January 13, 2012 – Don’t Go in the Woods

Don’t go in the Woods (Distributed by Tribeca Film) is yet another youth thriller centering on a band. Heading out to a cabin for rest, recreation, and creative inspiration, this group receives more than they bargain for.

January 20, 2012 – Underworld: Awakening

(Distributed by Sony Screen Gems) is the fourth in the franchise in a world of vampires and lycans’ existence has been discovered by man-kind. These forces must ban together to fight a common enemy in the biggest struggle for both species.

We’ve been fans of Amanda Seyfried since her days as Lilly Kane, Veronica Mars’s dead best friend on the sadly short-lived show of the same name. She’s come a long way since then and has been very busy starring in several films,

On of them is the upcoming thriller Gone. In the film Seyfried stars as Jill Parrish who comes home from working the night shift to discover that her sister Molly has suddenly disappeared.

Convinced that Molly has been abducted by the same serial killer from whom she escaped just a year before, and that by sundown Molly will be dead, Jill embarks on a race against time to rescue her. The film also stars Wes Bentley, Jennifer Carpenter and Sebastian Stan.

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for Gone to arrive on February 24.
