Five Films To Watch Out For In 2012
| THE MUPPETS (February) After more than 10 years, The Muppets come back to the big screen. The film sees Kermit the Frog and his friends trying to save their studio from destruction and features an all-star cast, with the leads played by Amy Adams and Jason Segel and cameo appearances from Ed Helms, Jack Black, Selena Gomez and Katy Perry. |
| THE HUNGER GAMES (Mar) Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its 12 districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games, a nationally televised event in which "Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. |
| MEN IN BLACK III (May) After 10 years, agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. |
| THE DARK KNIGHT RISES (July) The conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy features an all-star cast led by Oscar winner Christian Bale in the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.
