Here's a quick look at how studios are putting new faces in old roles, bringing new life to old brands.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Anne Hathaway is Catwoman, replacing Michelle Pfeiffer who played the role in 2004.

SPIDER-MAN

Andrew Garfield replaces Tobey Maguire (2002).

THE BOURNE LEGACY

Jeremy Renner takes the franchise reins from Matt Damon (2002).

THE AVENGERS

Mark Ruffalo is the new Hulk, replacing Ed Norton (2008's "Incredible Hulk") and Eric Bana ("The Hulk" 2003). Third time's a charm?

SPARKLE

Jordin Sparks replaces Irene Cara from "Sparkle" '79.

TOTAL RECALL

Colin Farrell replaces Arnold Schwarznenegger's super-sized 1990 original.
