By the time they start filming Mockingjay Part 2 (summer-fall 2014) I will be old enough to travel to the set and maybe be an extra on the film! *fingers crossed*

Ani

How old do you have to be?? maybe we could be extras together

Lill

I’m not that sure if this is a good idea.
Steven Walker

I understand that there is a lot of book and so little time for the movies, but I still don’t think splitting the movie up is a good idea! The only possible, natural split would be when Katniss decides to go to District 2 to help. I don’t believe that there is a strong enough plot in the first part to make a movie of. What would it be? Becoming the Mockingjay? Rescuing Peeta? Getting comfortable in District 13? What would the climax be?

The reason I’m excited for the split is they’ll be able to show large parts of the war outside of Katniss’s POV.
lbrooksync

I think they could split it when Peeta tries to strangle Katniss, that is a very cliffhanger moment

Natalie

That’s what I was thinking. It would be a good part to leave everyone wanting more.

Abbey

that wut i was thinkin omg soooo excited i feel like crying (yeah i know im obsessed nd crazy)

S0phiaxoxoPEETA

thatz wat i was thinkin too but then i would say the moviw would be quite boring cuz all katniss does is cry over peeta ik like who wouldnt its Peeta?!?!i guess ummm… idk????????maybe theylll put all the detalis and maybe that is wat is gonna make the movie awsommme……..who knows aaaa now im thinkin about wen they tourture PEETA aaaaa poor peeta i love him maybe thats wat theyll doo detail it there??????????who knows for right we should just focus on catching fire AAAA cant wait for that one
Abbey

YES! That would be fantastic if they ended part 1 like that!!

thependragons<3

I understand what you are saying. I also wonder the same thing

Rue

Me too…

Ani

They could also add parts that weren’t in the book… but make them similar to what would happen in the book
cc rienna

a dide with some sanity
I´m Katniss, Peeta kiss me ;)

You know I think they´ll split it when Peeta tries to strangle Katniss, that is a very cliffhanger moment and it´ll give excitment and everyone will be like WTF happened to peeta??!! that is what they want…

S0phiaxoxoPEETA

uggg i cant wait that long CALMdown OK NOW IM BREATHING im jst telling myself its gonna go by fast and i know that but at the moment its to far but they are just spliting them to make more money but its gonna be worth it once i see PEETA on the screen!?!?!XD right!!!!!!!!!!!!!xoxoxo

Rue

Calm down, take deep breaths. If you try not to think about it, the time will pass way quicker than if you did think about the movies. Thats what i did for the first movie. Trust me, it works.

S0phiaxoxoPEETA

hahaha thxz

mwhahahahahahaha

it’s just peeta…. what’s there to be excited about?

Teampeeta

What is your problem? He is amazing DUH

Seanybadger

Team peeta? oh dear lord, it’s been twilighted. Leave twilight thing with twilight, don’t bring teams into this.

I´m Katniss, Peeta kiss me ;)

YEAHH!!!! I die for peeta/Josh he is the best ever!!! xxx

thependragons<3

soo excited
SamM

HOLY CRAP I’LL BE JUNIOR WHEN THE LAST MOVIE COMES OUT o.o

SamM

**a junior

Rue

**in 7th grade

Rue

i will be…… 13!!! O.O

Jakory

Ill be a senior.

Volumnia

oh my god, i’ll be in college by the time mockingjay part 2 comes out *le cries*

I´m Katniss, Peeta kiss me ;)

i agree

PeetaForEvuh!

I know it’s just like Harry Potter and Twilight, but so what? There is A LOT of info and events going on in Mockingjay, It’s just so many details and so many things to put into just one movie. I think it’s a great idea (:

Rue

no offense, but i dont like Twilight all that much….

Rue

I HATE Twilight, no offense Twilight lovers!

Abbey

Twilight is okay but I HATE THAT PEOPLE WHO COMPARE IT TO THG!! and Bella to Katniss because what does Bella do? Nothing! What does Katniss do? survives two terrible games, fights starvation and heaps of other stuff

I´m Katniss, Peeta kiss me ;)

Sicerly talking Bella cries because she doesnt want to hurt nor edward neither jacob, while katniss fights and protects what she cares about….. so Bella is like useless… *NO OFENSE; MY OPINION

Katniss4Ever123

People here have got a point the first part won’t be that exciting… But they’ll probably add in really good information that wasn’t in the book. I don’t want them to change the whole thing beyond recongnition but I think it would be good for them to add other bits in to really put everything in perspective. I also hope that because Mockingjay is being split into 2 parts, it won’t be like a summary of the book, like I thought the first movie was. I hope they don’t miss out any memorable quotes, like they did with the first movie eg “who can’t lie Peeta” and “Survive”. Again I hope they don’t miss out small but funny or interesting scenes and features, like they did in the first movie eg they missed out the scene with the sleeping syrup and the fact that the mutts were made to be like the dead tributes. Anyway, I’m glad they released the dates i’ve already got them set in my calender.

I´m Katniss, Peeta kiss me ;)

i agree

Liza

I’d rather wait for the second one to come out than them feel pushed and not exaggerate every detail possible!
christina

im not sure i want them to wspilt up the last movie…
MOCKINGJAY_00

Yeah i agree with u guys.. splitting the movie is kinda good and kinda not so good… i mean may as well have it spilt and not crammed into one.. but then again no ones gonna have the patience to wait for part 2..!! AHH.. i cant wait!!! AND, i love peeta and all.. but im kinda hoping they show the torturing scene.. :S
TeamPeeta

they should split the movie up when they find out that peeta is apart of the team, perfect timing, you see peeta walking and the last thing you see is katniss’s face
also I am soooo happy because my birthday is in November the 22nd so I have part of my birthday planned out for the next few years which is good!!!!!!!!
Rue

This is just my opinion, but i think that splitting Mockingjay into 2 parts would be a real hassle, because they have to know where to end the first part, start the second part…. you know?
microgal56

I think this is where Hollywood is going movies. They tried it with the last Harry Potter and made gobs of money; now they’re doing it with Breaking Dawn and (apparently) Mockingjay. My biggest complaints: 1) TONS of people sat through Titanic, which is easily 3 1/2 hours in one shot – why wouldn’t anyone think we’d sit through 3+ hours of any of the books-turned-to-movies? 2) Why are movie studios waiting ONE YEAR between parts 1 & 2??? Six-seven months seems to be ideal – release part 1 in November, part 2 in June (when kids are out of school). The DVD will be released before part 2 comes out (which everyone will buy so they can get caught up), so they’ll still be making their precious money, and the fans won’t have to wait a year to see the conclusion

i<3tswizzle13:)

So true. A year is wayyyyyyyyyy too long of a wait between part one and two.
jennjoefowler11

i would sit all day for it…wayy too long if they make it a cliff hanger movie :/

Jakory

Giving a year between movies gives them time to shoot and edit it. If they dont take the time they need to make the movie, itll turn out shizzy and no one will want to see it.

Pappin

The answer is they want to make gobs of money at our expense. Titanic would have made twice as much money if everyone had to pay 2x to see it. Not sure if they would have gone for it. It is easier after you’ve sat through 2 movies to feel you have to see it finished and so we shell out the extra. Even the books are written now to drag these things on. Harry Potter could have easily been a much smaller book and only one movie. Lots of repetition in that one.

Rue

i have to agree with you, microgal56. it is a shame they are splitting up Mockingjay.
also, no offense Twilight lovers out there, but i HATE Twilight series. I haven’t seen Titanic, though i want to SO bad! :O and i am only 12 years old!

Alex

Hi five I’m 11 years old and i HATE Twilight too. I mean yeah yeah vampires and falling in love. But there are so many of those movies out there! There is no other movie like The Hunger Games it’s so original but dozens of vampires aren’t very original. ok so maybe the falling in love one is in almost every movie but what you read or see in The Hunger Games is that the plot isn’t like any other stories or books.
Jazel

If you didn’t like the Twilight series or maybe just didn’t understand/couldn’t relate to a lot of it; you may not care for Titanic. No offense, but you may be just a little young. Don’t take offense, I wish I was young again. LOL. Enjoy your youth while you’re able; it’ll be gone in a blink of your eye! I loved the Twilight series books, the movies were just OK.

teampeeta

i don’t think splitting mockingjay into two movies is a good idea there is nowhere to split it unless you split it when she gets peeta back [oos, sorry for spoiling]
teampeeta

i don’t think they should split it into two parts
Katniss

There is no need to split this one. Stop that trend. Just make it longer. Mockingjay is not longer than the two previous books, and not nearly as long as the HP or Breaking Dawn book. There was a lot that was boring in Mockingjay.

omg, NOVEMBER 2013 for catching fire?? i dont wanna wait that long. i thought it would releases around the same time with the hunger games movie >>tearsss<<

Rue

when they release the movie, Mockingjay, i will be 13 years old! ha!! XD
Abbey

catching fire trailer comes out on 14th April 2013 i think so if it does im going to record it and watch it over and over again.

Alex

No it doesn’t it comes out in NOVEMBER 23 2013 not APRIL jeez really where do you get all this information.

Bree

I think that they should split it when Peeta warns Katniss that the Capitol is going to bomb 13 and everyone goes insane on film and his blood splatters the camera. People would be falling out of their seats if they didn’t read the book. But that might be too short of an end because it is only about one-third of the way through the book. They could end it where Katniss goes to two, or when she gets shot at the end of chapter 15

I support the split of the book because it gives extra time for extra detail. Yes the book can be boring for some people at certain points in the book, but it will allow them to put more details. I personally think that The Hunger Games should have been 2 movies because they missed so much.

But anyways, I’ll be up to Katniss’ age when Mockingjay Part 1 comes out! All of the movies are coming out around my B-Day! (November 27th) I’m hoping I can be an extra in one of the films…
confused

y is everything years apart
carl armstrong

great idea.These 4 excellent movies could well be a preview of actual events that could someday take place.
Katie

I want to know why there is 2 years for Catching Fire. When Mockingjay is soo much more action packed. But, then again the movie is split in half………..
DM

I just hope that the second and third movie will be better than the first movie!!!! They left so much out of the first movie because they didn’t think it would be as big as it was! I hope that they don’t disappoint us!!!!!!
katniss1234

AT first i thought this was weird butnow im kind of excited because now the series wont be over as soon i never want it to end!!!
cc rienna

really wat about making moking jay longer like 4 parts or something!!!!!!! its too goood to just end like that
lalalalala

noooo why do we have to wait sooo long!!!
vicky4peeta

370 days untill catching fire!!!! cant wait!!!
Em

If they gonna split the movies they should’t wait a whole year between the first and second part..
Galen

This is not true.

Alex

wow….. you don’t read the articles do you? i bet you don’t but it’s true i’ve read it EVERYWHERE i could eg. magazines, blogs, etc.

George

I hope they go more details on the end for Katniss and Peetas relationship and children.
keepthemguessing

split them all up lol
Seanybadger

Expected that. Will be good (hopefully) and with that may our odd be ever in our favour.
Emmah

I am ten and don’t think spliting up the book to make a movie is a good idea

Rue

11 and right there with you, Emmah!

Emmah

I am ten and think that hte movie releasw dates are too far apart!Most people will lose interest over that period of time

Abbey

but if they are true tributes (THG fans) they won’t loose interest btw in part 2 i really hope they name their two kids

Alex

OMG! That’s what i was thinking, about the kids. My friend read mokingjay before me and she didn’t read the epilouge or whatever its called and i did so when i told her “i hope in the movie they name their kids” and shes like “They have kids???” and im like “yeah see this is what happens when you don’t read the extra stuff.” then she asks “There’s going to be more movies??” and then i started yelling at her…

vannahgirl012

spliting a movie?? that will not be a huge succes because people got upset and agitated when breaking dawn was seprerated and released much more later than the first part right?? well then it is not a good idea to seperate the movie besides what if u have to seperate on the best part?? then it will bug people that it is seperated on the best part………
http://www.facebook.com/winnie.chen.9277 Winnie Chen

I dont think thats a good idea because after people saw the hunger games they had been waiting to know what happens next, so when mockingjay splits into two part films, people would get fustrated. When they saw the first part they are willing to see the second part so i think that Catching fire should be a whole movie and mockingjay should be a whole movie too. And i also know that when making a movie, you cant rush but i just hoped that you guys can finish the movie faster.
I´m Katniss, Peeta kiss me ;)

280 DAYS??!! i cant wait any longer!!!
Jezabeth

Please keep the same characters. That’s all I ask. Please keep them
THG FanGirl

dear lionsgate,
I dont like waiting
HG

agreed it sound like a really bad idea to split the movie up and a year between the 2 of them is just silly like I reckon 3moths would be heaps already!!! (or just not split it up at all!)
Lilian

Whoa!2015???
Shaza

What more could you want is that a retorical question or what I want them all NOW!!!!!!!!
Shaza

If people really want to compare twilight to THG then compare gale and Bella they r both main caracters but don’t do much then compare Edward or Jacob with katniss they are the accual main caracters that the good things happen to
Judy

I think this is insane. The only moment to separate the two movie is after Peeta is rescued and Katniss goes t see him. But if they do it like that I will be passed off because that moment is so cute. You should out them together and make one big, great and fabulous end to the Hunger Games.
