GOOD MORNING AMERICA TO DEBUT WORLD EXCLUSIVE OF ‘THE HUNGER GAMES’ TRAILER

Lionsgate Partners With The Award Winning Morning Show To Air Highly Anticipated Footage From The Film On November 14th, 2011

SANTA MONICA, CA (November 10, 2011) – LIONSGATE® (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, today announced an exclusive partnership with ABC’s Good Morning America to world premiere the highly anticipated trailer for THE HUNGER GAMES.

The debut will be hosted in person by actor Josh Hutcherson (THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT), who plays the pivotal character of Peeta Mellark in the film, in the top rated 8:00 hour of the show on Monday, November 14th. In addition to airing nationwide, the trailer will also be shown in its entirety on Good Morning America’s jumbotron in New York City’s Times Square.

The partnership, which further distinguishes the film as a major motion picture event, will mark the first time ever that audiences will be exposed to sights and sounds from the film such as Katniss’ home District 12 and the opulent Capitol. With 16 million copies of The Hunger Games in circulation, a vast audience of book fans will also undoubtedly tune in for the first chance to hear the beloved characters speak iconic lines of dialogue from its pages.

About THE HUNGER GAMES
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

THE HUNGER GAMES is directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 16 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following.

Hunger Games Movie Stills: Katniss Everdeen Shooting Her Bow and Arrow

I know, that I'm late to party for this movie still from The Hunger Games but I still want to post this thing here in my blog. As seen in the picture, Jennifer Lawrence is really in to her character as Katniss Everdeen trying to shoot her bow and arrow. 


Will we see this movie still come to life in The Hunger Games Trailer? We'll see if this happens. All we have to do is wait for it to be released. Be patient everyone, I'm sure their trailer will be a good one. I hope.

The Hunger Games Has Officially Finished Filming!

According to The Hunger games official Facebook page, The Hunger Games has officially finished filming.

Here’s the official press release from Lionsgate:

THE HUNGER GAMES IS A WRAP

Close Of Principal Photography Confirmed

SANTA MONICA, CA (September 15, 2011) – LIONSGATE® (NYSE: LGF), a leading global entertainment company, today announced the close of principal photography on the highly anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ runaway bestselling novel The Hunger Games. Lionsgate will release THE HUNGER GAMES on March 23, 2012. The film is the first in a series that Lionsgate is making based on the book trilogy that has become a worldwide phenomenon.

Filmed entirely in North Carolina, the locations spanned from a dense forest in which the arena that hosts the games themselves was created to a town that stood in for Katniss’ home, District 12, to a sound stage that was the platform for the fantastical sights and sounds of The Capitol, the futuristic capital city of the nation of Panem. Principal photography on the 84 day production began on May 23rd.

The film pairs Oscar® nominee Jennifer Lawrence (WINTER’S BONE, X-MEN FIRST CLASS) with Josh Hutcherson (THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT) and Liam Hemsworth (THE LAST SONG) in the key young adult roles. Rounding out the cast is a who’s who of acclaimed adult actors: Oscar® nominee Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Oscar® nominee Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Wes Bentley and Toby Jones.

It has been an absolute thrill watching THE HUNGER GAMES, a project that has truly become part of Lionsgate’s DNA since our acquisition of the book in 2009, come to life. What I observed on set was impressive on every level, and reinforced my confidence that we have assembled precisely the right team to bring Suzanne Collins’ brilliant novel to the big screen,” said Joe Drake, Lionsgate’s co-COO and Motion Picture Group President.

Although the intensely anticipated sets were closed to press and visitors, Lionsgate and the filmmakers were able to reach out and touch the incredibly eager fans several times during the production process.

Lionsgate debuted the central cast trio through two Entertainment Weekly covers, featuring Jennifer Lawrence in character as Katniss and Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth in character as Peeta and Gale. It marked the first time that a studio has revealed a principal cast of film characters on sequential national magazine covers.

Winners of “The Ultimate Hunger Games Fan Sweeps,” a global contest where fans entered to win the opportunity to be flown to the set of THE HUNGER GAMES, was the one exception to the film’s closed set policy. In mid August, five winners from around the world and their guests got a glimpse of the sets, observed the filming of a scene and met the cast.

A heavily promoted first look at footage from the film debuted on MTV’s 2011 Video Music Awards on August 28th. The show attracted MTV’s biggest audience in the network’s history with a record-breaking 12.4 million total viewers.

REVIEWS&RAMBLINGS: What can I say about the Hunger Games Teaser Trailer?

Source

So, yeah. Almost everybody has already seen the teaser trailer for the movie adaptation for The Hunger Games. Some LIKED IT. Some LOVED IT. Some are just a SO-SO.

Well for me, I was pretty much expecting that the teaser trailer will showcase clips from the movie not just a clip from a certain scene of the movie, do you get what I'm trying to say? I was hoping that it would include at least their names being called in the day of the reaping, the Katniss and Gale moment in the woods and most of all Peeta and Katniss moments. I was really eager to see the chemistry of Katniss and Peeta, but sadly we didn't get to see that.

But on the bright side, the teaser trailer was also good because of the voice over of the lines of Gale in it, the background music that they matched for the scene AND the one that I liked the most is at the end of the trailer, RUE'S FOUR NOTE (and don't forget it's already available in ITunes, download it now!). That just made it for me.

By that I just hope, the full trailer of the movie will be better than this one! And please include Peeta and Katniss scenes, I really need to see them together. 'Cause until now, I'm still trying to picture in my mind how Jennifer and Josh will work on-screen. So, please help me figure out that. Haha. :D

Okay, Bye Bye.
