The Official Hunger Games thread!

[michelle.]

I might look into reading them.

[BEE.]

I highly recommend them [:

[michelle.]

I'll take your word for it. Plus, they seem to be popular otherwise.
I've been waiting for so long to get to the library. I'll probably pick them up after I read The Paperboy.
Hopefully they're in when I go though lol.

& Filming only started in May 2011, and they're STILL filming until next month.

They're keeping Josh [Peeta] as a surprise. And 'her' is Katniss btw.
The part in that video is an important part of the book. And Peeta isn't in that part so early on. That's during the first couple of days in the Arena

Quote:GARY ROSS: “IT’S JUST A TEASER…BUT THERE’S A LOT TO COME”

The teaser comes to a close as Katniss indeed shows how good she is: arrow meeting flaming target. But all this is just a taste of what’s to come, as director Gary Ross told MTV News earlier this week. “We’re still shooting, so unfortunately it’s just a teaser. We could only give you a little bit because we’re still down here making the movie,” he said. “But there’s a lot of things to come that I think are going to be hugely epic and very emotional and incredibly powerful.”

Quote:Thanks to an awesome Mockingjay.net fan on Facebook, Katie D., we now know that Lionsgate has released Rue’s 4 note ‘Mockingjay Call’ on iTunes for free download! It’s just a short clip, but I know I’ll be making it my ringtone. This is confirmation that the 4 note tune is what we thought it is. They sure know what will impress ‘Hunger Games’ fans, don’t they? :]

Quote:* What is the status on music for The Hunger Games? – Lots of discussions between Tbone Burnett, Danny Elfman and Gary, but “it’s not going to start to bear fruit for awhile.”
* How did Jennifer train for the role of Katniss? — The role is very physically demanding and Jennifer is in almost every scene. She had a rigorous athletic conditioning program as well as archery training.
* How did you create the “girl on fire” look? — He thinks it’s a fantastic moment in the film, but he will not reveal anything. ”I’m going to resist the temptation to give away a spoiler on my own movie.”
* What scenes are most important to recreate faithfully? — Death of Rue, which Gary states was a very emotional scene to shoot. He also discusses the lullaby which he describes as “Prim’s lullaby before it is sung to Rue.”, He also mentions the Launch Chamber with Cinna, the tribute parade where she becomes the “girl on fire” and the berry scene, which he feels is one of the most poignant scenes in the book. He goes on to say that Suzanne’s book is filled with dozens of such scenes and it’s his job to do them “justice”

This is Rue's 4 note Mockingjay Call song. Available in iTunes US for FREE
