Lionsgate has announced that 'The Hunger Games' is a prequel movie and is officially under construction for the studio. Last summer, reports arrived that Lionsgate was working with The Hunger Games trilogy author Suzanne Collins in hopes of developing a new movie based on her upcoming prequel novella called The Ballad of Songbirds and Snake. Now, Lionsgate has confirmed that this prequel movie is indeed under construction with director Francis Lawrence, screenwriter Michael Arndt, and producer Nina Jacobson. The Hunger Games prequel movie will focus on 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow long before he becomes the tyrant president of Panem. Described as a handsome and charming young man whose family has had serious problems, Coriolanus Snow has been selected as a mentor to the Ten Hunger Games and sees this as a chance to change his luck. To his annoying surprise, he was named mentor to the impoverished District 12 maiden. The original trilogy has followed the rise of Katniss Everdeen's popularity on the television fight to the death called The Hunger Games and her subsequent leading role in the uprising against the fascist government. Lionsgate has released four films based on these books, which have grossed nearly $ 3 billion in total. Are you looking forward to the new movie from The Hunger Games franchise?

Chris Hemsworth continues to share scenes from his upcoming Netflix movie Extraction, directed by Sam Hargrave and produced by Joe and Anthony Russo. Extraction is a military action thriller about a mercenary tasked with saving the son of a crime lord. The film is confirmed to have a 12-minute continuous action scene, and Hemsworth's revelations prove that the movie will be full of action. In a recent Instagram post, the actor shared a behind-the-scenes look at some of the film's choreography, and it looks pretty impressive. Check it out below. Marvel's God of Thunder will replace his famous automatic rifle hammer in Netflix's upcoming action thriller movie Extraction. Chris Hemsworth stars in the movie as Tyler Rake, a black market mercenary hired to rescue the abducted son of an international crime lord. The intense and tense thriller coming out on Netflix on April 24 is a lot different than the movies where fans are used to seeing Hemsworth, which adds to the excitement for his debut. As a mercenary with a dark emotional past, Hemsworth's Tyler Rake is nothing like Thor in appearance or attitude, but no amount of dirt can take away an actor's carved appearance. In fact, according to director Sam Hargrave, the attempt to tarnish Hemsworth for the role somehow only made him better. Extraction is Hargrave's directorial debut, but he's no stranger to high-budget action spectacles, having served as the stunt coordinator on Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. He was also Chris Evans' stunt doubler in various Marvel Studios films. The script for the film is written by one of Endgame director Joe Russo, who also produces the film with his brother Anthony Russo. Extraction is coming to Netflix on April 24 this year.

Maybe you want to read about Review: Color Out of Space (2019).
We looked at the movie Color Out of Space, a modern-day adaptation of one of the most famous horror author stories, H.P. Lovecraft, with Nicholas Cage in the lead role. Of course, what an impression this independent horror film has left us to read in our text. Cast: Nicholas Cage (Nathan Gardner), Joely Richardson (Theresa Gardner), Madeleine Arthur (Lavinia Gardner), Brendan Meyer (Benny Gardner), Elliot Knight (Ward Phillips) Synopsis: A suburb of Arkham. An unusual meteor drops into the backyard of the Gardner family, emitting strange purple light/color, but thankfully no casualties. Young hydrologist Ward Phillips (Elliot Knight) discovers that the water in the vicinity of the place where the meteor has fallen is polluted, and soon strange things begin to happen near the house and unusual plants and animals appear. While struggling with their problems, Gardners have to face the fact that color is a dangerous cosmic entity that will throw them out of the normalcy of their everyday life into the abyss of utter madness. Howard Phillips Lovecraft is one of those writers whose works are notoriously difficult to adapt. They abound with one specific, very personal aesthetic of ugliness and generally one aesthetic that is much easier to describe in words than to visualize. I have already written about Lovecraft and its style in the criticism of the film Lighthouse, but while it was a film that only used elements of Lovecraftian fiction, it was a direct adaptation of one of his most famous stories, The Color Out of Space, 1927. years. This story does not belong to any of the two unofficially defined cycles of his works (the so-called Cthulhu myths and the Dream Cycle), but is a representative example of cosmic horror, a genre whose Lovecraft was a pioneer, if we cannot absolutely to claim that he was also his "father". These stories are different from some of the other famous works ("The Call of Cthulhu", "The Dunwich Horror", The Shadow over Innsmouth) and base their horror on completely different elements, though they share some elements in common with these tales of ancient monsters, such as the arrival of an unknown, alien force whose influence no one can resist supernatural happenings in a small, isolated environment, or the gradual transition of characters from normal to complete madness. Although it must be said that Lovecraft was no Shakespeare and much of what he wrote could be openly labeled as a sound, the fact is that his specific aesthetics make it difficult to adapt to the canvas because of these bizarre elements. But let's see how Stanley did it. Richard Stanley is a relatively obscure South African filmmaker and screenwriter whose until now, his most famous film engagement was the ousting of Dr. Moreau's 1996 adaptation of the Island (that horror movie with Marlon Brand and Val Kilmer) when he replaced it. John Frankenheimer. When you realize that such an obscure character is embarking on an adaptation of otherwise very difficult material to adapt, it makes sense to expect disaster, and if you add to the fact that Nicholas Cage, who played his last good role in the mid-90s, perhaps. selected as the lead actor, you can expect a travesty. However, if, like any normal movie connoisseur, you had exactly those expectations - you'll be honestly mistaken. As objectively as possible, Richard Stanley was able to make a great adaptation of Lovecraft's aesthetic and make a film that, while far from perfect, certainly represents one of the best adaptations of Lovecraft's stories. It should be emphasized here that this is a modern adaptation, so the mere fact that it is housed in modern times is a lost part of Lovecraft's "antique" aesthetic, but Stanley made good use of the story's elements and incorporated them into modern times. However, what most fascinated me about the technical realization was the fact that Stanley was able to capture that complex aesthetic and present, at least in a visual sense, a movie worthy of the cult Lovecraft. Although it may seem cheap at times, the visual effects Stanley envisioned are an authentic Lovecraftian idea and some of the technical crew's ideas are so practical that I was surprised how they came to fruition (here I mean primarily space expansion from the very end of the movie, which works very banal, but when you realize that it is a very faithful representation of Lovecraft's descriptions, then you understand the ingenuity of the whole process). Some elements are very reminiscent of the legendary Carpenter (especially The Thing and In the Mouth of Madness films, the latter of which is based on Lovecraft's prose itself), but all in all - Stanley succeeded in what many authors before him did not succeed, not only convincing but original. The directing itself was more or less good, but in some segments Stanley's directorial limitation was evident, though he must be admitted to have built the horror as it belongs and again according to the criteria set by Lovecraft himself. In this sense, Color Outside This Universe was ultimately truly creepy, and Stanley, despite its slightly awkward beginning, came to feel what was one of the basic features of Lovecraft's horror - powerlessness. All of Lovecraft's characters are helpless pawns in a game of higher powers (be they monsters or cosmic powers), whose ultimate fate depends not on themselves but circumstances completely beyond their control; so it is in this movie, where we see that all of the characters ’attempts to combat the horror that plagues an isolated house not far from Arkham are infamously failing. We have highlighted above those elements in which Stanley was successful, and now we will touch on those somewhat less successful. Fortunately, there aren't many of them, but the combination of those, I would say, is a beginner's blunder and lack of creativity in the script, somewhat diminishing the final impression. In direct terms, Stanley lacked some focus. Although he set the scene well and gave a quiet introduction, Stanley introduced a couple of scenes and elements that didn't fit into one of these horror types (eg teenage issues, self-mutilation, alpacas?). And while some of it may be attributed to the fact that it is a contemporary adaptation - that part of Stanley worked relatively well, as I said - some simply acted rather strangely, even in such a bizarre story. Another directorial problem is that a good portion of the movie had a standard pattern of bad American horror. Yes, Lovecraft did give Stanley some bounce and a lot of freedom, but the latter was not used to the full, so the movie still had some gimmicks that make a good deal of recent American horror invisible. In that sense, Stanley was drawn precisely by Lovecraft, who, with his unique story and special aesthetic, enabled the quality of the film to be improved, whose director did not necessarily add to that quality. In the screenplay sense, it wasn't that much of a problem, but I have to admit that some of the dialogues seemed pretty cringy and unworthy of this movie, but when one looks at the whole, Stanley can be forgiven. What is the biggest problem in the script is also what is the biggest problem in directing, which is - lack of creativity at certain moments. Specifically, I have already said that this movie has a certain amount of scenes that are typical of modern American horror, and this is evident through the scripted treatment of the characters and certain narrative elements. Although there are several examples of this, perhaps the most obvious are the scenes where the characters in the Stanley movie make the same stupid, predictable, and obvious mistakes that all teenagers make in horror when they go to the dark cellar alone, so the guy pokes them with an ax; they are not teenagers in the basement here, but there is a guy who, at a crucial moment, descends into a highly suspicious dog well because - why not ?! Of course, it does not spoil the final impression so much, but it strikes the eye, so it should be pointed out that it is inappropriate for Lovecraft horror. Lovecraft's characters do everything in their power to escape, they look back at no one but themselves, and just understanding them about the inevitability of their destiny gradually leads to insanity (they rarely get away, but these are just exceptions that confirm the rule ). Gardner's were one such thing, however, the script's treatment of these characters was not the most consistent, though they ultimately ended up being all real Lovecraft characters. Speaking of characters, it should be said that Stanley has adapted his characters quite well to the Lovecraft ambiance, though I get the impression that Lavinia Gardner deliberately overestimated her bizarreness. In the end, she does not feel that much and even contributes to herself to some extent horror in a positive way. She is the mainstay of the shop, which is being rotated by all the other family members, Nathan Gardner, interpreted by Nicholas Cage. I know, I know - quite a controversial choice, but despite all my outbursts, I still claim that Cage is not a bad actor at all (as Oscar confirms), he just allowed private nonsense to influence his acting interpretations, so he drastically tarnished his reputation. This movie is Cage's first good role after a long time and, although not completely consistent, Color Outside This Universe has given us an insight into how Cage can act. Ignoring the few angry outbursts in which he (apparently?) Imitated Trump, Cage portrayed Nathan Gardner's psychological collapse and his interpretation of cosmic madness significantly raised the quality of this film. The rest of the cast was staggeringly good, but I would encourage you to pay attention to the character of Ward Phillips since he embodies one of the essential elements of Lovecraftian fiction, the characters who manage to deal with the horror they testify while maintaining - to a greater or lesser extent - their sanity. These are the few lucky ones that Lovecraft allows to survive and talk about what they saw, and Stanley fits that type of character very well into this story. Richard Stanley's Color Out of Space is essentially unexpectedly good and quality horror and without a doubt one of the best adaptations of Lovecraft's otherwise hard-to-adapt stories. Although at times demonstrating very limited creativity and lack of genuine skill and / or experience, Richard Stanley was able to harness the charms of Lovecraft's fiction and, indeed, consistently and at times unexpectedly creatively adapted this cosmic horror to a quality, quite consistent and unexpectedly creative moment. Almost all relevant elements of Lovecraftian fiction are present and well-handled in this adaptation, and those template elements are overall noticeable, but not so much as to significantly spoil the viewing impression. This movie showed us a few things, most important of which are that Lovecraft can adapt well and quality to the canvas and that Nicholas Cage can still play a good role (which is a brilliant win for this movie!) And if Stanley plans to believe that This is the first part of a trilogy that should continue with the adaptation of the story "The Dunwich Horror", then we can look forward to further stories and hope to see the infamous Cthulhu on the screen. Ultimately, it should be emphasized that Color Out of Space has its drawbacks and that it is far from a perfect adaptation, but that it is still an interesting enough, bold enough and quality film that it should be mentioned and should be watched, especially if you are fans of such horror story. In short, Richard Stanley succeeded in what many had not before - quite successfully and authentically adapted one very complex story by H.P. Lovecraft. Although the film is far from perfect and has a few elements typical of bad American horror, Color Out of Space is still an intriguing enough, challenging and imaginative film that will convincingly take you on a journey from facing the unknown to the inevitable fall into the abyss of utter madness, from whom only the strongest and the happiest come out relatively whole. With a strong interpretation of Nicholas Cage, Color Out of Space is a movie that shows us new dimensions of horror and provides a viewing experience almost as unusual as the experience of reading Lovecraft's stories.
