Ugh. That IS annoying since Twilight and The Hunger Games have practically NOTHING in common (despite the love triangle aspect — though THG has a much better executed one).

NEXT >>>>> YEAR!

It’s wrong to compare the two together… because Hunger Games is so much better writen, it would make Twilight into a larger downer… To late. . . Hunger Games is amazing….
….
… …
My brother has confided in me a comment I wish to post to the world…
… “What if they mess up the movie!”

Yes hopefully they make the movie! I don’t see The Hunger Games being the Next Twilight! It’s going to be better than the Twilight saga!!!! The Hunger Games is going to put Twilight into shame! Really excited that Suzanne Collins is going to be the screenwriter of this movie!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!can’t wait to see it and I wonder who is going to be Katniss, Peeta, and Gale! Who do you think is going to be Katniss, Gale, and Peeta?!!!!

Well i honestly think it will be a great movie but since i didnt love twilight i really hope this movie isnt like that beacuse i would turn out hating this book 2 and that just wouldnt be right because the hunger games is AWESOME!!

I don’t think the media are catching on. I’ve never heard of ClevverTV. When I see CNN or FOX do a story on it, then I’ll believe it.

Woohooooo!
My hopes are that this franchise becomes so big that people say, “Twilight? Oh yeah, I forgot about that..”
because honestly, as much as I LOVE Twilight as a franchise itself, it’s become so commercialised and mainstream that I think something with so much meaning and soul would be better off in the limelight, rather than something that advertises sparkling boys.

GO THE HUNGER GAMES!

Peeta and Gale and Haymitch and Cray and Marvel and Thresh and Plutarch Heavensbee and Finnick and even President Snow are more human than any of the men in Twlight.. (although I’m seriously doubting the last one!) but I gues charlie and mike are human… so they count

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. THG is NOTHING like twilight. As much as i wish more people knew about THG, i really don’t want preppy little girls going around saying “omg, the tv said The Hunger Games is cool, so i’m gunna read the book and watch the movieeeeeeeeeee. omg i, like, LOVE Peetaaaaaa.”
I wish it can have legit fans who read the book to read the book, and not because the media says so.

I totally agree with Izy. I just don’t think I would be able to stand a THG craze. I mean, I don’t want the media to ruin it. And well, that’s the sad part about the movie. The media WILL ruin it eventually. Millions of stupid kids will be like: “Oh my god! The Hunger Games is cool now! Lets watch the movie and then maybe read the book so that I have something to talk about with my stupid friends!!”
I just don’t want it to become all…commercial; if you know what I mean. I used to LOVE twilight (back in 2007…); and I still do. But sometimes I really really hate it because the media has ruined it for me.
But (when I’m feeling all optimistic) I think THG will not have the exact same impact…cause its so much more violent. It’s not really full of rainbows and bubbles and red hearts. It has loads of blood and violence. So maybe it wont atract so many stupid kids…and maybe, if we are lucky, the media won’t turn THG into something we will end up hating.

I guess this hype is never ending. Comparing one book to another is ridiculous. It’s like saying, “Hey, you loved Harry Potter, so you’ll love this book!” There’s no measure or comparison of how much you’ll like a book judging by another. No two author’s writing styles are the same, and nor do different books have the same characters with the exact same basis. You can’t say something is the new Harry Potter, or the new Twilight, because each of these books have a different point that they’re trying to portray, and there’s a good chance that no other book will portray the same point.

You guys are all so right! (Finally, people who understand!)
People watch movies, then SKIM through the book. It’s just makes you want to dump a whole lot of spagetti on them. It IS ridiculous comparing books to another, because if you look hard enough, you will always find a better book. The hype is just another reason that makes me laugh because Hg into a movie seems too funny. Aren’t we suppossed to be getting rid of the Media
?

Ugh, if this gets as popular as twilight I will be the first to make fun of the stupid names of all the main characters. No way am I sitting around for yet another media craze.

Haha, I bet Clevver TV doesn’t realize so much of the book has to do with them
I worry, though, that when Fox gets air of THG they’ll try and destroy it, since:
A. FOX is into sensationalism. THG is NOT!
B. FOX seems to love anything that’ll make controversy, and put it down. 24 kids killing each other is too much for them to resist.
C. THG attacks stupid reality shows and the general idiots we seem to find in the media. Like FOX. Imagine if they find a film that puts them down so much what they’ll try…

I’m pretty sure the film will triumph regardless, though.

i do love Twilight but i love THE HUNGER GAMES even more…. i wish the movie could come out this year…. i really can’t wait for it to hit the theatres…

Jourdan Cameron…
So are you saying you’re not a fan of FOX News? hahaha

Ok, I was a fan before the Twilight hype, and all I have to say is, I never dreamed it would be as big as it was. I didn’t think 12 year old girls would love it and go all gaga over it, because if you actually read it, it’s a deep love story. Not anything controversial like THG, but I just thought only a mature audience would like it. But of course it was promoted in, honestly, a rather cheap way–only about abs and boys. And Lionsgate will do the same, I think, which upsets me. Little 12 year old girls are going to go around screaming “I LOVE YOU PEETA!” and all that junk because selling the t-shirts, the dolls, the posters, etc, is what makes them money. It might lose its message, or the message may be diluted by all of the merchandise.

I don’t know if twelve year old girls will do that, although I really agree with you about the craze. This movie will have lots and lots of violence; it can’t only be PG 13…I mean, I don’t think so. Maybe PG 16? I hope.

yeah i’m not even a fan of twilight because it’s not that realistic. i mean vampires and stuff. please thg is much more real and futuristic. although i sure hope that the future is not like that!

Kids these days don’t even look twice at a rating. Once they see someone drop dead gorgeous, they’ll be like “Oh I love that actor! Let’s go see it!”
@likesunset: Twilight is definatly NOT a 12 year old girl book. I swear, if some random chick who scream “I LOVE YOU PEETA” who has never read the book, I will thrust that chick into the arena and scream over the loud speaker “HOW YOU LIKE IT NOW?!”
THG is not exactly a 12 year old book either.
@Dancemydreams: No kidding about the PG16. With all the blood and such.
You can’t just read this book to a 12 year old and have expect to realize the importance of every word. They only hear what they want to hear.
Same with all the paparatzi an FOX

No way! I totally think that THG can BE HUGE but i dont want it to be a twilight! Twilight is all lovey dovey and what not…. THG is about fighting to the death! I mean sure there are SOME romantic scenes but NO ONE should be comparing our beloved hunger games to Twilight. I dont care if it is Clevver tv (which i love XD). UGH i love twilight and all, but the whole “THE NEXT TWILIGHT” thing would bother me…. a lot.
~Team GALE =)

If a preteen (and even a teenager) sees a cute 16-year-old boy, they do not care what that boy is doing, they love him.
Like Zac Efron.
:/ So I do worry that a 12 year old is going to act like that. Which, don’t get me wrong, I’m all for being excited and having other people be the same way. But a lot of books-into-movies get their hype from the people feeding off of the real fan’s hype and just acting annoying like they know what’s going on. If REAL fans are excited and camping out, I love it! But the people that are curious, just going along with the crowd, or like it because they think the guy on the poster’s a babe, then it’s so frustrating.

I totally think the Hunger Games will be the next twilight. Honestly, I prefer THG and CF over Twilight any day. Twilights ok but thats all anyone mentions any more. At least the hunger games has some creativity.

Taluthia… Your “HOW YOU LIKE IT NOW?!” comment made my day… Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

(Taluthia – Greg) hahahahahhaahahahahah I agreee: “HOW YOU LIKE IT NOW?!” I would totally react like that. I like it that all of us are real fans here; I just don’t want to see all of those fake-after-movie-fans…..ever. I hate those people. They ruin everything.

the Hunger Games is NOT the next Twilight Saga . . .
the Twilight Saga is the preview . . . .
to the Hunger Games!!!!!!!!
(tHG is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better)

by the way, I read tHG when I was 12 and loved it for reasons that had nothing to do with cute boys, so please don’t be insulting

I didn’t mean all 12 year olds. Not all 12 year olds like Twilight because of the boys. But I’d say 90% of them do. And reading a book and watching a movie are in two totally different spheres completely.

I have mixed emotions. I reallllllly want the Hunger Games to become a movie like more than anything!!!! and I am really glad that somebody other than fansites have said something. But I agree with most of you guys. I have people at my school that once I read it then a few others did and then like everybody was reading them!!! Then they would not stop talking about it like non-stop all day and it was really annoying. I don’t want it to be like that as it was with Twilight. I realllllly liked Twilight, and it was a very nice story and all; but I am in love with the Hunger Games! Because it has romance one minute but then blood-bath-battles (say that ten times fast) the next. And also the Twilight movie wasn’t as good as the book (when are they ever really?) and I don’t want that to happen as bad in The Hunger Games. I want them to follow the book very closely and get really great actors so that it will be believable.

Yes, there are the select few who do understand the concept of it. But only a few. That 10% that GETS IT, I applaud them. I don’t mean to be insulting, but if there is to be a movie and *shudders* 12 year old girls go around screaming about it when they’ve never read the book, it’s just asking TO be thrown in that dang arena.
@Katiniss*Peeta: I do have mixed emotions also. I want more people to know about the book so when I talk about it, I don’t have to tell them all about the book. But I don’t want the hype that involves everything.
The book is not all lovey dovey. I think it would make me not like it as much. The book has room to breathe. It’s the kind of book that girls can read it and guys will read it because they won’t get teased like they did when they read Twilight. That book gave me a sence of survival. If I was thrown in the woods, I would have a chance of surviving.

I am 12 and have read the book….. I understand it……. And I agree that I’m not sure if they should promote it heavily as it kind of goes against the concept!!! When I explain the book to my friends though they are like ewww people killing each other? No way!!! I have successfully transferred one person of the twilight saga and onto the hunger games……

I will admit, I used to be a Twilighter before I read The Hunger Games. Like the Hunger Games, I got into it when it was just starting to get popular (around the same time Eclipse, the third book in Twilight). I was never really into reading, but ever since I have been. I was obsessed with it. It consumed probably almost every moment of every day. But once the movie came out… my love for it faded. It continued to fade until I went to the New Moon Premier, which was so crazy someone literally almost broke my ankle trying to be first in line. That was the final straw. Before that, though, I had read Hunger Games and fell in love with it. As my love for Twilight faded, my love for the Hunger Games grew larger than ever.

I am terrified that The Hunger Games will be as big as Twilight was. I’m afraid I will stop loving it like I did with it, too. So, in terms, I hate it when people refer to The Hunger Games as the next Twilight.

Thanks to anyone who read this.

i hate it that it is being compared to gay twilight and it is going to be WAY better than gay twilight too!!!

JESUS F***ING CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry Jesus, but no, THG is f***ing infinite f***ing times better than f***-tarded Twilight!!!! The only thing they have in common is the who do I love scheme. Other than that f***-sh*t Twilight would be f***ing incredibly f***ing lucky to even come close to f***ing 0.00000000000000000000001% as awesome as THG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F*** YOU, TWILIGHT!!!!!! F*** YOU, EDWARD!!!! F*** THE ENTIRE CAST OF TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how do you add those smiley faces? oh yeah! boo! twilght sucks balls. my sis is a twilight fan. boo! how do you add the smiley faces?

Um… well… I don’t know exactly what to say, now that every thing has been said.

1)Don’t compare H.G. to Twilight. You will get some anry fans on your hands.
2)If they ruin the book with all the hype, They will get more angry fans.
3)If any-AND I MEAN EXACTLY WHAT I SAY!-12 year old chicks that have never read the book go around screaming “I love Peeta Mellark!” I will-I am dead serious about this-I will thrust those chicks into an arena full of mutts and I will-must I repeat myself?-I will scream over the loud speaker, laughing mischieviously, “HOW YOU LIKE IT NOW?!

I will and I am serious about it. Fake fans bug me.
It is quite hilarious how the media plays a huge part of H.G. and here they are, unknowing that part of the book is about them. Makes you realize the small joys in life. Ha ha ha, media and 12 year old fake fans, Ha… Ha … Ha

THG is the next HP. Great story, plot, cast, adaptation, and fans what an insult to say it will be the next Twilight. I hope THG does not get crazy screaming rude fan girls like Twilight

Oh my God. I can’t believe that lady compared The Hunger Games and Twilight. They are not even SIMILAR. It makes me so mad that people do that. At least MAYBE compare it to Harry Potter because you know they at least have one BIG THING in common (Getting rid of President Snow and getting rid of Voldemort). HP and THG both have amazing plost. amazing authors, and greats stories. Twilight is a terrible excuse for a book (Yes, I have tried reading it. I couldn’t get through that book to save my life). I swear to God, if ANY, and I mean ANY person that has been in Twilight is in THE movie, I will cry, and I will refuse to watch the movie, but I know that there will be a bunch of fangirls at the movie just because a Twilight actor is it it.

If THG is turned in to something like Twilight, I will write a letter to Suzanne Collins saying how I’m so sorry her wonderful book trilogy got turned in to trash.

If the movies turn in to Twilight, at least I have the books and I will never let the movies destroy the REAL Hunger Games.

I hope that they don’t have another twilight mania and rune the books.( Not trying to be mean.)

To be honest, I’m quite frustrated with how everyone is saying that hunger games will be the next twilight. I read twilight a couple of years before anyone knew that a movie was coming out. After the movie came out, everyone was obsessed with Twilight, and thought that they knew everything about it, when they haven’t even read the books. I like being one of the few people in my school who is obsessed with the hunger games. Also, The hunger games is a MUCH better book than any of the Twilight books in my opinion….Im sorry for the books and how they are being compared to something that is DEFINITELY not as amazing…….. :O (Also, on a sidenote, JD was the one who told me about the Twilight books and the Hunger Games) thanks JD!

Okay, The Hunger Games should not be compared to Twilight cause guess what??? The Hunger Games is WAY better!!! I am excited for the movie, though. And trust me, it definitely WILL NOT be the next Twilight……BETTER!!!

i like twilight and everything(not as much as the hunger games though)but the two have Nothing in commen this is a book about survival and strength not a vampire romance novel!

I could just beat the sh*t out of that girl on the video when she leans forward and says ” the medias WHISPERING about the NEXT TWILIGHT.” ok first of all we don’t WHISPER about books as good as Hunger Games, we fu**ing praise and worship these books. Second of all, NEXT TWILIGHT?!?!?!?! are you out of your FU**ING MIND!?!?!?!? next twilight, DAI LOCO NEXT TWILIGHT?!?!?!? MY ASS

I have been saying since 2009. (First discovered THG) that I hope and pray it will not become a movie. Well, here’s the movie. This may sound weird, but I really really hope it doesn’t become popular. It seems to me that when a book gets UBER popular and has a movie with cute boys the books themselves become a joke. In that people read them, and they see the movies just because they are popular. This happened to Twilight, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter (though they were pretty popular when I first read them, but I’m too young to have been reading them when the first couple came out.) Anyway, I just would hate to be at school with a bunch of fake fans. That just really bugs me. Then, I feel like I have to tell everyone that I’VE been reading them since they came out, Just PLEASE DON”T MAKE ANOTHER TWILIGHT. PLEASE
