I have a weakness for teen fiction, but it has to be good teen fiction (I have standards). They're making The Hunger Games trilogy, my second favorite teen series, into a movie set to come out next year. AND I AM SO EXCITED. The casting looks spot on so far, and I can't wait until they release a trailer of some sort. I really hope they do this one justice, and that people see it so they'll be able to make the sequels. www.imdb.com/title/tt1392170/Thoughts? I assume most of you have read the books.

UUGUHHNNNNGNGNGN I can't wait. I'm stoked to see Woody Harrelson as Haymitch. Should be good shit. I'm also really hoping they'll make the arena out to be how I imagined it. Speaking of, where do you think the arena is in the whole wide North America? I kept imaging either the Rockies just because it didn't seem like the trip form the Capital to the arena was that long. If not there, then the Ozarks would be my next guess.

I was not expecting to see Lenny Kravitz on that list.
Also, I'm really, REALLY looking forward to this movie. I'm already happy with the casting, for the most part, especially the main characters.
I'd need to re-read the books. I feel like I rushed the first time because I NEEDED to know what happened, but now I'd be ready to give them a slower read through. The only problem with that is that I loaned the first book to a friend. :/

Do you have a Kindle? I'll lend it to you if you do No Kindle. Thanks, though. I thought about buying one and then paying full price for the books to go on it or just waiting a few days for a book and only paying a couple dollars for it. I still might end up with one someday when I have a hundred dollars lying around.

For some reason teen/YA books are the same price for kindle as they are in book format, but adult books are usually much cheaper (40 - 50% or so).

I really hope they get the whole trilogy made. I really want to see who they cast as Alma Coin, the president of District 13, and of course she's not in the books until Mockingjay. She's one of my favorite characters. Well, actually, she's my least favorite character but I find her extremely interesting.

It woulda been cool to get a little more background on President Coin. We pretty much gathered she was hellbent on getting Snow out of his position of power, but I always got the sense she had ulterior motives. Hmm...I wonder if Collins could shed some light on that in the future.

I am also dying for this movie to come out (the whole trilogy) but the odds of me going to see it in the theater are slim to none... I'll probably wait until it comes out on DVD. I can't stand teenies.

I just really really really don't want them to fuck up the costumes. maybe it's because my sister in law is a costume designer so I've been thinking about it more, I don't know, but they're all just so AWESOME sounding that I really think they're one of the things I'm most excited for.

Okay, this movie is pretty fucking overhyped at this point. I mean, as of today, the release date is still 7 months away and they're supposedly already planning the sequel. SLOW DOWN. That's not to say that I didn't get really really excited when they finally released to full casting: www.ew.com/ew/package/0,,20419951,00.html
