9. Prisoners
The Black List script turned Hugh Jackman vehicle hits theaters this September and early buzz out of CinemaCon (where Warner Bros. showed off some footage) is that it could be an early awards contender. The cast, led by Jackman, also include solid talent such as Jake Gyllenhaal, Academy Award winner Melissa Leo (
The Fighter), Terrence Howard and Paul Dano. But a great cast is nothing without a great story. As of now, not much is known about
Prisoners outside of its synopsis on IMDb. The film follows Keller Dover (Jackman) who kidnaps the man he feels responsible for the kidnapping of Dover's young daughter and friend. There's potential for compelling drama here and I'm hoping to see a trailer soon. The cast and positive early buzz so far makes this look promising.
