Cast/Vote: Who Should Play Plutarch In 'Hunger Games' Sequel 'Catching Fire'?

20 hours ago | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »

Now that the Suzanne Collins’ novel adaptation The Hunger Games is officially a box office success—and calling the first film in the franchise with a record-breaking $153 million opening weekend simply a “success” might be one of the biggest understatements of the year—all eyes are now focused on the sequel Catching Fire, a film that is already under dangerous pressure to keep up the success of its predecessor. Where part of Games’success and brilliance lay was in its casting, bringing in big names as well as turning small stars into huge ones, you can bet that upcoming roles for the film, including parts for Finnick Odair, Plutarch Heavensbee, Johanna Mason, Beetee, and more will be some of the most sought-after parts in Hollywood, as well as highly contested by fans.

'Perks of Being a Wallflower' release date: Emma Watson and Logan Lerman hit screens this September

25 May 2012 10:38 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Stephen Chbosky's highly anticipated film adaptation of his novel "Perks of Being a Wallflower" has had a long road to the screen. Shot last summer, the movie stars Logan Lerman and Emma Watson in the lead roles, with fan favorites Mae Whitman, Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd, Nina Dobrev, and Kate Walsh as the supporting cast.

Now, it's finally got a release date: Fans of the iconic novel can see it all play out on the big screen on Sept. 14, 2012. Written and directed by Chbosky himself, the film is sure to be a faithful adaptation.

Chbosky had to go to bat for the movie when it was originally slapped with a crippling R rating from the MPAA. After an appeal, the organization agreed to reduce the rating to a PG-13. They cite "mature thematic material, drug and alcohol use, sexual content including references, and a fight - all involving teens" for the rating. »

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower Lands Release Date

24 May 2012 2:18 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Stephen Chbosky's controversial coming-of-age novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower has been a must-read for teens since its debut in 1999. Set in the early '90s, the book unfolds the tragedy-strewn story of Charlie, an introverted high school freshman who channels his thoughts, hopes and fears into letters to an anonymous friend. Told entirely in this epistolary style, Perks gave a unique insight into its gawky teen protagonist's inner thoughts. So when word arose that Summit Entertainment was spearheading a movie adaptation, some fans feared the tender tale would suffer in translation to screen. However, Summit brought the book's author in to pen the screenplay and direct, which quieted concerns about a faithful interpretation considerably. Then came casting news that boasted such heralded talent as Melanie Lynskey, Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd, Mae Whitman, Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, and even the most cynical Perks lovers began to feel »

Two teaser trailers for Anchorman 2

22 May 2012 1:21 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Last week we saw the arrival of the first poster for the long-awaited comedy sequel Anchorman 2 - a.k.a. Anchorman: The Legend Continues - and after debuting in North America cinemas alongside Sacha Baron Cohen's The Dictator this past Friday, the official teaser trailer has now made its way online, along with an alternative teaser courtesy of FunnyOrDie.

Anchorman: The Legend Continues reunites writer-director Adam McKay with Kvwn Channel 4 Evening News Team members Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and Champ Kind (David Koechner) eight years after their last appearance in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Apart from the fact that the sequel will explore "the continuing on-set adventures of San Diego's top rated newsman," we know very little about the plot. There may however be sub-machine guns. And boobies...

Wes Anderson’s Next Feature Will Reunite the Director with Owen Wilson

22 May 2012 7:54 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Until Wes Anderson's upcoming flick Moonrise Kingdom, Owen Wilson had played a part in all of the director's feature-length films.  While the streak has been broken, their relationship will carry on with Anderson's next untitled feature.  Anderson has now told the Dallas News' Pop Culture Blog [via The Film Stage] that the movie will be an ensemble piece, he's written a part for Wilson, and the actor has signed on.  The script is halfway finished, but few details are known about the picture.  However, Anderson, who's currently spending some time in Paris, did tell Harper's Bazaar [via The Playlist] that "it’s a film I want to make in Europe, a Euro movie." Hit the jump for a list of other projects on Wilson's slate.  Moonrise Kingdom stars Bruce Willis, Tilda Swinton, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Frances McDormand, Jason Schwartzman, Jared Gilman, and Kara Hayward.  The film opens in limited release this Friday, and will expand wide in the following weeks. »

'Anchorman: The Legend Continues': Ron Burgundy returns in two teaser trailers

21 May 2012 3:30 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

The sequel to "Anchorman" hasn't even started filming yet, but the movie has already spawned multiple teaser trailers.

The Channel 4 Action News team -- the four male members of it, anyway -- will be back in 2013 in "Anchorman: The Legend Continues." The two teasers, which you can watch below, feature Will Ferrell, David Koechner, Paul Rudd and Steve Carell reprising their characters, with '70s threads and facial hair mostly intact. Christina Applegate, however, isn't around.

We are a little curious, though, as to when the sequel takes place. The end of "Anchorman" flashed forward to Ron (Ferrell) and Veronica (Applegate) anchoring a national news show, but judging by the continued presence of Ron's trademark red suit, part two will still cover the '70s.

But we're probably overthinking things a little. Better for now to watch these four guys be inappropriately funny while the Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius" plays. »

Witches and Cream: Two Anchorman 2 Teasers Arrive Online

21 May 2012 12:43 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

Despite the fact that it won't start production until next year and has no firm release date, a teaser trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues arrived in theaters this weekend prior to showings of The Dictator. After only a day, bootleg versions leaked online of course, much to the chagrin of Paramount Pictures we're sure.

For those who skipped the poorly shot, cell-phone bootleg, the studio has responded with not one but two teaser trailers featuring the Action4 news team of Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), Brian Fontana (Paul Rudd), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), and Champ Kind (David Koechner). While director Adam McKay and Ferrell have just started writing the script, the one-liners here should suffice for fans of the 2004 original.

I’m guessing that most of you didn’t see the teaser for Anchorman 2 that played in front of The Dictator, since, well, most of you didn’t see The Dictator. Luckily for you, the teaser has now hit the internet. Although it doesn’t reveal even the slightest indication of the sequel’s plot — since, well, they haven’t even started filming yet — it reunites the whole Channel 4 News Team. Anchorman Ron Burgundy; field reporter Brian Fontana; sportscaster Champ Kind; and mentally challenged weatherman Brick Tamland. It’s hard not to get a charge watching these guys back together — especially because, »

Update: Scroll Down for a Second Anchorman 2 Trailer!

Those who spent their weekend checking out Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest comedy vehicle, The Dictator (read our review) should have gotten a glimpse at the official teaser trailer for Anchorman 2 (a.k.a. Anchorman: The Legend Continues) – which does not even have a finished script, as of yet.

Everyone can now check out the domestic teaser for the Anchorman sequel online. Needless to say, there’s not a whole lot to talk about here, other than how it’s fun to see the original film’s main cast (Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and David Koechner) back playing their respective Anchorman personas – and spouting lots of absurd innuendo, to boot.

Here is what Anchorman co-writer/director Adam McKay previously had to offer, with regards to when the sequel will take ...
