The Hunger Games: A Trilogy in Four Parts

Shelf Awareness


Deadline.com reported that Lionsgate "has been carefully observing predecessors who squeezed an extra film out of a book franchise," and even though the notion "isn't set in stone" yet, the film company seems to be planning to make four movies from Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy.

Mockingjay, the last novel in the series, would be split in half because it is "logistically ambitious and can be scaled up comfortably to cover two films. I believe that Gary Ross and Collins have done rewrites and already figured out how to create a satisfying ending to the third film," Deadline.com wrote.

The story was engrossing- didn't put it down for 3 days and finished the trilogy... but it was very violent, children graphically killing other children, and generally amoral - you find yourself cheering for a heroine who kills civilian refugees without thinking, who becomes nonchalant about murder and unfeeling about deaths of people she doesn't personally know.
