A lot of the shots are exactly the same – the bit at the Reaping, where Lawrence replaces her sister as Tribute, is much as it was, although we get to see her passing over the medallion which is also the film’s logo. Then it’s just a couple more training montages, a sparkly dress and we’re off!

…yep. That’s it. Don’t get us wrong, we like the trailer a lot – it’s just so similar to the one from November or whenever. We’re hoping that there’s so little new footage because any more would risk spectacular spoilers!

Will you be seeing The Hunger Games? Let us know below!

1997′s Jackie Brown, starring DeNiro and Samuel L Jackson (alongside Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda and Michael Keaton), was adapted by Tarantino from Leonard’s novel Rum Punch. Switch, which is set fifteen years before the events of Rum Punch, features DeNiro’s old character Louis Gara, a career criminal, and Jackson’s gun runner Ordell Robbie. Yasiin Bey (who apparently doesn’t want to be called Mos Def any more) is to take over the role of Robbie in Schechter’s adaptation, which is apparently keeping its name.

We don’t know much more about the film, but The Switch‘s Amazon entry has this to say:

Black Ordell Robbie and white Louis Gara have lots in common – time in the same gaol, convictions for auto theft, and a grand plan. They’re going to snatch the wife of a Detroit developer and collect some easy ransom money. At least that’s what they think…What they haven’t figured on is the fact that the husband has a secret mistress and has absolutely no desire to get his wife back. So now it’s time for Plan B. With the help of one seriously ticked-off housewife they are going to take the scumbag for everything he’s got…

That actually sounds quite good. We’ll read The Switch over the weekend and get back to you!

Have you read The Switch? What do you think of Hawkes’ and Bey’s casting? Let us know below!

According to Deadline Hugh Grant walked out of a script meeting after citing problems with the story, and it was looking less and less likely that shooting would begin at all after the film had been unceremoniously dumped by director Paul Feig. But to be honest, the core team is still pretty darn strong – it sounds like both Colin Firth and Renee Zellweger are still desperate to get started, and new director Peter Cattaneo (of The Full Monty fame) is actually a much better fit for the project anyway.

So when will we know for certain? Probably only when the cameras start to roll. Without a third novel to base the film on, (and considering the lack-lustre sequel), we’re still pretty wary of the idea of a third outing for Silly Bridget. At the end of the day, do we want to see yet another comedy fight between Oscar Winner Colin Firth and Best Days Are Behind Him Hugh Grant? Well… yes. We’re pretty easy to please, when it comes down to it.

The images show overrated meatsack Sam Worthington frowning in a variety of different lights, as well as Rosamund ‘I swear I used to be a proper actress’ Pike clutching desperately at a sword with the presumable intention of ramming it into her abdomen.

Click the pictures to make them endlessly, pointlessly bigger:

Well, that was underwhelming. Wrath of the Titans is out at some point this year, and if all you bastards hadn’t gone to see the last one despite it being utter garbage then maybe this wouldn’t have happened. Do you know what they’ve done to Bill Nighy? They’re making him play Hephaestus. Bill Nighy! Hephaestus! You make us sick.

So it’s.. ‘Ghosts on a Plane’? ‘Demons on a Plane’? ‘Things Hiding in Various Types of Storage.. on a Plane’? Though this trailer does adhere to a few cliches – breathy lady version of a popular song, remarkably familiar font – it does manage to avoid the most heinous by giving pretty much nothing away. Other than having our interest piqued, what have we learnt?

1. Amy Smart will never age
2. Pretty much all the boarding informartion for Flight 7500
3. There are scary bits
4. The whole thing may well be caused by that guy not turning his phone off

And that’s pretty much it. So what now? I GUESS WE’LL HAVE TO GO SEE IT AND FIND OUT WONT WE ARGHHHHHHH.

There are also whispers that he wants Liam Neeson in a supporting role – first badger? Second, female badger? Lest we forget, the last time Neeson And Crowe teamed up for a project the result was the desperately underwhelming The Next Three Days, but with Neeson’s Grey success and Russell Crowe not grabbing anyone by the throat for a while now, it might be that the tide is turning in Noah‘s favour. As it were.

Nothing’s confirmed yet, so take at as jovial hearsay for now. But it will be interesting to see what Aronofsky does with a mega-budget; we know he’s very well suited to smaller films like the wonderful Pi and Requiem , will more money dilute or intensify his brand of creative genius? Let’s find out, BIBLE STYLE.

Nice try Scotty. You might have had us fooled with Spencer, but we know for a FACT that Katherine Hepburn was gay… oh. Oh you’re saying she WAS gay and you helped her find lesbian lovers? S’cool then. You carry on.

Apparently, the first time the well-greased gas attendant / sex slave met Hepburn, she was sporting a suit and very short hair. All this despite the fact that her agents had been pleading with her not to advertise the fact that she was gay.

Bowers claimed that Hepburn approached him with the following line:

“I know your reputation, Scotty. When you get a chance, do you think you can find a nice, young dark-haired girl for me? Someone that’s not too heavily made-up.”

Of course, the pair hit it off straightaway and remained pals for the next 50 years. Nowadays, however, keeping secrets isn’t quite as well-paid as publishing them all in a novel, and Bowers now claims he fixed Katherine up with more than 150 women. Ladette.

Next thing you know, his novel will be a biopic. Everybody loves biopics at the moment. And it’s a SEXY biopic too; move over Lovelace, you have major competition de futuro.

Are you going to read Bowers’ Full Service and find out all his sexy sexy secrets? YEAH YOU ARE!

Firth will play Ronald L Lax, the private investigator who worked pro bono on behalf of the Three after he became convinced of their innocence. Lax found potentially damning DNA evidence which suggested that victim Stevie Branch’s stepfather Terry Hobbs (husband of Witherspoon’s character Pam) was present at the crime scene, although Hobbs has never been officially charged with involvement in the murders.

Interestingly, the new DNA (a hair tied into one of the knots used to secure the victims) was not discovered until 2007; we had previously assumed that Devil’s Knot would be set at the time of the murders, but based on this new information we may be mistaken. More on that conundrum as we get it!

Devil’s Knot is due to start shooting this summer. Who do you think did it?

In celebration of the film’s success, Mondo have commisioned Ken Taylor (known for his bitchin’ rock posters) an official alternative poster, one that completely blows the first, rather lack-lustre attempt out of the water. Look at it. Just look at it:

And the best part is that the clever Mondo folk are well aware of how valuable this print is going to be, announcing that extra copies printed in 24″ x 36″ will be sold online starting Thursday, February 2nd. Follow @mondonews on Twitter to be in with a (very, very small) chance of getting your sweaty hands on one. Sigh. Why isn’t all big budget movie advertising this good?

We wrote a while back that the adaptation had a Jesse Eisenberg attached to it, and we can now tell you that he’ll be starring against Jane Eyre‘s Mia Wasikowska. Dostoyevsky’s novella The Double is a dark, surreal tragedy following a bank clerk who slowly comes to believe that a doppleganger is trying to usurp him. When asked about the project a while ago, Ayoade stated in typical dead-pan style:

“it’s funny, I think. Very funny. Dostoevsky never finished it to his satisfaction… So yes, we’re going to dust that off… We’ll do what Fyodor couldn’t.”

Lad.

We probably don’t need to mention how excited we are to see more of Ayoade’s directorial undercarriage. Shooting begins this spring, so we’ll probably get the finished product by the end of the year. Until then, it’s just going to have to be Garth Marenghi on repeat…
