The unit will release just five films in 2010, the first year for which its projects had to go through the greenlight process via parent Warner Bros. It's got four romantic comedies -- "Valentine's Day," "Sex and the City 2," "Going the Distance" and "Hall Pass" -- and a relaunch of "Nightmare on Elm Street."
New Line began putting more comedies into the pipeline when it elevated longtime exec Brener to production president three years ago. Brener's probably best known for shepherding "Wedding Crashers," which grossed nearly $300 million worldwide six years ago.
For 2011, New Line will likely include more horror films in the mix, with "Friday the 13th," "Orphanage" and "The Rite." It's also got two comedies -- "Horrible Bosses" and "Valentine's Day" spinoff "New Year's Eve" -- along with a "Journey to the Center of the Earth" sequel and a musical, "Rock of Ages."
