Cyrus (dir. Duplass Brothers) - Indie film directors switch to more mainstream fare with John C. Reilly and Jonah Hill in a nice looking comedy-drama.
Buried (dir.Rodrigo Cortés) - Ryan Reynolds stars as a contractor in Iraq who wakes up buried in a wooden coffin with only a candle, knife, and cell phone. Very interesting circumstances could make for a real test of Reynolds' talents.
Jack Goes Boating (dir. Philip Seymour Hoffman) - Hoffman's directorial debut of a stage play he starred in. A romantic comedy set in NYC, starring Hoffman and Amy Smart.
The Killer Inside Me (dir. Michael Winterbottom) - Winterbottom is one of the most dynamic British directors working today and this film looks to be just as mind-blowing as previous work. Casey Affleck stars as a small town sheriff who is secretly a serial killer, finding it harder and harder to hide his crimes..jpg)
Holy Rollers (dir. Kevin Asch) -Jesse Eisenberg takes on his first purely dramatic starring role as a Hasidic Jew lured into the drug trafficking business.
High School (dir. John Stalberg) - In what is being billed as a stoner EPIC, the valedictorian of his high school realizes he has to get drug tested and this will reveal he's a pothead. His plan to remedy this is to fix the drug tests of the entire graduating class to test positive for marijuana. Stars Adrien Brody as Psycho Ed, check out the pic above :D
Hesher (dir. Spencer Susser) - Joseph Gordon Levitt plays the total opposite of his character in last year's 500 Days of Summer. He's a burnout, locked up in his trailer with nothing but hate for the world around him, and eventually becomes the mentor of a 13 year old boy. Natalie Portman co-stars.
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (dir. Eli Craig) - I love the premise: Two rednecks, who are actually kind men, are believed to be psycho killers by a group of teenagers from the city who try to kill the pair. This could either be a big letdown or a genius film. Stars Alan Tudyk.
