Josh Hutcherson on Conan

Josh Hutcherson was on Conan last night to discuss his film Escobar: Paradise Lost. Yes, it DOES seem like that film has already had about 20 premieres. Anyhoo, we would happily watch Josh read from a drilling manual so it's a delight to see him mixing it up with Conan.   

Josh Hutcherson to Appear on Conan June 18th

Josh Hutcherson will be a guest on Conan Thursday, June 18th 11/10c on TBS! It's a new show, not a re-run, we checked! The show is scheduled to tape on Wednesday, June 17th in Los Angeles but the taping is sold out.

Silly Josh, it's Everlark! 

Celebrating 3 Years of 'The Hunger Games' Films

Can you believe it's been THREE years since the premiere of The Hunger Games? I remember March 23, 2012 very specifically. We had just started this site a month before, and were very eagerly awaiting the film's arrival in theaters. I saw the movie twice on opening day and then went back to the theater to see it twice the next day too. It was a thrill to see a book that I loved so much adapted SO beautifully on screen. 

Remember these little babies??

What has #3Yearsof TheHungerGames meant to us? Here are a few highlights:

Jennifer Lawrence went from fairly unknown indie it-girl to the biggest movie star on the planet.

Josh Hutcherson broke our hearts as Peeta Mellark (and continues to do so).

 

We got to experience that a Hollywood franchise can stay true to the source material and fans, respect the intelligence of its audience AND actually be incredibly entertaining and successful!  

We experienced the shock of losing director Gary Ross, and the delight in realizing what a gift director Francis Lawrence would be.

We lost a member of the family.

The Hunger Games franchise broke records:

The Hunger Games was the #1 film 4 weeks in a row.

All 3 movies have held the #1 opening weekend spot for 2 or more weeks.

The Hunger Games is currently the 14th most successful franchise in history - with the LEAST number of films, mind you, and we're not finished! It is also the ONLY franchise with a true female lead, besides Twilight.

Catching Fire was the #1 movie of 2013

Mockingjay Part 1 was very nearly the #1 movie of 2014 (darn you, limited release American Sniper!)

Catching Fire is in the top 10 domestic box office grosses of all time.

And the list goes on.....

We fell in love with the commitment and talent of our director, producers, writers, and amazing crew.

Producers Jon Kilik, Nina Jacobson, author Suzanne Collins and screenwriter Peter Craig

Production Designer Phil Messina and Director Francis Lawrence

We fell in love with our cast over and over. 

We got to know YOU, our followers, friends, fellow fansites and THG family, who laugh, cry and freak out with us every day.
