Do you know what is Green Tea Movie's top ambition all these while? Of course, it has been a great desire for me to attend and to cover the annual Comic-Con in San Diego that is. Unfortunately, Green Tea Movie will have to stick in Malaysia, so it will be another customary of seeing people having fun and reading people's experience at Comic-Con. No worry, even if I am not there, I am here to bring you some updates on the on-going Comic-Con 2011 at San Diego. Head over the jump to read the latest news, courtesy of Coming Soon to read on the updates on The Hunger Game, The Darkest Hour, The Avengers and Shrapnel.
#1: NEW POSTER FOR THE HUNGER GAME
 |
| "May the odds be ever in your favor". Now let the battle begins. |
From CS: Directed by Gary Ross and opening on March 23, 2012, The Hunger Games chronicles a dystopic Capitol which requires its twelve subjugated districts to pay tribute in the form of a teenage boy and girl, forced to participate in the annual "Hunger Games," a fight-to-the-death live televised event. Katniss Everdeen's little sister is chosen in the lottery to participate and Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to take her place. Although persevering through hardship is commonplace for Katniss, she must start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love in order to win the games and return home.
REMARKS: I have not read the novel yet! Is it any good? Anyway, the movie version arrives on March 23 in Malaysia too.
