The Hunger Games 2

Well, The Hunger Games is a huge hit, so naturally we need a sequel! There’s another novel that’s a sequel, but there’s an even faster way to cash in! Um, I mean, to get a sequel out: The Hunger Games 2! This would save money by using some of the same cast and the same crew on the same sets and locations, and it can clean up at the box office in the mean time while they’re preparing the production of the next book in the trilogy! So what happens in The Hunger Games 2? Well, the plot is really simple: They have the annual lottery for selecting what kids must fight in the titular “Hunger Games”, and wouldn’t you know it, but Katniss Everdeen’s sister Primrose is chosen to fight again! Wow: what are the chances of that happening? And, naturally, Katniss volunteers to fight in her sister’s place once again! And so the movie plays out like the first movie, but with different people getting killed and Katniss winning the day again! (Hooray!) And then, after this movie rakes in the money, they could make The Hunger Games 3, where against all odds, Katniss’s sister is chosen in the lottery again, only this time, she’s jealous of Katniss’s fame and stuff, so she wants to actually fight in the Hunger Games herself, so she can become just as famous; but Katniss is so drunk with power and fame that she won’t allow it. So this time Katniss and her sister fight to the death over who will get to fight to the death in the Hunger Games. And so Primrose is led down the primrose path into a deadly duel by her own sister, the one who had saved her twice before from suffering just such a fate: oh, the irony!
