• Lionsgate isn’t messing around with The Hunger Games, which should be the next big pop movie phenomenon now that Harry’s gone. The company even hired superstars Danny Elfman and T-Bone Burnett to collaborate on the music. Fans of the book know that “Rue’s Song,” in particular, plays a big role in the story. Now comes word from Burnett himself that Jennifer Lawrence (who plays Katniss) will lend her voice to the song. (MTV News)

• It’s been a longtime since we heard about Fox’s P.T. Barnum biopic, The Greatest Show on Earth (almost two years, actually). Hugh Jackman has been set to star in the film and now he may have a director: Michael Gracey, visual effects man and Disney’s choice for their live-action Snow White project, is attached. It’s a slow moving project, but any movement is good movement, right? Ever the showman, this was a role Jackman was born to play. (Variety)

• We know that The Avengers is going to be epic, right? But who are these good guys going to be fighting? Well reports from my local newspaper suggest the long-held belief that Captain America, Iron Man and the rest will be fighting the Skrulls. (Cleveland.com)

• Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, and now White Collar‘s Matt Bomer. That’s a whole lot of hotness for one male stripper movie.  Bomer is making his move in Hollywood. The TV star is already has a part in Andrew Niccol’s upcoming sci-fi film In Time. Now comes word that he’ll join McConaughey and Tatum in Steven Soderbergh’s Magic Mike, which is a semi-autobiographical film about Tatum’s stripper past.  (DHD)
