> Unearthly talent Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton) plays a Russian<br />
immigrant long-married to the heir of a wealthy Italian family. But<br />
this isn’t a success story—it’s a tragedy unleashed when her son introduces<br />
her to a lover who recognizes her restlessness and helps her<br />
steal a few minutes of joy before the world—and the world of the<br />
bourgeoisie—comes crashing down. This erotic drama has so much<br />
buzz distributor Magnolia is braving a wide release.<br />

> Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz team up on their quest for box<br />
office redemption. This slick flick plays to their strengths casting<br />
Cruise as a secret agent (sound familiar?) and Diaz as the smart<br />
babe who might be dating<br />
him—if he wasn’t always kidnapping<br />
her with a gun to her<br />
head. If Killers does well, Knight<br />
and Day wants to steal its mojo.<br />
And if both flop, the so-I-snogged-a-super-spy genre will have had<br />
a short shelf life.<br />

struts its own stuff<br />
> How will Columbia remake the ‘84<br />
classic? By not remaking it. Director<br />
Harald Zwart has aged-down and exoticized<br />
the original, recasting Ralph<br />
Macchio as a Detroit preteen (Jaden<br />
Smith) shipped off to China with his<br />
single mom. Friendless, he learns<br />
kung fu from janitor Jackie Chan to<br />
defend himself from bullies. This is<br />
a star-making role for young lead<br />
Smith—and with parents Will and<br />
Jada Smith as producers, it’s darn<br />
well designed to be.<br />
