Official: Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth to join "The Hunger Games" as Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne

The wait is over, people! Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth are now set to play Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne in "The Hunger Games" movie adaptation! They will join Jennifer Lawrence who was initially cast as Katniss Everdeen the main leading role. Thus the movie production will likely begin shortly to fulfill its March 23, 2012 release date.

As previously written here, Hutcherson and Hemsworth were the top frontrunners for this role and it wasn't any joke afterall. Both beat out other top contenders which were favorited by The Hunger Games fans themselves, with the likes of Hunter Parrish of "Weeds" and Drew Roy for Peeta and Gale role respectively.

New "Super 8" TV spot is released!

Thanks to The Movie Box we have the first look of J. J. Abrams' "Super 8" third television spot! It shows some new footages that haven't seen before (browse all "Super 8" videos here), and it still looked awesome! This clip was aired during yesterday's Kid's Choice Awards.



What do you think happened to the guy who said "Do not speak of this"? I don't think he's the 'alien' though. But his face is full of scratches -- so he could be. Aren't you just so excited of this movie?!?

"Super 8" will come to theatres worldwide April 8, 2011.

Brandon Routh in "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" TV spot

This video actually released by Coming Soon on March 25, but honestly I just got the chance to watch "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" tv spot, and it looked hilariously terrifying! Brandon Routh stars as the famous comic book character Dylan Dog (which reportedly sold 60 million copies worldwide), a supernatural private eye who seeks out the monsters in Louisiana bayou (by monsters I mean vampires, werewolves, zombies... You name it!). See him on the teaser below:



I really hope this movie will look like "Zombieland" or "Shaun of the Dead" -- both were funny and scary at the same time! Directed by Kevin Munroe (helmer of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle" aka "TMNT"), "Dylan Dog: Dead of Night" also starring Sam Huntington, Anita Briem, Peter Stormare, and Taye Diggs. This movie will be released in April 29, 2011.

New "Thor" posters featuring Thor and Loki

I think Wonder Con is a heaven for all movie mania. I am not attending Wonder Con of course as I am now here in Indonesia, but only looking at the tweets of people there in Vegas -- the event seems to be really awesome! Besides meeting the stars of the movies, they also get to see some exclusive previews and attend the discussion panel. SUPER AWESOME, RIGHT?

And through the Wonder Con, Marvel finally released the latest posters of "Thor", in which we can see Chris Hemsworth as God of Thunder, Thor and Tom Hiddleston as God of Mischief, Loki, both in full armor.

"The Bourne Legacy" wants Jeremy Renner!

I am certain that most of you readers still remember about how these young actors are contending to get the title role of "The Bourne Legacy". But seems like Tony Gilroy, the helmer of all Bourne series, wants one more name to be added to the list: Jeremy Renner!

Judging from his Oscar-worthy performance in "The Town", I personally think Renner will be a great fit to this Bourne-kind-of-role. He's been starring in numerous action movies; "S.W.A.T", "28 Weeks Later", and "The Hurt Locker" to name a few. He also has a great part in upcoming "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol", and his biggest break would be the fact that he is selected as Hawkeye, the Marvel superhero who will appear as a cameo in "Thor" and the main role in 2012's "The Avengers". He was of course nominated as Best Supporting Actor in this year's Oscar. I'm sure none of you will doubt his talent by now.

Stay tune for more updates of "The Bourne Legacy" development! The movie is already set to hit theatres on August 3, 2012.

Now the title treatment of this movie is finally released, and that it will be titled "Resident Evil: Begins".

"X-Men: First Class" covers Total Film Magazine!

Special for those of you who are uber-excited for the release of "X-Men: First Class"! Four main cast of the film recently covered the newest edition of UK's Total Film magazine -- and it looked simply awesome! Jennifer Lawrence is all-unrecognizeable in her Mystique look, then Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy giving a very cool stare, and finally January Jones has her hair big as Emma Frost. Check out all photos from the magazine under the cut!

Lily Collins is the leading lady of "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White"

The rising young actress Lily Collins recently announced to play Snow White in "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White", directed by Tarsem Singh. Previously, it was announced that Armie Hammer will play the Prince while Saoirse Ronan was in talks to play his leading lady, but seems that Ronan is no longer attached to this project.

As much as I love Ronan, I realized that the age difference between her and Hammer would be a problem. She is a 17-years-old with petite baby face figure while Hammer is 24 and 6'5" -- that would be somehow strange. Collins, in the other hand, is 22 and seems to look mature enough. I think it's a pretty great choice for this part. Agree? (Plus, it means that Ronan still has a chance to star in "The Hobbit", which I've been wanting since the news of her joining the cast has spread!)

Here it is: the 4 minutes footage of "Green Lantern"!

As I have tweeted yesterday, the four minutes footage of "Green Lantern" which was screened in Wonder Con is finally online! We are so lucky to get to watch this video in HD. Check it out below:



At the Wonder Con, "Green Lantern" producer Donald De Line said that 80% of the visual effects are done by now, and that they still have 2 more months to finish it. This movie will rely much on the effects -- as we can see the awesome video below. Don't know about the substance though.

"Green Lantern" will hit theatres on June 17, starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, and Geoffrey Rush.

Leighton Meester joins Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg in "I Hate You Dad"

One of my favorite tv star Leighton Meester officially joins the cast of romantic comedy "I Hate You Dad". The movie tells about "a dad who moves in with his son on the eve of the son's wedding, and proceeds to immediately begin a feud with his future daughter-in-law." Adam Sandler is the dad, Andy Samberg is the son, while Meester will of course play the future wife/daughter-in-law. This film will be directed by Sean Anders and John Morris, and written by David Caspe, David Wain, and Ken Marino.

Besides the popular series "Gossip Girl", Meester has been involved in movie productions since last and earlier this year. Last year she appeared in thriller "The Roommate" where she became an obsessed best friend of Minka Kelly, and then a Golden Globe nominated movie "Country Strong" where she lent her voice to sing the movie soundtracks. She starred alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, and Garrett Hedlund in the latter.

As much as I love Meester in the Blair Waldorf persona (and clothes!), I am pleased to see her crawl trying to play different characters. We all know she has the talent, it's time for her to show it off! :D

Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth have one step closer to star in "The Hunger Games"

The front runners of "The Hunger Games" two leading men, Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne, are reportedly announced to be Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth respectively, according to Deadline. However this is not official yet, since the studio hasn't stated any official announcement regarding to this news. Lucky you Jennifer Lawrence, two hot guys are coming your way!

Lawrence was initially cast first as Katniss Everdeen, the leading lady. Gale is Katniss' good friend and hunting partner, while Peeta is more of a love interest. I personally fond of these two front-runners, Hutcherson and Hemsworth seem to be fit for the roles. In the other hand I am actually questioning about Alex Pettyfer's involvement in this coveted casting call, since he was not in the list of actors tested with Lawrence at the end of last month.

"Rock of Ages" gets its leading man: Diego Gonzalez Boneta

ETA: Big whoops! Director Adam Shankman recently confirmed from his Twitter that Diego Boneta hasn't been cast as Drew Boley because the studio is still opening an audition for this leading role. But he did say that Boneta came to audition. Stay tune for more follow ups for this project!

After opening a wide casting calls earlier this year, "Rock of Ages" movie which is adapted from the popular Broadway with the same title, finally got its leading man. Let me introduce you to Diego Gonzalez Boneta, who will play Drew Boley. As a girl the first time I saw his photo on the internet I went, "WOW!" (I mean he's obviously very handsome!), and apparently this guy has been appearing in a bunch of popular television shows which most teenagers won't miss.

Boneta, the 20 years old Mexican actor, started out his showbiz career as a child singer. He first caught the tweens' eyes through "90210" series, in which he played Javier Luna, a pop-singer who died in a car wreck (FYI, he sang all of the songs by himself!). And now he currently have a recurring role in yet another series "Pretty Little Liars" as Alex Santiago, a hardworking salsa dancing cook.

Steve Carell will star in "Seeking A Friend For The End of The World", Keira Knightley is attached to join

After leaving his famous television series "The Office", Steve Carell is now heading to the 'end of the world' (well, not literally) in his newest project. "Seeking A Friend For The End of The World" takes place when an incoming asteroid will destroy humanity.

Carell will play the leading role, a man left by his wife in panic who's looking for his one true love when he finds out that his high school sweetheart says she wants to be with him when the world stops. He then goes for a road trip with his beautiful neighbor, who eventually falls in love with him (and each other). But don't worry, it doesn't mean that Carell will leave his comedy world, since this movie will be somewhat 'comic' and romantic despite its 'doomsday' background.

My favorite actress ever Keira Knightley is currently in negotiations to join Carell in this film, playing his adventurous neighbor, but there's no confirmation yet about her involvement.

Sam Claflin and Alicia Vikander cast in "The Seventh Son"

British and Swedish newcomers, Sam Clafin and Alicia Vikander, reportedly land the lead roles in "The Seventh Son". This film will be adapted from Joseph Delaney's fantasy novel with the same title, about a 13-years-old boy who is the seventh son of a seventh son learning about wizardry from a forbidding spook.

Claflin and Vikander will play Tom and Alice respectively, while Jeff Bridges has landed the Spook role earlier, while Julianne Moore is still in talks to play the witch. Alex Pettyfer and Jennifer Lawrence were previously the front-runners for the role of Tom and Alice, but it is now unlikely that they will join the project.
