Third Hunger Games Book Will Be Made Into Two Films

The Hunger Games production company Lionsgate has officially announced that the third book in the trilogy, Mockingjay, will be made into two films.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 will be released on 21 November 2014 with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 following on 20 November 2015.

As yet there’s no confirmation as to whether the Mockingjay movies will follow the example set by Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2, and be directed by the same person in one big shooting frenzy.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the second film, is being directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend) but there’s no reason to assume that automatically stay on to direct one or both of the final two movies.
