Movie News: Mockingjay,Captain America 3, JK Rowling & more.

So if you like my facebook page, you must have seen that I've been sharing Mockingjay part 1 stills and trailers.(It's so easy to share there) I decided it's time to post it on the blog as well. There was new teaser posted yesterday as well. So without further ado here's the new teaser:

The best part of this teaser is that it features the Lorde song that I am ADDICTED to .

In case you missed the first full trailer. Here it is:

My Take:

Catching Fire was amazing and I've been dying to see the next one. But so far not too impressed by the trailers apart from Jennifer (God, she can act!) . I kind of hated Mockingjay the book so I guess I should adjust my expectations. I'm in love with the soundtrack (well more like the song) they've released. Cannot wait to hear more. If you haven't check out the Catching Fire soundtrack, it's amazing!

Now onto the J.K. Rowling film front. The internet has exploded with the news that there's going to be a Harry Potter spin-off trilogy. I think the whole Harry Potter spin-off angle is a LITTLE misleading. It's set in the same universe but it's based on Rowling's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. I went from 

because I thought it was a HARRY potter spin off, to 

when I saw it was a IN THE SAME universe story. 

I'm sorry but the Harry Potter spin-off tag is a little misleading.

"The trilogy of films will be based on author J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and Harry Potter film director David Yates will likewise helm these new pictures. Rowling will pen the scripts for the films, based on her own stories. No word on casting or whether we can expect appearances by any Potter alums. The films will release in 2016, 2018, and 2020."-Forbes.com

I got a little bit more into the idea after I read this article which points out that this story takes place much before the Harry Potter series and that means DUMBLEDORE IS ALIVE!! If you put Dumbledore in the movie Rowling and you can just take my money!

I also have ridiculously exciting Captain America 3 news. 

At first I thought it was just fanfiction but further investigation shows that there's a HUGE possibility that Robert Downey Jr. is going to be in A CAPTAIN AMERICA movie as the antagonist. 

"Robert Downey Jr. is on the verge of signing on to “Captain America 3,” with Tony Stark’s Iron Man set to play a key role in bringing the Civil War storyline from Marvel’s comicbooks to the bigscreen and trigger the start of a new phase of movies from Marvel Studios.

The actor is in final negotiations to play the billionaire in the yet-to-be-titled third installment, that is slated to begin production in the Spring for a May 6, 2016, release, according to sources close to the discussions. Downey suits up as the superhero in next summer’s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” as part of a previous deal that also calls for him to reprise the role in “The Avengers 3.”- Variety.com

I NEED THIS TO HAPPEN!! I'm a huge RDJ fan and him and Steve were awesome in the Avengers!

Mortal Instruments news: Mortal Instruments is being made into a TV series. 

"“It actually makes sense to do (the novels) as a TV series,” Constantin film and TV head Martin Moszkowicz told THR. “There was so much from the book that we had to leave out of the Mortal Instruments film. In the series we'll be able to go deeper and explore this world in greater detail and depth.” The Mortal Instruments series is part of a broader strategic shift at Constantin that will see the German-based company move into English-language television series. Moszkowicz said Constantin is looking at possible television adaptations of several of its English-language movie properties, including period serial killer drama Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and the Resident Evil sci-fi horror franchise."-Hollywoodreporter.com

In other news... Jennifer Lawrence WON AN OSCAR!!! 

For all you bookish people who think she won it for Hunger Games... NO SHE DID NOT. It was for Silver Linings Playbook (a movie I have not seen YET!) 
but I love her and I couldn't resist sharing this video of hers...

My Thoughts on The Hunger Games(Movie)

So I finally saw The Hunger Games....

I will say that my expectations were SKY HIGH !

Like Really HIGH!

So I was a little disappointed ....but the movie was very faithful to the book and Jennifer Lawrence was AMAZING as Katniss (That girl can act!)

Positives

Isabelle Fuhrman

• I  loved the scenes that were not originally part of the book (Eg.Seneca Crane and President Snow talking,The Gamechangers controlling the game..)
• I  really liked the way they showed Katniss's hallucinations 
• I absolutely loved how Seneca and President Snow were portrayed! Their presence was felt.I didn't really feel their presence in the first book.
• Haymitch was a great surprise in the movie.I hated Haymitch in the book but I really liked him in the movie ...I never saw what he did in that way and I loved him!
• Isabelle Fuhrman who played Clove in the movie .She had a small role but I thought she was perfect!!! (I was convinced she was Foxface for a long time.... )
• The scene in which Katniss says "Thank you for your consideration" Just like I imagined  
• The District 11 scene.LOVE!
• The technology of the Capitol was very impressive .Loved seeing the gadgets.
• *SPOILER for movie* I loved the way they showed Seneca being offered the berries at the end it was the most awesome scene ever! *SPOILER FOR MOVIE ENDS*

     

Negatives

• “One more time? For the audience?" he says. His voice isn't angry. It's hollow, which is worse. Already the boy with the bread is slipping away from me. 
  I take his hand, holding on tightly, preparing for the cameras, and dreading the moment when I will finally have to let go.”   Remember this line and the conversation before that? It isn't there in the movie and before you start saying that it's an insignificant detail let me tell you why it's not. I saw the movie with a person who hasn't read the book and at the end of the movie she was convinced that Peeta and Katniss were together because It wasn't mentioned anywhere that she was acting like she was in love with Peeta in the arena and at the end there's nothing that points towards the fact that they aren't in love with each other and that they aren't together. (her argument) This totally changes the entire ending of the book and I'm pretty annoyed about this.Maybe this will be explained in the next movie?
• I like Josh Hutcherson I really do but I couldn't really connect with the Peeta onscreen.This had nothing to do with his acting but everything to do with the cave scene ... it was well done but there was something missing.I fell in love with Peeta after the cave scene in the book and sadly I just thought that the movie didn't do it as well ...
• The cornucopia.That's all I'm going to say.
• I felt that at some points the games were a little rushed and the build up to the games was dragging a "little" bit.I think some scenes needed a little more time in the games (Eg.cave scene and Rue..)
• Cinna.I don't have a problem with the actor.The actor was fine I had a problem with the fact that he looked too normal.I loved the rapport that he had with Katniss but the Cinna in the book I'm pretty sure would not be wearing normal clothes ...like jeans or trousers .

Overall, the movie leaves a lasting impression(JUST LIKE THE BOOK ) and I  will most probably love it much more once I watch it again.

Thanks to this article.I discovered that Entertainment Weekly had a new issue I had a special interest in....

You all must be knowing that

This guy

was Peeta(I know he's not blonde!HOW COULD THEY!)

and 

This guy

was Gale(Yes,he's blonde and no I have not got the actors mixed up)

But this picture has given me hope....

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Hunger Games:Katniss Fist Look!

When I found out that Jennifer Lawrence is going to play Katniss in The Hunger Games (movie) I was very disappointed because she didn't look like Katniss at all.I mean look at her!

She's blonde! Did I mention the fact that The Hunger Games is an AMAZING book and the fact that they were going to ruin the movie had me almost in tears! But this picture(below) has given me hope!This picture shows the spirit of The Hunger Games.

ARE YOU READY????   

DRUM-ROLL PLEASE.........

Doesn't she look amazing ???? All is not lost yet,folks! There is still hope!

Now, why don't they do us a favor and release a photo of photo of Josh as Peeta.

What do you think about Jennifer in this picture?Does she scream Katniss?
