they are using the same formula as Twilight - casting some relatively unknown stars - Epiphany May 9, 07:46 23
- As I see it, Twilight was aimed at girls who like brooders. Hunger Games is aimed at girls who wonder, - Max May 9, 07:56 21
  - *however* dudes might be interested in HG too for the scifi and action. a well-cut trailer could make the first movie HUGE bank. -- nm - amanda jones May 9, 07:58 18
    - If they can get it a PG-13 it will be big. -- nm - Amy May 9, 08:05 7
      - I can't even imagine how they do this with a PG13 -- nm - Epiphany May 9, 08:13 6
        
        I simultaneously can't picture it, and also can't imagine the studio would release it as an R. -- nm - TFox May 9, 08:15 5
        
        if they want their $$ they have to go PG13. Maybe we get a directors cut at some point? -- nm - Epiphany May 9, 08:17
        
        I think PG13 should be pretty easy. no *way* it gets released as an R. -- nm - amanda jones May 9, 08:16 3
        
        There's no cursing. Easily PG-13. -- nm - JaxSean May 9, 08:19
        
        they'll just need to change or soften a couple shots. it'll be interesting to see how they do it. -- nm - TFox May 9, 08:18
        
        agreed. An R DVD release would be a great extra though -- nm - Beaker May 9, 08:17
    - It's got a chance at being big, but I think Twilight's on it's own little shelf with Potter as far as game-changing cultural phenoms. -- nm - Will Hunting May 9, 08:00 3
      - maybe you are right - but in this case the movie studios actually know what they got before hand - Epiphany May 9, 08:02 2
        
        Yes, they'll get their budget. -- nm - Will Hunting May 9, 08:06
        
        I forsee Mockingjay pins *everywhere* in the not so distant future. -- nm - JaxSean May 9, 08:04
    - (plus, hot[-ter] chick in the lead.) -- nm - JaxSean May 9, 07:59 5
      - but will she be shown as hot in the trailer? or as ruffian? -- nm - amanda jones May 9, 08:00 4
        
        probably both. -- nm - TFox May 9, 08:04
        
        If they took Jennifer Lawrence and made her less than hot, we riot. -- nm - Men May 9, 08:02 2
        
        She looked less hot in Winter's Bone. -- nm - JaxSean May 9, 08:03 1
        
        But 95% of people who know her at all now, saw her in that dress. - Will Hunting May 9, 08:06
  - I think the movie has the ability to cross-sell the action. Twilight is more about the love-triangle. -- nm - JaxSean May 9, 07:57 1
    - Thunderdome for kids! -- nm - Epiphany May 9, 07:58
- I'm with you. -- nm - JaxSean May 9, 07:50
well, it could. Twilight made those teens famous, not vice versa. - TFox May 9, 07:46 11
- True enough. I have not kept track of HG casting other than Lawrence. any hot young dudes? -- nm - loosilu May 9, 07:49 10
  - yes - Liam Hemsworth(sp?) Thor's little brother the guy from Last Song with Miley Cyrus and the son from the Kids are Alright - Epiphany May 9, 07:56
  - There will have to be. There are multiple hot young dude roles to cast. -- nm - TFox May 9, 07:51 8
    - I just don't feel any romance in HG. That's not it's point. There's no swooniness. - Amy May 9, 07:58 7
      - this is true. I hope they don't add the swooniness - it would ruin a perfectly good story -- nm - Epiphany May 9, 08:00 6
        
        I see two distinct trailers. In front of actiony movies I see the violence of the Games played up and before chick flicks I see the - Beaker May 9, 08:02 5

        I don't think I agree with that; both Kim and I commented while reading it - TFox May 9, 08:13 3

        well sure, it's almost all unrequited. -- nm - TFox May 9, 08:22
        
        I disagree. It almost feels added on--like the editor made her write Gale into a romantic lead. -- nm - Amy May 9, 08:19
