[faiwypwinteth]

Favorite ko rin si Foxface! I have this made up world that [spoiler start] Foxface somehow didn't die and she's friends with Katniss. And they team up to defeat the Capitol. Haha! I should go look for fanfictions [spoiler end]

I wanna see Cinna light up Katniss! That fire dress should be epic!

can i join currently reading Mockingjay

how about Hunter Parrish as Peeta Mellark

[nylrahc]

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 ?!

have to agree with the major major cliff hanger of catching fire and im thankful na nung matapos ko mabasa eh naka-out na ang Mockingjay


i just hope hindi Suckmmit ang nakabili ng rights nito sana Warner Brothers

The Next Big Movie Franchise: The Hunger Games
Sep. 14 2010 - 3:26 pm

Now that the cast is set for the American version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (Daniel Craig and newcomer Rooney Mara), Hollywood has turned its collective attention to the next big book adaptation: The Hunger Games.

The three book series by author Suzanne Collins tells the story of a future dystopia where teens are forced to fight to the death. The third book, Mockingjay, went on sale last month and sold 450,000 copies in its first week. There are 6.2 million copies of the books in print in the U.S. The books have been licensed to 40 other countries. The first book, The Hunger Games, was on the New York Times bestseller list for 100 weeks straight.

Granted those aren’t Twilight numbers. Those four books have sold a total 100 million copies. But The Hunger Games series is still a major hit.

Lionsgate nabbed the worldwide movie rights to the books last March. The first movie is scheduled to hit theaters in 2013. The studio has had a hit franchise with the Saw movies but The Hunger Games could do for Lionsgate what the Twilight movies did for Summit Entertainment, provide a ton of cash to help offset other failures (and maybe eventually get Carl Icahn off of their backs).

Franchises are now crucial to studios’ fortunes. Harry Potter has brought in $5.4 billion at the global box office so far with two movies still to go. The Twilight movies have earned $1.7 billion.

But young adult books, even best selling ones, aren’t always guaranteed to be hits. Just look at the His Dark Materials trilogy. The first film, The Golden Compass earned only $70 million at the domestic box office. Even though it did better abroad ending its run with a total $372 million globally, plans for sequels were quietly scrapped.

So Hollywood is all abuzz about the choices Lionsgate is making for the film. Deadline Hollywood is reporting that director Gary Ross is the front-runner to helm the film. Ross is best known for movies like Pleasantville and Seabiscuit but according to Internet Movie Database, Ross hasn’t directed anything since 2003.

The choice worries some fans. Perri Nemiroff at Cinematical says she was pulling for director David Slade who has experience with darker material, like 30 Days of Night, and teen-friendly franchises. He directed the most recent Twilight film, Eclipse.

Speculation over the cast is also heating up. Entertainment Weekly recently held an online poll to see who fans thought should play heroine Katniss and her friends Peeta and Gale. The top choices, I’ll admit, were actors I’ve never heard of. Kaya Scodelario earned 39% of the vote to play Katniss. The actress was also in Clash of the Titans.

But of course no one had ever heard of Daniel Radcliffe before he was cast as Harry Potter. Now he is one of the top-earning actors on our Celebrity 100.

====================================

FML! so it really is moved to 2013?

[faiwypwinteth]

^ 2013?! But that's like 3 dreadful years pa! NOOOOOO!

Kaya Scodelario was my first choice too. Actually, all the brunettes in the YA books that I read, I picture them as Kaya. But I thought Kaya was already popular. :/

[nylrahc]

Hi nylrahc! Hunter Parrish has always been my Peeta! Super bagay!

sya na naiimagine ko while reading Mockingjay [spoiler start]broke my heart what they did to him i can feel what Katniss feels that they have taken away the real Peeta [spoiler end] pero di ko pa kasi tapos basahin i dunno what lies ahead but im crossing my fingers that at the end it will still be

i love Kaya. she did well in Skins and i think she could pull of Katniss.

re: popularity. she's popular in England and i think Brazil. but i think that's about it. but idk, i still want her for the role.

[baby_gee3]

So... I started watching Weeds, cause all the Hunter Parrish as Peeta posts intrigued me. And yeah, Hunter's boyish grin will really remind you of the boy with the bread. Just minus the... horny as f*ck scenes tendencies he has. Definitely not Peeta-ish.

[BatangMannitol]

2013?? humm baka hinihintay pa nila na mag 15 or 16 ang gagganap na Katniss?hehe rumors says Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick-arse/Let me in Star) might take the coveted role.

BOOK 1

Peeta Mellark -------- (Gaspard Ulliel) 25
Gale Hawthorne ----- (Alexander Richard Pettyfer) 20

Parang mas bagay si Gaspard kay Gale and si Pettyfer kay Peeta.

Alex Pettyfer's alright but he's my Jace Wayland (Mortal Instruments). Ahaha! I dunno.. I find Alex too fierce to play Peeta. That boy has grown since his Alex Rider days.

[baby_gee3]

Found a really good fan made hunger games trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r79B...layer_embedded

Not a fan of the casting, pero the video is really good to pass up.

Summer Glau as Katniss
Alex Pettyfer as Peeta
Gaspard Ulliel as Gale
Hugh Dancy as Haymitch

^ Epic win! "May the odds be ever in your favor!"
