I had to check out what the buzz was all about and a while ago read both of the Hunger Games books back to back and then eagerly awaited the third chapter.
The film adaptation has been on the books for a while now, and with tiny bits of news inkling out every now and again, we finally get a release date for The Hunger Games movie.
Lionsgate has chosen a release date for high-profile event picture The Hunger Games: March 23, 2012.
Gary Ross is directing the feature adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ bestselling young adult tome. Hunger Games is the first in a trilogy of science fiction novels that have developed a global following.
There are more than 3.3 million copies of Hunger Games in print in the U.S. alone, while foreign rights have been sold in 41 countries, according to publisher Scholastic.
This is good news indeed, as it means we will be getting a LOT more news in coming months.
To accomplish a very ambitious release date of March 2012, they are going to have to solidify the cast very soon.
I am eager to see this adapted to the big screen, and I can’t see it being more harsh than a PG-13.
