" It&amp;#039;s March 1, which means we can finally say The Hunger Games movie is coming out this month!! If you haven&amp;#039;t noticed, we&amp;#039;re all dying with anticipation to see Jennifer Lawrence tear up the arena as Katniss and, of course, just watch Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson and their great looking faces. Whenever there&amp;#039;s a movie adaptation to a beloved book, there&amp;#039;s bound to be a bit of skepticism of if the screen version can live up to original story, but now we have confirmation from Suzanne Collins herself that the film is going to be just as awesome. Here&amp;#039;s a letter to her fans she posted today on The Hunger Games&amp;#039; Facebook page! Dear Readers, I&amp;#039;ve just had the opportunity to see the finished film of The Hunger Games. I&amp;#039;m really happy with how it turned out. I feel like the book and the film are individual yet complementary pieces that enhance one another. The film opens up the world beyond Katniss&amp;#039; point of view, allowing the audience access to the happenings of places like the Hunger Games control room and President Snow&amp;#039;s rose garden, thereby adding a new dimension to the story. Director Gary Ross has created an adaptation that is faithful in both narrative and theme, but he&amp;#039;s also brought a rich and powerful vision of Panem, its brutality and excesses, to the film as well. His world building&amp;#039;s fantastic, whether it be the Seam or the Capitol. It&amp;#039;s amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers. And, my God, the actors. The cast, led by the extraordinary Jennifer Lawrence, is absolutely wonderful across the board. It&amp;#039;s such a pleasure to see how they&amp;#039;ve embodied the characters and brought them to life.  So I&amp;#039;d like to sincerely thank all the many people who devoted their time and talents to the film, especially producers Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik, and the excellent teams at Color Force, Larger Than Life, and Lionsgate. I hope you enjoy the film! Suzanne Collins Are you going to the midnight showing of The Hunger Games? Do you plan on dressing up or having any sort of pre-show party with your friends?
