Okay… so maybe soon has been used loosely here – but that’s not my fault man. I’m excited to see OSCAR WINNER JENNIFER LAWRENCE! I wanna see Katniss kick some more ass.
There was a lot of hype for the 1st Hunger Games movie and now that we’re all in on Jennifer I think we’re going to see more hype again as November approaches. Josh Hutcherson is no slouch either. His stock is rising and his star is burning bright. Heck, he even did that Red Dawn movie with the Hemsworth brother who is Thor and not Gale.
And don’t forget that we still get Donald Sutherland, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Lenny Kravitz and Philip Seymour Hoffman!
It’s a pretty awesome cast.
And the 2nd story was not bad to read.
This could be pretty darn good. And exciting. And emotional. And visually pleasing. And intense. And most of all, entertaining.
If you still haven’t read The Hunger Games books by Suzanne Collins but you loved the 1st movie and you are excited for the Catching Fire – get out and read them. Reading is still the best way to ingest the story. Don’t rob yourself of that!
And don’t give me any of that they’re kids books crap. So was Harry Potter and so was Twilight and so many of you/us read those books that the excuse doesn’t hold any water when we’re talking about The Hunger Games now.
Note: I did not read nor have I watched any of the Twilight material. Why? Because, that’s why.
Now, when it comes to Catching Fire we’re all going to have to remember something… we need to get lost in the movie and the story. Now that we’ve seen Jennifer Lawrence in an Oscar winning role as an adult it may be a little bit harder to imagine her as an 18 year old at the head of a burgeoning revolution. But we’re going to have to if this movie is going to work. So try your best.
Especially exciting for me right how is the release of the “Official Portraits” we’ve seen in the last few days. I know that there are more coming. Probably of Cinna and President Snow and maybe more. Who knows.
I’m also excited for Johanna Mason to join the story!
There’s a lot of excitement.
And there’s enough time to go back and reread the book before the movie comes out.
I think that’s what I’m going to do.
Actually, it’s what I will do. No thinking about it really needs to happen.
We have just over 8 months until the release date. It sounds like a long time… but I’m hoping it goes by quickly!
Stay tuned for more images, posters, trailers and behind the scenes sneaks… I have a feeling that we’re going to be seeing a bunch of them. And I’m totally okay with that. More than okay with that.
It will be awesome!
