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.
Larry Crowne hits theaters on July 1.
