Lionsgate Takes On 'Hunger Games'
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
Lionsgate is the last studio standing. It has acquired worldwide distribution rights to the film project "The Hunger Games," which will be derived from a futuristic young adult novel written by Suzanne Collins.

The Scholastic novel, which is the first in a planned trilogy, imagines a dystopian future (is there any other kind?) where North America has been divided into 12 oppressed districts, each of which is forced to send tribute in the form of a boy and a girl to compete in a televised battle to the death once a year.
