With the month of March coming up, a number of new films will be released and many Latino stars will be at the forefront in these pictures.

The month kicks off with "Bad Asses on the Bayou," starring Mexican-American actor Danny Trejo. The film tells the story of Frank Vega and Bernie Pope, who return to Louisiana in an attempt to find a kidnapped friend. The film will be released by Samuel Goldwyn and will likely get a big VOD release and limited theatrical release.

The following week on March 13, the Venice Film Festival feature "Cymbeline" will be released on VOD and theaters. The film stars John Leguizamo, Ethan Hawke, Ed Harris and Dakota Johnson and tells the story of a take-no-prisoners war between dirty cops and an outlaw biker gang. A drug kingpin is driven to desperate measures. When "Cymbeline" premiered, it received negative reviews with many critics complaining about the plot. The film will not get a wide distribution, so it will depend on the VOD release.

On the same day, "Run All Night" will also be released and the film stars Genesis Rodriguez, Liam Neeson, Ed Harris and Common. The action thriller tells the story of an aging hitman who is forced to take on his brutal former boss to protect his estranged son and his family. The film is being released by Warner Bros., which has given it a huge marketing push and it is expected to be one of the big hits of the spring season.

On March 20, Pure Flix will release the faith based film "Do You Believe?" The movie has not received a lot of marketing, but it is likely to be a huge hit among the Bible belt. The drama boasts an impressive cast which includes two Latina actors, Alexa PenaVega and Valerie Dominguez. "Do You Believe?" tells the story of a dozen different souls who are all moving in different directions, all longing for something more. As their lives unexpectedly intersect, they each are about to discover there is power in the Cross of Christ. The movie also stars Sean Astin and Mira Sorvino.

That same weekend, Javier Bardem returns to the screen after two years, joining Sean Penn, Ray Winstone and Idris Elba in Open Road's "The Gunman." The film directed by French director Pierre Morel, tells the story of a former Special Forces soldier and military contractor suffering from PTSD who tries to reconnect with his long time love, but first must go on the run from London to Barcelona and across Europe in order to clear his name. The film is being released in wide release and has been getting a lot of buzz ever since it was acquired at the Toronto Film Festival.

March 20 will also see the release of "Danny Collins" starring Bobby Cannavale, Michael Caine, Annette Benning, Al Pacino and Christopher Plummer. The movie tells the story of an aging rock star who decides to change his life when he discovers a 40-year old letter written to him by John Lennon. The drama will be released by the new distribution company Bleeker Street.

On March 27, the Academy Award nominated documentary "The Salt of the Earth" will be released. Directed by Juliano Ribeiro Salgado and Wim Wenders, the film documents photographer Sebastião Salgado and his travel through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever-changing humanity. The documentary seeks to show his new exploration on the discovery of pristine territories, of wild fauna and flora, and of grandiose landscapes as part of a huge photographic project which is a tribute to the planet's beauty. The movie premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard sidebar. Sony Pictures Classics will release the film in limited release before expanding.

Fox will release the animated film "Home" starring Jennifer Lopez, Jim Parsons, Rhianna and Steve Martin. The movie tells the story of Oh, a loveable misfit from another planet, who lands on Earth and finds himself on the run from his own people. When he forms an unlikely friendship with an adventurous girl named Tip who is on a quest of her own, the two go on a comic adventure.

First Pond will release "Man from Reno" starring Latino American actor Pepe Serna. The movie tells the story of Sheriff Paul Del Moralis who, driving home, accidentally strikes a pedestrian, a lone Japanese man. However, before an investigation can take place, the man disappears from the hospital without a trace.

If none of these films are interesting to audiences, March will offer "Insurgent" -- the sequel to "Divergent" -- and the Disney feature "Cinderella."
