Movie Trailers, Movies Blog
[From MTV News] Don't be so sensitive, Josh Hutcherson! Or, actually, do. Do be so sensitive. It's part of what we love about you.
MTV News' Josh Horowitz sat down with the charmingly earnest "Hunger Games" star for a Sensitive Guys 101 chat. The two discussed the best kind of pie to cheer someone up, Hutcherson's extreme politeness standards, and how often Hutcherson has a little weepfest.
"There's the morning cry and then the shower cry at the end of the night every night," Hutcherson says. "At least two a day, depending on the vents of the day, it could be up to four or five, but two a day is pretty standard."
Check out the video above, or head over to MTV News for your morning swoon.

"Hunger Games" star Elizabeth Banks is extending her reach beyond the walls of Panem—and no, she's not running off into the forest (though that would be cool too). Banks has signed on to headline "What's the Matter with Margie."
Penned by Alan Ball ("American Beauty"), the dark comedy follows the story of a down-on-her-luck office-worker (Banks—presumably playing the titular character Margie) who, after years of being stepped on by colleagues and associates, finally snaps and resorts to murder as a solution to her problems.
Hmm. Well, we guess that's one approach, though maybe not the best. Get More »

'Hunger Games' Toned Down in U.K. to Nab Teen-Friendly Rating
Lionsgate
When a studio pours eye-numbing amounts of money into a movie, it wants people to see it — all people… not just us mature folks 15 and over.
Which is why it should come as no surprise that Lionsgate opted to make seven seconds worth of tweaks to the soon-to-be-released "Hunger Games" flick to lower the U.K. ratings bar from 15 to 12A (which is pretty much the same thing as PG-13 on this side of the pond).
So what did the powers-that-be edit or remove? Violence and injuries that contained a lot of blood — or something. According to Deadline, four scenes of violence and one scene that depicted details of injuries were cleaned up. Get More »

In a Post-'Potter' World, What's the Next Magical Franchise?
Scholastic
It was hard enough reaching the end of the "Harry Potter" series in book form. Knowing the end is nigh for the movies leaves us feeling a little empty inside.
Empty and extremely curious about what big, magical franchise will come out on top in a post-"Potter," post-"Twilight" world.
As we dry our tears – in some cases, literally – we look into our office crystal ball, consult a few aurors and shuffle our Tarot cards to conjure up six book franchises on the cusp of taking the world by storm. Get More »

Scholastic
UPDATE: The votes have been tabulated and the results are in!
Believe it or not, fans of "The Hunger Games" don't want to be called Hungry Hippos or Peetaphiles -- they want to be called... TRIBUTES!

------------
"Harry Potter" has decades-long Potterheads and "Twilight" its hardcore Twihards, so it's only natural that the vocal "Hunger Games" followers would end up with their own nickname now that the first movie's release is less than nine months away. Get More »
