All this talk about the Hunger Games movie, the stories about the anticipation among the young audiences, the stories about Soderbergh shooting second unit, the stories by media outlets who don’t write about cinematic adaptations of YA fiction so they write about the marketing of cinematic adaptations of YA fiction (and in more than one source to boot!) got me thinking. Why aren’t we hearing more about Battle Royale which I can almost guarantee is much better?
