The Hunger Games casting info...

Well, It's official, Jennifer Lawrence has been cast as Katniss Everdeen the heroin we all fell in love with in the excellent trilogy by Suzanne Collins.


As per Mockingjay.net :

LOS ANGELES, CA, March 17, 2011- Lionsgate and the filmmakers of “The Hunger Games” are pleased to announce that Academy Award® nominated actress Jennifer Lawrence will assume the coveted role of Katniss Everdeen in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ “The Hunger Games.”
The film will be directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force. Collins’ best-selling novel, which has over 3 million copies in print in the United States alone, is the first in a trilogy of science fiction/action novels which have developed a global following. Lionsgate will release “The Hunger Games” on March 23, 2012.
Newcomer Lawrence’s meteoric ascent began in earnest with her breakout role in last year’s “Winter’s Bone,” and culminated in an Academy Award nomination. This summer, Lawrence will star in Matthew Vaughn’s “X Men: First Class” and in “The Beaver” directed by Jodie Foster. Later this year, she co-stars in the Sundance Grand Jury winner “Like Crazy”.
Author Suzanne Collins weighed in on the selection of Lawrence, “Jennifer’s just an incredible actress. So powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, unforgiving and brave. I never thought we’d find somebody this perfect for the role. And I can’t wait for everyone to see her play it.”
“I’m so excited work with Jen and see her bring this character to life. Katniss requires a young actress with strength, depth, complexity, tenderness, and power. There are very few people alive who can bring that to a role. Jen brings it in spades. She’s going to be an amazing Katniss.” said director Gary Ross.

We are both a little upset with the news, we weren't voting for her as Katniss, but if Suzanne says she's perfect, I guess she knows what's right, unless she was just being nice. The only way I will be okay with this decision is if they choose a remarkable Peeta (Hunter Parrish pleaseeee). Time will tell.

For Percy Jackson Fans...

The sequel to Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief will be a film! The sequel, with the same title of the book: The Sea Of Monsters, is in development. Logan Lerman, Alexandra Dadarrio, and Jake Abel signed up for three movies. So we can expect at least two more Percy Jackson movies! I for one love love loved the movie and enjoyed the book..I hope this sees through, I would definitely go see it!


Percy is anticipating the end of seventh grade and a summer at Camp Half-Blood with kids who are the offspring of Greek gods and mortals. He dreams that his pal Grover, a satyr, is in danger. After monsters attack in his school gym class, Percy and Tyson, a homeless kid, are picked up by Annabeth, a half-blood friend, and rushed to the camp, which is under attack. The tree that guards the camp is dying, and Chiron, the activity director, has been dismissed. Another dream reveals that Grover, whose peril is increasing, is on the same island as the legendary Golden Fleece, which may be the cure for the troubled camp. With the help of Hermes, Percy and his pals set off to the Sea of Monsters, where they encounter legendary dangers.

I Am Number Four Movie Review

I went to see I Am Number Four on Friday because I really loved the book. I figured that since the rights to the movie were purchased even before the book was out that they wouldn't change it too much for the movie right?...Wrong. The movie starts off right away being incorrect such as: John taking pictures and hanging out having a good time. Those of you who have read the book know that Henri says no pictures, ever, for any reason. Now I know that you can't keep 100% accurate and true to the books, because then we would be sitting in the theatre for a long time getting every detail from the book into the movie. I for one have no problem with this, as a book lover, I would MUCH rather see my favorite books word for word, scene by scene, fact by fact on the big screen. I would gladly take the long hours in the movies rather than the shorter time and seeing my book get butchered. There were so many things in the movie that they changed from the book that didn't even HAVE to be changed. Like Sam's glasses for instance, he didn't wear them in the book AT ALL. He didn't wear his NASA shirts which were a vital part of the book. And the hayride where Mark decided to beat up on John, Sara, Sara's friend and Sam? Sam wasn't on the ride in the movie, and it wasn't set in October as a Halloween fair, it was a spring fair. Would it really have been such a big deal to make it a Halloween fair? I just really think that there were things that had no reason to be changed. If I had watched the movie just going in thinking it was a movie I would be impressed by it, but since I read the book, I was too caught up in how the book was changed to enjoy it as a movie. Which is sad. The box that is so important to John and Henri hardly plays a role in the movie, and the story of John's legacies and his visions from Lorien are terribly understated or non-existant. There were really so many things that were left out, changed, underplayed, that I could go on typing here for a very long time and this blog would take up the whole site. So, I'll leave it at that, and tell you to check out the movie and see for yourselves. I would still recommend you to see it, because as a movie in itself it is good, but as a book turned movie....not so much.
