The Bucket List (2007) -- Actor Morgan Freeman talks to Harry Smith about his role in the new film "The Bucket List."

THE BUZZ: Jack Nicholson's bald head helped drum up some advance buzz for this Rob Reiner dramedy, which to us sounds like a globespanning Little Miss Sunshine told from the perspective of Alan Arkin's character (minus the drug habit?). Expect heartstrings to be pulled and an Oscar for either Freeman or Nicholson. And from what we hear, Reiner has finally made a great film again ("great" as in "emotional" ... "emotional" as in "Best Picture nominee") (?).

Director: Juan Antonio Bayona
Stars: Belén Rueda, Fernando Cayo, Roger Príncep (Full Cast)

THE BUZZ: Producer Guillermo del Toro played a huge part in securing the U.S. distribution deal and cushy release date for this ghost story from Juan Antonio Bayona, who apparently has spun something wicked out of a decade-old screenplay by writer Sergio Sánchez (who also penned 3993, a potential del Toro directing project (one of a half million)). Conjuring up comparisons to The Others, The Sixth Sense, and The Devil's Backbone, we hear the devil is in this orphanage's creepy details -- especially a sequence that involves a medium touring the home while in a trance. This one has ruled the Spanish box office, hauling in over $30 million and counting.

The Great Debaters (2007) -- A drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship.

THE BUZZ: Whoa, this feels like 2002 all over again ... Denzel gets into the director's chair for a true-story adaptation that's being positioned as an Oscar contender. We say Denz and producer Oprah should have shelled out for a name screenwriter in order to seal the deal. P.S. Wasn't Columbus Short supposed to be in this?

Persepolis [limited]

Director: Vincent Paronnaud Marjane Satrapi

Persepolis (2007) -- Trailer 2
Persepolis (2007) -- Poignant coming-of-age story of a precocious and outspoken young Iranian girl that begins during the Islamic Revolution.

THE BUZZ: Marjane Satrapi partnered with fellow comics artist Vincent Paronnaud to adapt her graphic novel/autobiography, which won the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Cannes Film Festival -- although it's already more famous for being denounced by the Iranian government and subsequently banned from the Bangkok Film Festival. Secretly, all we want to do is party with this English-language voice cast, which includes Sean Penn, Iggy Pop, and Simon Abkarian.

Update: The film trumped La Vie en rose as France's official submission for the Best Foreign Picture Oscar, and insiders, with apologies to the beloved Ratatouille, are saying this is the one that should win the award..

THE BUZZ: Walden Media caused an initial stir when they, along with Columbia Pictures, announced this project's first release date, exactly one week before Walt Disney was set to unleash Prince Caspian (also a Walden production). Disney huffed, then pushed the second Narnia installment to summer 2008 (there's one way to quietly deal with your script and other production issues), leaving the battle of the holiday box office wide open. Back in the fall, we thought this Bessie tale would have been eclipsed by the rays of a certain golden compass, but we all know how that instrument is underperforming. Looks like this broad family comedy will win out.

THE BUZZ: Brothers/visual effects wizards Colin and Greg Strause first made their mark with The Day After Tomorrow, but they became fanboy favorites with their work on 300, where the exemplified the kind of craftsmanship that brings execs calling with directorial offers. Do we need this film? Perhaps not, but we're convinced these brothers are destined to make us forget all about the artless affair that was AvP. But what's with this "predalien" hybrid (see photos here), and why does this sound like Feast without a sense of humor or the presence of Henry Rollins? And why not bring Sanaa Lathan back?

THE BUZZ: PTA let it be known to all that he had trouble finding his next project after Punch-Drunk Love until he adapted a scene from Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil! as a writing exercise. An entire screenplay soon followed, to which Daniel Day-Lewis soon attached himself. But we understand the film diverts from the novel somewhere at the halfway point ... does this mean we can anticipate firecrackers going off as a well runs dry?
