Summit Entertainment has the chance for a big 2009 with some bonafide features in its sack and following up the late year bank account bulge thanks to Twilight, which will see its sequel, New Moon released in November. Other than that you have the intriguing Paul McGuigan feature Push, a return to the big screen for Alex Proyas with Knowing (although this one worries me), Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker (brand new trailer for that one here), the delayed Brothers Bloom from Rian Johnson and the animated Astro Boy, which I know a lot of people are interested in.
All the cast, director and synopsis information is listed over the course of the next few pages as well as all the release dates for 9 new features. Gallery links have been added for all films where applicable and
Enjoy!
