The final book in The Hunger Games trilogy is coming to the big-screen in two parts starting in 2014. Lionsgate Films announced today that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 will be released November 21, 2014, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2 will follow on November 20, 2015. The filmmakers are following the lead of two other teen-based literary franchises, Harry Potter and Twilight, whose final books were broken into two parts for film. Mockingjay, Part 1 will come out a year after the November 22, 2012, release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second film based on Suzanne Collins' novels about televised death matches in a future North American society. Starring Jennifer Lawrence, The Hunger Games debuted in March and has taken in US$404 million (NZ$509 million) domestically and US$678 million worldwide. Continue reading at 'Stuff'
