And here comes The Hunger Games, it is a novel series written by Suzanne Collins. The series consists of three books: The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. The first of which is to be adapted into a movie this March 2012 by the production outfit Lions Gate Entertainment. The movie stars Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: First Class) as Katniss Everdeen, Josh Hutcherson (Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant) as Peeta Mellark and Liam Hemsworth (The Last Song) as Gale Hawthorne.
So what's with The Hunger Games, well, it's like Big Brother fused with Battle Royale. To explain things further, it is an annual event in the fictional country of Panem wherein a boy and a girl tribute of ages 12 to 18 from each of the 12 districts are set to fight, and did I say kill each other to win and survive. One more thing, it's televised all over the country and mainly caters the citizens of the Capitol for entertainment, how cruel can that be? The Hunger Games is somehow the way of the Capitol, the controlling arm of Panem, to remind the citizens of the 12 districts that they can never overthrow the Capitol from being in power. But everything changes in the 74th Hunger Games, when Katniss, a sixteen year-old girl from District 12, plays the game her way and rekindle the flame of rebellion in the hearts of the people of Panem.
Here's the countdown to The Hunger Games:
