Josh Hutcherson has named his puppy after Ryan Gosling. The 19-year-old 'Hunger Games' star adopted a Blue Pit puppy from a rescue centre last week and decided to call it Driver, after one of Ryan's film characters. Josh said: ''I'm obsessed with the movie 'Drive', and Ryan Gosling's character was named Driver. ''I always thought it was a good name for a dog so it just kind of worked out.''

While filming The Hunger Games in Kentucky, Josh Hutcherson was put on a very strict high-protein diet and workout regimen that often left him feeling quite sore.
"I had to put on a lot of weight, so I was in the process of eating chicken, eggs and protein and all that fun stuff," the actor said.
In terms of his workout, Hutcherson trained five days a week with an ex-Navy Seal, Logan Hood. Referring to the workouts as "unconventional," the 19-year-old actor said they often left him "sore for four days afterwards."
"I worked out with him for an hour and literally I would have to lay down for 20 minutes because I couldn't drive away," Hutcherson said. "It would be dangerous to drive away straight afterwards! I was going to pass out."
Hood said the training would often include "flipping tires in the parking lot and slamming baseball bats against body bags.

Over the weekend we posted our interview with Zack Snyder, which may have resolved some of the debates about Sucker Punch, but probably just added more fuel to the blazing arguments about the film. The same day we spoke to Snyder, we also spoke to the film’s five escapees: Emily Browning (Baby Doll), Jenna Malone (Rocket), Abbie Cornish (Sweet Pea), Vanessa Hudgens (Blondie) and Jamie Chung (Amber). They regaled us with stories of brutal training regimes, gun play, and how Snyder communicated his vision.
——————–
Describe the film in one sentence
Malone: It’s basically like a prison break film about five young girls that band together, and what they’re willing to sacrifice for their freedom.
On prep for role
Malone: It’s pretty epic; both of us had never really even been to the gym before.
Malone: Day one was kind of the most terrifying moment of my life.

I had round table (shared with other bloggers and reporters) interviews booked with the director Zack Snyder on his lonesome, followed by Vanessa Hudgens (Blondie), Abbie Cornish (Sweet Pea) and Jamie Chung (Amber), a dose of the baddies: Oscar Isaac (Blue Jones) and Carla Gugino (Dr. Gorski) and finally the tag team of Emily Browning (Baby Doll) and Jena Malone (Rocket).
You know, but I still have to say, that Sucker Punch is a geek pandering fantasy from the director of Dawn of the Dead (boom), 300 (yay), Watchmen (woo) and The Owls of Ga’Hoole (hahaha). When a young girl gets pitched into a loony bin by an abusive stepfather, she escapes to an imaginary world with four fellow, female inmates where they kick a lot of ass and plot their escape. As Sucker Punch isn’t out until the 1st of April, I will be leaving out spoilers and as you’re my favourite,...

Zac Efron has bulked up while preparing to portray a marine in a new movie "The Lucky One" last year. And now the former "High School Musical" actor shows off his post-training six-pack body while out and about in Manhattan Beach, Calif.
Wearing only short denims and a pair of white sneakers, the "Charlie St. Cloud" hunk was seen enjoying a warm summer day and rolling around the beach on a skateboard in one picture. In another image, he was snapped barefoot and playfully hanging on a pole swing.
Zac bulked up with the help of trainer Logan Hood, and kept his diet in check by following healthy eating tips from nutritionist David Allan. "Zac put on 18 lbs. for his role in The Lucky One," a source said. "Since then, he's lost weight but he's keeping up a fitness routine."

Last June, MTV News traveled up to Vancouver to visit the set of "Tron Legacy," Disney's 3-D stand-alone sequel to the 1982 sci-fi classic. Along with a select group of journalists, we toured the set, talked to cast and crew and immersed ourselves in all things "Tron."
A studio-imposed embargo has now lifted and we can bring you the first of our interviews. Here's some of what the film's star, Garrett Hedlund, had to say.
Question: You get to do a lot of physical stuff too in the film?
Garrett Hedlund: Yeah, initially when we started this, I started the first week in January. Started with motorcycle training and getting my license and after the hour and a half of motorcycle training, I'd drive over to 8711, where the stunt coordinator David Leitch — that's his compound. And so we'd do the fight training there. We'd do, you know, parkour sort of exercises and jumps.
