From Henry Selick, the director of “Nightmare Before Christmas,” comes an off-beat tale of a girl (voiced by Dakota Fanning) who finds a secret door that takes her to another world. The film is based on the Hugo Award-winning book by Neil Gaiman and is filmed using 3-D animation. Considering Selick’s background with Tim Burton, expect this film to be happily askew.

Ellen PageSure, “Juno” turned Page into a household name but many saw the potential of this recently turned 21-year-old back in 2005 with an impressive turn in “Hard Candy.” A dark revenge flick about a teen who turns the tables on a pedophile, Page won over many critics even as the film never got more than marginal reviews. “Juno,” of course, put her in the middle of an Oscar race (much like Foster for “Taxi Driver”), and even moviegoers who see only a handful a films each year felt they knew her intimately. The intense media glare, however, never seemed to give the Canadian native a swelled head; she handled all the attention and acclaim with a sobering calm and maturity. She’ll be smart to stay away from roles that revisit her Juno persona — too cool or smart for the room — now is the time to figure out how to parlay that fame into a Foster-like lengthy career.
