So far, the majority of the announced cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past have been returning mutants, but what about new mutants. Well hint, hint, Bryan Singer‘s dropped a little knowledge on us this morning in the form of a Vine video. The 6-second clip from the social networking site reveals several directors chairs with the names of various X-Men characters on them. So we get to see names like “Magneto,” “Storm,” “Kitty Pryde,” “Bobby ‘Iceman’ Drake,” and… Wait, what’s that? “Bishop,” and “James ‘Warpath’ Proudstar?!

To the uninitiated, Warpath is the brother of John Proudstar, a mutant who went by the code name Thunderbird and joined the X-Men after the original team was kidnapped by Krakoa, the living island. Thunderbird was killed on another mission a short time later, but his brother James would go on to join the upstart mutant group X-Force. Bishop, meanwhile, is a refugee from the future where mutants were rounded up into concentration camps by Sentinels. After being liberated, Bishop joined a group of mutant cops only to end up going back in time to the 20th century during the pursuit of a mutant fugitive.

So who’s playing Bishop and Warpath? Well, French actor Omar Sy was already rumored to be playing Bishop in the film, and Booboo Stewart, by virtue of being Native American, is probably a safe bet for Warpath.

Days of Future Past is currently in production for a July 18, 2014 release. The film co-stars Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Michael Fassbender, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, and Peter Dinklage.

Oscar winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence, has suffered for her craft, and no more so than when she endured the hours of make-up and prosthetics over her entire body to play the blue-skinned, shape shifting mutant, Mystique. She had such severe reactions to the make-up a doctor had to be called to set to treat her.

So for X-Men: Days of Future Past another way a turning JLaw blue is being used, a body suit. Speaking with E!, Lawrence shared her wildly hectic schedule, for example, the day after The Oscars she had to have her hair dyed back to Katniss brunette because she was flying to Hawaii for two weeks of Catching Fire re-shoots, and talked a little X-Men,

I’m so excited because I’m going to wear a body suit. It will be from neck down so it will cut out time and the blisters.

Shooting begins “May-ish.” I haven’t read the script yet. I haven’t had 30 minutes. They literally gave me the script and I was like, ‘I can’t read this until Monday.’

Oh right, because she’s also squeezing in another film with Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russel and co-star Bradley Cooper before she heads off to shoot X-Men. Man, this girl is crazy busy!

But what do you think of them switching to a body suit over body paint? I’m okay with it as long as it looks good, which I’m sure it will. Otherwise they wouldn’t have made the change. These people aren’t stupid, they’d have made her suffer again, like poor John Rhys-Davies in LOTR, if it was the only way to turn her into a convincing Mystique.

2012 was a sizeable year for movies adapted from fantasy works. Among them were some smash-hit blockbusters such as The Dark knight Rises, The Avengers, and The Hobbit. Unfortunately, the only nerd-related movie that received an Oscar nod was The Avengers, for it’s visual effects. We were also excited that Seth MacFarlene was hosting.

At first, I was worried that Seth’s humor was going to get watered-down by the network, but I was soon relieved when he came out strong with a few quick burns. Seth wasted no time throwing funny jabs at the celebrities who were both in attendance and not, getting in playful but sometimes sharp swings at Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Afflack, Daniel Day Lewis, Chris Brown, Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson.

Seth was not shy in poking at The Academy for not nominating Ben Affleck for best Director for Argo, even though the film had been nominated for Best Film. “The film is so top secret that the film’s director is unknown to the Academy,” MacFarlane said to a lot of applause. “They know they screwed up.”

I do think that Seth fares better on shows like The Comedy Central Roasts. He’s the kind of host that needs to get off his wisecracks, burns and satire, and we all know how sensitive actors can be, especially at awards ceremonies where they expected to be praised for their work, non-stop. Some of his material would have gotten better reactions with an easier-going audience.

Save for a few obligatory lulls and must-have segments, the three-and-a-half-hour show moved along fairly swiftly. With Seth hosting, we got a bit of a “roast-of” video about the whole thing. We saw plenty of serious and dramatic moments, but he was able to add right amount of humor to even-out the mood.

Here are a few of my highlights, followed by the complete list of winners:

• William Shatner had a Captain Kirk moment getting a respectably funny sketch with Seth. Captain Kirk showed Seth a tweets from the future, saying that Seth was the worst Oscars host, ever. Bill Shatner, Seth McFarlane, the gay men’s chorus of LA and a musical number about boobs… yeah, it was pretty epic.

• The visual effects award was presented fifth. The Avengers lost to Life Of Pi. Although, Ang Lee (Director, Life Of Pi) and crew did a hell of a job with the special effects in their movie, it was still disappointing to see The Avengers, the only Nerd movie of the year to get an Oscar nod, lose out.

• There were some necessary segments, such as the 50th anniversary James Bond video tribute, presented by Halle Berry. Her rejected Bond villain inspired dress got more of the spotlight. Oh, and speaking of Bond, Shirley Bassey got wheeled out of her retirement home to sing a weird and uncomfortable rendition of “Gold Finger”. I felt compelled to masturbate, it was so awkward.
  

• I was back laughing again during John Travolta’s cringe-worthy pronunciation of “Les Miserables,” which was akin to watching a stereotypical french mime dancing around with white gloves on.

• The show carried on with a decent amount of humor, some good memorial moments and Anne Hathaway’s dress looking like an apron. An apron with nipples.

• Good Lord, what’s happened to Rene Zellweger? She’s gone conclave. Her face is on the inside of her skull.

• Wolverine came out and disappointed me with a lame song-and-dance, with Hugh Jackman doing a Les Miserables. Once you play Wolverine, you should be legally bound to play him in every movie and role that you’re star in for the rest of your career.

• Mark Wahlberg and Ted come out and Ted let a couple of edgy lines go, adding to the “roast” feel that Seth was injecting into the show. By the way, Walhberg needs to lay of the HGH. Dude looked liked he was gonna explode in his suit. I assume Michael Bay planned to detonate him in the parking lot, but it would have cost $400 million dollars. *special thanks to Matthew Jackson for that joke.

• Charlize Theron and Dustin Hoffman were an awkwardly-paired couple due to the height difference between the two of them. I was waiting for Dustin to turn around too fast and walk right into Theron’s cleavage.

• Kristen Stewart still looks like she’s a vampire. A sleepless vampire. On meth. Seriously, did that girl get hit by a bus or something. She looked awful.

• It was fun seeing Adele Adkins & Paul Epworth win Original Song for Skyfall. Who at NerdBastards doesn’t love a good Bond song?

• There was really only one malfunction moment of the night, when Jennifer Lawrence fell up the stairs, going to collect her trophy for Best Actress. I thought that she had won for Best Stunt-woman, but quickly recovered, and was helped to the stage by Hugh Jackmam, who I think in retrospect, was just praying on a woman on all fours.

• Daniel Day Lewis became the first actor in history to win three Actor In A Leading Role awards, with his win for Best Actor In A Lead Role, for Lincoln

• It was a nice surprise to see Tarantino pickup his second Oscar for Best Original Screen Play for his western slave revenge flick Django Unchained. He won his first for Pulp Fiction way back in 1994. That was back before he was compelled to visually insert his foot fetish in his films.

• Ben Affleck accepted the honor of Best Film, for Argo, and gave a very gratitude-filled rapid-fire (seriously, I think he downed 80 pixie sticks while Jack Nicholson announced the nominees) of thank-you’s to other people involved in the making of the movie.

  All in all, it was a night of sexist jokes, boring acceptance speeches, and music that lacked attention.

There’s two new posters for director Francis Lawrence‘s adaptation of Suzanne Collins‘ Catching Fire, the second installment of the immensely popular The Hunger Games trilogy. After Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Petra (Josh Hutcherson) win the 74th annual Hunger Games they are sent on a Victory Tour of the 12 districts. These are two of the promotional posters for that tour.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens November 22nd in theaters everywhere and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, Woody Harrelson, Jena Malone, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amanda Plummer, Lynn Cohen, Patrick St. Esprit, Meta Golding, Bruno Gunn, Alan Ritchson, E. Roger Mitchell, Maria Howell, Stephanie Leigh Schlund, Sam Claflin and Jeffrey Wright.

If you haven’t seen Jennifer Lawrence in Silver Linings Playbook yet you’re really missing out a stellar performance. I was on the fence about her acting talent, but after watching her in that movie all my doubts disappeared. Now I want to see her bring that intensity to The Hunger Games. If she does, there is not telling how much the 3 remaining Hunger Games movies might bring in.

We all know it’s hard enough to maintain movie set-secrecy in the age of internet journalism with potential spies and secret spillers everywhere, but et tu, Google?

Yes indeed, if you want to not be spoiled about a key set in this fall’s sequel The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, then avert your eyes now. In other words: SPOILERS!!!

For the rest of you, you may or may not know that Catching Fire brings us the 75th edition of the Hunger Games, the Quarter Quell. In the book, champions from all previous Hunger Games are entered to be competitors, including our hero Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence). The layout of the arena is, shall we say, unique. Check out the view from Google Earth:

If you’re curious, and you haven’t read the book, the arena is clock shaped, like a giant sundial. New horrors are unleashed at the top of every hour as the light of the sun or the moon moves across the sky. You can click to embiggen if you like.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Liam Hemsworth, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Elizabeth Banks, Donald Sutherland, Jena Malone, Jeffrey Wright, and Amanda Plummer opens November 22nd.

We’ve been hearing a lot of talk about which X-Men, past and present, will appear in the upcoming sequel, but who’s being left out of the loop? Well, it appears that everyone’s second favorite telepath may be one of the mutants who will sit out the next cinematic chapter of X-Men, at least that’s according to her portrayer, January Jones.

Talking to Collider while attending the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, Jones let it slip that she doesn’t know much about X-Men: Days of Future Past, up to, and including, whether or not she’s in it.

“I don’t know that I’m in it, I don’t think Emma’s in this one,” she said. “Well they haven’t told me if I am.”

Weird, right? Considering that X-Men: First Class ended with Emma being recruited into the first iteration of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants by Magneto (Michal Fassbender). But according to Jones, she didn’t even get a chance to read the script for First Class until she was on her way to the set, and besides, everything she’s heard about the film, she’s not even sure where Emma fits in.

“It’s called Days of Future Past I think, and I think it’s more about James [McAvoy] and Michael [Fassbender] and then Patrick [Stewart] and Ian [McKellan], and I think it’s gonna go back and forth with those so I don’t think Emma’s in those bits. I don’t know, I really don’t know,” Jones said.

Cast members already confirmed for the film include McAvoy, Fassbender, Stewart, and McKellan, along with Nicholas Hoult (Beast from First Class), Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique from First Class) and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine who’s appeared in all X-Men movies thus far).

X-Men: Days of Future Past is scheduled to be released on July 18, 2014. Expect production to begin sometime later this year, and expect more casting news anytime now.

Lionsgate has released a teaser poster for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and it doesn’t hurt the franchise that it’s star, Jennifer Lawrence just received the Best Actress Golden Globe for her role in Silver Linings Playbook. You can expect to see “Golden Globe winner” in most of the upcoming marketing for Catching Fire. There are also some production stills worth taking a look at below.

Katniss and Petra on their celebration tour that goes bad quickly.

Katniss and Fennick getting a little together time before the games begin.

Katniss and Gayle, not sure where in the story this scene is, most likely District Twelve, perhaps before Gayle is punished for trying to sell that turkey to the new Peace Keeper.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, Woody Harrelson, Jena Malone, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amanda Plummer, Lynn Cohen, Patrick St. Esprit, Meta Golding, Bruno Gunn, Alan Ritchson, E. Roger Mitchell, Maria Howell, Stephanie Leigh Schlund, Sam Claflin and Jeffrey Wright. The movie hits theater screens on November 22nd.

Without anymore Twilight in sight (and thank Jeebus for that), what are tweens to do? Oh, wait… that’s right, we still have The Hunger Games!  If it’s not metro-sexual vampires and shirtless werewolves to feign over, fanatical teen girls and boys just love watching their ilk compete in a murderous death matches on the silver screen. Which, in my opinion, is SO age appropriate…NOT! Meh,  I guess it beats hearing them talk about Beiber and One Direction.

It’s just not kids. Most adults and grand old people are infatuated with Suzanne Collins renowned series. When the film adaption came out last year, it took the world by fire. The Hunger Games is so culturally relevant that archery sales/classes are up, and parents or naming their kids Katniss and Peeta. It’s kind of ridiculous really. But, whatevs. It is what it is. Just gotta roll with it.

Speaking of fire. The sequel Catching Fire is coming out in a few months, and it’s gonna be big.

For all y’all hungering for a preview, we’ve got a treat. Today, EW released the first official images of star Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen and Sam Claflin as Finnick Odair.

Take a gander below:

Update: EW has posted a few more pics, which we’ve added below. One of which, gives us our first look at Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee.
