New Hunger Games Trailer Drops, Lost “Joey” Episodes Released, and Goldie Hawn Turns 80

The first teaser trailer has arrived for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, the latest prequel in the blockbuster franchise. The film stars Joseph Zada as a young Haymitch Abernathy, the character made famous by Woody Harrelson in the earlier movies. The story takes place 24 years before the original Hunger Games film and is set to hit theaters next November.

In television news, fans of Friends are getting a surprise two decades in the making. Joey, the short-lived spinoff centered on Matt LeBlanc’s character, was canceled in its second season, and eight completed episodes never made it to air. Nearly 20 years later, those unaired episodes and the rest of the series are now available to watch on the official Friends YouTube channel.

Hollywood is also celebrating a major milestone for one of its most beloved stars. Goldie Hawn turned 80, marking eight decades of a career filled with iconic roles. She began as a dancer before rising to fame on Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In and later starred in hit films including Private Benjamin, Death Becomes Her, and The First Wives Club. Fans across the world are sending well-wishes to the Oscar winner on her milestone birthday.
