Oh, Hai ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Trailer

Wookie Johnson — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:14:43 +0000

Poor Loki. Not only is he locked away in the least ornate of Asgard’s prisons for eternity, but his bosses at the bank took his ideas and put them into practice without giving him a promotion. The bank saves money, and they are using him, and he is the fool.

Also, his adopted brother Thor wants to team up and be frenemies in order to save Jane Foster. It seems that Thor‘s bonehead idea of warping her to a dark, mystical battlefield has put her life in the type of peril that can’t be easily solved by throwing a hammer around. He’s really got to broaden his horizons.

‘The Hunger Games’ Gets The Bad Lip Reading Treatment

Though the words are completely wrong, this is still a far better adaptation than what was released in theaters.

Celebrate Child Murder With The ‘Hunger Games’ Trailer

Wookie Johnson — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:30:55 +0000

Lionsgate premiered the long trailer for The Hunger Games this morning. It’s got everything you’d expect. Attractive but terrified teens, the makings of a love triangle, and outlandish facial hair. Seriously, Wes Bentley. What are you thinking? Facial hair like that would even get you beat up in Williamsburg.

It does look like an impressive effort. We aren’t shown any kid-on-kid violence in this preview, but we are privy to the training sessions where children are taught the right way to decapitate mannequins. It’s all about your follow-through.

Peep This: Jennifer Lawrence In ‘The Hunger Games’

Wookie Johnson — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 11:44:04 +0000

Though Jennifer Lawrence couldn’t make it in person to feel Beyonce‘s baby bump at the MTV VMA‘s, she was able to send over the first clip from The Hunger Games. The highly-anticipated adaptation of Suzanne Collins‘ bestseller is currently filming but Lionsgate was able to drop a quick scene of Lawrence’s Katniss stalking around the forest with bow in hand. Ready to hunt or be hunted.

Meanwhile, co-star Liam Hemsworth provides a voice-over pep talk reminding her not to get killed. Then flaming trees fall before her at every step. Who is she hunting? Dragons??

More Pictures Of ‘The Hunger Games’ Dudes

Wookie Johnson — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 16:37:35 +0000

The Hunger Games continues to share its fellas and I’m afraid to say that we’re all going to have to pick a team. It’s the rules nowadays.

Yesterday we got our first look at Liam Hemsworth’s Gale and Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta via Entertainment Weekly. Today, EW has a few more looks. First, we see Peeta looking sullen at his crappy baking job. Then, there’s Hemsworth’s Gale with Jennifer Lawrence‘s Katniss. I’m mostly impressed that we haven’t been subjected to any shirtless pictures yet. But we can likely expect some flimsy excuses for getting the guys to disrobe. “Oops. There’s breadcrumbs on my shirt. Better remove it and step into this dramatic lighting.”

Here’s What Liam Hemsworth And Josh Hutcherson Look Like In ‘The Hunger Games’

Wookie Johnson — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 21:49:17 +0000

Entertainment Weekly got the first look at Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson in their Hunger Games garb. The actors play Gale and Peeta, the two guys who Jennifer Lawrence‘s Katniss will have a difficult time deciding between.

Hutcherson plays Peeta, a peer of Katniss’s who fights alongside her who may not be what he seems. Hemsworth plays Gale, her childhood friend who she has strong feelings for despite the fact that he tucks in his t-shirts. Looks like she’s got a tough choice ahead of her. Seems silly to me. I don’t know. Maybe it would be smarter to focus less on boys and more on NOT GETTING KILLED IN THE DEATH TOURNAMENT, DON’TCHYATHINK?

Liam Hemsworth Going ‘AWOL’

Joseph Gibson — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 23:21:08 +0000

You might know Liam Hemsworth from his performance in The Last Song. Or you might know him from his casting as the star of the upcoming The Hunger Games. But now you’ll know him as something else entirely: A draft-dodger. Hemsworth is set to appear in AWOL, a “romantic drama” from first-time director Danny Mooney about the anti-Vietnam-war movement of the 1960s, that’s based on a true story.

Not a lot of info on plot, but it’s probably safe to assume that it involves Hemsworth going AWOL after being drafted into the Vietnam war. Oh, and there will probably be a girl involved. I dunno, I’m no screenwriter, but I’m guessing they will also kiss at some point, probably at a 4th of July parade or something. (Deadline)

Donald Sutherland Elected President Of ‘The Hunger Games’

Joseph Gibson — Tue, 31 May 2011 16:21:04 +0000

As part of the effort to cast the nearly 2 million characters in the Hunger Games, Donald Sutherland has generously offered his efforts to the project. And he’s not just playing some rube, either – he’s none other than President Snow. Here’s a brief description of the character:

“Snow is the autocratic ruler of Panem who uses the violent Hunger Games as a way to maintain control”

Well, you know, whatever it takes to maintain control, right? I don’t really blame him for pitting teenagers against each other in fights to the death. President Sutherland is joining Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Toby Jones, Lenny Kravitz, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley and Elizabeth Banks in the cast. Hey, don’t blame me, I voted for James Garner. (Deadline)

Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Lenny Kravitz Play ‘Hunger Games’?

Geoffrey Golden — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 00:35:17 +0000

The Hunger Games is hungry… for actors. Not just ones you’ve never heard of, like Liam Hemsworth and Dayo Okeniyi, but also a few celebrities to compete for screen time with the teenage dystopian wastelanders. John C. Reilly‘s name has been bandied about, and now we’ve got word a few more big names have been offered roles:

According to new rumors, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz and Stanley Tucci have been OK’d for Hunger Gaming. In keeping with the tradition of naming everyone funny, Harrelson’s character would be Seneca Crane, the Head Gamemaker. He’d be like the Milton-Bradley of games where people die. Actually, that job sounds pretty badass. We don’t know yet who the other actors would portray.

Directed by Gary Ross, the film stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. (Vulture)

‘Hunger Games’ News You Can Now Use: Paula Malcomson Cast

Geoffrey Golden — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 02:37:54 +0000

Sound the Hunger Games alarm. There’s more Hunger Games news. Everyone, slide down the Hunger Games Fireman’s pole and listen up:

The Hunger Games is all about a group of teens with odd names you love and care about, like Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Prim (Willow Shields). But who gave them those goofy, post-apocalyptic monickers? I assume their mother, who it’s now confirmed will be played by Paula Malcomson from SyFy‘s “Caprica.” If the movies are like the books, and who knows if that’ll be the case, Malcomson’s character is worried about her children participating in the life-threatening Hunger Games. Even in the future, moms worry too much.

Other actors in Lionsgate‘s adaptation of the Suzanne Collins novel include Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and possibly John C. Reilly & Elizabeth Banks. Now for the deadliest game of all: waiting and reporting on more Hunger Games news. (Hollywood Reporter)

Official Bidness: Hemsworth And Hutcherson Will Go Hungry

Dave Horwitz — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 17:30:14 +0000

Congratulations to two young male actors I’ve never heard of for securing major roles in The Hunger Games! Josh Hutcherson has, as was previously hinted at here on Screen Junkies, secured the lead role of Peeta Mellark, while Liam Hemsworth will play the Baker’s son, Gale Hawthorne. The much reported-about film, about a futuristic game involving a fight to the death (sadly NOT a remake of The Running Man), will star Jennifer Lawrence, be directed by Gary Ross, and will start filming very soon. And if this isn’t the next Twilight, a lot of very rich people are going to be very mad. (Hollywood Reporter)

Will Hemsworth And Hutcherson Go Hungry?

Penn Collins — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 21:46:37 +0000

Having locked down an attractive white girl (Jennifer Lawrence) for the female lead in Hunger Games, the produces were left wondering “Where the white boys at?”

They seem to have found a couple in Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson. Hemsworth is currently the frontrunner for Gale Hawthorne, while Hutcherson is considered the man to beat for Peeta Mallark. Deadline reports that Hawthorne is Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) hunting partner, while Mallark is “the baker’s son.” Which I guess means that there’s a baker in the mix, too. No news on who might play that role, so I’m gonna go ahead and throw out John C. Reilly.

Josh Hutcherson is next starring in Detention with Dane Cook, so he could probably use this ego boost whereas Hemsworth is best-known for his on-again, off-again relationship with Miley Cyrus. This is gonna be the best movie…(Deadline)
