We’ve already seen a lot of posters for the 3rd Hunger Games movie but none with the films protagonist. So they fixed that sorta.

There are a boat load of characters in the last two Hunger Games movies and here are character posters for some of them.
In one of the smartest marketing moves in recent memory Lionsgate has just announced that multiplatinum, Grammy Award winning, gives Dave Grohl hope for the future, and (how is she only) 17-year-old Lorde will curate the soundtrack to the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.
A story about teens, read by teens, starring teens, and now musically influenced by teens. You can also exchange all of those “teens” for “females”. Because make no mistake, the Hunger Games is blockbuster feminism for Generation Z.

Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death last week has left a number of projects in the lurch, but the biggest budget one has a solution and I think I’m OK with it.
It’s hard to believe that it has only been a year and a half since _The Hunger Games_ came out. There has been a string of young adult books adapted into movies following the success of Harry Potter, most of them featuring an up and coming young actor in the lead surrounded by Hollywood veterans, usually fighting against some oppressive regime. The Hunger Games was no different. Jennifer Lawrence was aiming for her big break and Lionsgate was looking for a new cash cow.
The film itself wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t really _good_ either. Suffering from a small budget and a weak screenplay it fell comfortably into the “good enough” category and made enough money to warrant adapting the rest of the series into movies.
It’s a good thing too because where _The Hunger Games_ was just good enough, _The Hunger Games: Catching Fire_ is actually really good.
We finally have a full trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Let’s take a look!

The Hunger Games, like it or not, was a huge hit last year. I didn’t think it was bad, I just wished it were better. So here’s the first teaser for the second movie, Catching Fire:
To be fair, there’s a lot we don’t see here and it is just a teaser, but it any of this is as well executed as it looks and the cast brings their A game (which they are all more than capable of doing) then this might end up being great. Hopefully.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire comes out this November.
