The Hunger Games Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Hunger Games! Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant
The Hunger Games was a massive hit when it came out in 2012, right when the “young adult” genre of movies based on book series was going strong. The movie helped shoot Jennifer Lawrence to superstardom and introduced us to the world of Panem and their crazy Hunger Games Battle Royale ritual. The film definitely raises some questions though. Like what’s up with that “lucky” mockingjay pin? Why doesn’t anyone look hungry? What’s up with Peeta’s makeup skills; what kinds of cakes was he making in that bakery? How did Haymitch instantly get over his alcoholism? Why did they divide this into four movies?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Hunger Games! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

[@clover2739]

Yeah district 12 is the poorest one however Katniss lives in the seam which is the poorest part of the district. Peeta lives more in the privileged part where the shop keepers are and in those parts there are people who can afford to buy bread. In fact the people who actually buy stuff from the bakery most are the people like the peacekeepers. Peeta’s dad is pretty generous tho and trades Katniss’ squirrels for some baked goods, but it’s more his mother that is completely against stuff like that.

My fiancée read the book Battle Royale and she is convinced that Suzanne Collins (the author) took the idea from it which is definitely true.

[@redfish337]

Maze Runner reminds a lot of a Japanese video game... released in the US but a bit too niche for the media to pick up on. (Digital Devil Saga / DDS, released 5 years prior to Maze Runner book) Of course, even being pretty niche, on searching, I'm still not the only one who noticed: "Ahem I apologize for last week, it seems my time has bee taken up by Maze Runner… which actually is comically similar to DDS, but I’ll talk about that in some other post." There are posts by others, but I'll refrain as they actually specify the similarities. IMHO, it's actually even more similar than Battle Royale / Hunger Games. It's a bit of a wonder how this happens. Just coincidence? Actually a fan? It's a bit funny to think of these authors going through foreign stuff to find stuff to rip off.

I agree! The movies are decent, but the books are much better. The dynamic between Peeta and the Careers was weird, but for me that was a good thing, because I might have missed the books without it.

I wouldn't know anything about that. I know Panem is Latin for bread and the Hunger Games is a form of circus entertainment--hence the old Latin turn of phrase "panem et circenses," bread and circuses.

I'd be curious what the author has said is the inspiration for the story.

I actually liked the shakey cam. I felt it was a representation of how the Tributes were feeling during the games. Alert and on edge with tons of adrenaline pumping.

I didn’t really like it too much. It made it hard to see what was happening and they killed of like half of the tributes in that scene

"Very weird cake orders" 😂

[@Domihork]

How have you not mentioned Peeta decorating cakes in a world where everybody is hungry is kind of strange? Also where did he get the stuff to do it in the arena?

[@futurestoryteller]

Who said everybody was hungry?

[@Domihork]

@@futurestoryteller Try watching the video again... He talks about it there and literally makes a joke about it.

[@futurestoryteller]

The people in the capital are both wealthy and well fed, they are mentioned and shown frequently in the video. Cake decorating skills are almost certainly beneath them, so not having read the book to say for sure, it stands to reason that he is decorating such elaborate cakes for all of the people who aren't hungry, who are very rich and run the dystopian society, that you inexplicably forgot about. Also in the movie they have sponsors who can send them literally anything, so he'd have gotten the supplies that way most likely. Maybe sponsors can contact his family, idk. It's not that hard to picture this if you've actually seen the movie. Not to say that everything in it makes perfect sense.

[@Domihork]

@@futurestoryteller Because it makes so much sense to decorate cakes in a small bakery in the 12th district to ship them to the capital. And Peeta mentions "not having anybody" in the movies (although he did mention his family prior to that)...

[@futurestoryteller]

His family is not his sponsors, they're poor people. Rich people are the sponsors. You clearly don't understand this device in the movie. Also, yeah, your Nike's or your iPhone were made by Chinese slave laborers, not everything that sounds inconvenient at a common sense glance actually is for people who will pay to avoid being financially inconvenienced in any way

[@unclecreepy4185]

It’s not a “love triangle”! Triangles have 3 sides, so I’m order for a love triangle to exist between Peeta, Katniss, and Gale; there has to be some interest between Peeta and Gale. Without that 3rd side, it’s just a “love caret”.
