“The Hunger Games” Viral Knows Who You Are Michael Lee, August 29, 2011August 30, 2011 Maybe Lionsgate didn’t give it some thought at first, but when we wrote an article about a possible viral site for The Hunger Games, the studio called to inform us that they weren’t marketing such a site nor were they affiliated with it.

I can’t wait for the Hunger Games. I have watched the movie teaser trailer that I have on my website ( http://movietease.blogspot.com/2011/08/hunger-games-official-movie-trailer.html ) quite a few times already. Something familiar about it but looks unique in it’s own right.
