Lionsgate debuted its trailer for The Hunger Games today, purposely only teasing the hyper-anticipated film’s first half so as to preserve all the surprises of the, uh, bestselling book series. Anyway, that’s fine: If you’re new to the story, this set’s up Gary Ross’s adaptation pretty well: Jennifer Lawrence is Katniss. Josh Hutcherson is Peeta. And Woody Harrelson is Haymitch — or some Halloween simulacrum thereof. Click on through and have a look.

“How am I going to market a black-and-white silent movie? I’m praying. I’m going to church and to synagogue. And if that doesn’t work, I’m going Buddhist. And if that doesn’t work, I’m going Islam. Saturdays and Sundays are very busy in the Weinstein household.” [ NYM ]

While it didn’t quite slay Jack and Jill at the box office — a more resounding spanking might’ve restored my faith in humanity, but many, many folks still came out for the Adam Sandler twinsies comedy — Tarsem ‘s fantasy actioner Immortals exceeded expectations on its way to a surprising $32 million number one opening, the best ever debut for studio Relativity Media. Also: Puss in Boots and Tower Heist continued to slide down the ranks, with J. Edgar making a decent go of things to round out the Top 5. Dive in for your Weekend Receipts!

How’s this for under-the-radar weekend news: Warner Bros. is moving ahead with its live-action/animation hybrid LEGO movie, which should hit screens in 2014. According to Variety, the pic will be comprised of 80 percent animation, to be handled by Animal Logic, the Aussie-based vfx house behind Happy Feet and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole , which could mean gorgeously rendered and lifelike… LEGO blocks come to life?

Quentin Tarantino’s next film Django Unchained has a cast that — so far — includes Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kurt Russell, but the director is rumored to be squeezing in an extra star: Sacha Baron Cohen. Borat ‘s guerrilla buffoon is reportedly up for the role of Scotty Harmony, a slave owner who buys Broomhilda (Washington) as a “female companion.” I expect an HBO spinoff series about this kooky slave ownership called Da Simon Legree Show .

I’ve said it before: Next Movie’s ” Rappers Review Movies ” video series is ingenious. The latest rhymer to play Ebert with Hollywood’s new releases is NYC -based Immortal Technique, a lyricist who frequently uses his songs to draw attention to socio-economic and political disparities. Taking on Tarsem ‘s Greek actioner Immortals , he drops some serious conscious commentary on even greater issues: Namely, how much Clash of the Titans and the next-gen Star Wars movies totally sucked. PREACH !
