"Water for Elephants" (April 22)
Credit:20th Century Fox
Stars: Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon, Christoph Waltz. Director: Francis Lawrence (“I Am Legend”).
2010’s “Remember Me” was supposed to be Pattinson’s chance to prove his appeal beyond Edward Cullen, but that movie has already been forgotten by all but his hardcore fans. Now he has another shot in this Great Depression-era circus-set love triangle between a veterinarian (Pattinson), an equestrian (Witherspoon) and her animal trainer husband (Waltz). And if this one doesn’t work either, Pattinson’s next historical romance, “Bel Ami,” is due later in the year.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" (July 15)

Stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint.Director: David Yates ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1").
After 10 years and seven previous films, the boy wizard’s saga will finally come to an end in the battle-heavy conclusion to 2010’s “Deathly Hallows: Part 1.” Good thing Yates, who directed the last three films, knows how to deliver. By the time this opens, fans will have been waiting four years to see the exceptional ensemble cast tear into J.K. Rowling’s epic final chapters.

"X-Men: First Class" (June 3)

Stars: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, January Jones, Kevin Bacon. Director:Matthew Vaughn (“Kick-Ass”).
A prequel that goes back to the days when Professor X (McAvoy, left) and Magneto (Fassbender, right) were still allies. Featuring a talented ensemble cast and a director with established comic book credentials, “First Class” hopes to restore the luster this superhero franchise lost after the underwhelming “X-Men: The Last Stand” and “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.”

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part One)" (Nov. 18)

Stars: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner. Director: Bill Condon (“Dreamgirls”).
Sorry Bella/Jacob fans (is that Bacob or Jella?), our angsty heroine's heart has always been with cool vampire Edward. And “Dawn” is when the soulmates marry, get busy and have a little human-vamp über-baby. How much of these antics we'll see in part one of the two part finale is not yet clear. But fangirls are already quivering with anticipation at reports of torrid love scenes. (No doubt still safely within the series' PG-13 limits.)
