The Fringe: The Hunger Games Coming to DVD, Blu-ray This August
23 May 2012 6:53 AM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
The Fringe is a place where non-horror genre films can get some play on Shock. These films might be sci-fi, fantasy or action - and certainly contain some horror elements - but will likely be light on scares, or, straight-up "horror." Still, they might be of interest to you.
A Blu-ray and DVD release date has been locked in for The Hunger Games. You know, that monster hit released earlier this year starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson? Well, it's coming home on August 18th and EW scored the early word on what we can expect in the way of bonus features.
The site says, "The two-disc set will include over three hours of unreleased material, with features that provide insight into how the film was made, interviews with the cast and crew, and details about some of the story lines that differed from the book -- like President Snow's »

Title Revealed For Terrence Malick’s Next Film With Ben Affleck & Rachel McAdams
15 May 2012 5:38 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
While he’s set to shoot two films back-to-back this summer and fall, Terrence Malick also has another film in the can and after going through some possible titles, including The Burial, it looks like the romantic drama has finally got it’s official name. The official Classifications & Rating Administration has revealed the name to be To the Wonder and it’s rating of R for “some sexuality/nudity.”
While we have no details on what that title actually refers to, this classification is a promising one, as it usually means the film is in its final stages of completion. It does state a 2012 release, but those are normally just thrown in there as a guess. Hopefully we’ll hear more when it likely hits the Cannes marketplace for buyers. Check out a synopsis of the film which stars Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz, Barry Pepper, »

Kate Beckinsale is back as the death dealing vampire Selene in Underworld: Awakening. The film manages to be entertaining, but fails to capture the magic of the first Underworld or the monster-mash fun of the second entry in the franchise. Directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein (the directors behind the 2010 thriller Shelter) and written by Len Wiseman(who brought us the first Underworld in 2003 and has had a hand in all the sequels), John Hlavin, J. Michael Straczynski, and Allison Burnett, the film stars Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley, Sandrine Holt, Wes Bentley, Charles Dance, and Kris Holden-Ried.

The Hunger Games Gets Spoof The Starving Games
10 May 2012 5:04 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Cinematic terrorists Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, known for such classic film deconstruction visual essays as Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie, Vampires Suck, and the upcoming The Biggest Movie of All Time 3D, are reuniting for yet another spoof of pop culture, this time taking aim at The Hunger Games.
Called The Starving Games, the film will follow the same basic plot of this year's blockbuster while weaving in jokes about Marvel's The Avengers, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2.
The main plot will revolve around a group of obese teenagers forced to eat to the death at a Las Vegas buffet by a government who feels fat kids are out of control. Of course, we will be greeted by characters like Fatniss Evereat and Pita Limon Meringue. Maybe Meat Loaf will make an appearance as himself.

Wes Bentley talks '3 Nights in the Desert' -- Exclusive First Look
9 May 2012 2:40 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Wes Bentley impressed in The Hunger Games as the gamemaker Seneca Crane, a character whose villainy was matched only by his absurd facial hair. Bentley looks scruffier in the upcoming indie film 3 Nights in the Desert, where he plays a musician who’s gone off his rocker. We have to ask: Is kooky facial hair written into his contracts now? The actor says, “I’ve always been able to grow facial hair since I was 15. I’ve always thought, ‘I really gotta use my facial hair for characters.’ It’s starting to work.” If you got it, flaunt it.

12 Lessons Future Book-to-Film Adaptations Can Learn From 'The Hunger Games'
9 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
"The Hunger Games" movie has done more than just give us the braided badass Katniss Everdeen on-screen: it's also served up a useful "How To" guide for future book-to-film adaptations on a Panem-sized platter.
We've come up with 12 basic lessons to be drawn from "The Hunger Games" by anyone looking to create the next book-based blockbuster, and following these closely might just mean the difference between hitting the mark dead center and, well, being laughed at after a shoot and a miss.
Lesson #1 - Go For a Property With Real Movie Potential
Just because a book is popular doesn't always mean it's movie material. "The Hunger Games" boasted a plethora of desirable traits for a good movie — action, romance, suspense, drama, twists, turns, you name it — and that came through on-screen. If the book's not edge-of-your-seat or otherwise all-consuming, a movie based upon it will probably fall flat.
Lesson #2 - Involve the Author, »

Revenge's Gabriel Mann Joins The Cast Of Chavez
8 May 2012 6:43 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Gabriel Mann's Revenge character Nolan Ross might spend his summer lounging by his infinity pool, sipping drinks, counting his money and scheming with his dear friend Emily. It looks like Gabriel Mann, on the other hand, will be filling his summer days, at least in part, working on the independent film Chavez. Currently in pre-production in Sonora, Mexico is Diego Luna's indie drama Chavez, which tells the story of Latino civil rights activist Cesar E. Chavez and his strides to obtain basic human rights for farm workers in California, which includes organizing the largest non-violent protest in U.S. history. In addition to Michael Pena, who's set to star in the film, the cast includes America Ferrera, Rosario Dawson, Wes Bentley and Michael Cudlitz. Joining them, according to Variety, is Gabriel Mann, who's set to play John Giumarra Jr., "who along with his farm-owning father, opposed Chavez's »

American Pie: Reunion – review
4 May 2012 2:45 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The teen babes and the Milfs are back, but the fourth film in the franchise struggles with reality
I first heard about this when it was billed with the Us title American Reunion; a glance at the publicity still showing Mena Suvari whooshed my memories back to those blue remembered hills of 1999, all that teen sexiness, the embarrassment of that dad taking an inappropriate sexual interest. What would this much-hyped "reunion" bring, 14 years on? What would Mena be doing? Would Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening be divorced by now? Will a grownup and balding Wes Bentley, working in insurance, admit that his video of a plastic bag blowing in the wind really was fantastically pretentious and annoying? Will Thora Birch … wait. Actually, what the heck happened to Thora Birch?
But no. It's a reunion of that other zeitgeisty classic from 1999, American Pie, and this comedy plays out as if they »

Wes Bentley Moves from 'Hunger Games' to 'Chavez'
3 May 2012 9:34 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
There's pretty much nothing Hollywood loves more than a comeback, which is why it's no surprise that Hollywood is loving Wes Bentley right now. (And, we gotta say, we're loving him too.)
The "American Beauty" star, who nearly fell off the Tinseltown grid due to a drug addiction only to resurface as the all-powerful Seneca Crane in "The Hunger Games," has landed yet another stellar role — this time in "Chavez."
The Diego Luna-directed biopic tells the story of labor-activist Cesar E. Chavez as he organizes the largest non-violent protest in U.S. history to accomplish his goal of obtaining basic human rights for over 50,000 farm workers in California. Michael Pena is set to star as the titular lead, with America Ferrera and Rosario Dawson as Chavez's wife Helen and political aide Dolores Huerta, respectively, Indie Wire reports.
Bentley, meanwhile, will take on the part of fearless attorney Jerry Cohen, »
