If you’ve read the Suzanne Collins novels that “The Hunger Games” will be based on, then you already know that heroine Katnis Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence in the Gary Ross-directed trilogy) can be pretty badass when she needs to be. She’s a tough gal who rarely lets her emotions get the best of her, and she’s quite handy with that bow and arrow. Here’s a new pic from the movie showing that Lawrence looks mighty at home shooting that traditional bow.

Vin Diesel and David Twohy’s “Riddick” is heating up. (That would be “Pitch Black 3″ or “The Chronicles of Riddick 2″ FYI.)
The latest casting rumors on the film has offers going out to Andreas Apergis, Katee Sackhoff (of “Battlestar Galactica” fame), Bokeem Woodbine and WWE wrestler Dave Bautista. Ahem, sorry, I mean, WWE superstar Dave Bautista. That’s like the official title for those wrasslin’ guys, right?

Yikes. It looks like a Hollywood live-action version of “Akira” will happen after all. Who would have thunk it? After lots of starts and stops and more starts and stops, the film is finally gearing up for production with a director and now, star.

When you think sci-fi dystopian society, you of course think … Vanity Fair? Sure, why not. The magazine recently gathered up the kids of Gary Ross’ upcoming “The Hunger Games” and had them stand around posing for pictures. You can see the results below.
An Update on Those Back-to-Back Independence Day Sequels
So yeah, they might really happen after all. Vulture reports that the studio is very keen on making the sequels back-to-back, and while the two films will form a single coherent story, they can also be viewed as stand-alone films. Not sure how that’s going to work, but that’s what they’re saying.
Sponsored Editorial: The HP Z800 Workstation
Ever wondered how Dreamworks Animation realized their films, including the upcoming CG movie “Puss in Boots”? Wonder no more. They did it using computing monsters like the HP Z800 Workstation.
Character Posters for the Boys and Girls of The Hunger Games
Eight whopping character posters for Lionsgate’s upcoming sure-to-be spectacular “The Hunger Games” franchise. That is, unless Gary Ross royally screws it up, then I take back my sure-to-be spectacular comment. I don’t think so, though. Gary Ross is one hell of a good director. Great, even.

The Ender’s Game Movie Gets an Official Release Date
Now if only Summit Entertainment will actually make it. Sorry if I’m a little pessimistic. After all, people have been telling me that an “Ender’s Game” movie is on the way for the last two decades or so, and it hasn’t happened yet.
Bryan Singer’s Battlestar Galactica Movie Lands Writer
Self-professed original “Battlestar Galactica” fan John Orloff will be scripting Bryan Singer’s “Battlestar Galactica” movie, the director’s feature film based on the original TV show, not the recent and critically acclaimed Ron Moor reboot.
Orloff is a really big fan, too:
Star Wars The Phantom Menace 3D Re-Release Trailer
The great thing about George Lucas’ “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace” is just how clunky it made even great actors like Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson look while reciting those Godawful lines of dialogue. I mean, listen to Jackson in this trailer for the 3D re-release. It’s like he’s choking on a rock while having to read George’s lines! Awesome.
Akira Lives! Again!
Sorry, haters of the American “Akira” — it ain’t dead yet. In fact, it’s very much alive, with Variety reporting that Warner Bros. has officially given the greenlight to the movie, with an early 2012 start date on the horizon.
Starship Troopers: Invasion In Production with Appleseed Director
I love 1997′s “Starship Troopers”. Didn’t care all that much for 2004′s cheapie sequel “Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation”, though it had its moments. Didn’t even bother to watch 2008′s “Starship Troopers 3: Marauder”.
