After steering the first film in The Hunger Games trilogy to a massive success, the biggest film of the year so far, Gary Ross decided last month that he wouldn’t be returning to direct the sequel, Catching Fire. Lionsgate have now officially announced that the search for his replacement is over, with Francis Lawrence signing [...]
Relativity Media have issued the first poster for their upcoming horror-thriller House at the End of the Street, due for release in the US on September 21. The film, which marks British filmmaker Mark Tonderai’s second crack behind the camera, centers on a girl who, after moving into a new house with her mother, befriends the surviving [...]
Lionsgate have acquired the rights to The Glass Castle, American writer and journalist Jeannette Walls’ tell-all memoir. Released to acclaim in 2005, The Glass Castle recounts Walls’ and her siblings’ troublesome, poverty-stricken childhood at the beck and call of their intensely flawed and abusive parents, Rex and Rose Mary. Marti Noxon, best known for her work on Buffy [...]
You may have already heard the rumours, or may of even speculated this yourself, but this week sees the confirmation that director of The Hunger Games, Gary Ross, will not direct the film’s sequel. Due to be released in November 2013, Catching Fire is the second in a trilogy of novels written by Suzanne Collins [...]
It’s official: The Hunger Games has opened with the strongest box office of 2012 so far, and one of the biggest openings of all time, taking more than $150m. in North America alone. On Friday, we heard that its midnight run across the Atlantictook a record-breaking $19.75m., the highest ever take from a non-sequel ever. [...]
This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone: The Hunger Games is setting the box office alight. And it has got off to an exceptional, record-breaking start. Lionsgate have done a great job of promoting Gary Ross’ adaptation of the first of Suzanne Collins’ trilogy of novels, and it looks to be paying off in [...]
Earlier today we published the first part of our interview with Elizabeth Banks and Liam Hemsworth for The Hunger Games. In what may be the last piece of Hunger Games coverage we publish for a while (although we doubt it), the second part of the interview covers the enjoyment they got from working with Woody [...]
After months of waiting, today finally sees the release of The Hunger Games, and as the tributes line up to enter the arena*, the sense of anticipation among both fans, and the film industry couldn’t be higher. Over the last few weeks we’ve brought you coverage from the red carpet, interviews with Lenny Kravitz, Josh [...]
We really were spoiled for choice last week. Three or four major releases of varying quality hit the multiplexes with 21 Jump Street the clear success story and The Devil Inside the proverbial turd in the punchbowl. Unfortunately it’s another week of slim pickings this time out as the one major release of the week [...]
The Hunger Games hits UK & US cinemas tomorrow and it’s been a long time coming. 8 or 9 months ago, I got my first glimpse of The Hunger Games at a junket for Abduction where someone told me it was going to be big. Well, it seems they were completely right as pre-order tickets [...]
2012 is shaping up to be the year of the Games. Between the Olympics, a greatly anticipated second season of Game of Thrones and not to mention loud 3D promises from various blockbuster must-sees, The Hunger Games has some real opponents to contend with. Due to be thrown into the ring March 23rd, the first [...]
With Lionsgate’s adaptation of The Hunger Games finally getting its release this Friday – or Thursday if you’re catching an advanced preview – we’re into our final stretch of what has been an impressive promotional campaign. And just ahead of its release this weekend, we now have a new clip to share with you, featuring [...]
After what seems like forever, the release of The Hunger Games is fast approaching. At HeyUGuys we’re big fans of the books, and we loved the film. Recently I did my very best Cesar Flickerman impression (sadly sans blue hair and shiny suit, and spoke to Peeta Mellark himself, Josh Hutcherson about his love of [...]
In the lead up to its release, The Hunger Games has been compared to the Potter franchise, Twilight, Battle Royale and even The Running Man. It’s understandable. It’s standard practice when writing about movies to use the “it’s a bit like ‘this’ meets ‘that’” shorthand to describe something new. The problem with The Hunger Games [...]
Earlier today we published our brief interviews with Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutchinson at last night’s Hunger Games premiere. During the evening we also managed to have a much longer chat with the film’s producer Nina Jacobson. With pundits and experts alike predicting a massive opening for the film – possibly in the $150 million [...]
Last night was the UK premiere of The Hunger Games, and if you happened to be within about a mile of the O2 while the cast were walking the red carpet, your ears are probably still ringing. To describe the fanbase as rabid might be a little mean, but they’re certainly an excitable lot. During [...]
It’s almost time for the tagline of this movie to become reality as The Hunger Games nears its release. Following in the footsteps of the Potter and Twilight series the books by Suzanne Collins beg for the phrase ‘literary sensation’ to be wheeled out and like its bookbusting brethren there are high hopes for the [...]
Two weeks ago, the first tracking numbers surfaced for Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games, Gary Ross’ adaptation of the first novel in Suzanne Collins’ original trilogy. What they showed were very impressive, suggesting figures close to $70m. in its opening weekend in the US were possible, if not probable, which would put it past the first [...]
Mere days separate us from the waiting world from The Hunger Games and you can expect the final spluttering of clips and promos to fizz in our general direction. One such spurt has reached us this morning and it’s another decent tease from the film, one which continues the trend of showing only the build [...]
Just yesterday, we got a fantastic new look at The Hunger Games that took us behind the scenes with interviews of the leading cast, including Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, and the awesome Wes Bentley. With just eleven days left until Lionsgate release Gary Ross’ adaptation of the [...]
