Wait, they haven’t given out the Oscars for last year’s films and we’re already talking about 2012? It’s hard to believe another movie season is upon us — and even harder, at a time when Hollywood seems more addicted than ever to sequels, prequels and reboots, that we might go to the multiplex and enjoy something genuinely original. Here are some opening dates to circle (and maybe one to cross off):

Most anticipated event: “The Hunger Games,” an adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling young-adult novel, has its own degree of “Harry Potter”-esque anticipation. The dystopian-futuristic tale seems to have all the right things going for it. (March 23)

Most surprising event: Bruce Willis’ brawn meets Wes Anderson’s brains in “Moonrise Kingdom,” a story of young love set in 1960s New England. Willis appears alongside such Anderson rep players as Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray, as well as Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton and Frances McDormand. (May)

Most dreaded: “The Three Stooges.” Even when Jim Carrey, Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn were attached, this sounded dreadful. Now, it’s Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso, and it still looks execrable. (April 13)

Most intriguing: “Sound of My Voice,” Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling’s terrific psychological thriller about a mysterious cult leader and a pair of documentary filmmaker skeptics who set out to investigate her past. This impressive debut made a splash at Sundance last year. (May)
