This year’s summer lead-ins: “Mission: Impossible III,” pitting Tom Cruise against supervillain Philip Seymour Hoffman “Poseidon,” a remake of “The Poseidon Adventure” directed by Hollywood’s king of the sea, Wolfgang Petersen (“The Perfect Storm,” “Das Boot”) the animated “Over the Hedge,” an animals-against-humans comedy from the makers of “Shrek” and “The Da Vinci Code,” reuniting Tom Hanks with director Ron Howard.Ī globe-trotting mystery, the adaptation of Dan Brown’s best-seller follows a symbologist (Hanks) and cryptographer (Audrey Tautou) racing to uncover clues about the murder of a member of a shadowy society harboring deep secrets about Christianity. Last year’s first big May releases: The historical snoozer “Kingdom of Heaven” and the forgettable comedies “Kicking and Screaming” and “Monster-in-Law.” LOS ANGELES – There’s something really wrong with Hollywood if it can’t get off to a better start than it did during the dreary summer of 2005.
