Style Buying Katniss Here’s Jennifer Lawrence all over New York the last couple days on a final hard push for The Hunger Games which, as mentioned yesterday, could open as high as $120 million but probably no lower than $80 million which is, obviously, massive. As a result, shares in Lionsgate are By Lainey • Mar 21, 2012 02:29 pm
Lainey Interviews Better in chairs I know you know what I mean. I know I don’t have to explain. Here are Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, and Alexander Ludwig (he plays Cato) on The Marilyn Denis show in Toronto this morning to promote The Hunger Games, obviously. Hutcherson and Hemsworth were paired - and seated By Lainey • Mar 19, 2012 03:34 pm
Lainey Interviews Yes, she IS Katniss A few early reviews have been released for The Hunger Games from major outlets, considered “top critics”, including Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Guardian. All of them positive. So you can go into the weekend, the final weekend before The Hunger Games opens, with some relief. Again, my review By Lainey • Mar 16, 2012 02:32 pm

Movie Reviews and Previews 50 days and the 2nd trailer I was just actively trying not to think about a new teaser trailer the other day. Oh look! Here it is! With 50 days to go until The Hunger Games opens, we now have another preview. I love it when she pleads with Gale to make sure her family doesn’ By Lainey • Feb 02, 2012 03:01 pm
The Hunger Games Ok fine, maybe a little So many of you have emailed today asking for my thoughts on Kristen Bell’s sloth appearance on Ellen. Even Sasha sent a message to both Duana and me all like, “I think I might not hate her anymore”. As already mentioned, I’m a late admirer of Veronica Mars. By Lainey • Jan 31, 2012 04:49 pm
Hook Ups Just two kids in love, playing ball Awwwww! It’s long been rumoured that Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult were dating after working together on X-Men: First Class. More on the sequel later. Though they’d been seen all cute and flirty at some award shows last year, both were able to keep their sh-t tight, and By Lainey • Jan 31, 2012 03:00 pm
Twilight Breaking the Hunger Games Dawn If you need further proof that a movie studio can’t survive without a steady diet of cash-cow franchises, look no further than the Lionsgate/Summit Entertainment takeover. The talks began years ago and kept on in stop-start fashion, until late in 2011 it looked like some kind of a By Sarah • Jan 10, 2012 10:19 am
The Hunger Games Peeta goes to the GQ party Here’s Josh Hutcherson at the GQ Men of the Year party last night. Yeah, no, I am just....not...feeling...it. A few of you pointed out the other day during the liveblog that Peeta was always the underdog and Gale was the one who was stronger and I By Lainey • Nov 18, 2011 04:40 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews This is not a love story You’re goddamn right, motherf-cker. The first full length trailer for The Hunger Games has been released. I.LOVE.IT. No, it’s not perfect. Haymitch’s wig is a problem. I’m not sure about Katniss’s prom dress on American Idol there, either. But these are minor, minor, By Lainey • Nov 14, 2011 12:25 pm
The Hunger Games Jennifer Lawrence knows Katniss? There’s a Hunger Games profile in the new Vanity Fair featuring the cast in a photo that’s rather similar to the magazine’s shoot with the then-low profile cast of Twilight in 2008. Not sure if this is intentional since people are so eager for The Hunger Games By Lainey • Nov 02, 2011 08:43 am
Movie Reviews and Previews The Hunger Games posters: cause for optimism We are just about 5 months away from The Hunger Games movie in March. So far it’s been one step forward, one step back, particularly as it relates to casting. Lionsgate has released 8 character posters to start building momentum. There’s a lot of photoshopping and skin doctoring By Lainey • Oct 27, 2011 04:55 pm
The Hunger Games Catching Fire 2013 The Hunger Games is due in theatres in 7 months. They’re still shooting. It kinda worries me how much time they’ll have in post, and whether or not the CGI parts will be up to level, but I suppose, if the emotional urgency of the story is properly By Lainey • Aug 09, 2011 06:50 am
The Hunger Games Peeta & Gale cover EW New issue of Entertainment Weekly features the boys of The Hunger Games movie, Liam Hemsworth as Gale and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta. Yeah OK, I totally feel Gale. But Gale was never the major problem. It was Peeta who was stressing us out. So how do you feel now? Apparently By Lainey • Jul 28, 2011 03:13 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Katniss, Gale, Prim! From North Carolina and the set of The Hunger Games – here are Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Willow Shields, and author Suzanne Collins continuing production on the film. Good.

The Hunger Games Lawrence on Letterman Jennifer Lawrence appeared on Letterman last night. It was a great interview. 20 years old and she laid down an awesome interview on Letterman that earned her a kiss on the hand. Well done. She’s poised but she’s not, like, overly produced and automatic. She’s not Taylor By Lainey • May 20, 2011 04:03 am
