It’s a news extravaganza this week on The Plot Hole, with plenty of buzzed-about projects taking center stage. First we discuss the very intriguing teaser trailer for upcoming sci-fi action flick Looper, followed by a chat about the main villain for Iron Man 3 as well as two new star-studded, high-profile thrillers. Also, after the shocker that was Gary Ross’ resignation from The Hunger Games franchise, we look at the three rumoured directors shortlisted to replace him.

Ending with a genre-focussed, fanboy wet dream, Sam brings us a review of meta-horror flick The Cabin in the Woods (a fun ride best left unspoiled) and Steven talks sci-fi thriller Lockout, which may not be as bad as reviews indicate.
