The Hunger Games is an upcoming science fiction action-drama film directed by Gary Ross and based on the novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. It stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Hemsworth, and Woody Harrelson.[3] It will be released on March 21, 2012 in France and some other countries[4] and in the United States and many other counries on March 23, 2012[5] in conventional theaters and in digital IMAX theaters.[6]

Plot

At an unidentified future date, the nation of Panem has risen out of the ruins of what was once known as North America. Due to an unsuccessful uprising by the districts of Panem, a raffle (known as the "reaping") is held to choose one boy and one girl, aged 12–18, from each of the twelve districts to participate in the Hunger Games, a competition in which each contestant, or tribute, battles until only one is left. The winner receives honor, gifts, and enough food and supplies to never worry about anything ever again. The Hunger Games are a yearly reminder to the 12 districts of the Capitol's authority, and punishment for their rebellion over 70 years ago, in which the 13th district was supposedly destroyed.

In District 12, sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) cares for her mother (Paula Malcomson) and her sister Primrose "Prim" (Willow Shields) since her father died in a mine accident when she was 11. Each year, since the age of 12, Katniss' name has been placed in the reaping more than once. In return for taking this extra annual risk, she receives extra tessarae, which is grain and oil for her family. In addition, Katniss has been illegally hunting for food outside the boundary fences of District 12 with her friend Gale (Liam Hemsworth), whose father died in the same mining accident.

Prim, now age 12, has her name placed in the reaping for the first time—only once—and it is unexpectedly drawn. Katniss volunteers to replace her sister in the Games. She competes against other tributes, including "Career Tributes" who have been training illegally for the Games their entire lives, as well as Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), the male tribute from District 12, who has secretly loved Katniss since childhood, and who once showed her a kindness she could never forget.

Before the Hunger Games begin, she is given a stylist, Cinna (Lenny Kravitz), and a prep team to help her make a good impression with the sponsors. Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), the official District 12 escort, brings Katniss and Peeta to the Capitol and helps them prepare for the opening ceremony and their interviews with Caesar Flickerman (Stanley Tucci). Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), a drunk and the only living victor from District 12, mentors both Katniss and Peeta before and during the Hunger Games.

Once in the arena, Katniss must rely on her illegal hunting skills, her stealth and speed, and her wits in order to survive. She may have an unlikely ally in the Games' smallest member: Rue from District 11, and she quickly makes enemies in the Career Tributes from Districts 1 and 2, who are threatened by her popularity with the audience. She also has to fight her anger for the Capitol and 'put on a good show' in order to receive food and aid from sponsors.

Cast

Lionsgate confirmed in March 2011 that about 30 actresses either met or read for the role of Katniss, including Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, Emma Roberts, Saoirse Ronan, Chloë Moretz, Lyndsy Fonseca, Emily Browning, Shailene Woodley and Kaya Scodelario.[22][23] On March 16, 2011 it was announced that Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence of the indie film Winter's Bone landed the coveted role.[24] Though Lawrence was 20, four years older than the character,[25] author Suzanne Collins said that the actress who plays Katniss has to have "a certain maturity and power" and said she would rather the actress be older than younger.[26] Collins states that Lawrence was the "only one who truly captured the character I wrote in the book" and that she had "every essential quality necessary to play Katniss."[27] Lawrence, a fan of the books, took three days to accept the role.[22] Lawrence was initally intimidated by the size of the movie and what it may mean for her fame.[22][28]

According to The Hollywood Reporter, contenders for the role of Peeta other than Hutcherson included Alexander Ludwig (who was later cast as Cato), Hunter Parrish, Lucas Till, and Evan Peters.[29] Other actors considered for the role of Gale included David Henrie, Drew Roy, and Robbie Amell.[29] In April 2011, John C. Reilly was in talks with Lionsgate to portray Haymitch Abernathy, former victor of a Hunger Games held years before and mentor to Katniss and Peeta.[30] The following month Lionsgate announced that the role went to Woody Harrelson.[9]

Production

Jennifer Lawrence was ultimately cast as Katniss, and dyed her hair brown for the part.

Lionsgate Entertainment acquired worldwide distribution rights in March 2009 with Nina Jacobson's production company Color Force.[31][32] Collins adapted the novel for film herself,[32] and her script was revised by screenwriter Billy Ray.[33] Collins anticipates the film to have a PG-13 rating.[34] Alli Shearmur, Lionsgate President of Motion Picture Production, and Jim Miller, Lionsgate Senior Vice President of Motion Picture Production, are in charge of overseeing the production of the movie. Shearmur said:

"The Hunger Games is an incredible property and it is a thrill to bring it home to Lionsgate. This is exactly the kind of movie I came to Lionsgate to make: youthful, exciting, smart and edgy. We are looking forward to working with Nina and Suzanne to create a movie that satisfies audiences' hunger for high-quality entertainment."[35]

Gary Ross became the director in November 2010.[36][37] With an initial budget of $75 million,[38] principal photography began near Brevard in Transylvania County, North Carolina in Western North Carolina in May 2011[39] and concluded on September 15, 2011 with a final budget reported as between $90 million and $100 million, reduced to $78 million after subsidies.[1][22] Director Steven Soderbergh served as a second unit director.[40]

Lawrence dyed her blonde hair brown for the part of Katniss.[41] She also underwent extensive training to get in shape for the role, including archery, rock and tree climbing, combat, running, vaulting, and yoga,[42] and experienced an accident on the last day of her six-week training phase, in which she hit a wall while running at full speed.[22]

The film has been rated 12A by the BBFC in the UK for "intense threat, moderate violence and occasional gory moments".[2] To achieve that rating, Lionsgate had to cut or substitute seven seconds of film by "digitally removing blood splashes and the sight of blood on wounds and weapons".[43]

Music

Soundtrack

Main article: The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond

The first single from the film's companion album, "Safe & Sound" by Taylor Swift featuring The Civil Wars, was released on December 23, 2011.[44] It reached number one on the iTunes overall charts in 12 hours.[citation needed] The music video for "Safe & Sound" was released on February 13, 2012. Along with separate songs from Swift and The Civil Wars, the soundtrack will also feature songs by The Decemberists, Arcade Fire, The Secret Sisters, Miranda Lambert featuring The Pistol Annies,[45] Neko Case,[46] Kid Cudi[45] Academy Award winner Glen Hansard,[45] The Low Anthem,[45] Punch Brothers,[45] Birdy,[45] Maroon 5, Jayme Dee,[45] and Carolina Chocolate Drops.[45] The soundtrack will be released on March 20, 2012.[47] The soundtrack tracklist was revealed on iTunes on February 13, 2012, and on the 14th "One Engine" was released as the second single. Jennifer Lawrence singing "Rue's Lullaby" is not included in the soundtrack.

Score

Lionsgate originally announced that Danny Elfman and T-Bone Burnett would score The Hunger Games, with Burnett also acting as the film's executive music producer to produce songs for the soundtrack.[48] However, due to scheduling conflicts, Elfman was later replaced by James Newton Howard.[49]

Reception

Critical response

The Hunger Games has received positive reviews from critics. Based on 61 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 90% Certified 'Fresh' rating and an average score of 7.6/10.[50] At Metacritic, which normalizes critical reviews on a scale of 1-100, the film has a 77, indicating "generally favorable reviews", based on reviews from 18 critics.[51]

Many critics have lauded Jennifer Lawrence for her portrayal as Katniss Everdeen. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she embodies Katniss, "just as one might imagine her from the novel". Empire magazine said "Lawrence is perfect as Katniss, there's very little softness about her, more a melancholy determination that good must be done even if that requires bad things.[52]

Simon Reynolds of Digital Spy gave the film four stars out of five, calling it "enthralling from beginning to end, science fiction that has depth and intelligence to match its pulse-racing entertainment value". Reynolds also spoke highly of Lawrence's performance and director Gary Ross, whose "rough and ready handheld camerawork" meant that viewers were "with Katniss for every blood-flecked moment of her ordeal in the combat arena".[53]

Eric Goldman of IGN awarded the film four out of five stars, stating that director Gary Ross "gets the tone of The Hunger Games right. This is a grounded, thoughtful and sometimes quite emotional film, with its dark scenario given due weight. Ross doesn't give the film a glossy, romanticized 'Hollywood' feel, but rather plays everything very realistically and stark, as Katniss must endure these outrageous and horrible scenarios." The film received a slight amount of criticism for its shaky camera style, but it was said to "add to the film in certain ways." Both Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were praised for their portrayals as Katniss and Peeta, and Goldman also drew attention to the role reversal of sorts between the male and female leads, as well as the fact that Lawrence is taller than Hutcherson, which is rare in such films. Katniss is seen as more of a "classic hero figure" and Peeta is the one who needs to be protected. Ross' was criticized due to his lack of experience with action films, but in general, Goldman felt that viewers would enjoy the film regardless of whether they had read the book.[54]

Box office

On February 22, 2012, The Hunger Games broke records for advanced ticket sales on Fandango. The sales were reported to be 83% of the site’s totals, toppling the previous record-holder, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which set a record on May 14, 2010.[55]

Sequels

On August 8, 2011, while still shooting the film, Lionsgate announced that a film adaptation of the second novel in The Hunger Games trilogy, Catching Fire, is scheduled to be released on November 22, 2013.[57] In November 2011, Lionsgate entered negotiations with Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours screenwriter Simon Beaufoy to adapt the novel for screen, since the post-production schedule for The Hunger Games was too crowded for Ross and Collins to adapt the next film as originally planned. Ross was still expected to return as director for the sequel.[58] In January 2012, Ross and Beaufoy were officially signed on to their roles as director and screenwriter, respectively.[59]

Woody Harrelson revealed in a November 2011 interview that he has signed on for four films.[60] The February 2012 issue of The Hollywood Reporter indicated that Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth have all signed on to the whole franchise.[22]
