Fall previews, 8/27.

In this week's fall preview issue of New York, Logan Hill profiles Christian Bale (3:10 to Yuma and I'm Not There) and Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises, "which Mortensen calls 'a well-crafted and complicated poem'"). There's also a No Country for Old Men Q&A with Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin, a quick chat with Nicole Kidman (Margot at the Wedding), another with Jodie Foster (The Brave One, another with Reneé Zellweger (Bee Movie), a just-as-quick guide to five of the season's politically tinged movies - and Bilge Ebiri mentions the New York Film Festival (September 28 through October 14).

Updated.

Only somewhat related to film but worth noting is Justin Davidson's preview of Carnegie Hall's Berlin in Lights, a series of events in November. "[O]n November 3, for instance, musicians re-create the music from the 1927 silent film Symphony of a City."

Blurbing well over a dozen movies, Newsweek previews the fall season.

Ray Bennett looks ahead to what September has in store for the UK.

Meanwhile, Dennis Cozzalio asks, "What are your thoughts on the summer movie season? Any big surprises? Any disappointments? And is there anything on the horizon that looks to shake up your expectations and pull you away from that ever-growing stack of DVDs that you haven't gotten a chance to see yet?"

Earlier: "EW. 'Fall Movies Preview.'"

Update: Online listening tip. At IFC News, Matt Singer and Alison Willmore "pick out ten films we're looking forward to in the upcoming months."
