Welcome to Mockingjay.net

Categories: Hunger Games Movie Oct 14, 2011Due to poor performances for recent Lionsgate films, they are bringing in talented people to help ensure the success of ‘Hunger Games.’The Santa Monica studio has hired veteran marketing executive Terry Press as a consultant to help plan and execute the advertising campaign for “Hunger Games,” the $80-million-plus production based on the bestselling book trilogy; the film opens in March. Press spent more than a decade as a top marketing executive at DreamWorks before leaving in 2007 to run her own company. She has since consulted throughout Hollywood, including helping to run marketing for CBS Films and working on last year’s “The Social Network.” Lionsgate has also recruited a new executive to run its distribution department, which plans release dates and books films in theaters. Chris Leroy, a former executive vice president of distribution at Walt Disney Studios, is now interim president of distribution for Lionsgate, reporting to Drake. He was the No. 2 distribution executive at Disney until early this year, when he left along with a wave of others who have departed under new Chairman Rich Ross. via LA TimesLionsgate really needs this to be a success! I think that although bringing in big name executives can help, the power is mainly in the hands of the fans. We will make it a success! Do you agree? Alexander Ludwig Names Cornucopia Shoot as Best Hunger Games Experience Posted by Crystal • 12 Comments » Categories: Actor: Alexander Ludwig Oct 13, 2011Alexander Ludwig did a UStream today for his fans (still ongoing if you want to try to catch him playing guitar, though he’s having issues) and one person in the stream asked what his favorite Hunger Games experience was.“We all became really close. I was really tight with Dayo and Jack because we’re so similar in age. Isabelle was like a little sister to me, she plays Clove. Cornucopia scene was nuts, it was insane. It was a whole week of doing action packed stuff. It was just out of this world.”Alexander also mentioned that he just did a 2 page spread with other Hunger Games stars for Seventeen magazine and then hinted about another big magazine shoot, which he later mentioned as Vanity Fair. All in all, lots to be excited about! Glen Hansard Talks About ‘The Hunger Games’ at Concert Posted by Kimmy • 6 Comments » Categories: Soundtrack / Score Oct 13, 2011 Remember the post we did before about Glen Hansard maybe being on the soundtrack for ‘The Hunger Games’? That video we posted sure sounded like he was talking about the trilogy, and now we have proof! This video was recently uploaded of Glen actually talking about the trilogy before singing ‘Come Away.’ Thanks to AoifbellaMusic for uploading this video. This is from a concert in late September I believe, but the concert where our previous tipper Chas said he told the audience he was writing a song for was on the soundtrack was in October. Still no video confirmation of that! I’m thinking he is though! What do you think? Head over to our previous post about this to see a better video of him singing ‘Come Away.’EDIT:

New ‘Hunger Games’ Trilogy Covers in the UK for Adult Readers Posted by Kimmy • 23 Comments » Categories: Books Oct 13, 2011 Scholastic UK has new covers for ‘The Hunger Games’ books, that have been printed to draw in adult readers. (The previous UK covers were marketed towards teens and kids.) What do you think of these covers? Found on the official ScholasticUK Twitter. Fan Art: Hunger Games “Incentives” – by LeabHarlann Posted by Kimmy • 3 Comments » Categories: Fan Art Oct 13, 2011Katniss realizes that her affection for Peeta (real or not real) might keep them both alive.Artwork by leabharlann! Book Review: The Hunger Games Companion (Unauthorized Guide) Posted by Crystal • 27 Comments » Categories: Books Oct 12, 2011 Before I begin my review, I need to state that this is based on an advanced reader copy and so some errors I found may have been corrected in the final published version.When The Hunger Games Companion: The Unauthorized Guide to the Series by Lois Gresh first popped up on Amazon, I admit I was very concerned. I looked up reviews on the author’s other titles and wasn’t happy with what I saw. People hated her Twilight Companion and the guides she wrote for other popular series had similar scathing reviews. Was she going to do the same thing to The Hunger Games?Regardless, I was excited, since I hadn’t actually read one of her books myself. I went in expecting things like a list of each district’s specialty, a theoretical map of Panem, a family tree of main characters (since I totally had no idea until recently what Gale’s little sister’s name is), or at least a timeline of events of Panem history pieced together from the books. Unfortunately, none of these things are included in the book.While I find the author to be a sweet lady, I can’t honestly say that this book will appeal to most Hunger Games fans. Being pushed as “the perfect gift for any Hunger Games fan” and claiming to “give millions of readers the insider information that they’ve been waiting for”, the book most certainly doesn’t fulfill either of those claims, mostly for the fact that its contents make for heavy reading and without any input from Suzanne Collins, this really can’t be considered an “insider’s guide”. It also boasts a revealing biography of Suzanne Collins which I haven’t been able to find.With those expectations behind me, I had hoped to find Ms. Gresh’s insights on the events of the novels such as an in-depth analysis of The Reaping or the inner turmoil of Katniss’ emotions and fears, but instead found myself reading things like a checklist for rebellion in real world America, definitions of anorexia and bulimia with tales of famous anorexics in history, an entire chapter on psychology to support whether President Snow is evil, and a history of real-world oppressive regimes. While these things are certainly relevant to the themes of the books, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was reading a history book with Hunger Games references thrown in for modern culture relevance.As an example, a Hunger Games fan would expect a chapter titled “Tributes” to talk about the various tributes in The Hunger Games, including past victors, where they came from, and how they won. Instead, famous tributes such as Foxface, Cato, Enobaria, Mags, Beetee, Haymitch, Annie, Johanna, Thresh, and Rue are not mentioned at all. Instead, the chapter is essentially a recounting of the story of Spartacus and the history of Roman gladiators with doomsday predictions from the past.The book has several errors, which I hope have been corrected by the time of publication, like Head Gamemakers Seneca Crane and Plutarch Heavensbee being mistakenly titled Head Peacekeepers. On page 56, Gresh says that Mrs. Mellark hits Peeta in the face because he wasn’t feeding the burnt bread to the pigs quickly enough, when in fact she hits him because he burns the bread. On page 168, she says that Katniss thought of her prep team as “total idiots”. This is true, except for the fact that she throws Cinna in there, too. It also says that when they’re killed, she’s devastated. While Cinna’s death does devastate Katniss, the rest of the prep team ends up living in District 13. On the back of the book, Katniss is called “Kat”, a nickname by which no one ever calls her in the series.Other parts of the book vastly differ from my own interpretation of the characters and events of The Hunger Games, such as on page 8 when she calls Katniss a “fairly innocent and sweet young girl”. Since we learn most of the Capitol’s nefarious intentions through Katniss’ understanding of the political landscape she lives in, I don’t consider Katniss to be innocent. And while Katniss may love her sister more than life itself, she’s certainly not what I would call a “sweet young girl”.On page 130, it says that Haymitch and the other adults only “contribute to the rebellion” and that “Katniss and the other kids are the ones who really get the job done”. While Katniss and Peeta may be only 17 years old in Mockingjay, who are these other kids that are being referenced? A whole lot of adult characters are being discounted here. Finnick? Mags? Jackson? Beetee? Leeg 1 and 2? These people weren’t children and they didn’t merely “contribute” to the rebellion, they gave their lives. To a Hunger Games fan, such errors are practically unforgivable. Such errors make you wonder how much of the historical content is accurate.Hunger Games facts aside, I found other sections to be misleading, such as the small section comparing the Games to the UFC.“UFC remains extremely popular worldwide, with the fights now known as “exhibition matches” that are not tallied as wins or losses in professional boxing.”UFC fights are not tallied as wins or losses in professional boxing because the UFC is not professional boxing. The UFC is mixed martial arts, an entirely different sport that does have rules. Gresh goes on to say, “the more sponsorship a fighter receives, the more he’s paid per fight. Remind you of the Hunger Games?” Isn’t this true for any athlete in any sport? Fighter salaries in the UFC depend on factors including performance, pay-per-views, and individual contracts. Monetary compensation aside, fighters are also paid in glamorized marketing campaigns that propel them to stardom. Since Hunger Games tributes aren’t paid anything unless they manage to not die, I don’t really see the correlation to The Hunger Games.The chapter on weapons is interesting until you realize that it reads almost like a how-to guide on killing people.“Swing the spear instead of thrusting it at your target. The tip of the blade will slice the victim’s body open, and then you dive in with the thrust.”There’s also a little section telling you how to make exploding arrowheads. The fact that the author included things like this are genuinely disturbing, which brings me to my main concern about this book.Marketing this book as the “perfect gift” for any Hunger Games fans is a bold statement, especially since the publisher seems to forget that the Hunger Games is targeted at young adults and tweens. The series has been challenged for its violent content, but in most cases, Suzanne Collins uses vague descriptions of terror rather than the specifics of the horrors the characters experience, largely leaving that to the imagination of the readers.However, this guide goes into very graphic details of Roman torture, genital mutilation, electrocution, and execution. If parents don’t like their 11 year-old reading that Peeta watched Darius die slowly from mutilation torture over a few days, they’re going to be even more upset to find out that this book gives a step-by-step breakdown of how to pull out someone’s tongue, a chart on how many amps of electricity needed to torture a man vs a woman, and where exactly you’d need to cut chunks of flesh off a person’s body to keep them alive for days. I was, quite frankly, completely shocked that such graphic details were included in a book being targeted at children. The section graphically detailing the effects of a botched electric chair execution almost made me vomit. This is not what I expected in a companion, nor is it what I wanted in one. I stopped reading at this point. This is no perfect gift.In conclusion, the book does go in-depth into the serious issues of the series and I applaud the author’s success in writing this much content, but I highly doubt it’s what the fandom is looking for in a companion book. Parents who are thinking of giving this book to their children for Christmas should read the chapter on torture and then wait for the official Scholastic companion. Fans looking for a comparison between The Hunger Games and history may be satisfied with this book, but fans of the characters and emotion of The Hunger Games will find themselves woefully disappointed.This book was provided to me by St. Martin’s Press. The opinions expressed above are my own and I was not compensated in any way for writing it. Donald Sutherland at TIFF Posted by Crystal • 36 Comments » Categories: Actor: Donald Sutherland Oct 12, 2011While no one has any idea what Donald Sutherland looks like in-character as President Snow, this picture of him with son Kiefer Sutherland at TIFF sure proves that he’s got the snowy white hair for the part! What do you think of the photo? Creepy? Scary? Fun?Update: I didn’t even realize it, but I guess this means Snow is bearded in the film.Source: Zimbio via HGGirlonFire « Previous Entries FacebookQuote“I startle when I catch someone staring at me from only a few inches away and then realize it's my own face reflecting back in the glass.
