Don't get attached to any of your favorite characters in the upcoming second season of "Game of Thrones," because star Lena Headey warns that "it can be bye-bye any time."

Her costar Sean Bean found that out the hard way in season one, but Headey teased that her character Cersei is splintering off on a very different path in season two. Westeros's favorite mad queen is on top of the world after she managed to kill off some of her many enemies in season one, and Headey teased that Cersei's power hungry tendencies might start to get the better of her.

"It's intriguing because she's crazy," Headey said with a laugh. "Under the whole stoic thing, she's a little nuts."

Anyone who follows us here at Movies Blog and MTV News, for that matter, is well aware that we're just a little excited about "Dark Shadows," Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's next collaboration. In addition to our gushing over all the released photos, Depp weighed in on the subject himself, calling his Barnabas Collins a "classic monster character," and the film's composer Danny Elfman promised a "fun" and "wild" film.

Today we have more warm fuzzy words about the film via co-star Chloe Moretz, who we ran into at Spike's Scream Awards, where she talked about her experience making the film and why the film is so special.

“It was pretty amazing. I mean working with Tim Burton has always been a dream for me, so to actually get on set and work with Tim, and be in it with Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter and Michelle Pfeiffer, it was a dream come true because they are all my idols," she said. "To work people like that that know how to do it, and how to get it. It was really special I learned a lot.”

"The Dark Knight Rises" provided a double dose of news yesterday. First and foremost is the report that Christopher Nolan is planning to shoot the ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City as part of his third and final Batman movie. It's said that he wouldn't be incorporating the actual Occupy Wall Street message into his film, but would be using the protests to enhance preexisting portions of the "Dark Knight Rises" story line.

Additionally, Batman veteran Cillian Murphy had to battle a tough line of questioning regarding whether or not he's returning as Jonathan "Scarecrow" Crane when "The Dark Knight Rises" rolls into town. The man didn't give up any spoilers, but it's not for lack of trying on his interviewers' parts.

Jason Statham's name has been thrown around quite a bit in the past two weeks. Last week, rumors began circulating that Statham could potentially join the next two installments of the "Fast and the Furious" series, which would film back-to-back. Now similar talk surrounds a different car-related franchise.

Variety reported this morning that the next two "Transformers" movies could film back-to-back and star — guess who — Jason Statham. The report comes months after rumors first surface that the British action star could take the reigns once the current lead, Shia LaBeouf, left the series. But when MTV News spoke with Statham at last month's Toronto International Film Festival, he claimed to know nothing about the "Transformers" talk.

"You know, I don't know how those things start. You read them. Someone told me about it. [But] the internet is a dangerous place," he laughed. "There's a lot of stuff out there."

There's no Earthly way of knowing which direction we are going after taking a literal and figurative trip on Willy Wonka's boat ride from Hell.

If you were fortunate enough to have the Gene Wilder-starring "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" as part of your regular movie viewing schedule as a child, then chances are extremely high that you're just as traumatized as I am by Willy and the gang's disturbing jaunt through the chocolate river's tunnel. Boasting some of the most memorable and unsettling lyrics and imagery ever committed to film, this "Willy Wonka" scene is a hallmark of my childhood, one that terrified me to the core on my first viewing and one that still sends shivers down my spine when I think about it too hard today.

That's why I'm giddier than a boy on illegally acquired Fizzy Lifting Drinks to present to you this exclusive clip from the "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" Ultimate Collector's Edition, out on DVD today (October 18). Celebrate the film's 40th anniversary — yes, it's been 40 years, believe it or not — by revisiting Mr. Wonka's more than questionable decision to lead a group of children and their adult guardians down a sugary sweet river of doom.

FROM MTV MOVIES: "Wait till you see Stanley Tucci do Caesar Flickerman," teased "Hunger Games" director Gary Ross back in August as MTV News was getting set to debut first-look footage from the upcoming adaptation of the best-selling young-adult series.

We had to wait then — the teaser only showcased Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen — and we continue to wait to finally peep Tucci as Flickerman, the flamboyantly attired interviewer who chats with each tribute before the start of the gladiatorial competition known as the Hunger Games. But whenever fans do get to check out Flickerman, they can be sure the character will stay true to the guy readers are familiar with from Suzanne Collins' novels.

How do we know? Tucci told us himself.

Remember when Anne Hathaway took to the Oscars stage to great acclaim? No, the entirety of her hosting gig wasn't a success, but when she sang "On My Own" opposite Hugh Jackman at this year's show, she impressed everyone with her Broadway-ready vocals and moves.

Well, Anne is ready to reunite with her Oscar partner (Jackman, not Franco) as Deadline reports that the star has signed on as Fantine in an upcoming big screen adaptation of "Les Miserables," with Jackman appearing as Jean Valjean.
