New Trailer for THE HUNGER GAMES Shows off Its Mockingjay Pin

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 2nd, 2012 at 10:18 am

A new trailer has gone online for The Hunger Games and it’s my favorite one yet.  It’s short, sweet, hits the emotional beats, has a little action, and gives us a good look at Stanley Tucci’s wacky hairdo.  The trailer also features the Mockingjay pin, which is the big icon of the series.

New Trailer for JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 26th, 2012 at 11:03 am

A new trailer for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island has gone online. The film is a follow-up to Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D sans Brendan Fraser’s zany antics. This new trailer isn’t incredibly different from the first trailer (except for the music), and the visual effects still look make the film look like Spy Kids: Dinosaurs! What this new trailer does have is Dwayne Johnson riding a giant bee. The trailer is preceded by an uncomfortable intro by Johnson and star Josh Hutcherson that’s saved by the duo’s charm and some pec flexing by the former.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film also stars Michael Caine, Luis Guzman, and Vanessa Hudgens. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island opens in 3D February 10th.

As fans of The Hunger Games novels know, fashion plays a huge part in not only the plot, but also in the appearance of various citizens and contestants in the games. Fashion is a central and essential facet of everyday life for the citizens of District 1 and the folks at Lionsgate want to make sure your wardrobe is up to par. On “Capitol Couture,” a new blog released by The Capitol (ie Lionsgate marketing), news from both the real and fictional worlds of fashion merge. 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.

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.

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.

Creative Team for JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND Attached to Possible JOURNEY 3

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: December 6th, 2011 at 6:47 pm

Apparently New Line Cinema is pleased with the team behind the scenes of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island because they’ve decided to keep the same group on board for a potential third installment. If plans for Journey 3 move ahead, director Brad Peyton will carry over, along with writers Brian Gunn, Mark Gunn and Richard Outten, and producers Beau Flynn, Charlotte Huggins and Tripp Vincent. This bodes well for the sequel (which releases on February 10^th) since we can assume it tested well over the weekend. The film, based on Jules Verne’s “Mysterious Island” follows Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) as he searches for his missing grandfather (Michael Caine) on an island crawling with dangerous wildlife.

New Character Posters for JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: December 1st, 2011 at 3:08 pm

Previously, we brought you the first trailer for Brad Peyton’s Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and a behind-the-scenes featurette soon followed. They both showed off the beautiful scenery and creature effects of the sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth, starring Brendan Fraser. Now we have some new character posters for you that showcase, not only the human stars, but other inhabitants of the island as well.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island features the return of Josh Hutcherson as Sean Anderson, who is accompanied by his new stepfather (Dwayne Johnson) as they head off in search of Sean’s missing grandfather (Michael Caine). To get to “Mysterious Island,” the duo will need the helicopter pilot, Gabato (Luis Guzman) and his daughter, Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens) to help guide them.  Hit the jump to check out the posters for each of these characters.

New Featurette for JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: November 16th, 2011 at 3:45 pm

Not long after the first trailer for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island hit the web, Warner Bros. has released a new featurette for the sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth. Though Brendan Fraser will not be returning, Josh Hutcherson is, along with new cast members Dwayne Johnson, Luis Guzman, Vanessa Hudgens and Michael Caine. This featurette highlights some blurbs from the cast, including Johnson giving us a rule for the island (“That which is small becomes large, that which is large becomes small.”), Caine’s thoughts on 3D and Hudgens revealing the use of the Jules Verne submarine, the Nautilus.

New Trailer for THE HUNGER GAMES

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.

HUNGER GAMES Character Posters Offer First Look at Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravtiz and More

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: October 27th, 2011 at 10:42 am

Fans of Suzanne Collins’ beloved book trilogy The Hunger Games are about to be very happy. This morning posters for almost all of the major characters from the books debuted for Gary Ross’ film adaptation. We’ve got our first look at Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, Elizabeth Banks as Effie, Amandia Stenberg as Rue, Alexander Ludwig as Cato, as well as some brooding looks at Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, Liam Hemsworth as Gale, and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta. While half-shrouded in shadows, they still seem to have gotten the looks of the characters down pat with Banks and Harrelson looking positively perfect as Effie and Haymitch.

For those unfamiliar, the story centers on Katniss, a young woman who must survive a televised fight to the death between her and teenagers from other the other districts of Panem. In the post-apocalyptic world of the book, North America is now referred to as Panem and is divided up into twelve districts that each specialize in manufacturing a specific good for the nation, which is all under control of the Capitol. It’s a surprisingly riveting book series, and it’s absolutely ripe for a film adaptation. Hit the jump to check out the posters. The Hunger Games opens March 23rd, 2012.

Teaser Trailer for THE HUNGER GAMES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 28th, 2011 at 8:38 pm

Lionsgate has released the first trailer for the film adaptation of The Hunger Games.  The movie is set in the future in the ruins of what was once North America and is now known as “Panem”.  The story centers on Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), a young woman who must survive a televised fight to the death between her and teenagers from other the other districts of Panem. You won’t really get any of that from this teaser trailer.  You won’t get much of anything except Katniss running through the woods, dodging fireballs, shooting an arrow, and a really good look at the logo.  This is not a movie that sells itself and there are plenty of folks thinking “Oh, great.  Another Twilight mixed with second-rate Battle Royale.”  They need to be convinced or at least intrigued.  This teaser plays only to the fans and as someone who enjoyed the book, even I was underwhelmed.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Directed by Gary Ross (Seabiscuit), the film also stars Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, and Donald Sutherland star.  The Hunger Games opens on March 23, 2012.

Two New Images from THE HUNGER GAMES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 8th, 2011 at 6:10 am

Lionsgate has released two more images from The Hunger Games.  As you can see above, one is another image of Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) rocking a bow and arrow and the other is Josh Hutcherson doing his best job of convincing us all that he was miscast as Peeta.  I’m not exactly sure what image would best convey Peeta’s attitude.  Perhaps a shot of him being interviewed by Caesar Flickermam (Stanley Tucci)?  But who knows if that part of the book even made it into the movie, and that raises another point: I’ve been saying that The Hunger Games is the anti-Twilight. However, it’s possible that it’s been adapted to appeal more to a love-triangle aspect, which would be disappointing.  Katniss isn’t a character whose existence is defined by what hot guy is madly in love with her.  I don’t want to see a Bella Swan who knows archery.

Hit the jump to check out the images.  The Hunger Games opens March 23, 2012.
