Apparently There's Going To Be Another Hunger Games Film & Book

There I was just scrolling through twitter like a good lad when something caught my attention, "Could it be?" I thought to myself. I clicked on the article which laid before my very eyes and it was true, we are about to get another addition to The Hunger Games franchise!

A little background with my love for the series, I grew up at the right time when this was popular. I read the books before the movies came out. I was an instant fan. The series introduced me to the post apocalyptic genre of literature. I have since gone on to read other books in the genre, but The Hunger Games will always hold a special place in my heart for introducing me to it. I was probably in sixth grade when I first picked up the book, I might be a year off, but it was around sixth grade. 

Anyways when the movies came out, I was pumped! Though they do have their problems, and I'll be the first to admit they're far from perfect, I did however enjoy myself. 

Suzanne Collins apparently is now working on a prequel set 64 years before the original story. I'm a little excited, but a little nervous. It's been a few years since she's worked on the series, so I'm 50/50 on how this could turn out.

But apparently, Lionsgate has already decided they'll make the movie for this unpublished book. That's pretty quick timing. However it's not unexpected due to how much they made off of the franchise. I just hope they won't rush the film and make a sloppy movie. It would be interesting if they made this new prequel rated R, which could you imagine a rated R Hunger Games film? Damn that would be intense!

Love or hate the series, it's undeniable how The Hunger Games affected Pop Culture. I'm intrigued to see how this new book and movie will affect the culture once more.
