7500 stars True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten and Amy Smart (Columbus Circle) play a married couple on board a night flight from Los Angeles to Toyko on the titular flight number. Only they might not make it to their destination, as the plane soon becomes a hotbed of ghostly activity.

Well, Louis Leterrier’s crime thriller Now You See Me -- about illusionists who use their skills to pull off bank heists – shifted from January 2013 to a more-coveted March 15, 2013 release date. Seth Rogen’s The Guilt Trip, with Barbara Streisand, moved from Nov. 2 to Christmas Day 2012

That slow-tempo rendition of John Denver’s usually sunny “Leaving On a Jet Plane” is haunting. Who sings that? It really helps set the ominous mood as passengers board what might be a haunted flight.
