The City of Ember
When: Oct. 10
Who: Bill Murray, Saoirse Ronan, Tim Robbins, Martin Landau; directed by Gil Kenan
What: For generations, the people of the underground City of Ember have flourished in an amazing world of glittering lights. But the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker, and the elders don’t know what to do. Enter two teenagers, who go on a quest to uncover the city’s mysterious origins and solve the problem before it goes dark forever.
Kit Says: Based on yet another popular children’s book, Ember might just have to be our family fantasy fix for the fall, filling the void left by the rescheduled sixth Harry Potter. And in the hands of Monster House director Gil Kenan, you get the feeling it's going to be a visually stunning ride from start to finish. And then there's Murray in a kid film; that has to count for something.
