Spanish master Pedro Almodovar reunites with his onetime muse Antonio Banderas in The Skin I Live In , a horror tale of sorts about a doctor (Banderas) trying to synthesize a special kind of skin in his home laboratory who also happens to have a female prisoner locked up in his mansion. Also, everyone in this movie has a gun, and some folks are clad in chic semi-bondage gear. Who knows what deliciously sordid twists are in store? Watch the English-language trailer for a taste of the new Almodovar.

Jennifer Lawrence introduced a suspenseful, heavily forested preview of The Hunger Games before MTV’ s Video Music Awards in a pre-taped segment from North Carolina, where the adaptation of Suzanne Collins’s bestseller is still being shot. And speaking of being shot: In the clip, Lawrence takes aim with a fiery arrow and artfully dodges some woodsy danger. Indeed, she’s the new goddess of the hunt. Watch after the jump.

Bad news usually breaks late on a Friday, which makes it decidedly bizarre that this great news broke at 10:30 p.m. on the East Coast: Deadline reports that Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to star in the William Monahan-scripted remake of The Gambler , with Martin Scorsese attached to direct. (The three men previous teamed up for The Departed ) The 1974 version of The Gambler — based on a short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky — followed a New York City school teacher (James Caan) who is addicted to gambling. No word yet when this will actually film, however, since both Scorsese and DiCaprio have full dance cards for the foreseeable future. [ Deadline ]

Because Hollywood never met a property it didn’t want to resuscitate, Sony has commissioned Source Code screenwriter Ben Ripley to pen its remake of Flatliners . The Joel Schumacher-directed 1990 film starred Julia Roberts (and her awesome hair), Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland and Billy Baldwin as medical students toying with near-death experiences to increasingly dangerous outcomes. Sorta like movie executives continuing to mine former VHS faves for redux treatment! [ Deadline ]

As we discovered when comparing the careers of Shia LaBeouf and Michael J. Fox , as well as Leslie Mann and Madeline Kahn , it’s hard to be original. It’s even harder to be a breakout talent who forges an trajectory that defies categorization and precedent. In the case of Our Idiot Brother star Zooey Deschanel, her career has matched one other raven-haired thespian’s rise to prominence: That would be Andie MacDowell.

Before Jennifer Lawrence introduces exclusive glimpse at Sunday’s show, we offer up a sneak peek. By Kara Warner Jennifer Lawrence in “Hunger Games” Photo: Lions Gate All right, “Hunger Games” fans: There are only a few short days until we present the first-ever look at the upcoming film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling dystopian novel. The exclusive glimpse of the film will debut during Sunday’s VMAs , to be introduced by star Jennifer Lawrence. It will also be available exclusively on MTV.com. In an effort to make your wait a little less painful — or more so, depending on how you feel about teaser photos — we are pleased to offer this exclusive still photo from the first look that will debut during the VMAs. The snapshot features heroine Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) captured in a moment of extreme intensity, mid-sprint. Those who know how the plot unfolds in the books might venture to guess that Katniss is in the midst of a fight to the death in the Hunger Games. We hope we’ll see more of this when the footage debuts Sunday night. Until then, take a look back at the photos we’ve seen so far of Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth in action, as well as what Lawrence had to say about the coveted role when we spoke to her about it back in May. “I was a fan of the books before I really knew about the movies,” Lawrence told MTV News , adding that she’d be working her butt off to get into character. “It’s lots of training, but the training’s actually really fun. I’ve done archery for about six weeks and rock climbing, tree climbing — and combat, running and vaulting. But also yoga and things like that, to stay catlike!” The 28th annual MTV Video Music Awards will air live Sunday, August 28, from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following the Selena Gomez-hosted pre-show at 8.

On this day, 53 years ago, Timothy Walter Burton was born in Burbank, California to parents Bill and Jean. Over the course of the next five decades, the boy from Burbank would go on to direct fifteen feature films in his signature dark, quirky style, seven of which featured his long-time collaborator Johnny Depp. To celebrate Burton’s birthday, let’s look back at the director’s most wonderfully eccentric characters before choosing a favorite.

Many pro wrestlers have suffered trials and tribulations similar to those endured by the troubled former ring champ in decline played by Mickey Rourke in Darren Aronofsky’s 2008 Oscar nominee The Wrestler . But as a particularly sad investigative report by Grantland suggests, wrestling veteran Ric Flair (born Richard Fliehr), whose personal and financial troubles have sent him into a steep decades-long decline, may be the closest the WWE /TNA world currently has to a real life Randy “The Ram” Robinson.
