Nick Romano — Tue, 14 May 2013 16:25:33 +0000

The new 'Catching Fire' poster finally gives us what we've all been craving, which is what the first trailer failed to deliver -- any look whatsoever at Ms. Everdeen back in action with her signature bow and arrows! While it doesn't offer up the more specific images we've been waiting for, we know Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss will conquer the arena just as she did the first 'Hunger Games'!

The first 'Catching Fire' trailer has finally hit during the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, following a slew of Capitol Couture character posters and one "teaser-for-a-teaser trailer" that didn't reveal very much of anything (other than that Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss is still PO-ed for having almost died in 'The Hunger Games'). With no more lame flaming Mockingjay symbols, check out the first actual footage from the new sequel.

'The Hunger Games' proved adept at keeping audiences excited by offering brief glimpses at the movie, and letting everyone know about every casting decision, so it's no surprise that the follow-up 'Catching Fire' is using a similar strategy. We're still more than seven months out from 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,' but it's just released two new images.

'Hunger Games' Star Cast as Raphael in 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'

Jacob Hall — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:31:27 +0000

No, it's not Jennifer Lawrence. There's probably something slightly thankless about playing one of the title characters in the upcoming 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' reboot, but don't tell that to Alan Ritchson, who has snagged the role of Raphael (you remember, the cool but rude turtle) in the upcoming film. Still, better to play the mutant turtle with the red headband than no mutant turtle at all, right?

'Hunger Games' Character or SuicideGirl — Which Does the Name Belong To?

Nick Romano — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 21:07:34 +0000

For those of you who don't know, SuicideGirls is a primarily online community that celebrates what it calls "alternate" female beauty.

These names sound familiar, right? That's because they blend in perfectly with the character names from 'The Hunger Games' franchise.
