing inner-city school.

Inspired by true events in California, this drama highlights the woes of America's public education system while delivering some much-needed uplift.

The Master, Laurence Anyways, How to Survive a Plague, Roller Town, 10 Years.

Winona Ryder, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Short

Calamities ensue when a pint-sized science wiz brings his canine best friend back from the dead.

Tim Burton's original 1984 short was an early indication of the director's sensibility. Let's hope this expanded version will conjure up the same magic as Corpse Bride, Burton's last stop-motion animated feature.

Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen

A retired CIA operative and his wife are held hostage in Istanbul by the father of a victim of our hero's earlier mission to rescue his daughter.

A surprise smash when released in North America in early 2009, Taken turned the sexagenarian Neeson into a credible action-movie he-man.

Anna Kendrick, Elizabeth Banks, Rebel Wilson

A new student throws in her lot with her college's all-girl a cappella group.

Viewers who believe there's just not enough Glee in the world can find some solace in this campus comedy, a welcome showcase for both Up in the Air's Anna Kendrick and Bridemaids breakout Rebel Wilson.

Ben Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Victor Garber

A CIA fixer poses as a film producer in a strange-but-true scheme to rescue Americans hiding in Tehran during Iran's revolution in 1979.

It'll be tough for Affleck to match the standard set by Escape from Iran: The Canadian Caper, the 1981 TV miniseries about the same events. But the actor's successful transition to the director's chair bodes well for his third effort.

Kevin James, Salma Hayek

Desperate to raise funds for his cash-strapped school, a biology teacher tries his luck as an MMA fighter.

The Paul Blart: Mall Cop star's love of MMA is genuine — he's trained with his buddy Randy Couture and lost dozens of pounds to get ready for the role.

Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson

An L.A. screenwriter and his pals attract a gangster's ire when they steal his beloved dog.

What with a cast that also includes Tom Waits and Christopher Walken, Farrell and writer-director Martin McDonagh should have even more fun than they did on In Bruges, their earlier black comedy.

Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta

A professional hitman delivers some rough justice in New Orleans after two small-timers rob the wrong mobsters.

Pitt's second film with Andrew Dominik — who directed him in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford — earned praise at Cannes as a tough, terse crime flick.

Tyler Perry, Matthew Fox

A detective-slash-psychologist hunts a sadistic serial killer.

Based on a bestseller by James Patterson, this thriller sees Tyler Perry assume a role played by Morgan Freeman in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Does that mean Freeman's taking over Madea?

Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, Matthew McConaughey

A young reporter gets in over his head while investigating a murder in late-'60s Florida.

Director Lee Daniels' follow-up to Precious was instantly notorious at Cannes for the scene in which Kidman pees on Efron after his character is bit by a jellyfish. Critics pretty much did the same thing to the movie.

Tom Hanks, Halle Berry

Themes, conflicts and characters recur in six interconnected narratives with a wide array of settings.

Adapting David Mitchell's cunning novel for the screen would seem to be an impossible task, but the directorial team of Run Lola Run's Tom Tykwer and The Matrix trilogy's Andy and Lana Wachowski is determined to recreate its many worlds.

Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Amanda Seyfried

A tricky situation at a family wedding compels a happily divorced couple to pretend to still be together.

The Bucket List screenwriter Justin Zackham targets boomer viewers with a comedic vehicle for two Hollywood veterans.

Jonny Weston, Gerard Butler, Elisabeth Shue

After discovering the location of a legendary break near his home in Northern California, a young surfer enlists a crusty vet to help him master it.

Based on the real-life story of surf great Jay Moriarty and mentor Frosty Hesson, this drama had its own rough patches. Director Curtis Hanson was replaced by Michael Apted during the final weeks of production due to Hanson's health issues, and Butler was briefly hospitalized for an injury.

Satya Bhabha, Shahana Goswami, Rajat Kapoor

The first decades of modern India are portrayed through the story of magically gifted children born at the moment that the country gains independence.

Toronto director Deepa Mehta worked closely with Salman Rushdie to bring the author's 1981 Booker Prize winner to the screen.

Butter, Fun Size, Gambit, Stories We Tell, Atlas Shrugged Part 2, Pusher, Samsara, 3,2,1… Frankie Go Boom, Sinister, Silent Hill: Revelation, Paranormal Activity 4.

Denzel Washington, John Goodman, Bruce Greenwood

After making a miraculous emergency landing, a commercial pilot faces a crisis in the event's aftermath.

This high-flying drama is Robert Zemeckis's first live-action feature since Cast Away, a movie that had a rather different outcome for its hero's midair crisis.

John C. Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch

A videogame character who's tired of being the bad guy escapes from his old-school arcade game in hopes of finding a new adventure.

While kids are amused by Disney's latest feature-length toon, their nostalgic parents will stay busy looking out for cameos by vintage videogame characters.

RZA, Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu

In 19th-century China, a blacksmith and weapons maker ends up in the middle of a set of warring clans.

Martial arts cinema was a huge inspiration for the Wu-Tang Clan, RZA's legendary hip-hop supergroup. Now the music producer and sometime actor has become a full-fledged chopsocky auteur thanks to help from Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth.

Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes

James Bond faces a villain who threatens the future of MI6 and his relationship with an embattled M.

Freed from the limbo caused by MGM's bankruptcy woes, the Bond franchise aims for world domination once again. The list of exotic locations this time includes Shanghai and Istanbul.

Daniel Day-Lewis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jared Harris

America's 16th and arguably greatest president faces a series of tribulations in the last months of his life.

This historic teaming of Day-Lewis and director Steven Spielberg seems like such a shoo-in for Oscar glory, they might as well start handing out statues now.

Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Johnson

A virtuous wife becomes the talk of late-19th-century Moscow when she falls in love with a dashing cavalry officer.

Director Joe Wright's overtly theatrical take on Tolstoy's romantic tragedy is the kind of handsomely mounted literary adaptation that Oscar voters swoon over.

Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson

In the finale of our era's quintessential vampire melodrama, new parents Bella and Edward try to protect their rapidly growing progeny from the wrath of the Volturi.

Stewart and Pattinson's real-life drama of recent months may have a negative impact on what was one of the season's likeliest blockbusters. Then again, Twi-hards may shed even more tears over the last moments of their favourite supernatural saga.

'Vampire Diaries' Star Daniel Gillies Teases Elijah's Season Four Return

Things are going to get a bit crazy when «The Vampire Diaries» returns for its fourth season on October 11. There’s the fact that you know who became a vampire, a certain someone has possessed another certain someone, and Elena has seemingly picked one Salvatore brother over the other.

But while we’re interested in the resolution of all of those plot points, we’re also curious what the status of the Original Family is now that everyone thinks Klaus is dead (like it ever would be that easy. We recently had the chance to catch up with Daniel Gillies, the actor who plays brother Elijah, and asked him what we can expect from the Original vampire siblings in the coming season. Consider this your cue to stop reading if you aren’t caught up on «The Vampire Diaries.»

Daniel revealed that he had just come back from «The Vampire Diaries» set where he filmed a flashback scene set in the 11th century. He wouldn’t dish what it was about, but he did say fans should «buckle up and get ready for wigs.»

«I’ve had so many numerous haircuts on this thing. I feel like an accessory sometimes,» he joked. «I feel like the Potato Head-vampire. I think this was my fifth hairstyle? And as we venture further through history, we’re only going to find more absurdities upon my crown. The second to last one I had I adored, because I sort of looked somewhere between a Viking and an elf. This last one I looked like a roadie for the Grateful Dead in the 11th century.»

Though Daniel is balancing his time on «The Vampire Diaries» with his other show «Saving Hope,» he doesn’t think Elijah will be going anywhere any time soon. Writer and executive producer Julie Plec has made it clear to Daniel that there’s a role for him on «The Vampire Diaries» as long as he’s around.

«Julie’s been very generous, and I’m sure, as often as they can use me, they will,» he said. «As long as there’s ‘Vampire Diaries,’ there has to be Elijah. He’s too woven into the fabric of it now. One cannot exist without the other.»

When we mentioned that other characters have seemed to have the same sort of security—like, say, Elena’s Aunt Jenna or our favorite vampire hunter Alaric—Daniel seemed to imply that he still wouldn’t get the boot any time soon. And if he does, he just won’t speak to Julie any time soon (his words, not ours.

«[Elijah is] going to be back, and what role do we expect him to play? I think Elijah brings order. Whenever he returns, s–t gets done,» Daniel explained. «He’s sort of the stabilizer. There’s always a shift in the equilibrium. I think he’s the only one who can truly sort of restrain his brother. I think he’s the only one with the dignity/lucidity to be able to strategize a way out of Mystic Falls and into some sort of sanctuary for their family. I’m not saying that’s what he’s going to do, I’m saying that’s what he’s capable of. I think if the family listened to Elijah, they’d be in an excellent place to position themselves in this very contemporary world that wants them all gone.»

Klaus has been the main villain of «The Vampire Diaries» for more than a season and a half now, and it doesn’t look like that will change any time soon. Now that he has possessed Tyler (and no one other than Bonnie knows about it, there’s a good deal more drama that needs to be sorted out before Klaus can be defeated for good (if he ever can. But does that necessarily mean that a new villain won’t step in to fill his shoes?

«A rising thing is a passing thing. So I mean, you’re always in some sort of transition,» Daniel said. «I think it would be arrogant and sort of naïve to assume that there won’t be something else that would come to sort of eclipse [the Originals] in terms of this threat, because there’s always a new menace— there has to be—to maintain an audience’s interest. But I don’t think the Originals are going to go anywhere for a little while.»

Maybe that villain could be the new vampire hunter Julie said is coming to town, but it also could be the newly minted vampire version of Elena. Daniel teased that things have changed a lot on set ever since Nina Dobrev got her fangs.

«Nina Dobrev has become vicious. She’s become a vicious, horrible diva. I can’t even describe it,» Daniel dead-panned. «She’s driven to set even when it’s indoors… Nobody’s allowed to look at her. You have to look at the ground between takes… We end up doing most of our work to a green screen or to a tennis ball held in one of the [assistant's] hands. It’s become nightmarish.»

All joking aside, Daniel admitted that there is an air of confidence on the set of «The Vampire Diaries» that hadn’t been there before.

«It’s an interesting thing, walking back on the set and watching people entering back into the fourth season of something,» he said. «I entered halfway through the second when it was still in a little bit of a capricious zone because it still could have fallen away at that point. There are no certainties in this business. But I feel like there is a degree of certainty with people coming back for a fourth season, and it’s nice to see the sort of confidence radiating from people.»

Check back in with Hollywood Crush later this week when we’ll run the second half of our interview with Daniel. In it, we talk about his independent film «Broken Kingdom» and documentary «Kingdom Come.» He made both with his wife, «She’s All That» star Rachael Leigh Cook, and tells us about the unique way he plans on distributing it to his fans. Here’s a hint: He took a page out of Louis C.K.’s book, and hopes to have a similar level of success.

What are you most looking forward to in season four of «The Vampire Diaries»? Tell us in the comments or on Twitter!

S.A. 'Twilight' convention proves 'it's not just for teenage girls'

The DoubleTree near the San Antonio airport looked more like Forks, Wash. over the weekend. Or maybe it was more like La Push?

Fans of the ‘Twilight’ saga mingled with some of their favorite actors and other fanatics at the Official Twilight Saga Convention 2012. Celebrities included Christian Camargo (Eleazar, Booboo Stewart (Seth Clearwater, Julia Jones (Leah Clearwater, Alex Meraz (Paul of the Wolf Pack and Charlie Bewley (Demetri of The Volturi. The cast from the spoof web series ‘The Hillywood Show’ was also in attendance and judged the ‘Twilight’ costume contest.

Sure, there were a lot of teenage girls going gaga for Booboo Stewart and the other stars, but one woman’s shirt summed up the convention quite accurately: «Twilight. It’s not just for teenage girls, dammit.»

Wesley mixes business and pleasure

The Vampire Diaries hunk Paul Wesley has revealed starring alongside his wife is «phenomenal».

The TV star’s other half Torrey DeVitto joined the cast of the hit US show this year as Meredith Fell, with Paul playing leading man Stefan Salvatore.

Paul said of working with Torrey: «I think it’s phenomenal. At first I was apprehensive about it but after being on the show for three seasons and being thousands of miles apart it is actually very fortunate. It’s good for learning lines too!»

He added: «We all get along great. Everybody in the cast is great, and now my wife is on the show, it’s wonderful, it’s like summer camp.»

While playing a vampire has led to comparisons with Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson, Paul insisted The Vampire Diaries was very different to the hit film franchise.

«When I first read the script of The Vampire Diaries I thought, ‘Ok, they’re trying to ride the wave of Twilight’. And I’m sure the show came out initially because Twilight was such a success, but at this point The Vampire Diaries has become its own little franchise.

«And really the two pieces, Twilight and The Vampire Diaries, are incongruent, they don’t follow. To be honest with you I’ve never seen Twilight.»

Paul, 30, admitted he wasn’t sure how much longer the show will last.

«Our contracts are for six (series, so technically there can only be three more seasons, or there could be 10 if we decide we want to do more. I just don’t know how it’s going to pan out. For now I’ll just ride the wave.»

:: The Vampire Diaries: Season 3 is out on Blu-ray and DVD from August 20 and is available to download from iTunes.

Kristen Stewart agreed that she is thrilled with the final film, stating: «It’s clearly made by someone who really cares. That’s why [director] Bill Condon is perfect. Thank God for him.»

Gabby Douglas has made no secret of the fact that she’s a huge Vampire Diaries fan – and apparently the feeling is mutual.

After the show’s executive producer, Julie Plec, gave the 16-year-old gymnast a shout-out on Twitter after her all-around win at the Olympics, Douglas responded: » Awww thank you soo much!!! Btw this is one of my FAVORITE SHOW! #TheVampireDiaires #Guessappearance? [sic] lol :

Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Saga has sold more than 100 million books, spawning a film franchise that's become an international sensation. We got to sit down with her at Comic-Con last month where we discussed the ever-divisive naming of Renesmee, and how she felt about the ending of the saga."I've been holding off the sadness, but it's starting to get to me," she said. "I miss everyone — Kristen, Taylor, and Rob. I'm used to seeing them every day."

Looking back over the series, we asked if she had a favorite among the Twilight movies. "Not to say it's the best, because all of them have things to recommend them, but I think New Moon is the one that most closely dovetails with what I had in my head," she said. "It might help that I love [director] Chris Weitz — he's a dream to work with. Everyone was fun to work with but Chris and I really got each other."

When writing the first Twilight, could she ever have imagined it would become such a phenomenon? Meyers laughed. "If I had any idea that anyone would see what I was doing, I'd have stopped immediately. I'd never have been able to finish it. It's a huge amount of pressure, and it's taken me forever to be able to call myself an author. I'm a reader, and to me authors are magical creatures."

The Vampire Diaries: So, When Will Elena Have Steamy Vampire Sex?

Robyn Ross

Now that The Vampire Diaries‘ Elena Gilbert is turning into a vampire, there’s one question on everyone’s mind: How long will it be before she has some hot, vampy sex?

The short answer: You may have to wait a while. «I’m not going to say she’s not having loads of vampire sex off camera that we’re not showing, but we have not yet shot a complete sexual act this season between Elena and anybody,» executive producer Julie Plec tells TVGuide.com.

Exclusive: Find out the name of The Vampire Diaries Season 4 premiere!

In truth, sex is the last thing that Elena (Nina Dobrev will be thinking when the show returns in October. As Elena told Stefan in the Season 2 episode «The Last Day,» Elena never wanted the vampire life for herself and two seasons later, her feelings haven’t changed. «This is a girl who really, truly valued her humanity and … always wanted the choice of how to live her life,» Plec says. And while Elena considers not completing the transition, «that moment is fleeting [because] she recognizes she has a responsibility to her brother to stick around,» Plec says.

The Vampire Diaries tops Teen Choice Awards

As Elena goes through her transition, the opposing views about how one should feed and live their life will cause conflict between her two greatest allies — Damon (Ian Somerhalder and Stefan (Paul Wesley.

«Damon’s point of view in all of this is that anything [Stefan's] trying to do to avoid Elena being a real vampire is just a delusional delay of the inevitable,» Plec says. «While he can understand and appreciate that Stefan wants to protect her, [he feels he's] making a huge mistake because when all is said and done, [Damon thinks,] ‘Name one vampire who went through the newbie phase and didn’t take a life. Name me one vampire that didn’t go off the rails, name me one vampire who didn’t turn off their humanity for a while.’ So that’s where the conflict lies between Stefan and Damon. Stefan wants to protect her from that at all costs, and Damon is saying, ‘It’s going to happen’ you may as well rip the Band-Aid off and let it bleed.»

Regardless of whose lifestyle Elena follows, there will be nothing easy about her road. «It wouldn’t it feel right if it were easy,» Plec says. «Elena has a lot of things working against her. There’s the fact that her defining characteristic as a human being is her compassion for others which, as a vampire, is magnified and makes it very difficult to feed on a human being or an animal. Everything is heightened, so it’s a whole new Elena that’s magnified in catastrophic ways.»

The Vampire Diaries returns on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 8/7c on The CW.
