It stands to reason that with announcement of another Hunger Games novel by Suzanne Collins, due out on March 18, 2025, Lionsgate would greenlight another movie. The big screen take of the next prequel, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, will hit screens on Nov. 20, 2026 and the franchise filmmaker of the last four movies, Francis Lawrence, is in talks to return to direct.
In addition Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson, alongside her producing partner Brad Simpson, is returning to produce the next prequel under their Color Force banner. It reps Color Force’s sixth outing since bringing the series to Lionsgate in 2012.
While the previous prequel, The Hungers: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, was set 64 years before the events of the original trilogy, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is set 24 years before that trio of Jennifer Lawrence films in the world of Panem, commencing on the morning of the...

Benedict Cumberbatch (The Power of the Dog) and Olivia Colman (The Favourite) have been tapped to star in The Roses, a reimagining of the 1989 classic The War of the Roses that Jay Roach (Bombshell) will direct for Searchlight Pictures.
Currently in development, the dark comedy’s logline is as follows: Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Theo (Cumberbatch) and Ivy (Colman): successful careers, great kids, an enviable sex life. But underneath the façade of the perfect family is a tinderbox of competition and resentments that’s ignited when Theo’s professional dreams come crashing down.
Directed by Danny DeVito and starring Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, the original film adaptation of The War of the Roses was released by 20th Century Fox in 1989, garnering a BAFTA and three Golden Globe nominations, including for Best Motion Picture, among other accolades.

“The Voice” blind auditions for season 25 concluded on Tuesday night with each of the four coaches completing their teams by claiming their 10th initial artist of the season. In their first season and in the first ever double wide chair, Dan + Shay proved to be a force to be reckoned with by their veteran opponents. The 10 artists representing their team will next take stage for The Battles beginning March 18, but first we want to know who is your favorite artist on Team Dan + Shay? Vote in the poll below.
As newcomers on the block, Dan + Shay had a tough time scoring any artists to their team when all four coaches turned their chairs. On their team of 10, only Madison Curbelo chose them in a four-chair turn situation following her performance of “Stand by Me.” The guys might have had a chance to bring Serenity Arce over, but John Legend use...

As The Voice’s Season 25 Blind Auditions neared their conclusion Monday, we were introduced to a standout that one coach went so far as to liken to Brandy, a would-be winner who gave a performance that could only be called Dylanesque, and a country boy with as much gravel in his vocal as you’d find on a dirt road in Nowhereseville. Read on, and we’ll review all the singers who advanced from Night 5 of the Blinds.

And they continued last night when he played Johnny Cash’s “Big River” for the first time since a guest appearance with The Dead in 2003.

Conor McPherson, the five-time Tony nominee behind the plays Girl From the North Country and The Seafarer, has been set to adapt into a straight play the first novel and film of Suzanne Collins’ trilogy The Hunger Games. It will mark the franchise’s first-ever live stage adaptation, and a fall 2024 debut in London is planned.
London veteran Matthew Dunster has been set to direct the play, which is moving forward with the blessing of Collins, who wrote the now four-novel series that were adapted for the screen and starred Jennifer Lawrence. The fourth novel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, is a prequel and its film adaptation starring Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth, Viola Davis and Hunter Schafer, hits cinemas next month with Francis Lawrence returning to direct.

London is volunteering as tribute to host the first-ever stage adaptation of “The Hunger Games,” a play based on Suzanne Collins’ best-selling books and the Jennifer Lawrence-led blockbuster film franchise.
Matthew Dunster (“Hangmen”) is directing and playwright Conor McPherson (“Girl From the North Country”) is adapting the live theatrical production. (And may the odds be ever in their favor.) It will make its debut in London in the fall of 2024.
The play will be based on the first book in Collins’ dystopian series revolving around a televised battle royale in which young tributes are selected via lottery to fight to the death. The story picks up as Katniss Everdeen, a role that propelled Lawrence to stardom, volunteers to take her younger sister’s place in the 74th annual Hunger Games. A press release calls the stage version a “gripping tale of courage, defiance, and the unbreakable human spirit.”

Johnny Cash was an early fan of Bob Dylan, finding it astonishing that Dylan was able to find success with that type of music. He was also likely impressed when he realized Dylan was just in his early 20s. When Cash first heard Dylan’s music, he thought he was listening to a much older artist.

Cash became a fan of Dylan in some of the earliest stages of the singer’s career. He didn’t realize that he was listening to a new, young artist, though.
“The first time I heard him — I don’t know where it was, I believe in Las Vegas — I thought it was an old country singer,” he said, per the book Cash on Cash: Interviews and Encounters With Johnny Cash. “And then I realized somebody told me who he was — and I said,...

Johnny Cash was one of Bob Dylan’s earliest supporters. He became a fan of the younger artist from the moment he heard him, and he went out of his way to support Dylan in his career. They performed together, and Cash covered several of Dylan’s songs. Cash said that whenever he listened to the other artist, he felt slightly jealous. He wished he could translate his thoughts into lyrics as Dylan did.

When Cash met Dylan, he felt mutual admiration. Dylan had long been a fan of his work, and Cash used to listen to his albums before and after shows.
“He’s a very quiet, kind person who loves his wife and children very much,” Cash said, per the book Cash on Cash: Interviews and Encounters With Johnny Cash.

Chlöe's mentor and confidant Beyoncé once said, "You know you that b*tch when you cause all this conversation." These days, Chlöe is used to being a trending topic on social media. Not that the 24-year-old singer, songwriter, and actor pays attention to it, seeing as she occasionally removes apps like Twitter and Instagram from her phone when the negative comments get overwhelming.
"It's been hard, difficult, [and] unsettling," Chlöe tells Popsugar of dealing with constant judgment from some of her biggest critics online. "I could go down the whole negative path but I have to learn to not really care and to know that as long as I am being authentically and unapologetically myself, then I'm good."

Chlöe is solidifying her solo career with her long-awaited debut album. The singer announced the upcoming arrival of "In Pieces" earlier this year, breaking the big news on Jan. 24 with a cinematic 17-second teaser showing herself balancing scales in a red latex dress. In the song that plays in the clip, Chlöe sings, "Wear my heart on my sleeve / they all say I'm naive / but it's better than nothing / when did it all get so heavy now?"
In the weeks leading up to its release, Chlöe has dropped several updates for "In Pieces," including the album's two lead singles ("Pray It Away" and "How Does It Feel"), cover art, and finally a tracklist.

"Swarm" is one of the wildest new shows on TV this year. The Prime Video series from Janine Nabers and Donald Glover follows an obsessive fan of the fictional pop star Ni'Jah (who is very clearly a stand-in for Beyoncé) who goes on a killing spree after losing her only friend. The shocking seven-episode show has plenty of talented people on board: "Judas and the Black Messiah" actress Dominique Fishback stars as the fan in question, Dre, while celebrities including Chloe Bailey, Billie Eilish, Paris Jackson, and more make appearances.
But the show also has some surprising talent behind the camera: Malia Obama, credited as Malia Ann, makes her TV writing debut with the show's fifth episode. The daughter of former President Barack Obama reportedly graduated from Harvard in 2021 after majoring in Visual and Environmental Studies, and ended up on the...
