Though Alice Eve spent six months in Los Angeles shooting J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness and only eight days in Brooklyn shooting 'Some Velvet Morning,' there's one thing they have in common.

A quick look at some of Fall's most interesting new shows.

The San Fernando Valley community mirrored in Samuel L. Jackson's thriller Lakeview Terrace is bracing itself for a wildfire set to destroy properties in their sleepy California town.

“A real movie.” That’s the phrase that one of my industry sources used to describe Eagle Eye (Dreamworks/Paramount), which debuts this Friday at 3,500 or so locations and on more than 4,500 screens. The movie reunites Hollywood’s hottest young star, Shia LaBeouf, with his director from the surprise hit Disturbia, DJ Caruso, and industry tracking is pointing toward a spectacular opening.

Nobody does dog movies quite like Disney. The canine gold rush for Walt Disney Studios began in 1955 with the release of the animated Lady & the Tramp, which generated a $93.6M cume in three separate theatrical releases.

There are five new wide releases this weekend along with an important expansion, but this three-day is certain to “go to the dogs.” Beverly Hills Chihuahua (Disney), is tracking through the roof, and it is a surefire box office winner.

Shia LaBeouf 's re-teaming with D.J. Caruso on Eagle Eye (Dreamworks/Paramount) has scored even bigger. The new high-tech thriller got a huge Saturday boost of almost 26 percent, and Dreamworks now estimates a $29.2M 3-day.

Samuel L. Jackson has opened at the top of the box office for a second time in 2008. His racially-charged, crooked-cop flick Lakeview Terrace (Sony) has opened at No. 1, as I first reported Friday night, with a $15.6M opening.

Samuel L. Jackson’s “scare tactics” in Lakeview Terrace (Sony) have put this Neil LaBute-directed thriller at the top of the box office heap for the three-day weekend.
