Two films with Dwayne Johnson, a Vietnam War romance and ‘The Expendables 2’ are in the Aussie actor’s future. By Fallon Prinzivalli Liam Hemsworth Photo: MTV News With “The Hunger Games” slaughtering its competition at the box office this past weekend, everyone’s eyes are locked on the movie’s three main stars to see what’s next. For those of you who loved Liam Hemsworth ‘s short but sweet scenes as Katniss Everdeen’s best friend, Gale, you’re in luck. While we’re sure the Aussie actor is enjoying the benefits of working hard on the film, he’s not sitting around waiting to film the sequel. He has quite a few other films in the works. Here’s a list of what to look forward to from the youngest Hemsworth brother. First on the list is his role as Bill “the Kid” Timmons, the newest addition to Sylvester Stallone’s team, in “The Expendables 2.” Mr. Church, played by Bruce Willis, enlists the Expendables for a job that seems like an easy paycheck. But when a member of the crew is brutally murdered, the Expendables seek revenge and find themselves on enemy turf with an unexpected threat looming over their heads. Also returning to the movie are Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture and Terry Crews. Yu Nan joins Hemsworth as another of the team’s newcomers in the film, which is set to release on August 17. After watching Hemsworth battle it out in that action flick, you can catch him in a different type of warring film titled “AWOL.” Based on a true story, the film follows a young Vietnam soldier who returns home to the States in search of his newly ex-girlfriend. Austin Stowell plays the broken-hearted soldier, Joiner, and Aimee Teegarden plays Juniper, his high school sweetheart. Hemsworth stars as Joiner’s best friend, Wright, who accompanies him on the risky journey. The backdrop of the film, which will be released later this year, is the anti-war movement at the University of Michigan. Josh Hutcherson isn’t the only ‘Hunger Games’ actor who may be working with Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson. Next year, Hemsworth will star alongside the wrestler-turned-actor in “Empire State.” Also based on a true story, the movie follows a plan set in motion by two childhood friends (one of whom will be played by Hemsworth) to rob an armored car depository. Johnson plays a NYPD officer who attempts to stop the cash heist, and Emma Roberts joins the cast as a waitress who takes interest in Hemsworth’s character. Then, in 2014, Johnson and Hemsworth will reunite for “Arabian Nights.” The tale weaves together some of our favorite adventures as a young commander named Ali Baba (Hemsworth) teams up with Sinbad (Johnson), Aladdin and Aladdin’s genie in order to rescue Scheherazade and her kingdom from the dark forces of a sorcerer. And, of course, you will see Hemsworth reprise his role as Gale Hawthorne in the November 22, 2013 release of “Catching Fire.” Gale will be in the picture more often this time around, and we’re excited to see how Hemsworth develops the character.

Who the fuck is Aimee Teegarden, I’ve never done a post on her….but more importantly why the fuck is her name something you’d expect to find yourself jerking off to in a Disney Movie….not that any of us have ever jerked off to a Disny Movie, as that’d make us weird…… I don’t know where I’m going with this, but I do know she’s in a bikini and has some fat tis….and really fat everything…but still worth looking at and that’s all I gotta say about that.
Wes Craven and stars, including Hayden Panettiere, on what to expect. By Eric Ditzian Neve Campbell in “Scream 4” Photo: Weinstein Co. Eleven years has passed since the previous installment in the “Scream” franchise. The teens that the Weinstein Company is hoping to entice to see the new sequel were probably more keen back in 2000 on watching SpongeBob SquarePants chillax in an underwater pineapple than Ghostface bloodily terrorize Woodsboro. Yet the challenge facing “Scream 4” is hardly unique in Hollywood. Nineteen years passed between “Indiana Jones” flicks, and “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” still raked in nearly $800 million worldwide in 2008. Will audiences still care about the ongoing tale of Sidney Prescott and a knife-wielding psycho? We have a feeling they will. MTV News certainly does, which is why we’ve been closely watching the production since word of the project first surfaced in 2008 and can now present our “Scream 4” cheat sheet: everything you need to know about the new horror flick. Sharpening the Knife News of the fourth film broke in July of ’08, and shortly after, MTV News revealed that Wes Craven , who helmed the previous trilogy, was in talks to return to the director’s chair. But guess what? Not just one new “Scream” was in the works, but an entire trilogy — again masterminded by Kevin Williamson . David Arquette and Courteney Cox were reportedly in talks to re-join the franchise, though early word suggested Neve Campbell had dropped out. Cox, it turned out, would eventually sign on. “The fourth one is an ensemble,” Williamson told us in November ’09. “It’ll take place right now, 10 years later, and it’s going to take place in Woodsboro. We’ll have our three main characters, and we’ll be introducing several more.” Craven officially signed on to direct in March 2010 and production kicked off early that spring. Joining the familiar faces were Hayden Panettiere, Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, Adam Brody, Kristen Bell, Anna Paquin and others. Returning to Woodsboro Eleven years after “Scream 3,” would the next installment have enough in store to both satisfy and surprise theatergoers? “For an audience that is so well-versed in ‘Scream’ [films] and in what happens and who becomes the killer, blah, blah, blah, it’s trickier to throw them a curveball,” Panettiere admitted . “I think they’ve done a really cool job with the script. We’ve had a blast on it.” The first footage for the film popped up in September, thanks to “Entertainment Tonight” — not that it revealed much of anything about the plot. But story details had already been emerging over the previous months. As Craven explained , the film would play off the idea of “sequelitis,” referring not only to the many “Scream” films but the fictional “Stab” flicks within the “Scream” mythology. “[Sidney] has been off by herself and living her own life, and she’s even written a book that has gotten a lot of critical acclaim,” he added. “She’s kind of put her life back together in the course of these 10 years. But, certainly, there would be no ‘Scream’ without Ghostface, so she has to confront him again, but now as a woman who has really come out the darkness of her past.” The trailer debuted in October. Culkin’s character stepped in to explain the new rules: the kill has to be more extreme (cue woman plummeting to her demise atop news truck), virgins aren’t safe (cut to Ghostface chasing scantily clad virgin around bedroom), and the killer should be filming his handiwork (see Cox discovering camcorder prior to run-in with Ghostface). A second trailer arrived in January, giving us more screams and more near-kills. The question, of course, remains … Who’s the Killer? No one in the cast will cop to the murders just yet. “My character is not the killer, because she knows horror movies too well,” Panettiere argued when we caught up with her recently. “She knows how they work, and she’s too terrified in that scene in the preview.” “My character is not the killer because she’s Sidney Prescott,” Campbell added. Said Aimee Teegarden, “Why am I not the killer? I’m not the killer because I have great hair in the movie. And if you have great hair, you don’t die — bottom line.” Whoever the killer ends up being, we have not seen the last of Ghostface. “Scream 4” is only the first flick in the new planned trilogy. So where does the franchise go from here? “It’s a process that I think all of us go through, trying to stay fresh and not repeating our last acts,” Craven told us . “What is next? What thoughts are in my mind that are original, thoughts that even surprise me, as opposed to looking up and going, ‘Oh, I guess I can do one of those. I guess I can make a zombie movie!’ We just need to keep it fresh and, in a sense, inspired. The thought that you can’t even intellectually sit down necessarily and come up with something, but then a thought comes and hits you in the middle of the shower — that’s your deepest subconscious creativity talking to you.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Scream 4.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
