The Hunger Games

I didn't know Mockingjay would be two films! Yay more Hunger Games

Entertainment Weekly has stated it might happen, but the producer has been saying she's not sure. I personally think Chasing Fire would be better suited divided in two than Mockingjay.

Hope I haven't gotten too off topic with Hunger Games, but I'd definitely be interested to hear about people's casting ideas for Chasing Fire (can we continue this on here or do we need to start a new Chasing Fire thread?)

I don't see why not, just spoiler tag anything that might be very spoiler-ish?

I'm happy either way as it'll mean more films

I don't think Catching Fire or Mockingjay need to be split into 2 films. There isn't enough story in either book to justify 2 films. There is a a lot in both books that can be trimmed to make them into single movies.

You're absolutely right but I'm greedy and want more films!

I could definitely see Mockingjay as 2 films. There is a lot of ground to cover.

There is a lot more ground in Mockingjay but I think Catching Fire has a more obvious thematic split [spoiler]between the Victory tour and the games. But they'd have to beef up the rebellion aspect of the victory tour.[/spoiler]

I absolutely adored this. I thought it was fantastic, really weighty stuff, anchored by a terrific central performance from Jennifer Lawrence and a blistering fast pace. This is the first time I've actually finished a review the day I watched the movie, I was so excited, so you should probably read it:

Now I'm off to email the BBFC, asking them to release an uncut version...

Saw this at DCA Dundee - what a fab cinema that is. The clarity of the screen was amazing and by far the best I can recall seeing. Comfy padded chairs, great bar, just a little more leg room needed for us lanky sorts!

Now, the film. I really really enjoyed this. It was well acted, well thought out and the BBFC cuts that allowed the 12A didn't detract from the film at all.

I may just have to go and get the books.

I b*ght the books straight after watching the movie but i can't get my hands on them yet as my daughter's reading them. She's really enjoying them

Television Without Pity weighs in on a Catching Fire director (very, very minorly spoilery) and agrees with my Kathryn Bigelow pick! :-)
