Boys Winona Ryder stars in this Interscope production about a wild young woman who is thrown from her horse one autumn day and discovered by boys from a boarding school. There, a senior ("Rambling Rose's" Lukas Haas) secretes her in his room and nurses her back to health—and they fall in love. Stacy Cochran ("My New Gun") writes and directs; Peter Frankfurt ("Juice") and Touchstone's Paul Feldsher produce. iBuena Vista, 8/25) Exploitips: Sounds to be an older-skewing "chick flick" variant on the story of Snow White. Ryder's similarly themed "Little Women " performed surprisingly well this past Christmas, but "Boys"— in the hands of the deftly satiric Cochran— could be more comic than classic. Pitch toward young women, who might go for a romantic tale as summer ends. Something to Talk About lulia Roberts stars as a headstrong woman married to a charming but adulterous man (Dennis Quaid) in this tale of three generations of women in a Southern horse-raising family and their relationships with the male gender. Robert Duvall ("The Paper"), Kyra Sedgwick ("Singles") and Cena Rowlands ("Night on Earth") co-star for director Lasse Hallstrom ("What's Eating Gilbert Crape"). Paula Weinstein and Anthea Sylbert produce for Spring Creek Productions; Callie Khouri ("Thelma & Louise") scripts. (Warner, 8/4) Exploitips: Even without a big hit In a while, Roberts remains one ofAmerica's favorite marquee names— less true for Quaid, another actor in search of turnstile success ("Wyatt Earp"). With the venerable Duvall and Rowlands aboard for the art-housey Hallstrom and literate Weinstein ("Fearless"), one might expect high Steal Big/Steal Little High-octane director Andrew Davis ("The Fugitive," "Under Siege") helms this action/comedy about two identical brothers jboth played by "Hero's" Andy Garcia)—one a good-hearted agrarian, the otner a slicK wheeler-dealer—who come into comic contention overo billion-dollar plot of land. Alan Arkin ("North") and Rachel Ticotin ("Natural Born Killers") co-star. Davis scripts with Terry Kahn and produces with Fred Caruso ("Surviving the Game"). (Savoy, 8/25) Exploitips: Director Davis and actor Garcia are sure to be prominently featured in Savoy's marketing plans, and they should be in yours, too. onscreen quality over top ticket quantity. Emphasize the Roberts name, as she's the one element that will make the difference. The Brothers McMullen Marking the launch of Eox's classics division run by former Coldwyn head Tom Rothman, this Fox Searchlight pickup (out of EIGHT Sundance, where it shared a Grand jury nod) tells the story of three Irish-Catholic brothers (Jack Mulcahy, Edward Burns and Michael McGlone) and their Long Island encounters with sex, marriage and infidelity. The film marks the first feature for co-star Burns, who directs, scripts and produces. See our review in the April issue. (Fox Searchlight, 8/9) Exploitips: Low-budget art-houser has buzz thanks to its Sundance win— an honor previously enjoyed by Steven Soderbergh's equally relationship-driven "sex, lies, and videotape. " Promotional efforts should center on hot young director Burns. New York locales and (in markets with an appreciable Irish- American demographic) the ethnic angle. Fair Game In this high-heat tale of Miami vice, William Baldwin ("A Pyromaniac's Love Story") and supermodel Cindy Crawford star as a family attorney on the run from high-tech killers and the police detective who's disobeying orders to protect her. Director Andy Sipes (the short "The Champion") makes his feature debut; Charlie Fletcher scripts; |oel Silver ("Demolition Man") produces for his Silver Pictures. (Warner, 8/1 1 Babe In a live-action film that blends special effects and animal performances, a peculiar talking piglet named Babe, unwilling to accept the life that's expected of him, decides he wants to be a sheepdog (more exactly, a sheep-pig) and takes up herding. Director Chris Noonan produces and scripts with Georqe Miller 'The Witches ( of Eastwick") for the Kennedy/Miller Co. (Universal, 8/4) Exploitips: A late entry in the live-action animal flick boom touched off by "Free Willy," itself sequelized this summer. A barnyard-type pig "petting zoo" could spark extra interest on opening weekend. Exploitips: Supermodel Cindv Cra\.\iord's dcltui dtter'- all kinds of clothes and cosmetics tie-in possibilities via local merchants. Run a Cindv-lookalike contest at your theatre, and feature the winner in street and lobby ballyhoo. Wild Bill Will Hickok survive in the season in which "Wy.itt Earp" died? Director/st ripter Walter I lill ("Geronimo: An American Legend") still believes in the vsestern's resurgence—which will face a boxoffice litmus test with this chronicle of the latter-day exploits of the legendary gunfighter in Doadwood, the Dakota 1 2 BOXOIKICE
