'The Hunger Games' portrays a world where kids must kill each other to survive. The shocker? It's a book for 12-year-olds.
Comment: Battle Royale was a book before it was a movie, and, yes, the plots are very similar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Royale
Comment: I agree with the post comparing the HUNGER GAMES with the Japanese movie called Battle Royale. In fact the plots are so similiar I would suggest its plagiarism.
Comment: I'm thrilled to read an interview with Collins, but I'm a bit annoyed at the sloppy editing. The main character in Hunger Games is Katniss, not KatMiss, and The Underland Chronicles is about Gregor, not Gregory. Plus, Collins was 8 years old, not 8-years-old -- hyphens are only necessary when the phrase is being used as an adjective. After all, it is an article about literature!
Comment: The plot of THE HUNGER GAMES is not all that unlike the Japanese movie from at least 8 years ago called Battle Royale. I wonder if that inspired Collins in any way.
