- Hopefully finishing up casting for the in-production adaptation of Hunger Games, Donald Sutherland will play the part of President Snow, "the autocratic ruler of Panem who uses the violent Hunger Games as a way to maintain control." Wait, is that the same reason American Gladiators suddenly showed up on primetime in 2008?

- Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are developing the young adult short story anthology Let It Snow, with the hope of turning it "into a teen Love Actually." Keep your schedule open, Taylor Lautner.
