Yesterday, Sundance announced the line-up for their Premiere's category.  This is where the biggest films will play but not necessarily the best.  The best movies I saw at Sundance this year were Project Nim and Martha Marcy May Marlene and both have stayed with me the past 11 months.  But there's no reason great films can't be part of the premieres category (Win Win was terrific), and hopefully 2012 will have more selections that leave a strong impression.After the jump you'll find images for Jake Schreier's Robot and Frank (starring Frank Langella and Susan Sarandon), Michael Walker's Price Check (starring Parker Posey), and Rodrigo Cortés' Red Lights (starring Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro, Elizabeth Olsen, and Toby Jones).  The 2012 Sundance Film Festival runs from January 19 – 29th.Robot and Frank
