2006 Movie Preview

Studio execs are hoping to lure audiences back into theaters this year with a slew of big budget releases. After last year's dismal box office results, the studios are counting on a blonde James Bond, the return of the Mutants in "X3," and the revival of the "Superman" film franchise to help pull people off their comfy couches and away from their expensive home theater systems.

These 15 movies showcased in this 2006 preview aren't necessarily the same films we'll be discussing at the end of the year (in other words, these aren't awards-bait), but they are a sampling of the most talked about movies hitting movie theaters during the next 12 months.
