EW.com has listed “15 Hot Movies of 2011″ and the list includes Breaking Dawn, of course, but also some other ventures from our Twilight gang!
RED RIDING HOOD (March 11) [Catherine Hardwicke]
This is not the fairy tale you remember. In this telling, Amanda Seyfried is the heroine Valerie, whose village is being terrorized by a werewolf that goes on to kill someone close to her. A hunter (Gary Oldman) stokes the villagers’ paranoia, while Valerie is in a love triangle with the man her parents want her to marry (Max Irons) and the one she really loves (Shiloh Fernandez).
WATER FOR ELEPHANTS (April 22) [Robert Pattinson]
”To have a costar who is this reliable, this sensitive and circumspect and intelligent — it’s just fabulous,” says Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds). He’s not talking about Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson, who play the star performer and veterinary student in an adaptation of Sara Gruen’s best-seller about a traveling circus in the 1930s. He’s talking about Tai, a 9,000-pound Asian elephant.
HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 (July 15) [Jamie Campbell Bower]
The final Harry Potter film brings Daniel Radcliffe’s titular boy wizard nose-to-snake-snout with Ralph Fiennes’ villainous Voldemort in a wand duel to the death. ”It’s very much an action film,” says producer David Heyman. ”Part 1 was more akin to a road film. Part 2 is all about the destination.”
THE HELP (August 12) [Bryce Dallas Howard]
Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Sissy Spacek, and Octavia Spencer (former roommate of the director, Tate Taylor) all star in this adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s hit 2009 novel about the enmeshed worlds of African-American maids.
BREAKING DAWN: PART 1 (Nov. 18)
Even if you don’t know each plot twist and turn from the final book in Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series, every self-respecting Twihard is aware that Breaking Dawn features Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) becoming vampire man and wife and sharing a marital bed for the first time. ”Finally!” laughs director Bill Condon. ”It is one of the most anticipated scenes, and I spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about it. You want to play with what people expect and maybe subvert it a little and surprise them.”
