An adaptation of the Richard Price novel, Freedomland features Julianne Moore as Brenda, a frazzled mother who loses her son in a carjacking and ultimately triggers a racial crisis in a New Jersey housing project. ''It's interesting in light of what happened with [Hurricane] Katrina this year,'' says the actress, ''because this movie is really about poverty and loss.'' Samuel L. Jackson costars as the detective unraveling Brenda's story. (Feb. 17)
