I was just looking into the latest news on the "Hunger Games" movie. First, I'm excited about this trend to make YA books into movies. Some people aren't big readers but love movies, and I'd hate for them to miss out on some of the great stories in YA right now. Second, I love the hype- will Suzanne Collins be able to write the script to be faithful to the book? what will the movie be rated? who will play Katniss (I vote for Kaya Scodelario)? and Peeta? and Gale?
Which other YA books are movies or are being made? Harry Potter comes out this week, "Flipped", "It's Kind of a Funny Story", and "Charlie St. Cloud" all came out in 2010 based on YA books. 2011 has plans for these releases: "Deathly Hallows part 2", "The Hobbit", "The Giver", and some "Twilight" sequel. Movie producers are also trying to get their hands on: "Beautiful Creatures", "Shiver", "Uglies", "Leviathan", "Fallen", "Hush, Hush",a nd "Mortal Instruments".
What YA books do you think should be made into movies?
