With Harry Potter over (sad day) and the last Twilight movie approaching (who cares?) critics say this is destined to be the new movie fan craze. Can't say that I blame them - the story lines are fantastic.
Jennifer Lawrence is playing Katniss. The only thing I've really seen her in is Bill Engvall's comedy series, but I know she will be great! Here's another promo shot:
So I guess this means I'm going to have to start re-reading the series so I can be fully prepared for the movies! Usually, I'm not really big on books being made into movies (like the first few Harry Potter's) but the more advanced technology gets, the more lifelike and creative the movies are.
So many books are being made into movies now -- I'm actually watching the Pillars of the Earth mini-series this week on Reelz. The book is by Ken Follett. The series is really good, but it makes a lot more sense for someone who has read the book.
If you haven't, it is about a mason who has dreams to build a cathedral in England -- and it's about the politics, romance, architecture, and overall drama that happens during the building of the Cathedral. Like I said, they've done a great job with the mini-series, but of course the character profiles are more pronounced in the book, and the whole premise of the book is the relationships between all of the characters. The book is great if you like architecture and history. I'm really into historical fiction right now and Ken Follett is a fantastic historical fiction writer. I just finished his sequel to Pillars of the Earth and his new-ish book, and the first of another series, called "Fall of Giants." But more on that later!
