'War Stories'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I think whitefonting for major plot points makes some sense.
But the movies are based on books that have been out for a substantial amount of time. We don't whitefont stuff about the books any more (not even Deathly Hallows), so why would we whitefont about the movies? I don't see them as 2 mutually exclusive things ([1] the books, [2] the movies).
If you know stuff about the books and are adding it to what you see in the trailer, then, yeah, it should be whitefonted.
But stuff that was just in the trailer? We going to start whitefonting all adaptations? Whitefont even after the movie's been out a while?
That's kind of like whitefonting GoT talk in Premium because people in there for other reasons might not have read the books yet. Counter to the primary function of the thread.

Even though the books have been out long enough that we no longer whitefont them?
I think that in the movie thread, you shouldn't spoil the movies that haven't come out yet.

I get it for movies not based on wildly popular books that have been out for a while (Inception, etc.).
But if talking about book content [edit: prior to the movie release] in this thread is too much of a don't-cross-the-streams thing, that's cool.
I see it as similar to Game of Thrones. The book has been out more than ten years. But it's not cool to talk about plot points in the Premium thread where the series is being watched for the first time.

You mean not prior to airing? Or after an episode (or part, or however it's divided) airs? I'm assuming just not prior to.
Not prior to. The medium of the thread is what you observe spoilers for.
Hunger Games casting:
Woody Harrelson has reportedly been offered the part of Seneca Crane, the Head Gamemaker. Stanely Tucci and Lenny Kravitz have also reportedly been offered unspecified roles.
Interesting.
