The Walking Dead Halloween Horror NightsAMC’s The Walking Dead has the honor of becoming the first TV series to be featured at both Universal Studios’ Orlando and Hollywood resorts’ Halloween Horror Nights events. Visitors to the theme parks will have to make their way through haunted mazes, fighting off flesh-eating walkers during the annual Halloween event.

The haunted mazes will feature movie-quality sets that bring to life scenes from the popular show, complete with mobs of walkers.

“We want people to experience the same terror of the walker-filled reality our characters faced in seasons one and two – and will continue to face in our third season,” stated Greg Nicotero, Co-Executive Producer and Special Effects Make-up Artist for the series. “Our collaboration with Universal Studios’ creative teams is exciting as we work to truly capture the essence of the show.”

“The Walking Dead puts real people in incredibly horrific situations where they experience true, raw fear, and guests at Halloween Horror Nights experience the same thing,” said Jim Timon, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Universal Orlando Resort. “We can’t wait to merge the two powerful concepts together.”

Justin Timberlake Has a New Title: Team Ambassador

Justin Timberlake’s added a new job to his resume. The 2012 Ryder Cup has named the pop singer/actor as the first-ever Team Ambassador for the upcoming 39th Ryder Cup to be held September 25-30th. The Ambassador role doesn’t seem to have any actual duties attached to it, and kind of sounds like a glorified water boy position – without the whole fetching water part of the job.

As Ambassador, Justin Timberlake will take part in the Ryder Cup Gala on Sept. 26th in Rosemont, Illinois and the Ryder Cup Opening Ceremonies on Sept. 27 at Medinah Country Club. Tough job…

“The Ryder Cup continues to generate incredible excitement as September approaches, and Justin Timberlake’s involvement is an added bonus for one of the most highly anticipated sporting events in the world,” said PGA of America President Allen Wronowski in the official press announcement. “The Ryder Cup is truly a global event, and Justin [Timberlake] is a household name internationally. As someone who is passionate about golf, he’s the perfect fit to be a Team Ambassador, and The PGA of America is proud to have his support for the 2012 Ryder Cup.”

“As Captain, I’m very excited to have Justin [Timberlake] on board as an Ambassador for the U.S. team,” added 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Davis Love III. “He’s a true champion for our sport, and I’ve been very impressed with his commitment to growing golf and sharing his passion with others. He genuinely loves the game. I know golf fans are going to embrace his participation and share in his excitement for the Ryder Cup.”

Timberlake responded to the title by saying, “Golf has been a lifelong passion of mine – whether I’m out playing the game, working on the course at Mirimichi or sharing my love for the sport with others. There is no greater stage for the sport than the Ryder Cup, and I’m proud to be an Ambassador for the U.S. Ryder Cup team and take part in such a time-honored event. It’s going to be a special week for golf fans around the world, me the most.”

The Hunger Games Blu-Ray Cover

Lionsgate presented this behind-the-scenes clip, which is part of the bonus features on The Hunger Games DVD/Blu-ray extra features, at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con. The new video shows Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen leaping from a tree and then trying to outrun a wall of fire that erupts all around her. CG flames wouldn’t have cut it, so director Gary Ross opted to have his film’s star actually run by the fire – and this clip shows what Lawrence went through to film the scene.

The Hunger Games arrives on Blu-ray, DVD, On Demand, and Digital Download on August 18, 2012 at 12:01am.

The Plot: Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.





Mumford & Sons New Album Coming in September

Mumford & Sons BabelMumford & Sons officially announced their new album, Babel, will be released on September 24, 2012. Fans can pre-order the album beginning July 23rd.

“We are more than excited to release Babel into the world. We had started writing new songs well before we got into the studio to record. At first, we peeled ourselves off the road quite reluctantly. We love playing live, obviously, but it had also become an important part of our creative process, we had been writing and rehearsing in soundchecks, and sort of ‘road-testing’ new songs on our very gracious audiences. But then we fell in love with recording again. The album started to come together, and with the help of Markus Dravs once more (and engineer Robin Baynton), we started to relish the challenge of making this album. As a band, we’ve never been closer or more collaborative, all working to our strengths. And so we feel that this record is a natural progression that we’re proud of, and we cannot wait to take it out on the road.” – Mumford & Sons

Babel Track List:

Babel
Whispers In The Dark
I Will Wait
Holland Road
Ghosts That We Knew
Lover Of The Light
Lovers’ Eyes
Reminder
Hopeless Wanderer
Broken Crown
