NOVEMBER 3
Borat
Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Davitian, Pamela Anderson
What we guess it's about: Fox rolls the dice on this gritty, subtitled drama about the brother of the #4 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan and their relationship with the town rapist.
Studio-imposed official statement: Join the fun as Kazakhstan's loveable cultural reporter comes to America and embarks on a heroic quest to deflower Pamela Anderson!
Volver
Cast: Penélope Cruz, Carmen Maura, Lola Dueñas
What we guess it's about: From the Spanish word meaning "to return," Pedro Almodóvar's latest involves a person or persons who return somewhere. May have some thematic similarities to The Departed.
Studio-imposed official statement: Volvando a España después un muerte carrera en Hollywood, Penélope Cruz definas "Cruz control" con ayuda para Almodóvar!
NOVEMBER 10
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait Of Diane Arbus
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Robert Downey Jr.
What we guess it's about: The fur will be flying in what we imagine is a sexy comedy about the madcap shenanigans of the chinchilla industry. Also, an imaginary portrait of Diane Arbus may somehow be involved.
Studio-imposed official statement: Fur may or may not be murder, but it'd be a crime to miss this sexy biopic of sexy shutterbug Diane Arbus, starring top Hollywood megastar Nicole Kidman!
A Good Year
Cast: Russell Crowe, Abbie Cornish, Albert Finney
What we guess it's about: Crowe and director Ridley Scott are reteaming? Aw, yeah! Bring on the Gladiator-style bloodletting!
Studio-imposed official statement: A self-absorbed businessman learns to appreciate the simple things in life when he inherits a vineyard in Provence!
Stranger Than Fiction
Cast: Will Ferrell, Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Gyllenhaal
What we guess it's about: Playing the latest in a long line of eccentric characters, Will Ferrell stars as Phineas J. Fact, thereby adding a clever twist to the title. Other details were unclear at press time.
Studio-imposed official statement: America's love affair with Luigi Pirandello comes full flower in this story about one character (Ferrell) in search of an author (Emma Thompson) intent on killing him off!
NOVEMBER 17
Casino Royale
Cast: Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Judi Dench
What we guess it's about: The poster makes it look like a transparent attempt to cash in on the poker craze, although the presence of Judi Dench and Eva Green screams "arthouse," so it may be some kind of talky chick flick.
Studio-imposed official statement: The thrills never stop in the 21st entry in the official James Bond series!
Fast Food Nation
Cast: Greg Kinnear, Wilmer Valderrama, Catalina Sandina Moreno, Bruce Willis
What we guess it's about: Not since the glory years of Hot Dog: The Movie and Hamburger: The Motion Picture has the screen held such junk-food-inspired hijinks!
Studio-imposed official statement: Director Richard Linklater fictionalizes Eric Schlosser's bestselling exposé of the unethical and unhealthy fast-food business. You'll never look at French fries the same way again!
NOVEMBER 22
The Fountain
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz, Ellen Burstyn
What we guess it's about: All signs suggest that this is a team-up between Rachel Weisz's character from The Mummy and her adventures with Wolverine across several centuries. We're not sure how they meet, if they fall in love, or whether they fight mummies.
Studio-imposed official statement: Can love exist outside of time? Join stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz as they journey through the ages to find out!
