Alternate Post Title: When Lionsgate Became the Capitol
From Deadline:
"Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer told analysts this morning that he’s “actively looking at some development and thinking about prequel and sequel possibilities” for the Hunger Games franchise.
...Look for additional exhibitions — and possibly a theme park attraction. “We are in significant conversations with at least one theme park,” Feltheimer says."
I get that Lionsgate is in this primarily for the money, but turning an anti-war story into a theme park is way, way too problematic to even consider. It bothers me that this is even a conversation. I mean, what would those roller coasters even look like? I was very happy with the Harry Potter theme park decision, but, according to me, it does not fit this story. At all.
Thoughts?
I agree. It is just a way for them to make more money. Considering the basic storyline for Hunger Games, I can't imagine what the rides would be like.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. It would just feel like you were in the Capitol. And, in case Lionsgate hasn't read the book, they're the bad guys.
DeleteI agree. How in the world do you make fighting to the death family friendly?? I imagine the Capitol would be Dr.Suess-esque with a Tracker Jacker roller coaster. There would be mean monkey mascots and a horrible mist that would fill the entire park at random times. Oh, and don't forget the "Kill Snow" archery carnival games!
ReplyDeleteYou totally nailed it. The Capitol saw the killings and the monkeys/mists/etc. as entertainment, and we would be no better if we made a freaking theme park out of it.
