I know this isn’t Twilight news, but according to EW, Lionsgate has just picked up the film rights for The Hunger Games! Thanks to Kelly for pointing this out.
yay 1st comment
That’s really exciting. I just hope they don’t screw it up, b/c the book is so good.
Oh i just read that the author herself is writing the screen play. YES!
All I can say is YES YES YES!!!! That makes me so happy! But I am concerned about one thing, if they stay true to the book, with all the violence I think it would be extremely hard to get a rating that would allow teens to see it. I LOVE the book, but it is really graphic in terms of violence and I just don’t know how they can stay true to the book and keep a PG-13 rating.
i just read this on a movie blog and rushed over here to see if you guys had heard. SOOO excited for this and also excited that i finally get to follow it from start to finish in the conception to production and release progress. woop.
now the theories and speculations begin!
YAY!!! THAT’S SO AWESOME!!!
=D
Ooooh! for everyone online who’s read it, that’s great news! (I WILL read this book! It’s next in my pile by my bed, after Prisoner of Azkaban!)
o.m.g. yay!
..actually this could be bad, what if they completely ruin it??
Can u keep up the update on the Huger Games 🙂 ???
This is so AWESOME to hear! Thanks for posting. I just read the book this past week, and I just kept thinking WOW! This sure would make a great movie. I pictured Adam Lambert from American Idol as my PEETA. I thought his character was adorable. I love the line from Peeta where he says, “So have u come to finish me off, sweetheart?” I love that he calls Katniss sweetheart. Very cute. I think movie would be great and I hope u all decide to do a Hunger Games podcast and website! I would be a fan, u have done a great job with the Twilight series.
Thanks, Gina
I’m scared too that they will ruin it, but I think it would be hard to ruin it though. Suzanne Collins is adapting the screenplay. So I think that helps because she will be able to add the important stuff and do it correctly.
*squeals* yaaaaaay!!! i cannot wait! (i just hope they can manage a pg 13 rating with all that violence… >.>)
Okay now to make the Hunger Games kick @$$ I need to be in it! LOL!<3
OME!! That’s going to be such an awesome movie!!!!!!!!!!!
