The Hunger Games is starting to look pretty sexy

The Hunger Games is starting to look pretty sexy photo



And not in a good way, to boot. These are the first stills from The Hunger Games that really showcase the two main men of the piece, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Gale (Liam Hemsworth). They form the dude parts of the Eiffel Tower-esque love triangle that pervades the film, with Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss as the one that has to GASP! make a choice between the two men she cares most for.

I'm a fan of the books, but I'm really not feeling these. I appreciate how run-down and overgrown everything is. That's fairly accurate to the film's opening in District 12, the poorest district of the future dystopia the film is set in. Other than Gale (the brown-haired one) looking a bit ragged in the first publicity shot, everyone just looks so put together. The clothes look like some kind of designer thing, and everyone's got their hair done up just so. This is a place where people are starving to death. It doesn't even look like anyone pictures so far has so much as skipped breakfast this morning, let alone lived in squalor all their lives. I want to like this movie, but I've not got a lot to go on, so far.

Spy the pictures in the gallery below. What do you guys think of The Hunger Games so far, judging from what limited material we have of it?

LOOK HOW WRINKLED EVERYTHING IS THOUGH.

ALSO GALE HUNTS AND PEETA CARBOLOADS ON BREAD AT THE BAKERY.

GOD.
NERD RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm at the 2nd part of book two now. The Hunger Games is a good little read; it's gritty, violent, never boring, and has a great setting, but the film.... Ugh, I need to control myself. I read the first book last month for my Children's Lit class. We actually had a discussion on how the film adaptation would have to be rated R to resemble the grittiness of the book, but we all agreed how that's not going to happen. Damn it! Everyone is too pretty!! Katniss is suppose to be dirty and tough - she uses her sexuality, but that's later on. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

On a different topic, I saw the Harry Potter film and it was amazing - it was dark and pretty violent, it really surprised me. The epilogue, on the other hand, is horrible! My theater erupted with laughter.
It looks like the cast for a Twilight movie.

Everyone reading this comment, please, go read the book, it's a nice little read and nothing like what Hollywood is tying to do. Well, judging from the pics - the book is very violent and gritty and these actors look too old. Katniss is suppose to be 15 or 16? That girl looks at least 34!!!
They look waaaaaay too clean and put-together. The shot of Peeta outside the bakery is nice, but that's about it. Ughhhh don't ruin this series, movies! It's so good!
Some commenter elsewhere said they look like teenaged cosplayers of Jack and Locke from Lost. Can't be unseen.

New World War Z poster isn't even trying anymore

World War Z with Brad Pitt is pretty much DOA. We know, for instance, that the bloated, unfaithful, neutered (it's a bloodless PG-13) adaptation of the Max Brooks book will need to make $400 million just to break even, and th...

Sam Neill thinks Jurassic Park 4 is a franchise reboot

The last we heard about Jurassic Park 4, the production had been delayed indefinitely. It was odd and abrupt, especially since the script was in place and Colin Trevorrow (Safety Not Guaranteed) was all set to direct. Sam Nei...
