Lionsgate (predictably) decides to cut the final chapter in The Hunger Games trilogy, Mockingjay, in half. In addition, the studio has set the release date for both parts.
Lovers Anonymous Review: This series reminds us that every concept—even one as extraordinary as this—requires a great story to really connect.
TNS: "Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare takes its Twisted Childhood concept extremely seriously, for better and for worse."
TNS: Ke Huy Quan returned to the spotlight in Everything Everywhere All at Once, but he takes his first starring role in Love Hurts this year.
i called it - but seriously, there's just too much in the 3rd book to keep it to just one movie. This is a good decision.
splitting the movie into 2 parts is not really a bad idea if it makes the story better. harry potter and twilight did it, it is obvious that hunger games will follow since the success of the first film. i know that the books are thin and obviously it looks that splitting movies into 2 using a thin book looks absurd but movies have a tandency for creative license as long as the author approves. they can at least give backstories or expand the screentime for some characters and scenarios etc. but at the end of the day it will be ok as long as the movie is not dragging and loses the interest of its audience. the only disadvantage of splitting movies is it loses its climax.
