The Hunger Games

CHICAGO – So, you are a humongous Hunger Games fan, but you live in the Chicago area and won’t be able to see the stars at the Hollywood premiere, huh? Well don’t you worry, because “The Hunger Games” is coming to you. Dates have been released for a national mall tour for the film, and Chicago has made the list.

CHICAGO – The much anticipated release of “The Hunger Games” is officially 50 days away, and the Twitter world exploded this morning with #HungerGames50 tweets after a new trailer was released for the film. The trailer, which includes several scenes we have already seen from the first theatrical trailer, adds new conversations between Katniss and several other characters, including Prim, Gale, and Caesar.

CHICAGO – Fans of the hit book series and much anticipated film series “The Hunger Games” were treated to a full look inside the world of Panem this morning when Lionsgate debuted a full trailer for the new film. After a short teaser trailer premiered this past summer showing the main character, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), running through a forest during battle, the new trailer gives a full look at the modern/futuristic world.

CHICAGO – Lionsgate is hoping that their upcoming launch of film adaptations of the hit books “The Hunger Games” will be the next “Twilight” or “Harry Potter” franchise and they’ve cast two young stars to appear alongside the Oscar-nominated Jennifer Lawrence (“Winter’s Bone”) — Josh Hutcherson (“The Kids Are All Right”) and Liam Hemsworth (“The Last Song”).
