Re: The Hunger Games
one problem might be J-Law, shes going to look way too old to play a teenage heroine by the end of the series, though she is blessed/cursed with exceptionally youthful features.

Re: The Hunger Games
I don't see the problem Raj. It's a year later in the second book, so both Katniss and Lawrence will have aged a year

Re: The Hunger Games
I agree. What I think will be more of a change is that since Katniss is older, everyone else gets older as well. I'd say they'll cast Finnick and Johanna closer to 30 (can I bring this up in this thread or should I wait for someone to create a Catching Fire one?)canadian_turtle wrote:It's a year later in the second book, so both Katniss and Lawrence will have aged a year
Re: The Hunger Games
Nope. Was offered choice of any other film playing as way of compensation. This is the normal I believe. Seen this before. Wanted to see it again. Is good.beardy2 wrote:Heh. So when you showed up, they just said, "sorry, do you mind seeing Hunger Games instead?"

Re: The Hunger Games
I loved this film, best I've seen this year but i didn't like the ending. It was just too cheeseball.
for that reason it gets an 8.5-10

Re: The Hunger Games
Just saw this again. Enjoyed it much better with some distance between reading the book and watching it. Still some glaring differences and I can't help but feel the film is lacking slightly. OH really enjoyed it and remarked that he saw Donald Sutherland in London the other week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS Finished the books last week. First book is the best, for me. Am looking forward to seeing the next two films.

Re: The Hunger Games
Finihed reading all the books while away :), same as anakin, first one is my fave, though i do love the second, the third seems a bit too up in the air, and i think the ending needed to be more dramatic and satisfying rather than what we're given!
However, saw the film twice while away, and going to see it tonight too!

I still can't get over Caesar flcikerman's face, oh his face

Im highly anticipating the next one, the script is going to need A LOT of work to fit all the action in though as well as the mechanics behind it and what's going on on the outside I think will prove very important to understanding the whole shabam, shame about the news that Gary Ross won't continue :/
