A few upcoming films have received either release date updates or title changes recently via Coming Soon + The Playlist. Here is a rundown on each:
- Fast Five, the recently announced fifth film in the Fast and Furious franchise will be coming to theaters June 10, 2011. Director Justin Lin, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker will return in the blockbuster which follows “Dom (Diesel) and Brian (Walker) as fugitives being pursued by relentless lawmen.”
- The SNL skit-turned movie, MacGruber will see it’s premiere at the SXSW film festival this month, but it’s official release has been pushed back to May 21 (to avoid the similar audience of The Losers on April 23rd). It will now go up against Shrek Forever After, a week before Sex and the City 2 and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time hit theaters.
- Zack Snyder‘s animated adaptation of Kathryn Lasky‘s Guardians of Ga’Hoole will still be released in IMAX 3D on September 24, but the title has been changed to the pronunciation-friendly, Legend of the Guardians.
- The Sundance premiere, The Runaways has been moved from March 19th to go up against the mammoth Clash of the Titans on April 2nd.
- Tim Blake Nelson‘s Edward Norton-starring Leaves of Grass has moved from the original date of April 2nd to March 26th.
- Finally, the Sundance hit Winter’s Bone will see a release on June 11th.
