It’s absolutely hard to believe that the release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is just around the corner. It seems like yesterday that we were obsessing about some of the first Stills and casting announcements for the Film.

In advance of its release in November comes this amazing new Poster of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen in all her greatness!   Lawrence looks stunning and although it takes a bit of a mental shift remembering her as a Brunette, we are totally buying it.

The Poster reminds us, “Remember who the Enemy is”, which suggests tons of betrayal in this Installment?

Take a look at the brand new Poster below:

 If you haven’t heard it yet, you must check-out Christina Aguilera‘s superb contribution to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire‘s OST.  Easily her best Track in years:

Although there’s been no confirmation of this premiering at TIFF ’13, we’re still holding hope that David O. Russell‘s (The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook) upcoming ’70s-era Crime-Drama, American Hustle, will get a bow in Toronto here in September.

The Film is based on the True Story for the ABSCAM Operation in which a Con Artist and his Girlfriend are enlisted by Federal Agent to turn the tables on other Con Artists, Politicians and Mobsters.

This brand new Trailer looks and feels absolutely authentic to the Era.  You must see it:

I love the idea of Amy Adams getting arrested and having a meltdown. I think I actually am in love with this Movie already!

“Remember who the real Enemy is”.

Those lucky Folks attending San Diego Comic-Con this weekend got to see first this new Trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and wow, have they ever stepped it up?  The Sequel to the 2012 Box Office Smash sees Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) drawn once again to compete in the 75th Hunger Games, competing against other previous Victors.  “Who does she think she is? She has to be eliminated”, says President Snow (Donald Sutherland) upon learning of Katniss’ rebellion against The Capitol.

With the Cannes Film Festival kicking into high gear this weekend, the Director and Principal Cast of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire held a Photo Call earlier today at Majestic Hotel.  Was it ever an extravagant affair!  Stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Sam Claflin (just in Toronto this week) attended along with Director Francis Lawrence.   No sign of Josh Hutcherson however, as he’s in Panama filming the Thriller, Paradise Lost alongside Benicio del Toro.

See the amazing Display they set-up for the Film below:

It also has been announced that Covergirl will be partnering with the Film to release a limited edition Makeup Collection inspired by the Film!

Things undisputably are on the up-and-up for Sam Claflin. The 26-year-old British Actor who made a splash in Box Office Smashes Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Snow White & The Huntsman, soon after was cast in upcoming The Hunger Games Sequel, Catching Fire, in the coveted role of Finnick Odair.  Co-Star Jennifer Lawrence in fact also arrived on Canadian soil this weekend to begin work on X-Men: Days of Future Past, being spotted in Montreal Sunday night!

Claflin, arrived in Toronto over the weekend, to begin a few days only of Production on Rom-Com, Love, Rosie, opposite Rising Star Lily Collins, who practically is now a Torontonian after all the time she’s spent here this past year! The Film centers around a pair of Friends who are separated when one (Alex, played by Claflin) relocates with his Family to America and one remains in Dublin (Rosie, played by Collins).  “Can Friendship and Love survive distance and separation?”, we are asked in this Adaptation of  the popular Novel by Cecelia Ahern (P.S. I Love You).  Toronto of course, has been cast in the role of Boston, where part of the Story is set, with the remainder of Production taking place in Dublin.

It has just been announced that Lionsgate Films will distribute The Quiet Ones, a Poltergeist-Horror which has him starring opposite a currently-in-Toronto Jared Harris, with a release date set for April 25, 2014.  Meanwhile, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, also from Lionsgate Films (eOne Films in Canada), sees a November 22, 2013 release.

I spotted a redheaded Claflin, out and about earlier today arriving to work and he was awful nice to stop for a quick Snap, happy that I’m excited for Catching Fire.  He even signed a Photo for you my Readers, although that will be timed for later in the year. Stay tuned to Mr. Will Wong on Facebook for more on that!

Such a complete delight partaking in the festivities of the 2013 Costume Institute Gala (Met Gala) this year in New York City.  The Gala celebrates the Metropolitan Museum‘s annual opening of the Fashion Exhibit at the Costume Institute, bringing together the Worlds of Film, Music and Fashion. Although it’s 6:00 AM and I have yet to sleep a wink, I’ve had a blast chasing the Stars and enjoying the Fashions, celebrating the theme of Punk!  Although some were faithful to it, there were also several diversions, resulting in a large variety to the eye.

Yes, it was surreal being an arm’s length from Madonna who looked fun and edgy in her Cleopatra Hair and seeing Natalie Portman clash at once with her on the  Red Carpet with her, only for her to acquiesce and let the reigning Queen of Pop shine in her metallic Givenchy Haute Couture Dress.  I am still in awe of Beyoncé‘s marvelous Givenchy Gown, which drew the most applause from Onlookers who lined the streets for a glimpse outside the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).  Or how about getting an air kiss from this year’s Host Rooney Mara after telling her how much I admire her work?  And I cannot deny how surreal it was seeing Sofia Coppola walk arm-in-arm with Marc Jacobs – two of my favourite People!  Or how about witnessing a warm embrace between Girls Star/Writer/Producer Lena Dunham and equally brilliant Mindy Kaling?  And did I mention I accidentally stepped-on Jessica Alba‘s dress?

The Parties continued well into the morning, with the main event taking place at The Standard Hotel, where the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Rita Ora, Cara Delevingne, Madonna, Katy Perry, Carey Mulligan and a newly-blonde Anne Hathaway, stirred-up some madness.  Lawrence in particular raised a frenzy among Fans and Paparazzi alike, zipping along with tactical speed into her SUV.

See a Montage below of Clips I took from the Evening.  You won’t believe how crazy things got for Jennifer Lawrence!

Beyond excited!  I’m packing-up and heading out to New York City for a few days to capture the Festivities at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which always has been a dream of mine to experience.  Like the rest of us I won’t be inside, but still I’ll be admiring the Fashion from the outside and sure to snap lots of Photos and hopefully meet some of my Idols!  The theme this year is Punk and hosting is Rooney Mara, while Beyoncé will act as Honourary Chair.

Things will be a bit quiet for the next couple days, but be sure to check back upon my return for what surely will be lots of excitement!  Expected this year are the likes of Amanda Seyfried, Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Rihanna, Florence Welch, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lawrence, Cara Delevingne, Kanye West and several, several more.

If you’d like to join-in on the fun at watch the Met Gala Red Carpet, be sure to stream it live 7:00 PM EST on Monday, May 6, 2013.  Click here to Vogue‘s Live Streaming.

See you when I’m back!  I’ll be uploading Photos on my Instagram and Twitter in the interim, so check there for the latest!

The Avengers won top honours tonight at 2013 MTV Movie Awards held at Los Angeles’ Sony Pictures Studios, nabbing coveted Movie of the Year, in addition to Best Fight and Best Villain with British Actor Tom Hiddleston.  The Blockbuster uniting various Marvel Superheroes, grossing over $1.5 billion worldwide has a Sequel on the way, scheduled for May 1, 2015.

Silver Linings Playbook not only won Jennifer Lawrence her first Oscar,  but she always was awarded Best Actress as was her Co-Star Bradley Cooper, who earned Best Actor. Both currently are reuniting with Director David O. Russell on his latest as-yet-untitled Film, along with Christian Bale and Jeremy Renner with production taking place in Boston.

Although a Sequel is still in the works, the Cast of Sleeper Hit Pitch Perfect reunited on-stage at the beginning of the Show tonight, eventually going on to win Best Musical Moment.  Star Rebel Wilson filled hosting duties tonight and dared to shock with some controversially over-the-top outfits including a double-nipple number.

In an odd turn of events, Funnywoman Aubrey Plaza crashed Will Ferrell‘s Acceptance Speech, wrestling his Comedic Genius Award out of his hand.  It was learned that she later was ejected from the Venue for her behaviour, although it is said she purely behaved so as a Publicity Stunt for her upcoming Film The To-Do List. Point taken.

Fan Favourite The Twilight Saga of course didn’t walk away empty despite the Franchise having ended.  Its Star Taylor Lautner was awarded Best Shirtless Scene.
