The very first trailer (plus poster & images) for The Starving Games aka The Hunger Games spoof has arrived. And they're not just making fun of Suzanne Collins’ Panem. They mess with The Expendables, The Avengers, Sherlock Holmes and even with Harry Potter in this one.
Written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the guys behind parodies Vampire's Suck, Meet The Spartans, and Date Movie, the movie is the story of "When lithe and fearless Kantmiss Evershot (a dead ringer for Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to take part in the winner-takes-all STARVING GAMES, she takes on a whole lot more than we could ever have bargained for…. including Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes and The Avengers."
Take a look at the trailer:
"Good morning hungry citizens of District 12! Don’t forget today is the Gathering Ceremony, so parents please bring your beloved children to the square for a random death lottery.”
The Starving Games has a release date. According to Deadline, the movie has been acquired by Ketchup Entertainment and is slated for a November 8 release, a convenient 2 weeks before the premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
