Action, passion and glamour!Mia Wasikowska stars as the title character of the romantic drama "Jane Eyre." Focus FeaturesAfter watching Mia Wasikowska fall down the rabbit hole in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" and still manage to look gorgeous, how could we not be happy that she's returning to the 19th century for her latest film? Get ready for some serious period frocks when Wasikowska morphs into Charlotte Brontë's tragic governess Jane Eyre, in the character's latest big-screen appearance, March 11."No Strings Attached" starring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. DW StudiosYou're going to want to raid Natalie Portman's closet (and maybe "borrow" onscreen love interest Ashton Kutcher's clothes, too!) when you see "No Strings Attached" Jan. 21. In the film, about two friends who try unsuccessfully to have an emotion-free relationship, Portman trades her "Black Swan" tutu for a closetful of chic trench coats, party dresses and designer heels. Oh yeah, she also sports some scrubs in the rom-com -- but who wouldn't want to play doctor with Kutcher?"Lush" and "sensual" are the best words to describe "Red Riding Hood," the latest film from "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke. Amanda Seyfried plays red-caped Valerie, a local gal who aims to save her village from a killer werewolf.

This upcoming romantic comedy, based on Jane Austen's classic novel "Sense and Sensibility," revolves around two affluent Latina sisters who are left penniless after their father's death.

Robert Pattinson is back in his second period piece of the year May 12, alongside Uma Thurman and Christina Ricci as the dashing and dastardly heartbreaker Georges Duroy in "Bel Ami." Although R-Patz still looks sexy clad in full lace wigs tops and tails in the celluloid adaptation of Guy de Maupassant's 1885 French novel, we'd prefer it if he was more Edward, less scoundrel, thank you very much.Let them eat cake, you say? No problem! Eva Green is taking on notoriously extravagant, fashionable and socialite-esque French royal Marie Antoinette in "Farewell My Queen." Although this one-time Bond girl is about a thousand times more beautiful than Madame Marie ever was, we still can't wait to see the gorgeous 18th-century gowns she'll don -- hoop skirts, corsets and wigs aplenty -- before getting beheaded in the French Revolution, of course.Get ready to love Paris -- and French fashion -- in the springtime.

The devil wearing Prada would totally be proud!
