Movie fans from around the world, have you heard the call?

It’s not a time to idly let your favorite movies go unrecognized. Is it time for Rupert Grint and Emma Watson to steal the Best Kiss glory away from repeat winners Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson? Was Jon Hamm a bigger dirtbag than Jennifer Aniston?

You have to rise up, sit down and make your voice heard for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, and this isn’t just us telling you. A new promo for the awards features the likes of Captain America himself, Chris Evans, and someone you may know as Effie Trinket, Elizabeth Banks, and they have the very same message for you.

A number of stars have assembled to spread the message of this year’s MTV Movie Awards. Not only are Evans and Banks on hand, but Chloë Moretz, Kristen Bell, Liam Hemsworth and Anna Kendrick want you to get up as well.

But obviously, every movement must have a fearless leader, and this year, host Russell Brand is just the man for the job. After two stints as host of the Video Music Awards, Brand will lead the charge and encourage everyone to rise up and sit down for the 21st annual MTV Movie Awards.

The MTV Movie Awards is your awards show, and it’s up to you to make sure the winners reflect that. The awesomeness begins on Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET and will air live on MTV. Voting will be open in all 12 categories until Saturday, June 2, the night before the show.

Its being reported by E! Online that Elizabeth Banks will be honored at the 2012 Maui Film Festival with the “Navigator Award”!

I can exclusively reveal that The Hunger Games star is receiving the Navigator Award at this year’s Maui Film Festival…

“Elizabeth Banks embodies the talent, intelligence and charisma that are the touchstones of what the Maui Film Festival looks for in the film artists we honor,” fest director Barry Rivers said.

The award ceremony will include a Q&A and a screening of her DreamWorks Pictures’ flick People Like Us at the Wailea Gold & Emerald Golf Course.

“People Like Us” is set to have its world premiere at the 2012 Los Angeles Film Festival as a part of its “Summer Showcase” series!

Dreamworks Pictures’ People Like Us will have its World Premiere amongst the Summer Showcase screenings. The film is directed by Alex Kurtzman, written by Kurtzman and Roberto Orci and Jody Lambert, and stars Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde, Michael Hall D’Addario, Philip Baker Hall, Mark Duplass and Michelle Pfeiffer. In a story inspired by true events, Sam (Pine), a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, is tasked with fulfilling his estranged father’s last wishes – delivering an inheritance to a sister he never knew he had. Dreamworks Pictures will release the film on June 29, 2012.

The 2012 MTV Movie Awards Nominations have been announced and “The Hunger Games” and its cast are up for eight awards! Fans can begin voting online Tuesday May 1 at 8am EST, until the awards show airs on June 3 on MTV!

Lionsgate Home Entertainment will distribute Summit Entertainment’s Man on a Ledge to Blu-ray, DVD and digital download on May 29, 2012.

Man on a Ledge comes to DVD presented in anamoprhic widescreen (2.40:1), mixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital (English and Spanish) with English SDH and Spanish subtitles. The Blu-ray will feature an AVC/1080p transfer, also preserving the film’s 2.40:1 aspect ratio. Audio will be mixed in English DTS-HD Master Audio and Spanish 5.1 Dolby Digital. Subtitles will be the same as the DVD. Both discs will feature “The Ledge” – a making of featurette, and a trailer audio commentary by Elizabeth Banks.

The Lucky “Fabb West” conference to be held April 30th in L.A. was put together by Lucky magazine’s editor-in-chief Brandon Holly, after producing three conferences in New York. Covering beauty and fashion, it will feature panelists such as Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant, Project Runway producer Desiree Gruber, the founders of whowhatwear.com, Easy A director Will Gluck, and others.

The star panelists are also star bloggers: Jessica Alba (Honest.com, a site for moms), Elizabeth Banks (Elizabethbanks.com covers the stars’ own beauty and fashion choices), Dianna Agron (who blogs under the name But You Can Call Me Charlie), as well as keynote speaker Zac Posen. And if that wasn’t enough, Randi Zuckerberg, sister of Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, will participate, as well as Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka, whose teen looks are making viral waves.

Panel topics and speaker sessions will include What Fashion Can Learn From Hollywood, Working with fashion and entertainment brands and talent in cyberspace, and Finding your voice and monetizing for the blogosphere.

This all happens next on April 30, and Fash Track will follow up on location and tickets. Interesting that stars and producers are now wanting to capitalize on the blogger crazy. Here’s one way a monthly print magazine can compete with the daily bloggers: give them a conference! If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

Collider is reporting that the Peter Farrelly/Charles Wessler comedy anthology film (sometimes known as “Movie 43″) has been pushed back in release until January 25, 2013.

Finally, Peter Farrelly and Charles Wessler’s comedy anthology will continue to sit on the shelf, which is a little odd since the movie’s got famous faces to spare. Here’s the cast:

Johnny Knoxville, Gerard Butler, Anna Faris, Seann William Scott, Hugh Jackman, Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Halle Berry, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Kate Bosworth, Kate Winslet, Terrence Howard, Liev Schreiber, Elizabeth Banks, Justin Long, Kristen Bell, Patrick Warburton, Josh Duhamel, Jason Sudeikis, Chloe Grace Moretz, Stephen Merchant, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jack McBrayer, Kieran Culkin, and Chris Pratt.

All of the actors star in a series of interconnected stories. For whatever reason, Relativity doesn’t believe there’s a date left in 2012 that’s right for the movie. On January 25, 2013 it will face the action thriller Parker starring Jason Statham, and the break-dancing drama Battle of the Year: The Dream Team (formerly titled Planet B-Boy).
