Harry Potter The Poet!

The boy who lived Daniel Radcliffe will never completely shake his lightning-scarred alter-ego, but that's not to say he isn't trying out a variety of new roles - and succeeding!

The surprise hit Woman In Black showed us that Radcliffe is no one-trick thestral, and now he is taking on the persona of the farther of american beat poetry, Allen Ginsberg.

Jennifer Lawrence Is Happy To Embody Katniss, Three Times Over!

katniss-for-life.jpg

Thank goodness, because we don’t think we can see any other young actress out there portray our girl Katniss!

Even with all the hubub over the impending release of the Hunger Games movie, pre-production prep for Catching Fire, the second installment in the epic trilogy, is already in motion.

While Jennifer Lawrence has repeatedly said she loves playing the character of Katniss, she’s not quite ready to dish about her feelings on playing her in Catching Fire:

Harry Potter Website Finally Launching In April

Filed under: Harry Potter > Tech Talk

Remember Pottermore

Remember Pottermore?

No? The website that was promoted as "everything Harry Potter" from an interactive adventure to being able to buy the digital copies of the series? That one?

Still no?

Well anyway, it's finally being launched in April, after a small launch in October showed them that it was "clear that our original platform wouldn't be suitable when millions more users came on to the site."

We're not sure if anybody is actually excited for it at this point, like they were back when there were early adopters…

… unless U guys are still excited? Are U??

Wow! So selfless!

Can't fault her for that!

Star Wars Doesn't Want To Make Money Off Of Everything, Rejects Merchandise Ideas

300px-star_wars_logo-web.jpg

Star Wars salt and pepper shakers?! Someone MUST already have these! Then again…

We've come to learn that Star Wars creators rejected merchandise ideas similar to the salt and pepper shakers.

Jason Geyer and his buddies tried to package some merch ideas, including a R2-D2 wet bar and Yoda bottle cappers for Pepsi products. You know, the kind of some fans EAT UP as swag at Comic-Con and dig through 30 boxes of cereal to find.

But the Star Wars execs weren't buying it…at all…

And who could blame them? The franchise is the second highest grossing series, behind Harry Potter, and they've made a lot of dough doing it.

The franchise has made $1.6 billion in video games, $9B in toys, and a whopping $20B in licensing fees!

Sorry Jason and Co., Star Wars will be just fine with their own merchandise.

Check out the pics below to see their ideas. Would U buy any of these?
