Something called The 28th Amendment (which "follows a young U.S. president who uncovers a hidden conspiracy in the upper echelons of the government." Which party?); Something called The Adjustment Bureau, based on A PHILIP K. DICK STORY (AAAAAAAAAAAAMEN!!!!!); THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN: SECRETS OF THE UNICORN; THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN 2 (!!!!!); something called The Age of Adaline, which "stars Katherine Heigl as a woman, born at the turn of 20th century, who stops aging after an accident." (Is this ANOTHER industry satire?); something called The Art of Making Money (ANOTHER INDUSTRY SATIRE?!?!?); The Associate, BASED ON A JOHN GRISHAM NOVEL; MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS!!!!!; something called The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, starring "Dev Patel, Julie Christie, Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson and Peter O’Toole", a "romantic comedy" that "follows four elderly Brits who decide to spend their twilight years in India. John Madden will helm the film for Fox Searchlight." (Os-CARRRRRRRRRRRR®!!!!!!!!!!); A MOVEE VERSION OF THE BIG VALLEY; something called The Big Year, starring "Owen Wilson, Jack Black and Steve Martin", and BASED ON A BIRD-WATCHING BOOK; A "RE-IMAGINING" OF THE BLACK HOLE (Is UB IGER forcing them to use that term?); THE BOURNE LEGACY; something called The Boys, based on "A COMIC SERIES"; a biopic called The Butler, based on the memoirs of one "who worked for eight U. S. presidents" (okay, who are the bad guys?); something based on a British TV series called The Champions, "star[ring] Tom Cruise as one of many super-powered government agents"; something called The Chancellor Manuscript, based on "a story about D.C. power brokers who are blackmailed into changing U.S. foreign policy" (WHICH -- oh, never mind); something called The Change-Up, in which "[Jason] Bateman plays a responsible family man who switches bodies with his man-child best friend played by [Ryan] Reynolds." (Didn't they do this before, oh, sixty times, starting in 1909?)....
