I couldn’t do anything other than lead with this one, as it is surely to be the one that tons of visitors from around the web will be most interested in as we have finally received some official looks at Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. That’s right, no more grainy scans just a couple of high quality peeks at the kids in action.

Next, the caped crusader is back for the WB as Christian Bale dons the black cloak and the adventure is renewed.

Up next on the highly anticipated list is the Johnny Depp and Tim Burton remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as the Golden Ticket makes its return to the big screen.

This will be a chance for audiences to relive the story as only Burton can bring it to the screen, as we follow five lucky children on a guided tour of the legendary Wonka factory that no outsider has seen in 15 years. We now have a teaser trailer for the flick along with a brand new image, so click here to get the goods.

Hey look its Keanu Reeves and he isn’t Neo! Reeves is back and this time instead of battling computer programs he is battling demons from the depths of Hell as John Constantine in the sci-fi thriller Constantine.

If you have yet to check out the trailers for this one you may want to stop reading right now and click here to do so because this one looks like it will be getting a little hairy, as if you couldn’t tell that from the image above.

We have had a few looks at this film already, as it was originally intended to be released this year, but now with a February 18, 2005 release date set we get a couple more looks at the film. So click here now to get the details and the pics on this one.

What would the year be if Johnny Depp and Tim Burton didn’t get together twice? If you are anything like me, you can’t wait to find out as the two will not only be joining up for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but also the animated flick Corpse Bride.

Set in a 19th century European village, this stop-motion, animated feature follows the story of Victor (Depp), a young man who is whisked away to the underworld and wed to a mysterious Corpse Bride (Helena Bonham-Carter), while his real bride, Victoria, waits bereft in the land of the living. Though life in the Land of the Dead proves to be a lot more colorful than his strict Victorian upbringing, Victor learns that there is nothing in this world, or the next, that can keep him away from his one true love.

We did receive one image for the film, so click here to check it out.

Warner Bros. has July jam packed with films and the last of the bunch is The Dukes of Hazzard starring Johnny Knoxville, Sean William Scott and Jessica Simpson as the Dukes.

This comedy spoof of the popular early 80s TV show really doesn’t look like it is going to be that good, but nonetheless it has Jessica Simpson in some short shorts, so it may be enough to keep the eyes open.

We did receive one pic, so click here to check it out, along with the rest of the cast listing.

Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Costner are up in our next preview as they star in Rumor Has It, a film about a young woman (Aniston) who puts her marriage plans on the shelf so she can return home to Pasadena and unravel family secrets. She has discovered that the 1967 film The Graduate was probably based on her family, her grandmother was Mrs. Robinson and she doesn’t know her real father.

Yeah it may be a stretch for the former “Friends” star, but if it bombs Aniston already has enough films in the hopper to make up for it. click here to check out a couple of early pics.

Okay, I don’t have a ton of faith in Rumor Has It, but my faith completely runs out with this unnecessary sequel as Sandra Bullock dresses up once again as Gracie Hart in Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous.

I have yet to see the first film and I cannot see how this one could be any good. Nonetheless, it is coming out, and we have proof with a couple of pics, just click here to check them out.

Up on the horror block comes the House of Wax remake, starring Chad Michael Murray, Elisha Cuthbert, Jared Padalecki, Jon Abrahams, Brian Van Holt and Paris Hilton as they reinvent the 1953 Vincent Price horror.

We have three pics from the horror, so don’t hesitate, click here to get a preview.

What we have now is our chick flick extraordinaire with The Sisterhood of Traveling Pants, a film based on Ann Brashares’ best-selling novel about a special 16th summer in the lives of four lifelong friends.

The film stars Amber Tamblyn, Bradley Whitford and Jenna Boyd and opens on June 3, 2005. Click here to check out a couple of pics.

Remember when Val Kilmer played Iceman, or even Doc Holliday? What the hell happened? Lately his last couple of films have completely tanked and now he is teamed up with Robert Downey Jr. in some misconstrued action romance something or another.

Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang finds Kilmer and Downey in a film following a murder mystery that brings together a private eye, a struggling actress, and a thief masquerading as an actor.

There is no official release date on this one, but we do have some pics for you here.

Keeping on the romantic comedy track, up next is the Diane Lane and John Cusak starrer Must Love Dogs a flick about a 40-ish preschool teacher (Lane) who seeks to remedy her single status with a personal ad and with that you can see just where the title fits.

The film does not yet have a formal release date, but we do have a couple of pics to peruse, so click here to check those out.

If you have heard anything about Syriana you have heard that George Clooney beefed up for the role, and once you see these pics, you will see they weren’t kidding.

Clooney packed on the pounds for this thriller based on Robert Baer’s book “See No Evil: The True Story of a Foot Soldier in the CIA’s War on Terrorism” following a money man who reps a Middle Eastern country’s oil interests, in the project being described as a “Traffic”-like tapestry of intersecting storylines that involve the CIA, foreign policy, the oil industry and terrorism.

The picture also stars Matt Damon and Amanda Peet, click here to check out Clooney’s gut, just don’t poke at it.

Another flick without a release date is the Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz sci-fi flick, The Fountain. Following the journey of one man in the present as well as both 500 years in the past and into the future the films tackles the issues of love, death and immortality.

Not much more is known about the story, but we do have one early pic, click here to check it out.

Finally we have the family flick Duma, Set in the exotic country of South Africa, this film tells the powerful adventure tale of an unbreakable bond of friendship between a cheetah named Duma and Xan, an intrepid young boy who faces the true test of love when he must cross the whole of Southern Africa to return his best friend to his rightful home in the wilds. On his journey, Xan learns that everything always changes, but not love.
