the hunger games

As movie fans all over the world mourn the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, executives at Lionsgate find themselves facing a potential calamity. With one of the most important actors in their massively successful 'Hunger Games' franchise no longer with us, how do they move forward?

I love the people at The Onion. They never fail to make me laugh! Did you get the chance to see The Hunger Games: Catching Fire over the weekend?

It pays to be a K945 VIP! Congrats to all of our winners who scored IMAX passes to tonight's 11:20pm showing of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire courtesy of the Regal Louisiana Boardwalk 14 and K945!

It's no secret that Hunger Games Catching Fire hits movie theaters this Friday, November 22nd and in true Sesame Street fashion, they've released a fantastic parody: The Hungry Games - Catching Fur!

'Sesame Street' isn't just for kids anymore. The world-famous children's puppet show has recently spoofed everything from 'Breaking Bad' to 'Mad Men,' and now, it tackles 'The Hunger Games' in a parody entitled 'The Hungry Games: Catching Fur.'

'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' picks up almost exactly where the first film ended, with Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) embarking on a victory tour to celebrate their surviving the Hunger Games and to spread government propaganda and fear. This section of the book (and, we imagine, the movie) is fairly action-free, but still pretty harrowing. A new clip from the film shows that a couple of good actors in a room can be just as exciting as an action scene.

The tie-in promotional hit single hasn't been as popular/successful as it once was outside of the Bond movies (anyone remember the Soundgarden song in 'The Avengers'?), but that's not stopping 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' from featuring the new single from Christian Aguilera. To help sell the movie (and the song "We Remain") there's a brand new TV spot.

It's been mentioned that 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' would focus more on the love triangle between Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), and the first TV spot plays that up by adding a Coldplay song to the background.

As if we weren't already excited enough for 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' movie, the track list for its soundtrack has just been released -- and it's jam packed with our favorite artists!

With the release of new song 'Atlas,' we finally get our first taste of the 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' soundtrack -- and get to hear new Coldplay music for the first time in two years!

Are you ready to see Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen and Josh Hutcherson's Peeta Mellark dive back into The Hunger Games? In anticipation of Comic-Con 2013's coming 'Catching Fire' panel, which will feature the brand-new trailer for the 'Hunger Games' sequel, a batch of new posters has hit, debuting the new tributes.

Many times in the past year we've heard about The CW attempting to capitol-ize (heh) on the teen success of blockbuster franchise 'The Hunger Games,' first developing multiple iterations of the futuristic competition drama 'The Selection,' and this coming summer with reality competition series 'Capture' (which was originally named 'The Hunt'). The first official trailer for 'Capture' has hit the n
