A new image has been released from Lionsgate’s highly anticipated adaptation of The Hunger Games. For those unfamiliar, the story takes place in a dystopian future where a young woman must survive a televised fight to the death between her and teenagers from the other districts of Panem. Jennifer Lawrence stars as Katniss, our protagonist, and this new image shows her character being embraced by Lenny Kravitz’s Cinna. Fans of the book will recognize the significance of the image, especially the events that transpire immediately afterwards. Anticipation for the film is high, and we recently reported that the sequel, Catching Fire, may be shooting in Hawaii this fall.

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence to Star in Adaptation of Timber Empire-Thriller SERENA

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 30th, 2012 at 2:10 pm

Two of the hardest working actors today are set to retunite once more. Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, who recently wrapped David O. Russell’s The Silver Linings Playbook, are apparently set to star in an adaptation of Ron Rash’s novel Serena. Set in 1930s North Carolina, the story centers on a couple who move in order to build a timber empire. Their vicious, blind ambition turns them against each other as the sterile wife launches a vendetta against her husband’s illegitimate son. It’s incredibly heavy stuff, and should provide some fantastic material for the two actors.

Darren Aronofsky was previously attached to direct the project with Angelina Jolie in the starring role, but now Vulture reports that In a Better World director Susanne Bier is attached to helm. It’s refreshing that Cooper and Lawrence, who have had their fair share of commercial success, are still willing to do more dramatic, challenging material. The film is expected to be the next project for the busy Cooper, who is also expected to film Paradise Lost and The Hangover 3 this year. As for Lawrence, she heads back into training for The Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire this July. Hit the jump to read a synopsis for Serena.

Jennifer Lawrence and Director Gary Ross Talk HUNGER GAMES Sequel CATCHING FIRE; Film May Shoot in Hawaii

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 30th, 2012 at 1:38 pm

The release of The Hunger Games is still a couple of months away, but star Jennifer Lawrence and director Gary Ross are already looking ahead to the second installment, Catching Fire. Based on the bestselling book series, the story takes place in a dystopian future where Lawrence stars as Katniss, a young woman who must survive a televised fight to the death between her and teenagers from the other districts of Panem. Anticipation for The Hunger Games is at a fever pitch, and Lionsgate is already moving quickly on the film adaptation of the sequel.

Lawrence and Ross recently spoke a bit about the follow-up, revealing that training starts in July and they may be filming quite a bit of Catching Fire in Hawaii. Hit the jump for more. Beware, spoilers for Catching Fire (and therefore The Hunger Games) follow after the jump.

New Images from THE HUNGER GAMES and SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Featuring Kristen Stewart

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 26th, 2012 at 12:20 pm

We’ve got a couple of images from two highly anticipated 2012 releases to share with you today. First up is a brand new image of star Kristen Stewart in this summer’s Snow White and the Huntsman. It’s a close-up, so we don’t get to see too much of her costume, but it’s enough to appease the “KStew” fans out there. I was incredibly impressed by the trailer for the film, which takes a gritty and epic Lord of the Rings-style approach to the Snow White story.

Additionally, we’ve got a new image from The Hunger Games. This is an image that we’ve actually seen before, but this is the first time it’s been released in high quality. We see Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss showcasing her red dress alongside Hunger Games host Caesar Flickman (played by Stanley Tucci). This is the only look we’ve gotten so far of Tucci in character, but judging by this picture I’d say he looks spot on. Hit the jump to check out both images. The Hunger Games hits theaters March 23rd while Snow White and the Huntsman opens June 2nd.

There are posts about shoes from designer Alexander McQueen next to advertisements for The Hunger Games-inspired nail polish by China Glaze. A central figure for this blog is Effie Trinket, played by Elizabeth Banks. Whether you’re a fashionista or not, you’re going to want to hit the jump to check out the look of The Hunger Games.

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: January 19th, 2012 at 8:20 pm

We’re about nine weeks away from the much-hyped release of The Hunger Games. If you’ve somehow managed to go this long without hearing about the film adaptation of the popular young adult novel series by Suzanne Collins, you can get caught up on all of our previous coverage here. After all the trailers, images and promotional pages, Lionsgate has released one last poster to remind you that the world will be watching. As one of our most anticipated films of early 2012, we’ll be right there with you.

The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen in a futuristic thriller where citizens of different districts are forced into gladiatorial combat in which there can be only one survivor.

New Image from THE HUNGER GAMES Shows Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson Preparing for the Opening Ceremonies

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 19th, 2012 at 8:26 am

Lionsgate seems to be taking a piecemeal approach to marketing the highly anticipated adaptation of The Hunger Games. We’ve seen a few images here and there over the past few months, and this morning the studio has released a new image giving us a peek into one of the book’s more famous scenes. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are sporting their best future costumes as they ready themselves for the opening ceremonies of The Hunger Games. Their wardrobe is designed to be reminiscent of coal, and the costume department looks to have done a fine job here. We also get a tiny peek at Lenny Kravtiz’s Cinna, as he’s holding a flame curiously close to Lawrence and Hutcherson’s costumes. The film is poised to be a monster hit, and a screenwriter is already hard at work on the sequel Catching Fire, so expect Hunger Games mania to set in come springtime.

Hit the jump to check out the image. The film also stars Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, and Donald Sutherland. The Hunger Games opens March 23rd.

New Image from THE HUNGER GAMES Features Suited-Up Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 10th, 2012 at 3:03 pm

A new image from Gary Ross’ adaptation of The Hunger Games has gone online. The pic features Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson suited-up in their training gear as they prepare for the Hunger Games—a televised fight to the death between teenagers from each district in Panem. Two “tributes” from each district are chosen to compete, and Lawrence and Hutcherson star as Katniss and Peeta, the tributes from District 12. Matt, Brendan, Dave and I all chose the film as one of our most anticipated from the first quarter of 2012, and I’m really hoping Ross delivers on this feature film adaptation of the first book in Suzanne Collins’ wildly entertaining trilogy.

David O. Russell’s THE SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK Set for November 21, 2012

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 16th, 2011 at 9:16 am

The Weinstein Company has set the release date of David O. Russell‘s The Silver Linings Playbook for November 21, 2012.  Based on the novel by Matthew Quick, the movie centers on a former high school teacher (Bradley Cooper) who returns home after four years in a mental institution to live with his mother (Jackie Weaver) and win back the affection of his estranged wife.  The movie also stars Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Tucker, Julia Stiles, and Robert De Niro.  Silver Linings sounds like it could be awards material and now TWC can put “From the Oscar-nominated Director of The Fighter” on the poster.

The Weinsteins will probably take Silver Linings out for a spin on the awards circuit before its November 21st release.  Of course, the Thanksgiving Day weekend is always crowded and so far the date also belongs to Alfonso Cuaron‘s sci-fi drama Gravity, the family comedy Parental Guidance, the Keanu Reeves‘ action-adventure 47 Ronin, and the animated film Rise of the Guardians.  Hit the jump for a synopsis of The Silver Linings Playbook.

More Images from THE HUNGER GAMES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 16th, 2011 at 8:28 am

More images from The Hunger Games have gone online.  As you can see, one of the images shows Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteering to take her sister’s place as a tribute for the deadly Hunger Games.  You can also see that director Gary Ross and his make-up artists fearlessly used the books as their bible for the garish looks of Capitol citizens like Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks).  If you were wondering how to make Banks lose all of her sex appeal, you now have your answer.

I was underwhelmed by the new trailer, but I’m still eager to see more of what the movie has to offer, and I applaud Lionsgate for not taking the easy route by making the movie look like the next Twilight.  Hit the jump to check out the new images.  The film also stars Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Lenny Kravitz, and Donald Sutherland. 

New Trailer for THE HUNGER GAMES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 14th, 2011 at 7:32 am

Lionsgate has released a new trailer for The Hunger Games.  For everyone who was confused on the set-up and the premise, this trailer will get you up to speed.  Unfortunately, that’s about all it will do.  While it’s clear that director Gary Ross has not shied away from the garish fashion and make-up of the Capitol’s residents (I imagine some are going to be jarred out of the experience by Elizabeth Banks looking like she’s 80 and speaking with a British accent), there’s still no hint of the violence and brutality of the books.  I can understand why they would leave that out of the trailer, but I’m absolutely baffled as to why there’s almost no footage from the actual Hunger Games.  That’s the meat and potatoes of the set pieces, and I have no idea why they wouldn’t at least throw in some quick flashes of the action scenes. My best guess is that they’re still working on the special effects and didn’t have anything 100% finished to put into the trailer (or they’re saving those scenes for the next one).

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Lenny Kravitz, and Donald Sutherland.  The Hunger Games opens March 23, 2012.

Katniss Readies Her Bow in New Image from THE HUNGER GAMES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 8th, 2011 at 1:59 pm

I’m still a little surprised at how little we’ve seen so far from Gary Ross‘ adaptation of The Hunger Games.  We got some interesting posters a couple weeks ago, but with the holiday movie season about to go into overdrive, it’s the best window for a movie like Hunger Games to capture the attention of the holiday audience.  Instead, the latest image from the movie appeared in freaking Business Insider.  They’re covering the movie because they project it could make over $700 million due to the book’s devoted following and Lionsgate’s hope that their $80 million feature (the largest budget in the studio’s history) will translate into a major franchise.  The sequel, Catching Fire, is already set for November 22, 2013, but The Hunger Games has to succeed first.  Hopefully we’ll soon see more of the film than just “Katniss Everdeen uses a bow and arrow.”

Hit the jump to see another picture of Katniss Everdeen using a bow and arrow.  The Hunger Games opens March 23, 2012.
