They’re still hungry, people. Still hungry. It remains to be seen whether The Hunger Games is going to have staying power as a franchise. Sure, the first movie did pretty well, but tweens have moved on to other pursuits. It doesn’t help that the storyline already stretches the limits of plausibility, bringing the past champions of the Games back into the Arena to fight once more, but when you also figure in that the first movie’s director, Gary Ross, won’t be coming back for the sequel (replaced by the guy who made Constantine) I’m starting to get a bad feeling about this whole endeavor. Anyways, Lionsgate just released the first three shots from the new movie, and here they are. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is set to hit theaters on November 22nd.
