This is what Lionsgate should do if they want more Hunger Games movies

Super blogger Meredith Woerner wrote last week on io9 that Lionsgate Wants More Hunger Games Movies. My response after thinking about it is tongue-in-cheek, but seriously listen to this pitch. It's magnificent.

They should make a series that's a cross between Twilight AND the Hunger Games. They'd hire people even prettier than all the actors/actresses on the CW, parade them around shirtless or in sweaters so tight that their boobs are bursting out the tops of their turtlenecks, and set it in a dystopian world where vamps and humans are forced to fight to the death in games orchestrated by a totalitarian government!

The female vamps all fight and run through the woods in makeup and high heels, and the wolf packs are all smokin' hot with mad archery skills. Only the government is evil...thoroughly evil. The vamps just want to look good and are committed to a vegan-esque lifestyle and wear hippy clothes and there'd be all this sexual tension with really no place to go because everyone is crying about everyone else suffering at the hands of the government. And all the people, everywhere, have glitter on their skin so that they sparkle at all times.

Oh and the actual Hunger Games...those take place in...wait for it...A MAZE!

So what do you guys think?

  1. Find a way to throw in the Divergent angle and you just might have a hit there!

  2. I don't think any work has been good when they try to outclass and copy another work of fiction.

  5. HA! That's what I'm doing wrong! No love triangles of pretty people who are trying to survive zombies! Or something...

  6. Before Katniss there were like 73 Hunger Games so they could make at least 73 prequels. Or 146 if they split each one into 2 parts. Or 219 if they split each into 3 parts. And so on...

  7. I'm sure it would be a mega block buster ;)

  8. What's scary is that there must be people in Hollywood already contemplating just such a storyline. One little detail: the gorgeous male leads are obsessively in love with the gorgeous female leads and will do anything for them (think Twilight, which for me was creepy and about stalkers).

  11. Bring in the female vamps. I'll try to fight them off with my powers but its no good. I'll have to die happy.

  12. LOL, as horrible as it sounds, this would likely sell. I gotta go get some wine to wash that thought out of my mouth.
