The Hunger Games (2012)

[MrSinister]

Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games" novel trilogy is hot property in the filmmaking sense. Lionsgate is trying to get this production off the ground and fast, especially since they narrowed down the list of potential directors to three. The choices are between Sam Mendes, Gary Ross and David Slade.

It introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful government called the Capitol has risen up after several devastating disasters. In the book, the Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl from each district to a fight. The purpose of the Hunger Games is to show how no one, including children, is above the Capitol's power.

Hunger Games comes to theaters in 2011.

[riAbaby]

yan na ba talaga?! i'm excited as well!

[Riza Hernandez]

cant wait to see who's gonna bag katniss' role in the big screen

[Somerhalder]

Woot! I've read Mockingjay na!

[sChiZoO14]

confirmed na ba na 2011 sya ipapalabas??

I wonder who'll they cast as Katniss. Hopefully maging magandang adaptation ito. Dapat kasing brutal din like sa book. Kinda like Battle Royale.

[MrSinister]

^ yup, sa 2011 ang release date nya

[faiwypwinteth]

*jumps around* hoo boy! very very excited for this!

I hope Caitlin Stasey would play Katniss.

[baby_gee3]

I wish Hugh Laurie is Haymitch.

[faiwypwinteth]

^ yeah I can see that! Haymitch definitely has that House-ish character.

[cbc_pa]

so excited for this! yes!
Katatapos ko lang basahin yung 3 libro. Excited na ako kay Peeta at Prim. Fave characters.

[sickmaggot]

this is a lame ripoff ng Battle Royale

[Insaniac]

^ mukha nga, sana lang meron nudity... tsaka gore na din.

[richnfamous]

i really hope katniss is kaya scodelario. Pretty and fierce!

[faiwypwinteth]

^ She's really pretty. Loved her in Skins when she was all broody and mysterious.

[Somerhalder]

this is a lame ripoff ng Battle Royale

Actually having read three books, it made Battle Royale look amateur and shallow.

Gaaah ang tagal pa ng 2011.

[sChiZoO14]

^agree

hindi naman porket nauna ang Battle Royale masasabi mo nang rip-off ang Hunger Games.

anyway I also like Kaya as Katniss though I think mas okay kung hindi kilala yung mga actors/actress na kukunin nila. But I wish si Kristin Chenoweth ang kunin nilang Effie, that'll be epic.

[faiwypwinteth]

K. Chenoweth ftw! baka hindi pa nababasa ni sickmaggot yung Hunger Games... hehe!

[Somerhalder]

Interested lang ako makita ang mga dress at gown ni Katniss.

Scenes to look forward to:
-Reaping
-the girl on fire parade
-launch to the arena
-FOXFACE!!
-mutts

Adik lang kay foxface. Favorite lang sorry.

I'm so excited for this! But I haven't read catching fire and mockingjay pa. I'm planning to buy both and read it in one sitting Major Major cliffhanger daw kasi ang catching fire. Mahirap mabitin I wonder who would play Katniss ?!
