Here's how pop culture and literature have been intersecting lately ... 

  • The official trailer for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping dropped today; the movie version of the latest installment in Suzanne Collins's dystopian YA series hits theaters November 20, 2026 (YouTube).

  • Actor Jonathan Bailey — who has appeared in such literary adaptations as Wicked, Bridgerton, Alice Through The Looking Glass, and Ferrari (based on the book Enzo Ferrari: the Man and the Machine by Brock Yates) — has been chosen as 2025's sexiest man alive (People).

  • Did you know that J.R.R. Tolkien despised Walt Disney and refused to let Disney Studios adapt his work? (Open Culture).
