With the summer movie season coming to a close, most of the major motion picture studios are starting to focus on the next big movie release window that happens between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Most studios choose to display their upcoming film projects for the coming holiday season and the next summer at the San Diego Comic Con, though try as they may, studios sometimes can't get some of their films ready for the yearly media circus.
Such is the case here, where Warner Bros has just released a big batch of info to the press on their upcoming films, which will be released over the next few months.
Here some photos and synopsis for "Where The Wild Things Are", "Whiteout", "The Box", "Sherlock Holmes" and "Ninja Assassin":

Adventure. Innovative director Spike Jonze collaborates with celebrated author Maurice Sendak to bring one of the most beloved books of all time to the big screen in "Where the Wild Things Are," a classic story about childhood and the places we go to figure out the world we live in. The film tells the story of Max, a rambunctious and sensitive boy who feels misunderstood at home and escapes to where the Wild Things are. Max lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions. The Wild Things desperately long for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule. When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will be happy. Max soon finds, though, that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and his relationships there prove to be more complicated than he originally thought.

With only 24 hours to make their choice, Norma and Arthur face an impossible moral dilemma.
