Listen: Lana Del Rey Meets ‘The Hunger Games’

Posted by Natalia Buia on February 7th, 2012

Holly Laurent took the two most talked about things, Lana Del Rey and “The Hunger Games” and mixed them together.

She wrote the lyrics about the highly anticipated film “The Hunger Games” and set it to the tune of LDR’s “Video Games”. It’s genius!

Holly hails from Chicago as member of the longstanding improv group The Reckoning. She tours the states quite heavily with Second City. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see her on “Saturday Night Live” in the next few years.

Taylor Swift Releases Track for The Hunger Games

Posted by andPOP Staff on December 24th, 2011

Taylor Swift announced via Twitter that she has teamed up with The Civil Wars for a track on The Hunger Games soundtrack.

The song is called “Safe,” and fits The Hunger Games perfectly. Writing the lyrics “Just close your eyes / The sun is going down / You’ll be all right / No one can hurt you / In the morning light / You and I’ll be safe and sound” it’s clear that Swift and The Civil Wars are singing about lead character’s Katniss and Peeta’s relationship.

Taylor later tweeted the photo above and wrote, “And this is it, the big surprise… Go get it! #TheHungerGames”.

Have you heard the track yet? What do you think?

Official Trailer for “The Hunger Games” Released

Posted by Elisheva Baer on November 14th, 2011

First there was a wizard phenomenon with Harry Potter, and shortly after, the vampire craze that came along with Twilight. But now that Harry Potter and Twilight are both ending, what will teenagers turn to now? Hopfully The Hunger Games.

The much anticipated full-length trailer has finally been released during Good Morning America on Monday. Tweens, you can stop pinching yourself, this is definitely the real deal and not just a fan-made video! Based on the book series of the same name, the film will star Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Josh Hutcherson.

Die-hard fans shouldn’t worry about the movie ruining the books or drastically changing any major scenes. In a recent interview with MTV, Hutcherson revealed that the movie is “very similar to the book.”

In the movie, Hutcherson plays Peeta, one of the two tributes from District 12 who is chosen to compete in the 74th annual Hunger Games.

“It kind of drove me crazy in a way, because I felt like I was so right for [the part], then I had to go through this crazy audition process. So to finally be making the movie and now we’re finished, it’s like, somebody please pinch me, because I still don’t believe this is actually happening,” Hutcherson told MTV.

“For me, it’s just an honor to be a part of such a great story. Gary Ross is such an amazing director, and Jennifer Lawrence is perfect, and everyone else we cast was really great,” he said.

The film is set to hit theatres March 2012. Until then, we’re all glued to the computer watching the trailer over and over again.

The Hunks of ‘The Hunger Games’ released

Posted by Samantha Lui on July 27th, 2011

In May, Jennifer Lawrence’s brown-haired look as “The Hunger Games” protagonist Katniss Everdeen, was revealed on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.

Now, her male counterparts are revealed.  Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth taking over the cover of EW as their characters Gale Hawthorne and Peeta Mellark.  They will play friends and co-warriors with Katniss as they fight to the death as they try and overcome their corrupt country Panem.

Based on the hit novels written by Suzanne Collins, the film will be directed by Gary Ross.

The hit novel trilogy’s big screen adaptation will also star Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Donald Sutherland as President Snow and Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy.

Last week, the motion poster for the film was revealed.

Personally, I think they look great…but I still have doubts about Josh Hutcherson playing the role of Peeta. He’s a great actor, but I still can’t picture it.  Guess he’ll have to convince me when the movie comes out!!

Alex Pettyfer Shows off His Ugly Side

Posted by Elisheva Baer on April 27th, 2011

Who knew he had one under all that attractiveness?!

In a recent interview with Alex Pettyfer in VMAN magazine, the actor expressed his hatred for L.A. (the city to which he owes his fame), and his “misogynistic mouth,” according to E! Online.

“L.A. is growing on me a little bit but it’s still a s–t hole,” Pettyfer said in the interview. “I think it’s this insidious pool where nearly everyone lives in fear. Geographically it’s fantastic, but socially it’s disgusting. I wish they’d run all the c–ts out.” But the hatred didn’t stop there; he took it all the way to the red carpet too. “I really don’t give a s–t about any of that,” he commented. “I wish I had some interesting stories about living in L.A., but mostly I just do my work and then go home.”

But the fun doesn’t stop there! “He revealed to the magazine that he has a tattoo above his crotch that reads thank you. “In case I forget to say it,” he explained while winking,” reports E! Online.

If you thought that maybe Pettyfer was unaware that this would be published for all to see, the following will crush your hopes and dreams even more. E! Online says that Pettyfer told the reporter, “he was well aware that every sick word would be printed and that he found it ‘f–king funny.’” Alex, you’re definitely right, it’s all hilarious!…not.

To put it bluntly, there must have been a reason why the 21-year-old was not chosen to star in the upcoming movie The Hunger Games, and E! Online speculates the possibility that its producers were aware of the scandals that could follow this actor.

According to Perez Hilton, there has been a lot of trash talk about the actor floating around since his emergence onto the scene.

As much as it pains me to say it, this definitely is not looking good for the young actor. After recently starring in I Am Number Four and Beastly, along with his sexy accent and boyish charm – not to mention those eyes! – Alex Pettyfer stole the hearts of many girls. I wonder how well his charm will get him out of this one – if it even can…

And now I leave you with more pearls of wisdom from Pettyfer himself; “Being an actor is like being in prison. You go, you serve your time, you try and replicate Johnny Depp’s career and then you move to Paris.”
