The Hunger Games Movie
Posted on 18. Mar, 2009 by AmyO in Books, News
In November of last year our Book of the Month was The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Those of you that read the book and were sucked into the world of Katniss, Peeta and Gale and are eagerly waiting the release of Catching Fire in September of this year will be excited to know that The Hunger Games is going to be made into a movie! There are no details yet except that Lionsgate will be making the movie and Suzanne Collins will be writing the screenplay.
If you haven’t read The Hunger Games, it’s not too late! It’s a fantastic book! Once you’ve read it join our discussion forum here.

I. CAN. NOT. WAIT.
I have been pestering my sisters and mom to read this book just as badly as I did when I first read Twilight!
IT. IS. AMAZING.

I know!!! This is going to be awesome, to say the least. Especially because Suzanne is writing the screenplay herself. I think more authors should write the screenplays for movies based on their books.

I’ve given this book to almost as many people as I’ve forced Twilight on! I think the book will translate really well to the big screen…especially since the author will have control over the content. Can’t wait!

Very cool! I can’t wait. Suzanne is a terrific writer and the fact that she is doing the screenplay is very encouraging. I think the Hunger Games would appeal to many many people. It’s too bad Stephenie couldn’t do the saga screenplays.

I am so excited!!!! I loved this book. I can wait until Catching Fire comes out, now a movie too. It gives us all something else to talk about so we can “hide” our Twilight obsession a little

It is sooo exciting to see that the next book is coming, and the movie just adds the icing on the cake. Loved the book, and also encouraged all my friends to read it. And I so agree with Misty… temporarily… we can “hide” our Twilight Obsessions….

I can’t say that I like this book better then Twilight but it is still pretty good. I can’t wait till they start announcing stuff, like the cast and director.
If I could cast the film these would my choices:
Megan fox as Foxface
mike Welch as peeta http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3647379200/nm0919616
maybe ben barnes as gale http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1773048320/nm1602660
and bianca Malino or Nicole Vaccaro as Katnis http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4105148160/nm2841629 http://www.imdb.com/media/rm863275776/nm3160727

I live in a house of all men and could not get any of them into Twilight…when I brought home The Hunger Games, my 13 year old read it with me and loved it! We have both been waiting anxiously for the next book. It’ fun to have this to share with him, and we both can’t wait for the movie!
