Hunger Games Will Be Four Films

"We have just contacted Lionsgate, the studio behind the upcoming adaptation of The Hunger Games, and they have confirmed that Suzanne Collins’ trilogy of novels will be broken into four movies. We have no further details on how the novels will be divided, but judging by the recent splits to the final chapters of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, it might be safe to assume that the final book in the series, Mockingjay, will be broken into two parts. While breaking books into multiple movies is certainly an attempt to rake in more cash, it’s also prolongs the magic a little bit longer for fans. While I had heavily chastised Warner Bros’ decision to break Deathly Hallows into two movies, I had to admit that after I saw Part 1 last November, I was grateful that there was a little more Harry Potter in the not-too-distant future. That being said, when it comes to Mockingjay, I’ve heard it’s the weakest in the Hunger Games trilogy.

The first film, The Hunger Games, stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Wes Bentley, Stanley Tucci, Toby Jones, Donald Sutherland, and Woody Harrelson. It will hit theaters on March 23, 2012."

I haven't seen what they're going to do, or how good the cast is together so I don't want to judge too harshly... but I can't help but think it's for the money, not the magic.

I can't say that came as a big shock.
By the way, are there any members here.

by what i have read i think the third book will be broken because in my opinion it's the longest
the first movie was interesting to see and by reading the second i think it will be great if made perfectly
