If it's crap ... We'll tell you

King of the Koopas posted a statusThe closer we get to 'The Hunger Games' the more I have to admit I'm looking forward to it. Like many of you, I saw the first trailer and could not shake how much it looked like a knockoff of 'Battle Royale.' Clearly there's more to the story in the books, and probably in the film, but it was just a snap judgment that lingered. This new film clip from the Gary Ross-directed adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novels informs of at least one distinction between the two films. The Hunger Games themselves are obviously more about pageantry and selling the contestants as commodities. In the clip, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) meets with her stylist Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) as he discusses his plan for her new look and the importance of gaining sponsors. I'm impressed particularly with Kravitz in this clip who I have never seen act in any film prior. Take a look at the clip below and let us know what you think.
'The Hunger Games'hits theaters March 23rd.

Comment by BLAM! on March 7, 2012 at 2:33pm Look at it this way, Harry Potter was not an original idea (Wizard Schools have been done)
Twilight was probably the worst fad to come around for movies and that was obviously unoriginal.
Hunger Games is one of many Horror Gameshow style series that have been made that were inspired by Battle Royale. I'd rather see legions of fans for this series and watch Twilight finally fade out of the spotlight.
Thus why I am excited for this movie, and hope it does not fall the way of the Narnia, Eragon, The Golden Compass, etc etc etc.
Comment by McCheekerson on March 7, 2012 at 2:31pm LOVE IT! I love the books. <3333 Counting down to when it comes out and hoping it won't disappoint me like 'Watchmen' did.
Comment by Cody on March 7, 2012 at 2:28pm Goddamnit I'm pumped for this! Something about the way the trailers and clips are playing up not just the games but the whole messed-up world surrounding them, like the pageant, makes the world feel a lot more fleshed out
