Shailene Woodley: We're Obsessing Over The 'Secret Life' Star In This Week's Girl Crush

Posted 3/27/12 3:51 pm EST by in Girl Crush, Videos


Actress Shailene Woodley rode a wave of recognition this awards season for her turn as angsty teen Alexandra King in the Oscar-winning film "The Descendants," but TV audiences know the 20-year-old best as teen mom Amy from four seasons of ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." The series returned last night with its spring premiere, and to celebrate, we're naming Shailene this week's Girl Crush.

While we had Shailene on our couch recently, we had to ask the starlet who her own Girl Crush is. "Jennifer Garner," she said without hesitation. "I think she's awesome. She's so philanthropic, and I think that the way she's raising her children is really great, especially with the amount of spotlight on them. She just seems like a really down-to-earth, awesome human being, who's doing really awesome philanthropic things for the world around her."

'Mirror Mirror' Star Lily Collins Says Snow White Is No Damsel In Distress

Posted 3/27/12 11:37 am EST by in Movie News, Movies, Videos


If you've been wondering just what the psychological dealio is with the leading ladies of "Mirror Mirror," then here's a video you'll need to see: Julia Roberts and Lily Collins, who play, respectively, the Evil Queen and the Pretty Princess in the latest cinematic derivative of "Snow White," sat down with MTV News to discuss the intricate inner lives of their characters. And with surprising results!

First off, says Julia, the Evil Queen is hardly a villain. In fact, she's not even Evil! At all!

"I think she's deeply misunderstood," the actress insisted. "And I think she is correct in her ambition and drive and desire and focus to annihilate Snow White. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' Teaser Trailer: Bella Is A Vamp

Posted 3/26/12 9:31 am EST by in Hot Stuff, Movie News, Movies, Twilight Forever!, Videos


Vampire eyes are watching you...

After the teasiest of teases from "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" last week, we're finally getting a look at the full teaser trailer, which debuted in front of "The Hunger Games" in theaters.

And by "full look" we mean about 25 extra seconds. Nonetheless, the extended sneak gives us an even longer look at running Vampire Bella and her newly scarlet peepers.

"After 18 years of being utterly ordinary, I finally found that I can shine," the fresh immortal says in a voiceover, accompanied by shots of her sparkling skin and Usain Bolt-like speed in action. (Too early for Olympics references?)

'Hunger Games': 5 Delicious Morsels You Didn't Taste In The Trailer

Posted 3/23/12 4:35 pm EST by in Movie News, Movies, Videos


In an age when movie trailers reveal nearly every plot and punch line long before fans take their seats in the cineplex, Lionsgate took a unique (and much-welcomed) approach to its marketing of "The Hunger Games," relying heavily on pre-Arena material and leaving nearly all of the Games-centric scenes for ticket-holding movie-goers. And with so much unseen footage, there was a veritable feast of new moments to chew on once we savored the finished product. So, in honor of the film's release today, we've hand-picked five of our favorite first looks from the flick. Dig in, but be warned: slightly spoilerish territory ahead...

The control room
With a simple perspective shift—expanding the goings-on of Panem beyond Katniss' first-person viewpoint—director Gary Ross was able to build upon the world Suzanne Collins established in her best-seller. The tastiest addition? Gamemaker Seneca Crane's lair, otherwise known as the control room, where we watch the schemer utilize high-tech gadgetry to make the Tributes' lives a living hell.

Isabelle Fuhrman: We're Obsessing Over The 'Hunger Games' Star In This Week's Girl Crush

Posted 3/23/12 1:00 pm EST by in Girl Crush, Movies, Videos


"Hunger Games" star Isabelle Fuhrman stopped by the MTV Newsroom this week, and now we're nursing one major Girl Crush on the adorable actress. Not only does she kick butt as District 2's knife-throwing Tribute (we'll forgive you for trying to take Katniss out!), but she's a voracious reader and shares our love of more than a few hot YA titles. So we're making it official: Isabelle is this week's Girl Crush!

As we do, in exchange for the honor, we asked Isabelle to dish which ladies in Hollywood she admires most—and it's an eclectic list to say the least. "Meryl Streep is awesome," she enthused. "I really want to work with Emma Stone; she is adorable. Now I want to work with Octavia Spencer, because I met her and she's really funny."

Liam Hemsworth Weighs In On Miley Cyrus' 'Hunger Games' Future

Posted 3/23/12 8:00 am EST by in Movies, Videos


Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus have been on Hollywood's romantic radar for such a long time that we kinda-sorta thought they'd be one of those couples— you know, the ones who are so super-close that they share EVERYTHING. But nooooooo. Despite their intimate relationship, Liam had not yet allowed his ladylove to see "The Hunger Games" when we spoke to him a few weeks back. Instead, he waited until all the hoopla was out of the way (along with, we're guessing, his own personal anxieties over whether or not his performance sucked), before he relaxed enough to tell her it was okay to check out the film.

"Yeah, she can see it now," he said. "She's excited about it too."

So excited, he said, that she was actually hoping she'd get in early to see it: "She wanted to come the other day, but I didn't allow anyone to come the other day."

For the fandom overlap between Vampire Lovers and Dystopian Diehards, the theatrical release of "The Hunger Games packs an extra dose of excitement: the first trailer for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" will premiere before the hotly anticipated film. And while, of course, audiences will be mostly excited about watching Katniss, Peeta and the rest of the District tributes hacking each other to pieces and incapacitating each other with hallucinogenic hornet-bombs, there's no question that the "Twilight" fans in the audience will be keeping their fingers crossed for a satisfying preview of the saga's final film.

What are they most excited for? We asked the head honchos of three "Twilight" fansites what they hope to see in the first look. Check out their wishes after the jump!

'The Moth Diaries' EXCLUSIVE Featurette: Goth Girls Gone Wild

Posted 3/22/12 12:47 pm EST by in Crush Exclusive!, Movies, Videos


Vampires, vixens and scary supernatural goings-on at gothic boarding schools? Um, YES PLEASE! Somehow, a movie-making, wish-fulfilling fairy godmother has crammed all our most favoritest favorite things into "The Moth Diaries," one seriously crave-worthy flick about death, drama and bloodsucking secrets at a country boarding school...and everyone put on your party pants, because we have one seriously EXCLUSIVE featurette with which to tease you.

We're not kidding when we say that this movie has everything: a foggy and foreboding landscape, a pair of inseparable friends, a creepy new classmate who comes between them in the most insidious way and who may or may not be a vampire, a sympathetic-but-skeptical teacher played by uberhottie Scott Speedman, and a story that mixes gothic mythology and women's studies right in with its spooks and scares.

Wes Bentley On 'Hunger Games' Opening-Scene Surprise

Posted 3/22/12 11:58 am EST by in Movie News, Movies, Videos


If you've been lucky enough to catch an advanced screening of "The Hunger Games, you know that the movie starts in a surprising way: with Seneca Crane and Caesar Flickerman, in a Charlie Rose-style interview that introduces viewers right away to Capitol culture. (And if you haven't caught an advance screening... well, DEAL WITH IT.) And when we sat down with Wes Bentley to ask how he felt about seeing himself on-screen right from the get-go, he confessed that he was thrilled and surprised.

"My eyes got this big," he exclaimed (and then kinda-sorta demonstrated said bigness, although c'mon Wes, as the World Renowned King of Crazy Eyeballs we know you can do better than that.)

But despite the minor shock, Wes agreed wholeheartedly with director Gary Ross's decision to start off with that scene: "It's a great way to open it because it really explains what's going on with the feeling of that world."

'Hunger Games': I Trained Like A Tribute And Lived To Tell

Posted 3/21/12 6:54 pm EST by in Free Things, Movie News, Random Yet Notable, Videos


Katniss Everdeen is in much better shape than I am. It's a rather obvious sentiment, I'm sure, but one I discovered to be true in both theory and practice when I entered New York Sports Club's Arena for their new Train Like A Tribute workout.

Along with a handful of editors—er—Tributes, I was invited to sweat through a 45-minute class inspired by "The Hunger Games" and its tough-as-nails protagonist. After a quick warm-up, we lined up to race towards a makeshift Cornucopia for our supplies (resistance bow, weights, towels, mats—and if we were really lucky—water bottles and snacks), which we then used for a series of circuit workouts. Despite their cheeky names (Katniss Killers, Capitol Crunches, Jabber Jays Jacks, Peeta Presses), the rigorous moves—meant to embody survival skills like tree climbing and archery—packed quite the punch.
