In the remake of the 1984 hit thriller Red Dawn, Hollywood hotties Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson team up to thwart a North Korean invasion using incredible CGI special effects and crazy high-tech weaponry.

Okay, so it’s a little bit different from Patrick Swayze’s original version, but hey – it’s been over 25 years, we suppose it’s time to spice things up a bit!

Josh and Chris are joined in their crusade by Adrianne Palicki, Isabel Lucas, Josh Peck and  Tom Cruise‘s son, Connor for what promises to be one of the most action-packed films of 2012.

Red Dawn hits theaters November 21st!  Check out the trailer for the film below!

Awww, you mean he’s not going to date Jennifer Lawrence in real life?  Sad face!

The Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson has finally come clean about his relationship with actress Ariana Grande, who he’s been secretly dating since January!

According to insiders, although these two are totally smitten with each other, they were worried about taking their romance public too soon.  You know how pesky the media can be

They’ve been seeing each other since the beginning of the year… They’ve been trying to keep it low-profile because it’s still rather new.

In order to keep their relationship on the major DL, Ariana and Josh even opted not to walk the read carpet together at the premiere for The Hunger Games.

Good call you two, but seriously, four months of dating in secret?  Who are you, Katniss and Gale?

During an appearance on The David Letterman Show, Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson had  bigger things to talk about than the opening week for his latest movie – He needed to dish about being physically abused by his costar Jennifer Lawrence!

Well okay, maybe not physically abused – but we’re told that the lovely Ms. Lawrence does pack quite a whallop!

According to Josh, while he and Jennifer were killing time in between takes, the gorgeous brunette kicked him right in his money-maker!

We were just goofing around, and like doing some shadow boxing for fun…as one days. She throws this beautiful kick but it landed right on my temple and literally knocked me to the ground and I was down.

Just like the real Katniss!

Check out Josh’s sliiiightly embarrassing confession below…

As if we didn’t love these two enough already, The Hunger Games stars Josh Hutcherson and Jennifer Lawrence opened up in a hilarious candid interview with MTV Rough Cut about their latest film and how they are absolutely, 100% nothing like Twilight.

Jennifer steals the show with her razor sharp wit and fantastic one-liners – who knew this girl was gorgeous AND funny?  Talk about a double threat – well, triple really, if you count her mad archery skills!

Our favorite part of the interview comes when Josh talks about his current reality TV obsession – you don’t want to miss this one!

And no, it has nothing to do with how terrible their latest project Journey 2: The Mysterious Island looks…

During a recent interview with an Austrailian interviewer, Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens were asked how long they’d been going out together.

Ummmm…  I guess they’re giving anyone with a fedora and a notepad a press badge these days?

Although the pair briefly dated while filming Journey 2, they split back in July and Vanessa’s now dating fellow actor Austin Butler.  While the question certainly provided a few, long, dragged out awkward moments, Josh quickly took the reigns and defuse the situation.

We’re not… We were at one point, but she broke my heart. No, I’m just kidding. That was a while ago. We’re really good friends now.

Phew – thank goodness that’s over!

Check out the video of Josh and Vanessa’s awkward interview below…

The international trailer for Vanessa Hudgen’s upcoming film Journey 2: Mysterious Island was released this week and, well, all I’ll say is, the highlight is some giant bumblebees pooping.

Journey 2 features Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson and Bridge to Terabithia star Josh Hutcherson as they journey (hence the name) to a mysterious island (there it is again!) that’s rumored to be the home to the lost city of Atlantis.  Hudgen’s is their rough tumble guide who assures them that the island doesn’t exist because it’s coordinates are in “the most dangerous part of the ocean.”

That’s Hollywood writing at its finest folks.

Journey 2 hits theaters in 2D and 3D February 10th, 2012 – check out the trailer below!

Fans are finally getting a peek at how Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth will look as Peeta and Gale in The Hunger Games.

The two actors have been subject of much speculation for looking so different from the way author Suzanne Collins described both characters in the books, but now that should change.

Hutcherson dyed his hair blonde and bulked up his arms to play the son of a baker who must compete in the annual games. The 18 year-old told EW he worked on his arms so he could believably play a guy who lifts heavy bags of flour and sugar as his father’s assistant.

Hemsworth also changed his hair color to a deeper shade of brown and is thinner than we’ve seen him in the past.

Director Gary Ross said people will be very surprised about Hemsworth in the film.

“On first glance he’s such a hunk that it’s easy to just sort of ascribe a hunk-like simplicity to him,” says the director. “But this is a phenomenally subtle actor.”

Hemsworth and Hutcherson have really bonded while filming in North Carolina and became great friends. Josh even invited Liam to head to Kentucky for a dinner with his family at his grandmother’s home and the two may decide to share a house in Los Angeles.

The Hunger Games is due in theaters in March of 2012.

Actors Liam Hemsworth, best known as Miley Cyrus’ potential current boyfriend/ex-boyfriend, and Josh Hutcherson, who starred in “The Kids Are All Right”, have officially joined hottie Jennifer Lawrence in “The Hunger Games”.

Lionsgate announced in an official press released Josh and Liam will play the roles of Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne, respectively. So, Josh is the love interest and Liam is the best friend. Hot love triangle?

Jennifer will play the lead role of Katniss Everdeen, the heroin of the best selling young-adult trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. The movie is scheduled to be released in March 2012.

Josh Hutcherson hit The 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards at Santa Monica Beach, California on Saturday, February 26th.

The Kids Are All Right actor was supporting his film’s nominations for Best Original Screenplay (which it won) and actress Annette Bening for Best Actress (who lost to Natalie Portman in Black Swan.)

Both Bening and Portman are also up for Oscars at tonight’s 83rd Annual Academy Awards and the 17 year-old actor has his own favorite:

“Of course, I’m a little biased, but I’d have to say Annette,” he said. “I think both of them are amazing actresses. I’ve idolized Natalie my entire life because she’s a young actress who made the transition into an adult, so they’re both very deserving.”

Hutcherson just wrapped Journey 2 with Vanessa Hudgens and the long-awaited reboot of Red Dawn he stars in may finally get a release date later this year (see story here.)

I guess we can say cutie Josh Hutcherson is Team Jacob! When asked who would win in a fight between werewolves and vampires, the 17 year-old actor said, “I think that the werewolves would. Werewolves just seem so strong, big, and powerful. Vampires are really strong as well, but I think there’s something about a wolf, like the wolf integrity. I think they would prevail, unfortunately.”

Josh stars in a new movie, “The Vampire’s Assistant” (watch fight video sneak peek), in which he plays Steve, an evil vampire, a vampaneze. We cannot wait to see Josh as a vampire, but we know he just cannot be sexy as Robert Pattinson.
