Brief Synopses for Lionsgate’s Cannes Sales Including The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2, Draft Day, Venus In Fur, John Wick, and More
22 May 2013 8:38 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Cannes Film Festival, like most major film festivals, is where studios deal behind the scenes to acquire films, although Cannes has the added touch of also packaging movies (which is why we've seen so many casting stories) and selling existing properties to foreign buyers. Lionsgate managed to sell nine of their movies, and their press release contains brief synopses for each of the films. Some confirm what we already know, some provide new information, and some are Step Up 5 ("Fifth installment of Summit Entertainment’s successful Step Up franchise"). Hit the jump for the synopses as well as the cast and above-the-line crew. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2 (ColorForce, Lionsgate) Cast: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland Director: Francis Lawrence Writer: Danny Strong Producers: Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik Brief Synopsis: In Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2, we »

Lionsgate is celebrating The Hunger Games: Catching Fire at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
Stars Liam Hemsworth, Jennifer Lawrence, and Sam Claflin and director Francis Lawrence were on hand for the photocall at the Majestic Barrière.
Producer Jon Kilik, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairman Patrick Wachsberger, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairman Robert Friedman and Producer Nina Jacobson were also in Cannes to promote the film.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever. »

'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Has 'Majestic' Advertising in Cannes
14 May 2013 12:59 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Every year at the Cannes Film Festival, studios promote their wares on the fa?ade of the city's grand hotels. It's still a little early and everything isn't quite up yet, but the Majestic hotel was entirely decked out in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire advertising and all of it was multilingual with pretty much every language covered. The first thing you'll see below is actually visible behind the photo of the Mockingjay statue above. Once you click play on the video it's rather clear what you're seeing as the title of the film rotates from one language to the next above the door and the Mockingjay remains on fire on both sides. I'll have more pictures from around Cannes tomorrow (I'm heading to bed it's 10 Pm here and I've been traveling/working for 33 straight hours) so be on the lookout.

Brand New 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Poster

I'm not sure why Lionsgate would use their Instagram account to premiere the following new poster for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, considering it's a rather ugly little low-res version, but so be it. In addition to this poster, stay tuned as I have some photos for the Hunger Games fans out there that I just snapped here in Cannes... including a brief little video. But first, the poster... which, I don't know about you, but I'm getting something of a "Moses on the mountaintop" vibe from it. You?

CinemaCon Panel Decries Hollywood's Underserving Women, Chasing Young Males
2 May 2013 1:18 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
At CinemaCon, The Hollywood Reporter editorial director Janice Min assembled and moderated a terrific panel, "Driving Financial Success: Women + Movies = Bigger Box Office," including Geena Davis (see her video address below), who runs the influential Institute on Gender and Media, director Paul Feig ("Bridesmaids," "The Heat"), Nina Jacobson ("The Hunger Games"), Amy Miles (CEO Regal Entertainment Group), and Vanessa Morrison (President, Fox Animation Studios), addressing the myriad issues women have with Hollywood, both behind and in front of the camera. Clearly, despite all the evidence over the years showing how big hits aimed at women often are, from "Thelma and Louise" to "Sex and the City," the Hollywood studios would rather chase after distracted young men with violent VFX than continue to make modest-budgeted hits aimed at the underserved women's audience. Min started off by asking why the media likes to hate Anne Hathaway and Gwyneth Paltrow so much. Jm: It's a. »

Good morning!
Sarah Paulson attended the after-party for Trust Me at the Tribeca Film Festival with Amanda Peet and Felicity Huffman.
The next night she was at the screening of Mud.
Also at Tribeca, Evan Rachel Wood for the premiere of A Case of You.
Out Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson was part of a panel on Women in Film at Cinema Con over the weekend. When she was asked about the Fifty Shades of Grey film adaptation and if it was "the best or worst thing" to happen to women, she replied, "Female desire is a very complex subject." Snaps! Nina also accepted the Fandango Fan Choice Award for the movie Hunger Games.
A site called Business2Community has some ideas on how Lgbt consumers can best be reached. I hope Chik-Fil-a is paying attention.

CinemaCon: B.O. Needs More Femme-Oriented Titles Like ‘Bridesmaids’
18 April 2013 4:22 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Even with the undeniable successes of “Bridesmaids,” “The Hunger Games” and the “Twilight” franchise, Hollywood’s major studios remain reluctant to make movies aimed at females.
That was the common frustration expressed at Thursday’s CinemaCon panel, which included “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig, “Hunger Games” producer Nina Jacobson, Fox exec Vanessa Morrison, Regal Entertainment topper Amy Miles and Geena Davis — who heads the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.
Jacobson said the relentless pursuit of four-quadrant tentpoles has limited titles for women in service of pursuing the “easily distracted” young male demo.
“Franchise fever has squeezed out a lot of variety,” she noted. “There’s a lot of fear in the marketplace because of the high costs of filmmaking and marketing and the shift in home entertainment.”
Miles said that the decline in first-quarter box office stemmed from a lack of titles for women, contrasting sharply with the fourth quarter’s diversity of product. »

‘Inquest’, Spec That Takes ‘JFK’ Look At Princess Diana Tragedy, Bought By Wayfare Entertainment
16 April 2013 12:15 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Wayfare Entertainment has pre-emptively purchased Inquest, a spec by Sam Cohen. It’s sure to raise a ruckus over its premise, that the death of Princess Diana might have been premeditated. Based on true events, the political thriller is about a London investigator who’s hired to discover whether her death was a tragic accident or something more. When he begins to uncover a conspiracy, the gumshoe’s own safety is compromised. This possible version of events feeds into a theory that Princess Diana’s death was similar to whether Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone or was part of a larger conspiracy in the murder of President John F. Kennedy, which was covered in film with Oliver Stone’s JFK. This whole sale was a bit shrouded in intrigue. Sam Cohen isn’t the writer’s name. I’m told it’s Josh Simon, a former studio exec »

Paramount Eyes Robert Rugan to Helm ‘Children of the Lamp’ (Exclusive)
12 April 2013 11:59 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Paramount looks to have found a helmer for the long-gestating adaptation of “Children of the Lamp,” with Robert Rugan in negotiations to direct.
Based on the popular childrens’ book, the project was originally acquired by DreamWorks in 2007 with Nina Jacobson producing. When DreamWorks left Paramount and signed a distribution deal with Disney in 2009, the rights stayed with Paramount and the studio has since been trying to find a helmer.
As part of a series of books by P.B. Kerr, the original story follows a family of genies who disguise themselves as human, but suddenly obtain the ability to grant wishes.
Jacobson is still producing with David Guion and Michael Handelman penning the script from an earlier version by Lee Hall.
The project is still in early development but given how long it has been since there has been any news on the project, it’s a sign production is getting closer. »
