Another day, another inventive bit of marketing for the indie drama Martha Marcy May Marlene . On the heels of the QR-coded trailers for the Sundance sensation that debuted online Monday, the Fox Searchlight team has released a motion poster of MMMM that is subtle, affecting and totally creepy. Awesome! If star Elizabeth Olsen is the next Jennifer Lawrence, she already has her predecessor beat; you didn’t see a motion poster for Winter’s Bone , did you? (Lawrence didn’t get her first motion poster until The Hunger Games .) Click through for a look.
Miley Cyrus created quite the stir this week when she got a new tattoo, seemingly in defense of gay marriage, and then evoked God when defending her belief in equality . But, give the singer/actress credit, she isn’t backing down from this fight. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Cyrus is attached to an untitled comedy written by Sam Brown and Jack Angelo. Not much is known about it, but the reliable publication describes the film’s plot as involving “a broken promise to God.” Miley has a pair of other grown-up films in the way: So Undercover and LOL . Boyfriend Liam Hemsworth , meanwhile, is also set to make it big: he will star in next March’s big screen version of The Hunger Games as Gale.
We don’t wanna spoil The Hunger Games , but allow us to say this: As Katniss Everdeen, Jennifer Lawrence will have to do choose between Josh Hutcherson’s Peeta and Liam Hemsworth’s Gale.

Study both actors below and answer the most pressing question of them all: Who would you rather…
How can you hate from outside the club / You can’t even get in! Yellow model chick / Yellow bottle sipping / Yellow Lamborghini / Yellow top missing / Yeah, yeah / That s–t look like a toupee I get what you get in 10 years, in two days / Ladies love me, I’m on my Cool J / If you get what I get, what would you say? Most kids don’t sport a vocabulary as hip as this, but that’s what makes three-year-old Jayden so … smart? Fly? Gangsta? Poorly-raised? It’s hard to say.

When EW debuted the first look at Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen in Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games , it looked pretty damn good. But will Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson fare as well when it comes to embodying the well-loved characters of Gale and Peeta in Gary Ross’s 2012 adaptation? Get your first full look at the men of The Hunger Games after the jump!
If you haven’t read Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games books yet, the blazing new motion poster Lionsgate debuted today for the 2012 Hunger Games film won’t make much sense. Suffice to say, once you begin reading the novels, the sight of a flaming gold bird-shaped pin will stir your senses into action, the symbol of rebellion and of the series’ young heroine, Katniss Everdeen ( Jennifer Lawrence ).
When Gary Ross picked rocker Lenny Kravitz out of nowhere to play Katniss’s stylist Cinna in 2012’s The Hunger Games , many folks were taken by surprise. But none, perhaps, were more surprised than Kravitz himself, who admits he didn’t even know what The Hunger Games trilogy was until he got Ross’s phone call.
Jamie Campbell Bower Photo: Tony Barson/ Getty Images “Mortal Instruments” actress Lily Collins has finally met her magical match in “Camelot” star Jamie Campbell Bower . Deadline Hollywood broke the news that Bower has been cast as demon-slaying Shadowhunter Jace Wayland in the big-screen adaptation of the first “Mortal Instruments” novel, “City of Bones.” Fans immediately took to Twitter to voice their reactions, with many concerned that the 22-year-old “Breaking Dawn” actor just didn’t look the way they imagined the character — described as a well-built, angelic-faced warrior. Yet, for Cassandra Clare, who’s penned four novels in the supernatural “Mortal Instruments” series, Bower couldn’t have been a better fit for the part. “His acting of the role is perfectly spot on,” she told MTV News of the audition footage producers sent her. In fact, Clare was so moved by the performance that she broke into tears. “I literally started crying because that was my Jace and Clary on the screen,” she said. Clare understands this sort of rabid (and often contentious) fan fervor, which has become par for the course for any YA novel getting the big-screen treatment. “I think this is sort of inevitable,” she said. “This is what happened with ‘The Hunger Games’ casting. This is what happened with ‘Twilight’ casting. I’m old enough to remember this is what happened with the ‘Harry Potter’ casting. The reaction is always worried because people feel very passionately about the books, and they just don’t want to see something that is going to mess it up for them.” And just as the naysaying died down after Jennifer Lawrence debuted her Katniss makeover for “Hunger Games” on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Clare has a hunch that unconvinced fans will soon see things as she does. “I think in the same way that Jennifer Lawrence has transformed herself into Katniss, I think he will have no problem transforming himself into Jace,” she said. “One of the things about being an actor is that you’re a chameleon and you transform yourself. And actors have done amazing jobs transforming themselves in the past, and Jamie is really enthusiastic about the role.” Read our entire interview with “Mortal Instruments” author Cassandra Clare .
