Earlier this week, it was announced that Hollywood newcomers Jack Quaid, Leven Rambin, Amandla Stenberg, and Dayo Okeniyi would play "Hunger Games" competitors, and now another relative unknown has been cast.
As reported by our friends at Hollywood Crush, a young actress by the name of Willow Shield will be playing the coveted role of Primrose Everdeen. The 12-year-old stars as the little sister of "Hunger Games" heroine Katniss, played in the film by Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence. Director Gary Ross said Shield will "make an amazing Prim and we’re very lucky to have her."

Ghost Face is at it again, and some new photos released from "Scream 4" show us that things are going to be as bloody as ever.
The "Scream 4" official Facebook page uploaded some new photos from the upcoming sequel, and needless to say there are a lot of knives, shocked faces and ghost masks floating around in them. The movie, which hits theaters on April 15, is set 10 years after the previous three "Scream" films, and that means 10 years worth of increasingly inventive kills from our dear Ghost Face.
At least one of those kills is shown rather graphically in these photos, so if your stomach can't take it or if you want to keep yourself spoiler-free for the flick, we suggest you skip. But for those of you as curious as we are, click on the photo above to see all of the new "Scream" photos, and head past the jump for our analysis!

If you're not yet excited for "Scream 4," you should probably started getting pumped right about now. Dimension Films has released a new trailer for the upcoming horror satire, and it definitely gives a better feel for what we can expect than the previous teaser did.
The best parts of the trailer come when it pokes fun at all the horror tropes of the past 10 years. For instance, when Sheriff Dewey (David Arquette) won't tell his wife, hard-nosed reporter Gale Weathers-Riley (Courtney Cox), what's going on, she responds that his "classified information" is already all over the Internet. Ghostface challenges newcomer Kirby Reed (Hayden Panettiere) to name a remake of a classic horror film, and before he can finish his question she starts spouting out a dozen films. Oh, and apparently virgins can die now. Hit the jump to watch the trailer! Read More...

The cast of "Scream 4" continues to grow and grow. Lake Bell backed out just this week due to scheduling conflicts, days before production is set to start in earnest, but her role has now been filled by "Grindhouse" star Marley Shelton. She'll play a police officer and old high school friend of Neve Campbell's Sidney.
Also joining the cast are "The O.C." alum Adam Brody and "Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World" actor Erik Knudsen. Brody will also play a cop, one who was raised watching "CSI" on TV. I wonder which flavor? My money's on him as the killer. Knudsen's role appears to be comparable to Jamie Kennedy's in the original "Scream"; he'll have a lot of knowhow about horror movie conventions, and will serve as comic relief. Head over to The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog for the full story.

The cast of “The Oranges” is growing a whole lot juicier. Just after word got out that "House" star Hugh Laurie could make the dark comedy his much-anticipated first lead role in a film, The Hollywood Reporter announces that a slew of top-notch actors are interested in joining him. Adam Brody, Alia Shawkat, Catherine Keener and Allison Janney are all in negotiations to sign onto TV director Julian Farino’s debut in the features department.
The script by Ian Helfer and Jay Reiss, which you may remember as the piece holding the #2 spot on the 2008 black list, has Laurie starring as man who gets romantic with the daughter of a family friend. That young lady was speculated to be played by either Leighton Meester or Mila Kunis, but according to the THR report, Meester has won out. Read More...

Could Hollywood really be making a movie that will be marketed on billboards and marquees nationwide as “A Couple of Dicks”? The answer is yes… and, well… no.
“That was everyone’s intention, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen,” Adam Brody told MTV recently, echoing Kevin Smith’s statements that he may have to change the name of his now-wrapped Bruce Willis-Tracy Morgan buddy cop comedy. “We were talking about [changing the name]; you can’t really advertise that before 9[pm on TV] if that’s the case, so that really hampers [the studio].” Read More...

These days, Megan Fox’s career is nearly as hot as… well… she is. At the same time, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more desired screenwriter in Hollywood than the Oscar-winning lady behind “Juno,” Diablo Cody. Factor in demon possession, girl-on-girl brawling and Fox in a cheerleading costume, and you can see why “Jennifer’s Body” is looking mighty good.
“I just did ADR on it,” Fox said of the late-stage voiceover work that that marked the end of her role in the film as it enters post-production for a September release. “There’s this scene in a kitchen. I can’t reveal too much -- but it’s the first time you see me cross over from human to whatever this weird thing is that I’ve become. I actually truly frightened myself -- which I’m excited about.” Read More...

If you had called Seann William Scott and Adam Brody a couple of d---s a few days ago, it would've been a mere matter of harsh opinion. Today, it is a matter of fact.
The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop that the "Role Models" actor and the former "The O.C." star have both signed on for Kevin Smith's latest project, "A Couple of Dicks." The film, which begins shooting on Monday, is a buddy cop action-comedy starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as two detectives trying to track down a valuable stolen baseball card. From the sound of it, Scott and Brody's roles are directly linked to the film's central plot. Read More...
