- The Hunger Games is a 2012 American science fiction adventure film directed by Gary Ross, based on the novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. It is the first installment in The Hunger Games film series. The film was produced by Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik, with a screenplay by Ross, Collins, and Billy Ray.

The story takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future in the nation of Panem, where Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) volunteers to take part in the games. Joined by her district's male tribute Peeta Mellark (Hutcherson), Katniss travels to the Capitol to train for the Hunger Games under the guidance of former victor Haymitch Abernathy (Harrelson). Development of The Hunger Games began in March 2009 when Lions Gate Entertainment entered into a co-production agreement with Color Force, which had acquired the rights a few weeks earlier. Collins collaborated with Ray and Ross to write the screenplay. The screenplay expanded the character of Seneca Crane to allow several developments to be shown directly to the audience and Ross added several scenes between Crane and Coriolanus Snow. The main characters were cast between March and May 2011. Principal photography began in May 2011 and ended in September 2011, and filming took place in North Carolina. The Hunger Games was shot entirely on film as opposed to digital. The film was released on March 21, 2012, in France and in the US on March 23, 2012, in both conventional theaters and digital IMAX theaters. Japan received it last, on September 28.

- After the Games:A Hunger Games Story It took awhile but I finally got myself out of bed when I heard a knock at the door. I opened it and was about to shut it. My fears have caught up with me the person i dreaded most...Peeta. "Can I come in?" He said. "Why?" I asked. "Katniss for God's sake you can't just lock yourself in your house!" He said angrily. "Well Too bad, go away". "Katniss please". I begin to feel hot tears in my eyes roll down my cheeks and I don't even know why. "Leave,go,I don't want to talk to you!". I scream at him. He turns around and I shut the front door and lock it. I slide down the back off the door. I wake again and hear pounding on my door since I'm too lazy to get up and walk I crawl to the door. "Sweetheart we need to talk". I knew it was Haymich. "Did he ask you to come talk to me?" "No I heard you yelling at him earlier". There's another knock on the door so I get up and walk to see who it is and surpise surpise. "Let me in Katniss". "Didn't you get the message,I don't want to talk to you". "Katniss and Peeta both of you come here right now!". I hear Haymich yell. "You can't treat me like a child". Peeta yells back. I walk back to where I sat. Peeta sits in the chair across from me. I remeber the boy that would never leave me alone or scream at me unless he was badly hurt and the scream has a painful one not a rude one. I remember last week when he yelled at me cuss words spilled out of his mouth at me and that was enough to make me run and hide and I hadn't talked to him until this morning. "You two talk right now,tell each other that your sorry now". "What if I dont want to?" I say. Haymich looks at me and then looks at Peeta then sighs. "Katniss knock it off what happened any way,I'm not stupid I can tell when you two have been together". I look at the floor then slap the coffee table in front of me. "Your worthless you know that!". I scream at Peeta. He stands up and cusses at me again. I stand up as well. "You jerk I hate you". Now it's Haymich's turn to stand. "Both of you knock it off now I'm sick of seeing you yell at each other!". I begin to cry again tears rolling down my cheeks and Haymich looks at me. I run to the kitchen and grab a gaint knife out of the knife block and walk back into the living room. I piont the knife at Haymich then at Peeta. "No I'm done taking orders from you and I'm done pretending to not be afraid that you'll kill me at any time you get alone with me". Peeta looks at me and takes a step towards me I back up a little. "Katniss put the knife down it's fine I won't hurt you". I Laugh and glare at him through my tears. "Oh Katniss it's going to be ok I'm not going to hurt you I would never hurt you". I say mocking his tone. Haymich walks towards me and tells me to give him the knife. I look at the knife and then at Peeta and back up away from Haymich and sprint at Peeta with the knife ready to stab him when Haymich grabs me around the waist really tight. "Let go of me!". I scream. Peeta grabs the knife out of my hand and throws it across the room. I scream louder than ever and Haymich lets me go and I sink to the floor and curl up in a ball and cry as hard as possible. I wish my mother was here to tell them to leave and never come back but she isn't she's probably crying her eyes out wishing that my father and Prim were still alive after all she left me to live alone and helpless. Haymich leaves and slams the door behind him leaving Peeta with me. He gets down on his knees and looks at me then says "Katniss I'm taking you up to your room". "No!" I scream. He picks me up and I kick and scream and try to bite him but he won't put me down. He carries me upstairs and lays me in my bed. "Katniss?". "Leave". "No".I hear him get into bed next to me and when I'm about to roll off onto the floor he puts his arm around me. I wake up and roll onto my side and bump into something. It opens it's eyes and his pretty blue eyes look like the ones he looked at me with before everything in my life was screwed up read my expression. He smiles one of his beautiful smiles. "Morning". I'm scared because I don't remeber what happened last night and jump out of bed andrun down stairs. He follows behind me and at the bottom of the stairs he grabs me and kisses me. Hmm sweet like sugar almost but not entirely. How old was I 16 no wait it was October 17. I pull away for breath and get pulled back into the kiss.

The Hunger Games received positive reviews, with praise for its themes and messages, as well as Jennifer Lawrence's portrayal of Katniss. Like the novel, the film has attracted criticism for its similarities to other works, such as the Japanese novel Battle Royale, its film adaptation, and the Shirley Jackson short story "The Lottery." Collins' novel and screenplay drew on sources of inspiration such as the myth of Theseus, Roman gladiatorial games, reality television, and the desensitization of viewers to media coverage of real-life tragedy and war, not to think as just an audience member, "Because those are real people on the screen, and they’re not going away when the commercials start to roll." The song "Safe & Sound" won a Grammy Award and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. For her performance, Lawrence won the Saturn Award for Best Actress, the Broadcast Film Critics Association Award for Best Actress in a Action Movie, the Empire Award for Best Actress and was also nominated for the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actress.

- Announcer: And now it's time for "Bum Reviews" with Chester A. Bum. Tonight's review: "The Hunger Games." Chester: OH MY GOD, this is the greatest movie I've ever seen in my life! (He unfolds a piece of paper and flips it, showing it says "SPOILERS") Spoilers! There's this girl who-- What a minute, this is the review of "The Hunger Games," right? Let's do it right! (Camera starts shaking for duration of review) That's more like it! There's this girl who has a sister who's gonna be thrown into the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games? That's what I play every day! But then her sister Cat Piss is like, "I volunteer in her place!" "Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?" "Hunger Games is a cooking show, right?" "No, it's a tournament where children kill children." "Should I leave my spatula then?" "Get in there!" So Cat Piss comes across this boy who was also chosen. And the boy is like, "Would it be bad if I said I had the hots for you?" "Yes." "Well, I'm gonna die in a few days, so girl you fine!" (gets slapped) "So worth it!" (gets slapped again) So the Hunger Games is sort of like American Idol. Except they're killing people instead of killing your brain cells. And they're given a mentor played by Woody Harrelson! "I'm drunk, you're dead, we have nothin' to discuss." "You're a jerk!" "I like you." So Woody Harrelson teaches them how to be good celebrities. Hey, here's a good start: Make Zombieland 2! But then, when the actual Hunger Games start, everybody in the audience was just getting sick. Oh, not because of the goriness of children killing children, but because the camera was shaking so much! (Makes fighting noises while the camera shakes wildly) Did I mention I saw this on IMAX? Big mistake! So a bunch of the kids get together and form an alliance. "Dude, we're totally gonna kill each other later!" "Yeaahhh!" "Which is why I'm becoming good friends with you!" "Yeaahhh!" "I suppose I could do something smart like slit your throats in the middle of the night while you sleep!" "Yeaahhh!" "No, really, I'm gonna slit your throat in the middle of the night while you sleep." "Yeaahhh! This game is awesome!" "I think it's starting to sink in just how barbaric this all is." "It's okay! Just imagine you watched 'Transformers 3' and all hope of caring for your fellow man will disappear and will be replaced with testosterone-filled mindlessness!" (pauses) "Alright!" "Yeaahhh!" So the boy that really liked Cat Piss joins their alliance. And Cat Piss is like, "Why are you chasing me up a tree?" "It's okay. I'm saving your life by joining their alliance!" "Don't they know better than to trust the boy who clearly announced to the world that he loves me?" "Well, they just watched 'Transformers 3', so..." "Ohh." "Yeah." But this little girl named Rue starts to help Cat Piss out. And Cat Piss is like, "Aren't you the most adorable thing?" "I'm dead, aren't I?" "Yes you are." (dies) And all the world is upset that Rue is dead! After all these years of watching kids constantly get killed, we've finally had enough! True, it's taken the 12,000th kid to make it happen, but ohh, now we're angry! So some of the districts start rising up and getting really mad. So the Hunger Games are like, (through mic) "Okay, it's totally cool if two of you win instead of one." "Could he possibly mean me and the blond boy?" "Especially Cat Piss and the blond boy." "Cool! Hey, blond boy, let's kill that one jerk-off who's still around!" "Okay. There he is!" (kills guy) "Hooray! Now you have to let us go." "We suddenly changed our minds again. Kill each other." "What?!" "Wild card!" "Screw that! We're gonna eat these poisonous berries so that way you will have no winner!" (goes to eat) "Wait!" (stops, long pause) "...You passed the 'eating poisonous berries thus totally screwing us over' test. You win." "Hooray!" "Yeah, hooray, I'm so dead." So the Hunger Games seem to be over, and Cat Piss and the blond boy go home. But the guy in charge of everything is like, "I'm gonna go find a sequel!" (He walks off...and runs into the wall) "Ow." The End! I have to say, this movie was a really exciting movie. I never knew killing children could be such an exciting sport! It's sort of like the game I invented called Rat Fighting! A bunch of rats fight each other, and the winner doesn't get eaten by me. There is yet to be a winner. This is Chester A. Bum saying CHANGE?! Ya got change! Aw c'mon, help a guy out, will ya?! C'mon, change! C'mon, I'll help make the next movie! Hey, if a bunch of people decide not to make the film, does that make it a hunger strike?
