It definitely doesn't seems the kind of story for a MV-esque score. I'm glad that JNH is having more proyects to make up for the poor year he had.

I'm very excited by this project. The movie has the potential of being interesting so I'm glad JNH is on board because I was kinda disappointed by the movies he scored lately: Green Hornet, Green Lantern, The Tourist, Gnomeo & Juliet (Ok I understant why he did this one because he is friend with Elton John). JNH already has 3 big projects in 2012 so I can't wait.

With JNH's work recently being of the so-so variety, I'm preparing to be seriously underwhelmed. Again. This. JNH is very hit-or-miss for me these days, but mostly miss. Elfman is much more reliable, and judging by REAL STEEL and IRIS is going through a particularly exciting patch. My interest in this film is now kaput.

I just read this quote from JNH on Yahoo: "Ka-CHING, you mothers!" Wait until he finds out that John Powell doesn't have any scores for movies that feature bows and arrows.

I'm sure one of his assistants will be able to find something by Powell that can be used. If not, maybe Powell could be commissioned to write something so that could be used.

I like what I've read of this premise, although also a bit worried about the TWILIGHT comparisons. Having just finished reading the whole trilogy, I understand why people are comparing it to Twilight -- there's a love triangle, it's dark for a "kids" book -- but they really couldn't be more different. To paraphrase Stephen King "Twilight is about how important it is to have a boyfriend" with vampires and werewolves, while The Hunger Games is about survival, protecting others, what to do when your world falls apart, and the difficulties of weighing death. It's significantly better than Twilight (but no Potter, imho) and I'm very interested to see how it translates to screen. To echo Giacchino-fan: Here's hoping JNH feels inspired and goes more Shyamalan (I'd like some "Signs"-level creepiness mixed with awe), and less Green Lantern.

I just started book two and I can understand the love triangle comparision to Twilight, but that's IT. Nothing else is similar. Hopefully it doesn't go all Eragon on us by making a crappy movie and destroying the chance for a franchise (and great franchise music! I would have LOVED THE HECK out of a Doyle Eragon 2 score).
