'The Hunger Games' Online & Franchise: 2015 Tour Coming First; Theme Park Next?
"The Hunger Games" craze is not slowing down, or at least that's what Lionsgate is hoping.
In 2015, heroine Katniss Everdeen, who is played by Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence, and the rest of the characters will be touring the United States. Lionsgate Entertainment announced that "The Hunger Games: The Exhibition" will visit U.S. cities next summer, USA Today said.
The exhibition will be showcased in major museums, and there will be interactive displays accompanying the costumes, props and other things exclusive to "Hunger Games." Artifacts from the first three movies will also be included.
Lionsgate added that Jenefer Brown, of the Thinkwell Group, will be exploring "additional theme park attraction and other location-based entertainment opportunities around the world."
The tour will take place months before the fourth film is released, and movie tickets will also be sold during the tour.
Late last year Jon Feltheimer, the Lionsgate CEO, discussed the possibility of a theme park.
"We have been approached in two different territories about potential theme park opportunities, which gives you a sense of the cultural impact of this franchise," he said. "We are excited about those opportunities and are pursuing them."
The cast is currently shooting "Hunger Games: Mockingjay 2" in Berlin.
Liam Hemsworth was recently injured on set. But the production was not delayed, and he was able to get right back to work without even taking a day off, E! said.
The movie was also in the news recently when Rush Limbaugh said that "The Hunger Games" was responsible for the murders that happened at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
"Do you know what the 'Hunger Games' movies are about?" he asked. "This is crucial! This is what this guy's dad did. It's teenagers killing other teenagers. Why not blame Hollywood movies here? Oh, we can never, ever go there."
