Sweet Mary Mother of Moses, it’s about freakin’ time! I’ve been waiting for a full-length trailer for The Hunger Games since the day Jennifer Lawrence was cast as Katniss Everdeen, the heroine of Suzanne Collins’ dystopian series of young adult novels. I wasn’t a huge fan of the teaser trailer shown during the MTV Video Music Awards back in August, but this two minute and thirty seven second preview is well worth the wait. As a huge fan of the …

Entertainment Weekly revealed their recent cover of Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Gale (Liam Hemsworth) from The Hunger Games movie a few days ago, and now they’ve dumped some more juicy images to turn every Hunger Games fan’s underwear into a moist towelette. That’s right. Grab your adult undergarmets STAT! Okay, that might be stretching the excitement a little too much, but the small gallery below should be enough to excite or anger fans of Suzanne Collins’ action packed dystopian novels, The …
A few months back our pals at Entertainment Weekly got us juiced and jazzed with our first images of Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: First Class) as Katniss Everdeen, the badass heroine of director Gary Ross’ (Seabiscuit) movie version of the bestselling novel, The Hunger Games – the first movie in a planned quadrilogy. Now EW gives us our first official glimpse at the two men in Katniss’ life – lifelong best buddy, Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), and the baker’s son and …
It’s been awhile since we’ve had any posts about The Hunger Games movie. The cast and crew are busy filming the first installment of a quadrilogy (Lionsgate announced in May the three novels would be split into four films) somewhere in Burke County, North Carolina, and one would think, with a release date of March 23, 2012, that we’d see a teaser trailer within the next two or three months. Despite the slow-going on the news, a motion poster for …
Everybody was happy when they got to the casting of Haymitch and hadn’t screwed anything up. Well guess what? There will be no Madge in The Hunger Games movie. Madge is the mayor’s daughter and is one of Katniss’ friends. Madge visits Katniss after the reaping and gives her the iconic mockingjay pin. Well apparently that won’t happen. I am not crushed by this, but I am excited to see how Katniss gets the pin. So here is my question for …
The Hunger Games movie continues to fill the roles for the film version of Suzanne Collins bestselling young-adult novel of the same name. Emma posted last week about the casting of newcomer Willow Shields as Katniss’ sister, Primrose, and since that news the filmmakers have also cast Katniss and Primrose’s mother (Paula Malcomson), the tributes from District Three (Kahlia Prescott and Ian Nelson), the tributes from District Four (Ethan Jamieson and Tara Macken) and, in what was rumored last week, …
I have never ever been this excited for a movie. The Hunger Games Movie is going to be freaking awesome and now we are even closer to getting the casting part done. Today, Lionsgate cast Willow Shields as Primrose Everdeen and Elizabeth Banks is being considered to play Effie Trinket. Primrose (Prim) is Katniss’ (Jennifer Lawrence) little sister who, at the reaping in District 12, was originally picked to be in the 74th Hunger Games, but Katniss volunteered to go …
The Hunger Games movie, due in theaters on March 23, 2012, continues to move forward with more casting, this time choosing newcomers Amandla Stenberg and Dayo Okeniyi as the tributes from District 11, Rue and Thresh. Fans of the novels vividly remember Rue as the 12 year-old girl Katniss Everdeen befriends in her first trip to the games. Rue could jump from tree-to-tree because she worked in the orchards in District 11, which is how she was able to warn …
Fans of The Hunger Games books can now start to salivate fully at the movie version hitting theaters on March 23, 2012.
