    Hah, true.

    Though, is there a site where I can find all the confirmed information about the movie? As in, scenes they've shot and so on?

    With such rating they can't show blood coming from a human being, only creatures, monsters etc (thus why LOTR has a good amount of gore, all spewing out of orcs).


    Yeah cause decapitation isn't gory.. specially when theY put all those head on the catapults " RELEASE THE PRISONERS!"

    But you never get to see the orcs decapitate them, and there is barely any blood, thus the studio allowed it.

    A HG fansite just tweeted this:

    We just got something REALLY COOL in the mail today. Can't wait to share it with you on Thursday, 2/2!! #HungerGames

    --

    Imagine it's the trailer announcement?! Lionsgate do like to send the fansite stuff acting as the Capitol. Maybe they got some announcement letter?

    so.. this person im following said his/her brother saw a screening of it...



    "

    o_O I AM FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW! LIKE I AM LEGIT DYING (ok im sorry, if you dont wanna know what the hunger games movie is gonna be like then do not read this)
    MY BROTHER JUST TOLD ME HE WENT TO AN EARLY SCREENING OF A MOVIE….GUESS WHAT THAT MOVIE WAS…IT WAS THE @#!*% HUNGER GAMES…IM DYING…HE SAID HE SAW IT IN MIAMI…HE IS DOING A FILM MAJOR AND HIS FRIEND BROUGHT HIM…HE SAID IT WAS SOOO GREAT. HE SAID IT WAS BETTER THAN HARRY POTTER AND SO MUCH BETTER THAN HE THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE.

    HE SAID THERE WAS NO NARRATION. AND THEY SHOWED HAYMITCH AND THEIR FAMILIES REACTION TO THE GAMES. AND SENECA CRANE WAS INVOLVED MORE IN THE MOVIE. HE SAID THEY CUT AWAY RIGHT WHEN RUE WAS KILLED BUT THEY SHOWED KATNISS FACIAL EXPRESSION. HE SAID THE MUSIC WAS FANTASTIC AND SUSPENSEFUL. THEY PLAYED TAYLOR SWIFTS SONG AND THE OTHER SONGS DURING THE CREDITS. HE SAID THE MUTTS WERE AWESOME! AND HE CANT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW AWESOME THEY WERE. HE SAID THE ACTING WAS FANTASTIC!

    HE SAID THERE WASN’T AS MUCH KISSING LIKE IN THE BOOKS EITHER. HE SAID KATNISS WASN’T IN THE TREES AS MUCH AS IN THE BOOK EITHER.

    HE SAID THE ACTOR FOR CAESAR WAS FANTASTIC AS WELL! ALSO WITH CINNA!!

    HE SAID THE WAY THEY TOLD IT WITHOUT NARRATION WAS EXCELLENT, AND THE CINEMATOGRAPHY WAS AMAZING! HE SAID THE ACTING WAS EXCELLENT.

    HE SAID THE BERRY SCENE WAS SO SUSPENSEFUL!!

    HE SAID THE BEST PART WAS WHEN CATO WAS RUNNING TOWARDS THEM AND THEN THEY REALIZED HE WAS ACTUALLY RUNNING FROM THE MUTTS!

    HE ALSO SAID THE ENDING WAS JUST LIKE THE BOOK! WITH THEM WALKING OFF THE TRAIN!!!!!!!!!! HE SAID THE VERY FIRST SCENE WAS KATNISS HUNTING!!!

    HE SAID IT WAS A LITTLE OVER 2 HOURS LONG!!!!!!!!!

    I HAVE SO MANY CHILLS RIGHT NOW…LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA…IM CRYING OF JEALOUSNESS…LIKE LEGIT…IM HAVING A PANIC ATTACK RIGHT NOW…AND I DON’T KNOW WHY…IM IN TOTAL SHOCK AND ASLKDFJASK;LDFAISKL

    AND HE’S NOT LYING…TRUST ME…I ASKED HIM WHAT CAN MAKE ME BELIEVE HIM AND HE SAID: “PRESIDENT SNOW WAS IN IT MORE TOO. DURING THE PARTS IN THE ARENA WHERE THERE WASN’T MUCH ACTION, THEY SHOWED AN INTERVIEW WITH CAESAR AND SNOW ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE GAMES.” ASDJFKLASDFJKLASDFJKLASDFJKL THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

    HE SAID HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT MOVIE HE WAS GONNA SEE SO HIS TICKET DOESN’T SAY THE HUNGER GAMES.

    IF I LATER FIND OUT HE WAS LYING I WILL @#!*% RIP HIS HEART OUT OF HIS CHEST AND MAKE HIS ALREADY DEAD BODY CHOKE ON IT…BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT HE IS LYING…"


    hmm..?

    :-?

    They never had a test screening of the movie, so it could be real. I doubt it though. He's just trolling her.

    do you think there will be a test screening? like the way potters screenings were where we got info about the film after there done seeing it?
  • TheDoctorTheDoctor Posts: 3,941 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Well even when the film comes out I am sure some people (mostly teenagers) will be saying that the Hunger Games is better than Harry Potter for the sole reason of more action.
  • silverarrowgriffinsilverarrowgriffin Posts: 3,234 ✭✭✭✭✭
    The Hunger Games novel is shorter than HP so it'd be easier to write the script without cutting too many stuff

  • You know my library teacher person was on set when they filmed the cave seane in the hunger games. Not like on screan by behind the scens kind of she said
    it was really cool to go and see the movie set.I just know the movie will be good. Who has read the hunger game?
  • silverarrowgriffen that is true wat u said about the script sorry if i spelled your user name wrong.

    Mockingjay.net posted something about some exciting news they will be sharing later this week. In the post, they capitalized certain letters of the sentence, which spelled out NECA. NECA is the National Entertainment Collectibles Association, so I'm assuming it will be some hunger games figurines of some sort.

    So the exciting news isn't too exciting.

    Yep. They have held the license for several years now. There are photos of figure sculpts floating around twitter. I saw some the other day. I remember seeing one of Jennifer Lawrence's character.

    That doesn't sound like it's for figuriens. They wouldn't make a big deal of something they announced weeks ago and disappoint fans

    I'm still going to say it's the trailer announcement. Next week is the release of Journey 2, and it was expected to be attached to it. It makes sense that they'll announce it late this week, premiere it Monday/Tuesday online, then have it with the film.

    this reminds of the days when we would be anxiously awaiting a trailer for Harry potter......how i miss being able to use my old catchphrase.....ill wait for a press release. those were the best days ever.....sigh

    I never said it was. I was just stating that images of the figures of the characters are floating around.

    Oh, that wasn't directed towards your comment. I was commenting on the qoute I posted, and how it doesn't really fit with what Kranen said about NECA.

    I know, since that I've read the book, I can't wait for the movie. Just hoping not to fight with annoying purists because they changed a useless detail.

    I think I'm going to pick up the first book again and try to finish it before the movie. My hubby just finished Catching Fire....I think he's hooked XD XD.....he's telling me now that we have to see the movie and keeps asking when it comes out LOL
  • CarneCarne Posts: 1,928 ✭✭✭
    Halfway through the second book.

    Get to the action already!
  • PotterFan_649PotterFan_649 Posts: 794 ✭✭✭
    i like just started the last book. Catching Fire was REALLY good though, Carne the action comes at Chapter 19. Did you past the part when Peeta and KAtniss are watching past Hunger Games?

    This happened to me too, when I read the second book. I didn't think it really picked up until just a bit before halfway through the book! I had a hard time getting through the first half.

    We sign up now, but later it will have something to do with looking around the Capitol. Maybe watch clips from the movie.

    Eh, the Capitol looks cool but not really what I imagined. I saw it as more of a high-tech city with tall skyscrapers rather than shorter, spread-out buildings. And the City Circle wasn't a long walkway, and I didn't see at as surrounded by mountains. :P Still, I guess it's pretty cool nonetheless.
    imageimageimage
  • JasonJason Posts: 7,279 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I like how it's surrounded by mountains. It is suppose to be hidden in the Rocky Mountains, so it's a nice choice. :D

    I've had a weird, unfounded feeling in my gut that these movies will get more Oscar attention than Potter...
    Everything gets more oscar attention then potter.

    POTTER is over and will never again get oscar attention. so yea hunger games could possibly get oscar attention but i don,t see that happening.
  • PotterFan_649PotterFan_649 Posts: 794 ✭✭✭
    If Jennifer has the acting chops, she might be able to get a nod but likely not. I do think that the movie will get a nomination for make-up.

    It will most likely get Costume Design or Make-up, based on what we saw so far. But that's it. Unless the movie is so unbelievably good, then it can get some like Sound Editing, Art Direction, and more.
