A better world might not be the only good thing to come from the Supreme court's marriage equality debates! It looks like the Prop 8 movie is getting the fast track!

Last year, Dustin Lance Black put on a play called 8 in NYC and L.A. — and Rob Reiner, one of the directors, already knew he wanted to take it to the big screen!

Of COURSE there's going to be a big-screen adaptation, and Black is on track (that rhymes!) to finish up that script as fast as he can! Which makes sense, because the media buzz around the debates has been huge. If you're going to bank off of it (and inspire everyone while you're at it), it better be now!

We're hearing it's slated to be directed by Reiner, but shooting probably won't happen until June or July — when the Supreme Court finally rules on the ridiculousness of Prop 8. No word on who will star, but if they take any of the cast members for either city, it'll be perfect!

In L.A., it was

Well, if it couldn't be Alex Pettyfer or Alexander Ludwig…

This hot piece of DELICIOUS is certainly no disappointment!

The search for the male lead opposite Shailene Woodley in the big-screen adaptation of Veronica Roth's Divergent has FINALLY come to an end, and after much speculation, recently-cast Goldenboy star Theo James, who has also appeared in Downton Abbey and Underworld: The Awakening, has landed the part of Four!

Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger, Co-Chairmen of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, say in a statement:

Ah, the silky smooth master of style!

He could play dress up with us any time, LOLz!!

As Lionsgate's latest Capitol Portrait so obviously displays, Lenny Kravitz is PERFECTLY cast as Cinna in the Hunger Games films!

Like Stanley Tucci's craftily coiffed Caesar Flickerman, Lenny's badass character basically blends in with the backdrop, but his eyes remain fiercely rebellious!

Wow! We knew there was going to be a significant departure from the aesthetic of the first film, given Gary Ross handing over the directorial reigns to Francis Lawrence!

But if THIS is any indication of what to expect from his vision of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, then we think everyone can agree that we're all in for a real treat when the November 22nd release date finally rolls around!

Much like the Panem-centric viral campaign that preceded The Hunger Games, the much-anticipated sequel is following suit…by releasing two promotional one-sheets that bring focus to the "Victory Tour" Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson must embark upon following the events of the first story!

And seriously! With both dressed in white and the color scheme almost entirely washed out, we can't help but think about the environment in which they'll soon be battling it out once again during the terrifying Quarter Quell!

Ch-ch-check 'em out (above)!

Man oh man, we CANNOT WAIT for this movie!

Here's hoping that this is only the beginning of the pre-premiere treats, and we'll soon have more photos - and perhaps a TEASER TRAILER - to keep our palette satiated until next fall!

What do U think?? Are U feeling the new posters for Catching Fire??

Dust off your ball-gags and sterilize your anal beads — it's about to get kinky up in here!

We've really grown to love Chloe Moretz over the past couple years! And if she died at the end of a movie, we'd probably be crushed!

But what about at the beginning of the movie?

The Kick Ass star is attached to the adaptation of If I Stay, a sort-of ghost movie where Chloe would play Mia, a girl having an out-of-body experience.

But far from horror, the supernatural is all played for major dramz here as Mia learns all about her friends and family and herself — including things she doesn't want to know!

Chloe could definitely handle that! As long as astral projections can still try on new outfits!

They can't? Boo, ghost movie! LOLz!

Riddle SOLVED!

The adorbzies Emma Roberts exited her favorite bookseller with Delirium earlier this week, and our curiosity was piqued!!

Did the 21-year-old beauty purchase a present for a friend?!

Was her home unseasonably chilly, and she thought the paperback would make good kindling for her fireplace?!

Nope! Emma snagged a copy of that popular young adult book because to study up for her new role!!

It's true! Julia Roberts' lovely niece is returning to the small screen to play the leading lady in the adaptation of Delirium!

The Lauren Oliver penned novel focuses on Lena Haloway — a young girl who falls for a boy in a scurry dystopian future where love has been outlawed!!

Oh noes!! Sounds like quite a pickle!

This will be Emma's biggest TV role since her fabulous days on Unfabulous!

So, uhh, will the FOX pilot have a guest spot for Aunt Julia?
