Hi,
In most cases, this happens either as a result of a fuel problem or ignition. The timing belt also could have jumped or broken.
Here is what I suggest: See if it will start for a couple seconds using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, suspect a fuel-related issue. If there is no change, I need you to check for spark to the plugs.
Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Also, if you could possibly record it cranking and upload it for me to hear, I should be able to tell if it is a timing belt-related issue.
Let me know.
Take care,
Joe
