Centers on the widespread corruption in the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (or CRASH) anti-gang unit of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Rampart Division in the late 1990s. Maverick LAPD cop Dave Brown (Harrelson), a Vietnam vet and a 30 year veteran of the Rampart division, uses his police powers like a Wild West gunslinger. But when the Rampart scandal erupts, he soon realizes that there's a new sheriff in town. When a videotaped beating puts him at the center of a media firestorm, he suspects that he has been targeted as a scapegoat. He must finally confront a lifetime of compromise, a deadly legacy with far-reaching implications for himself, his family, and his future.

Story:
Shia LaBeouf returns as Sam Witwicky in "Transformers 3". Peter Cullen also returns as the voice of Optimus Prime. This 3rd installment in the series "won’t be as robot-heavy and there will be fewer explosions, as the film gets more into the robot character. The last time (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) you kind of met a few of the robots. In "The Transformers 3" you’re gonna get a much cooler landscape" according to director Michael Bay.
Columbia Pictures auditions for Spiderman 2.0 in 3D moving forward
The Emmy Award nominated and seven time Casting Society of America Artios Award winning casting director Francine Maisler has been brought in by Columbia Pictures to cast the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. The film now has a working title of Spiderman 2.0 and Andrew Garfield has been tapped to play Peter Parker aka Spiderman.
The highly talented Mark Webb will direct the film. Webb was mostly known as a music video and short-film director until his feature length debut, (500) Days of Summer.
Originally there were plans for 'Spider-Man 4' with Sam Raimi attached to direct and Maguire, Dunst and other cast members set to reprise their roles. Sony Pictures announced in January 2010 that plans for Spider-Man 4 had been canceled due to Raimi's withdrawal from the project. Raimi reportedly ended his participation due to doubt that he could meet the planned May 6, 2011 release date while upholding the film creatively. Simultaneous with the cancellation of Spider-Man 4, Sony announced that the franchise would be rebooted with a new director and new cast.
The studio is working off a script by James Vanderbilt, and has hired two time Academy Award winning veteran screenwriter Alvin Sargent to fine-tune the script and do a production polish for the Spiderman reboot. Sargent has worked on every single 'Spider-Man' movie, and has become Sony Studio’s go-to guy for punching up weighty scenes. The new 'Spiderman is rumored to be more emotionally anchored and realistic than the previous movies.
The film will begin shooting in December, 2010 in Los Angeles and is scheduled to hit theaters July 3, 2012. The studio will release the film in 3D.

Story:
In 1979, the U.S. Air Force closed a section of Area 51, all the materials were to be transported to a secure facility in Ohio. Then all hell breaks loose when the train derails in a fiery crash, and the residents of a small town have their personal relationships tested when they are thrown up against extraordinarily fantastic and possibly other-worldly events.
