Universal has unveiled their 2011 preview and inside there are new looks at several of their upcoming films including The Thing (first look photo here), Sanctum, Tower Heist, Johnny English Reborn, The Adjustment Bureau, Paul, Your Highness, Fast Five, Bridesmaids, The Change-Up and Cowboys and Aliens. And while you can click on any of those titles to have a look at the images from those films I first wanted to point out a couple first looks I'm particularly interested in.
First up is the first look at Jim Sheridan's Dream House starring Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts. Among other things, this film is likely to become tabloid fodder the closer we get to the September 30 release date as it's been reported an affair between Craig and Weisz was the cause for the latter's split with Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky. Pushing that aside, the film is a thriller about a family that unknowingly moves into a home where several grisly murders were committed… only to find themselves the killer's next target.

Next is our first look at Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts in the Hanks directed dramatic comedy Larry Crowne. Along with Roberts, Hanks pulled together a cast that also includes Taraji P. Henson, George Takei, Peter Scolari, Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, Wilmer Valderrama, Jon Seda, Nia Vardalos, Natascha McElhone, Maria Canals, Pam Grier, Rami Malek and Rob Riggle. The film is about how the hard knocks from today's recession inspire one everyday guy to undergo a personal reinvention. You can get a larger look at the image above, plus a longer synopsis for the film right here and you can check out the rest of the new images just added to the site from Universal's upcoming slate right here.

Kinda looking forward to Larry Crowne. Oscar bait, perhaps?
Same here. Reminds me of something like a comical "Up In the Air", which I LOVED.
Has an official cast order for "Dream House" been officially announced? If not, why "Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz AND Naomi Watts"? Why not in alphabetical order or "Naomi Watts AND….."?
Why should Ms. Watts always be slighted and snubbed and "….AND Naomi Watts" all the times? No wonder she is called the perpetual most under-rated, over-looked and snubbed talented actress in Hollywood, thanks to you people.
Man. Relax.
I saw your postings on the imdb-board and I can say that your fixation on naomi watts is not healthy.
Sorry, righting wrongs and pursuing justice and fairness is not unhealthy. The opposite is.
Oh for crying out loud,tThis isn't Darfur………..get a grip.
tom hanks finally back in a comedy role … should be interesting
Great to see Hanks back playing a character that isn't Robert Langdon. I've missed the old Hanks ever since The Terminal.
Larry Crowne – I think I'll need to see and find out a bit more for my interest level to reach above 'not bothered' and the same for Dream House.
Though, if it's shlocky nonsense it might be worth a friday night when it comes out. Even though I don't at all like Daniel Craig I like Weisz and Watts.
