ZOMG, they’ve released the first trailer to the Hunger Games movie!!!!! Â So much excitement about this movie now that I’ve seen the trailer and the fact that it doesn’t look like shite. Â Yes, I spelled shite, with an e. Â Because this adaptation of the PHENOMENAL book by Suzanne Collins had so much potential to be utter shite. Â But this trailer, oh dear, this trailer. Â It doesn’t even show you any part of the actual games, it shows you everything about the build-up to the actual Games themselves, which admittedly does take up a good third or two-fifths of the book….so exciting. Â Honestly, I can say that you should read the book series. Â The first book will get you unbelievably hooked, and with the way it ends, you’ll immediately want to tear into Catching Fire, the second book of the trilogy.
I downloaded the first book to my iPad earlier this year as I had heard so much about how compelling the story is. Â Richard Lawson on Gawker raved ridiculously about the series, and while I was hesitant as I really didn’t want to read a Twilight knock-off, I figured download one and see how it is. Â I read the first chapter and was immediately hooked. Â You know, I’m not going to bother with trying to describe the story, as the trailer does a fantastic job of actually setting up the story without giving anything of consequence away. Â So enjoy:
