Lionsgate Takes Rights to Hunger Games

Lionsgate has acquired worldwide distribution rights to the film version of Suzanne Collins' best selling futuristic young adult novel "The Hunger Games."

Set against the backdrop of a dystopic Capitol, twelve subjugated districts must pay tribute in the form of a teenage boy and girl who are forced to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV. When Katniss Everdeen's little sister is chosen in the lottery, Katniss volunteers to take her place. Although persevering through hardship is commonplace for Katniss, she must start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love in order to win the games and return home.

Collins will adapt the screenplay from her novel, the first in a trilogy. Nina Jacobson is producing through her Color Force shingle.

"The Hunger Games" was published by Scholastic last year. The trilogy's eagerly anticipated second installment, "Catching Fire," is due out September 1st.

The Hunger Games is by far the best book I have ever read. It is filled with suspence, action, and a little bit of romance somewhere in there too. The whole idea behind the book is truly what captured me. I really cannot wait for the movie, and,knowing the book, inside and out, there is definitaly no possible way that the movie can possibly be bad. In the words of Effie Trinket, "Happy Hunger Games!"
