Did you go see the Hunger Games? We haven't gotten there quite yet, but my husband and son, who read the books, are just dying to see the film!
I read today that Disney has secured the TV rights to Hunger Games and it's Sequel. So nice of them to not hold a grudge against that executive that quit Disney and headed to Lions Gate. LoL!

Will you watch?
No. Will not watch. That movie seems too darn depressing. If I want depressing, I can watch the news.
I haven't seen the movie yet. I want to read the book first.
CCC - it is definitely a little depressing but it's a story of survival. It's very touching and interesting. it tackles some real issues with poverty and class separation, but the overall theme is survival. I don't think it's as depressing as the news. I highly recommend this series to anyone and everyone!
As much as I love the books and the movie, I just don't know if I'd want to watch the TV show. Very depressing, although it could be pretty dramatic!
the TV show
I could be mistaken, but I believe that what they secured was to be able to air the movies on ABC Family at a future date.
I haven't thought about the potential for it to be depressing, I still want to go see it, so hopefully it will stick around for awhile in the theater here.

I read somewhere {I forget where} that they wanted to make a Hunger Games TV show and I assumed that is what Disney got, sorry!
You definitely need to go see it - I LOVED the books and thought the movie was also so good.
