Find out what films Kirsten Dunst, Lucy Liu, Mike Myers, and others are looking forward to this summer

Jeff Bridges (Arlington Road): ''I don't know, man, everyone's talking about Star Wars.''

Julian Sands (The Loss of Sexual Innocence): ''I'm not really a sci-fi person, so Star Wars isn't an issue. Eyes Wide Shut has to be the picture that's most anticipated.''

William Fichtner (Contact, Go): ''Star Wars, Star Wars, and what's that other one? Star Wars. Actually, I love the Austin Powers trailer. In fact, I will probably have a better chance of seeing that the weekend it comes out than Star Wars.''

Brekin Meyer (Go): ''Is there anything coming out besides Star Wars? Just kidding. I want to see Notting Hill with Julia Roberts because I'm a total sucker for her. I'll take my girlfriend.''

Jennifer Jason Leigh (eXistenZ): ''I'm going to Africa this summer.''

Lucy Liu (Ally McBeal): ''It's more about the actors who are working this summer than the actual movies. I want to get a dose of Ewan McGregor, Sean Connery, Julia Roberts, and a lot of others.''

Kelly Rutherford (Melrose Place): ''It's all about travel for me this summer. I'm visiting the Netherlands, Rome, all over Europe. I can't wait to relax.''

Ron Howard (director, EDtv): ''Star Wars. I'm also looking forward to Austin Powers.''

Elise Neal (The Hughleys): ''It's got to be Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. I loved the first one — I've seen it about five times and I'm still cracking up.''

Robert Forster (Jackie Brown): ''Wild Wild West. Have you seen the trailer? I remember the [TV show], and it was a favorite.''

Rufus Wainwright (musician): ''I'm going to La Scala in Milan to see some opera with my mother. If that ain't the perfect summer entertainment, I don't know what is.''

Taye Diggs (Go): ''Wild Wild West. I'm a fan of Will Smith's all the way. He gives me — all of us — something to aspire to.''

Omar Epps (The Mod Squad): ''I want to see Wild Wild West. I liked the preview. But basically The Matrix did it for me — that's 21st-century action right there.''

Kirsten Dunst (Dick): ''Austin Powers 2. I love Mike Myers so much! I'm not a Star Wars fan — I've never even seen a Star Wars movie, so this will be my first one.''

Sally Kirkland (EDtv): ''The Star Wars prequel. I have had many out-of-body experiences as a result of George Lucas films.''

David Cronenberg (director, eXistenZ): ''Riding my mountain bike through the woods.''

Melissa Etheridge: ''Woo hoo, Bruce and the E Street Band. And Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.''

Chris Tucker (Rush Hour): ''I'm looking forward to, what's that thing? The Empire Strikes? Star Trek? Yeah, yeah, Star Wars, that's the one.''

Lisa Nicole Carson (Ally McBeal): ''The sequel to Austin Powers, definitely. I tried the accent out, but I didn't do it that well. Loved the film anyway.''

Poppy Montgomery (Life): ''Having just done a Garry Marshall movie [The Other Sister], I would have to say Garry's Runaway Bride.''
