Final The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 Trailer – Back into the world of Katniss and the Capitol

October 29, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In less than a month The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is due to hit cinemas and there’s little doubt it’ll be a big hit. However as it marks a change for the franchise, so Lionsgate are keen to ensure fans are kept excited.

Now the final trailer has arrived, which may be fairly short but does a great job of setting up the drama and suggesting that now the whole of Panem is the arena.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The worldwide phenomenon of The Hunger Games continues to set the world on fire with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, which finds Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Danny Strong and Peter Craig and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the third in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has over 65 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.’

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is due out in the UK on November 20th, 2014, with the final film (until an inevitable further sequel or spin-off is announced), The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, out the same time the following year. [Read more…]

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Trailer – Jennifer Lawrence reluctantly leads a rebellion

September 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

After promising it a few days ago, the trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay is here and there’s no doubt it’s looking pretty cool. It successfully broaches the fact that the third Hunger Games novel is rather different to the first two, by suggesting that this time around the whole of Panem is the arena.

Yet More Ice Bucket Challenges: James McAvoy, Chris Evans, Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Neil Patrick Harris, Sam Claflin, Josh Hutcherson

August 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

There really is no end to the famous guys lining up to take the Ice Bucket Challenge. We’ve already featured, Matt Bomer, Chris Pratt, Joe Manganiello, Stephen Amell, Robert Downey Jr., Jesse Metcalfe, Lance Bass, and boyband Emblem3 as well as Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Vin Diesel, The Flash’s Grant Gustin and James Franco and not forgetting Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Cruise, Zac Efron, Channing Tatum, Jamie Dornan, Eddie Redmayne & Robert Pattinson.

It doesn’t end there though, as now we have James McAvoy, Chris Evans, Ian McKellen, Neil Patrick Harris, Sam Claflin, Hugh Jackman and Josh Hutcherson getting drenched. (And we particularly enjoyed Claflin’s dancing, as well as Chris Evans deciding in his lengthy vid that only a suit would befit the occasion).

Of course they’re all doing it to support ALS awareness and fundraising. In the UK ALS is known as Motor Neurone Disease and so Brits can give a bit of cash to the MND Association to show their support, while in the US it’s the ALSA that should be getting your money.

And for those moaning that it’s stupid and pointless, the ALSA has said that in the last few weeks they’ve received around $65 million, as compared to around $2.5 million during the same period last year.

So take a look at the guys having cold water poured over them below and then think about putting your hand into your pocket. [Read more…]

Josh Hutcherson & Jena Malone Become Hunger Games: Mockingjay Living Portraits

July 23, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Lionsgate continues its Hunger Games: Mockingjay marketing effort where it’s bringing us messages from the Capitol resigned to quell rebellion in the Districts with a mix of platitudes and veiled threats about what will happen if they don’t quieten down.

That continues with the ‘living portraits’ below, featuring Peeta and Johanna, who are essentially being held hostage by President Snow and used in his efforts to end the disquiet – and of course showing them off shows Katniss that she’s risking their lives by doing anything troublesome.

Take a look at the portraits and the Capitol’s messages about them below. [Read more…]

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Gets A New Message From President Snow

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago President Snow, ruler of The Hunger Games’ Panem gave us an address from The Capitol, as he knew that following the events of Catching Fire, there is dissent in the Districts and if it isn’t stamped out, the whole country could collapse.

Now he is back with a call for Unity, once more showing off his iron fist in a velvet glove skills.

We can also enjoy the new ‘official portrait’ above, which I’m sure we’d all love to hang on our walls. As you can see, it also features Peeta Mellark and Johanna Mason, who I’m sure were both their of their own free will.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Blu-ray)

March 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Sam Claflin, Liam Hemsworth, Donald Sutherland
Director: Francis Lawrence
Running Time: 146 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: March 17th 2014

With the first Hunger Games, many remarked that it was surprisingly violent for a young adult film. The second isn’t quite as violent, but it’s is surprisingly dark and gritty. Many wondered whether swapping director Gary Ross for Francis Lawrence would result in a more mainstream, Hollywood-ised tale, but instead it’s rather gone the other way, with a film that doesn’t pull its punches over the darkness and pain at its heart, or try to make its hero less flawed than she is.

Final Hunger Games: Catching Fire Trailer – Katniss is back in the arena very soon

October 28, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

It’s just a few weeks until the November 22nd release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, and now there’s a final trailer, showing off the action and excitement. While earlier promos have concentrated on the early parts of the movie, this one takes us straight into the jungle arena and suggests it’s going to be just as dangerous as last time.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘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 is directed by Francis Lawrence, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the second in a trilogy that has over 50 million copies in print in the U.S. alone. THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE opens on November 22, 2013.’ [Read more…]

Epic (Blu-ray)

October 6, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Josh Hutcherson, Colin Farrell, Beyonce Knowles, Chris O'Dowd
Director: Chris Wedge
Running Time: 98 mins
Certificate: U
Release Date: October 7th 2013

I have to admit that the trailers for Epic left me cold. The title seemed random, the story silly and the whole thing felt like an attempt to cash in on Avatar for the family audience. Well, there is a little of the eco theme and visual style of Avatar in there, but I have to say how surprised I was by the film, which is far more entertaining than I’d expected (even if it is a bit silly).

In the film the forests are full of two-inch tall creatures, split between the good, peace loving Treemen and their allies, and the evil Boggans, who want to destroy everything and turn the forest into rot. An eccentric human scientist believes in these creatures, but his singular obsession has left him without a wife and estranged from his daughter, M.K. (Amanda Seyfried). [Read more…]
