Guide Geek: That 'TMNT 2' trailer and the 'Hunger Games' prequels you didn't ask for

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and Fort Worth's musical star Kelly Clarkson is celebrating in a way I can appreciate: With a nerdy Christmas card.

The card, which the singer-songwriter posted on Twitter, features the Game of Thrones font with the iconic phrase "Winter is coming," and the entire family is decked out in ... well, OK, the clothes may be a bit more Downton Abbey than Game of Thrones, but they get an A for effort.

If you want to look a bit beyond winter you might be interested in the first trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

It, uh... It looks like another Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie produced by Michael Bay, so... Yay if you're into that, I guess? The trailer did highlight the arrivals of the classic villain duo Bebop and Rocksteady as well as the hockey mask-wearing vigilante Casey Jones, played in the movie by Arrow's Stephen Amell. It will hit theaters in June.

If you're sad that that there are no more Hunger Games novels for Lionsgate to turn into movies then the odds are in your favor! According to Variety, the studio isn't content with stretching that last book into two movies, so now they're looking into making prequels to the blockbuster series.

Lionsgate Vice Chairman Michael Burns said that fans missed the arenas that served as centerpieces in the first two movies, so there's a good chance they would go back to those. Other than that, he didn't actually announce that any projects were in the works, but it seems clear that they'd like to keep printing money by keeping that franchise alive.
