Summer Movie Bonanza

Summer has always been Hollywood's most popular season for blockbusters.

Early Show correspondent Laurie Hibberd reports on some of the 120 films to be released in the coming season.

This year, it seems, will be the summer of the sequels. Making their way into theaters will be 14 sequels, whose makers hope to repeat the successes of the originals.

Here are some sequels:

The Matrix Reloaded: The super-secretive "Matrix Reloaded" has Keanu Reeves reprising his role of the "the One," Neo, and once again teaming up with Carrie-Anne Moss's Trinity. Laurence Fishburne joins the fun again as Morpheus to save the human race from extinction.
Terminator 3: Arnold Schwarzenegger is back for the ultimate good machine/bad machine battle in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machine."
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle Of Life: Angelina Jolie returns as the beautiful tomb raider, Lara Croft, for this action packed film.
2 Fast 2 Furious: Paul Walker returns for the turbo-charged sequel to "Fast and Furious." But this film, directed by John Singleton, won't have Vin Diesel.
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle: The heavenly trio of "Charlie's Angels" are back on the case. This time, Bernie Mac joins them as the new Bosley.
Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde: Elle Woods takes her Harvard law degree to Capitol Hill, as Reese Witherspoon stars in the comedy that hopes to equal its previous success.
Bad Boys 2: Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back on the job in the cop buddy movie sequel with lots of gunfights and chases.
Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over: The Spy Kids are back, and this time in 3D. Their third adventure has them fighting a villainous toymaker played by Sylvester Stallone.

This summer, however, is not only about sequels. Hollywood is teaming up some of its biggest stars in hopes of striking box office gold.

Here are some films with star-studded ensembles:

The Italian Job: Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton and Charlize Theron team up for a remake of the 1960s crime caper "The Italian Job."
Down With Love: Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor play a game of romantic cat and mouse in the retro romantic comedy "Down With Love."
Alex And Emma: Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson star as "Alex and Emma," a movie about an author who has 30 days to finish a novel and falls in love with his stenographer.
Hollywood Homicide: Superstar Harrison Ford teams up with rising star Josh Hartnett for this action comedy.
Bruce Almighty: Jim Carrey plays an ordinary guy who takes on God himself in this comedy, which also stars Jennifer Aniston.

Animation is always a summer favorite that provides children and their parents a film that everyone can enjoy. Here are a few::

Sinbad: Legend Of The Seven Seas: Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta-Jones lead an all-star cast of voices in the adventure animated flick.
Finding Nemo: Disney and Pixar offer their latest computer animated offering,"Finding Nemo," which finds a father fish trying to rescue his missing son.
Rugrats Go Wild: Nickelodeon's favorites "The Rugrats" team up with their channel mates, "The Wild Thornberrys" for the animated adventure.

Franchises are Hollywood's bread and butter, and hopes are high that some new ones may be launched this summer.

The League: The comic book "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" becomes "The League" in this movie adaptation. The high-concept adventure finds Sean Connery leading a team of literature's most famous crime fighters.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl: One of Disney's most popular rides becomes a big screen adventure as Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush star in this swash buckle ghost story at sea.
The Hulk: Ang Lee directs this movie about mild mannered Dr. Bruce Banner who is transformed into the larger than life superhero and villain.

Not all the films this summer will be filled with strictly action. Believe it or not, there are some quality dramas to watch as well.

Seabiscuit: Tobey Maguire stars in the summer's first genuine Oscar contender, when the best-selling novel "Seabiscuit" hits the big screen on July 25.
