Is Hunger Games Facing Competition From Twilight Star's New Flick?

Watch out, Hunger Games.
Online reports have been likening super hunk Kellan Lutz's new death-fighting film Arena to the upcoming movie adaptation of Suzanne Collins' young adult book franchise starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth.
"It's not like the Hunger Games at all," Lutz told us at the launch of his Dylan George clothing line Abbot + Main at Nordstrom in L.A. "It really is a new spin on Gladiator. Samuel L. Jackson plays a Caesar...I get kidnapped and thrown into this underground fight club to the death."

While Lutz was put through intense weapon and mixed martial arts training for the action thriller, he didn't walk away unscathed.

As the fans of HG, we say that it will never compare with Suzanne Collins masterpiece!

New Finnick and annie film short!!!

Mainstay Productions has announced they will be doing a short film about Finnick and Annie!

Many Hunger Games fans have suggested that we do something with the character Finnick. I pitched an idea to downwiththecapitol.net about doing something with Finnick and Annie, when they were younger and how their relationship grew. One of their staff members, Shylah Addante, wrote 7 short stories that we are going to film this fall about Finnick and Annie. We hope all you fellow Hunger Games fans will enjoy!

All I can say is: About time! I think this is going to be a great, controvercial film, as fans may finally see their 'fictional' imaginings of Finnick and Annie come to life! Do you think Mainstay Pro will disappoint?

Elizabeth Banks Dishes out Hot HG goss!

Elizabeth Banks sat down with New York Magazine's Vulture blog to discuss her upcoming role as the perky (and pink) Effie Trinkett in the highly anticipated film "The Hunger Games."
This role could be a game-changer for Banks. Although she is no stranger to success, the hype surrounding this film can be compared to the mania that engulfed both Harry Potter and The Twilight Saga when they were adapted from books to blockbusters.
Banks is not only starring in the film, but is a fan of the series as well. She dished to Vulture,"I read the first one and I was like, “Oh my God!” I devoured it in, like, five hours. And partly I think I liked it because it has a female protagonist. And then I immediately got on the list to get Catching Fire and then pre-ordered Mockingjay, like, a month in advance."

She was so enamored by the story, she proclaimed to the head of Lionsgate prior to being cast, “I would pay to be Effie.” Luckily her efforts and enthusiasm didn't go unnoticed. She got the role and announced it via Twitter at the end of April tweeting, "Yes! And I can now confirm I'm EFFIE TRINKET in @TheHungerGames. So excited!"
