George Clooney, Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr., Jim Carrey and George Clooney (yes, he’s starring in multiple flicks this season) are the themes for this holiday film season!

Get a preview of what’s coming your way by making your way to the Washington D.C. Film Society’s “Coming Attractions Trailer Night” for Winter 2009.

The list of trailers to be shown will be posted online closer to the event date but a few of the many possible films we expect to preview include: James Cameron’s Avatar—the maestro of Titanic goes for an action/adventure and sci-fi thriller rolled into one; Sherlock Holmes for a new generation with Robert Downey Jr. as the master sleuth, and Jude Law as Dr. Watson. Other previews might include: a new animated version of the Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, where Jim Carrey (or the voice thereof) plays more than one role; New Moon, the latest in the Twilight series; Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) brings us the adaptation of the novel The Lovely Bones and the Disney entry for this season is The Princess and the Frog featuring for the first time an African-American princess.

Hosts and film critics, Joe Barber and Bill Henry, will return for an entertaining give-and-take with the audience to analyze just how the studios market these films to get us off the couch and into a theater seat. The audience will also get their say by voting on which trailers make them the most (or least) excited about the films that are on the way.

Tickets: $8, starting at 6pm at Landmark’s E Street Cinema.

You get more than admission for your $8: lots of movie promotional items, movie posters, DVDs and raffles for movie tickets throughout the evening. For more information and updates on the trailers to be shown, visit www.dcfilmsociety.org
