Vote 'Mockingjay Part 2' in the MTV Movie Brawl

 

The MTV Movie Brawl is the one fight to decide it all: what is the most-anticipated movie of 2015? Through five rounds of intense one-on-one matches, 32 movies will give way to a single victor, and that movie will be crowned the winner. Vote. Share. Win.

Here's what to do:

It’s pretty simple to start… Using the hashtag #MTVMovieBrawl from January 8 through January 12, tweet what movie you think will be the biggest, bestest time at the theaters in 2015 (obviously, we think its Mockingjay Part 2!). Then on Monday, January 12 at 9 a.m. ET, MTV will unveil your top 32 choices… And the fun really begins.

So will Star Wars: The Force Awakens take the top prize? The final chapter in The Hunger Games series, Mockingjay – Part 2? Or will a third dark horse contender enter the ring and take the prize? The only real requirement is that the movie hits theaters between January 1 and December 31 this year; otherwise, anything goes. And with Fifty Shades Of Grey getting released this year, we do mean anything.

Hey, it’s your choice. Kick things off now by submitting your faves, and check out the schedule below to find out the full schedule:

January 8: Call For Submissions
January 12: Round 1: Fight!
January 15: Sweet Sixteen
January 20: Elite Eight
January 22: Final Four
January 26: Final Two
January 29: The Winner… Revealed!

You can tweet to @MTV or just use the hashtag #MTVMovieBrawl with your pick in your tweet. 

Julianne Moore on The Late Show With David Letterman

Julianne Moore is doing a bunch of promotion thanks to her multiple nominations for Still Alice and Maps to the Stars this awards season. She was on The Late Show With David Letterman last night, and it sounds like Santa was unexpectedly naughty at Julianne's house this year! 

Elizabeth Banks on Conan

Elizabeth Banks made an appearance on Conan last night and she talked about nudity, feminism, her husband's possible man-crush on Tom Brady and an awkward stripper encounter in college. Oh, Elizabeth! Hilarious , as usual.

'Mockingjay – Part 1' to Release in China… in 3D!

It is official: Mockingjay – Part 1 is a force to be reckoned with!

Lionsgate released a statement that the film will be shared by a partner company, the Beijing-based Talent International Film Co. Ltd.. Why, you ask? So that the film can be unveiled at over 4,000 theatres across China on February 8^th, 2015! That will be the largest welcome for any of the films in the Hunger Games series.

But wait, there’s more. For moviegoers in China, the film will be seen in 3D – making this the only film in the series to be converted to 3D format.

Mockingjay – Part 1 has already decimated its competition in North American box offices by achieving over $121 million in its opening weekend, with all three installments grossing more than $2.2 billion in the global box office.  Based on the excellent reception the film has already received, it is expected that the China release will only solidify Mockingjay’s “rockstar status.”

In their press release, Lionsgate reps stated:

"With the widest Hunger Games opening ever in China and the first Hunger Games film to launch in 3D, Mockingjay is positioned to become a major motion picture event in one of our largest and fastest-growing territories."

It is safe to assume that most Tributes would agree with that statement! Our own Katniss Everdeen, Jennifer Lawrence, has even recorded a special greeting for fans in China and a new version of the trailer has been released to get Chinese fans pumped for the movie release.
