Disney walked away from<br />

the Narnia franchise after the<br />

lukewarm reception to 2008’s<br />

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince<br />

Caspian, which made $141.6<br />

million domestically, but cost $225<br />

million. (Luckily foreign audiences<br />

were twice as enthusiastic and<br />

spent $278 million in ticket sales.)<br />

This follow-up about the Pevensie<br />

family’s adventures on a giant ship<br />

cost a fraction of its predecessor,<br />

but it’s based on a more popular<br />

installment of the franchise, and<br />

Fox scooped up the flick with full<br />

faith in the power of Aslan’s roar.<br />

> Andrew Jarecki’s drama doesn’t exactly<br />

accuse real-life real estate scion Robert Durst<br />

of murdering his wife in 1982—it’s cautious<br />

enough that it at least changes his name to<br />

David. But otherwise, this pedigreed drama<br />

starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst as<br />

the ill-fated couple is the indie film equivalent<br />

of O.J. Simpson’s If I Did It.<br />

> This explosive drama stars Anthony<br />

Mackie (The Hurt Locker) as an exiled Black<br />

Panther returning to the hood to deal with<br />

old wounds, an old love and the tattered<br />

legacy of his gang. Between the cops still<br />

watching him and the boys on the block<br />

spray painting “snitch” on his Cadillac,<br />

homecoming ain’t easy. A popular film on<br />

the festival circuit, director Tanya Hamilton’s<br />

debut flick co-stars Kerry Washington<br />

as an idealistic lawyer who holds the neighborhood<br />

together.<br />

> One year and one week after the opening<br />

of Ninja Assassin, Warner Bros.’ $40 million<br />

gamble that fans of Korean heartthrob Rain<br />

would flood the global box office (and they<br />

did, at least well enough) comes this surrealist<br />

and theatrical samurai western starring<br />

Korean heartthrob Dong-gun Jang in a story<br />

about an exiled fighter who hides out in an<br />

American circus. With Kate Bosworth and<br />

Geoffrey Rush.<br />
