The second batch of summer films is about to hit the cinema screen following the movie drought last month when all eyes could only focus on the World Cup.
The first high-profile Hollywood production to be released in Hong Kong is Superman Returns.
The film, of course, features the Man of Steel (Brandon Routh), who returns to Earth just in time to save everyone from his enemy Lex Luthor, played by Kevin Spacey in place of Gene Hackman.
Fans of Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will be treated to the trio's latest swashbuckling turn in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, to be released next month. A sequel to the 2003 blockbuster Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the film follows the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp), who owes a blood debt to Captain Davy Jones of the ghostly Flying Dutchman, which no other ship can match in speed and stealth.
Other mainstream Hollywood films due out next month include Stormbreaker, an action flick about a 14-year-old orphan who has been trained by his uncle to become a secret agent.
M. Night Shyamalan, director of The Sixth Sense (1999), returns with Lady in the Water, a drama fantasy that stars Paul Giamatti as an apartment building manager who falls for a mysterious woman - actually a character from a bedtime story - after rescuing her from the building's swimming pool.
Among this summer's animation offerings is Cars, produced by US animation studio giant Pixar - famed for The Incredibles, Toy Story and Finding Nemo - and to be released next week. It is an adventure comedy about a rookie race car discovering the meaning of life, which is more than just fame and money. The film marks the screen reunion of popular DJs Eric Kot Man-fai and Jan Lamb Hoi-fung, who do the Cantonese voiceovers for the lead characters.
