Lionsgate and Kabam Partner to Create 'The Hunger Games' Mobile Game

Kabam, a world leader in free-to-play games for traditional players, today announced that it has partnered with Lionsgate to create a mobile game based on The Hunger Games franchise.

Kabam will produce an exclusive role playing, card collection mobile game that will deliver the action of the blockbuster film into the hands of avid fans around the world. In the game, players assume the identity of District members sent on a mission in order to build their alliance, liberate their District, and rebuild Panem.

“We are so pleased to be working with Kabam to give the fans an experience like they have never had before,” said Danielle DePalma, Lionsgate’s EVP of Digital Media. “Being able to role-play with the mentors straight from the world of The Hunger Games will let fans feel as if they are in the middle of the action.”

The game will be developed in Kabam's China studio, the same place where the hit movie based game The Hobbit: Kingdoms of Middle-earth was created and went on to generate more than $100 million in revenue during its first year.

Lionsgate To Launch Interactive "The Hunger Games: The Exhibition" In Summer 2015

Lionsgate will launch a U.S. tour of “The Hunger Games: The Exhibition” in summer 2015, it was announced today by Lionsgate Chief Marketing Officer Tim Palen. The state-of-the-art exhibition, which will include interactive displays of authentic costumes, props and other elements of the world of The Hunger Games, will be designed in conjunction with Thinkwell Group, one of the world’s leading theme park and location-based entertainment companies. (Thinkwell are the people behind The Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour outside London, which is pretty impressive if you haven't seen it.)

“The Hunger Games: The Exhibition” will launch several months ahead of the November 20, 2015 worldwide release of the fourth Hunger Games film, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, and will incorporate artifacts featured in the first three films from locations within the Capitol and the various Districts of Panem. The exhibition will be featured in major museums and institutions across the country and will be supported by a multimedia promotional effort and nationwide advance ticket sales.

“Now that we’ve built a critical mass of intellectual property, we’re committed to extending our brands into exciting new businesses that create opportunities for our fans to engage with our properties at the same time they deliver significant incremental financial benefits to Lionsgate,” said Palen. “We’re thrilled to launch this initiative with the U.S. tour of The Hunger Games exhibition, which celebrates the world of The Hunger Games and offers Hunger Games fans an extensive behind-the-scenes look at the movie-making process.” He noted that the exhibits will also be paired with local school curricula, and nearly all aspects of the tour will be interactive.

Palen also announced that, as part of the studio’s commitment to expand its branded retail and merchandising operations, it has brought veteran Thinkwell executive Jenefer Brown in-house, naming her to the newly created post of Senior Vice President, Branded Attractions. Brown will not only oversee the launch of the U.S. tour of The Hunger Games exhibition but will explore additional theme park attraction and other location-based entertainment opportunities around the world for The Hunger Games franchise and the Company’s entire portfolio of branded properties.

VIDEO: Sam Claflin Has a Bizarre Party Trick and "A Real Issue With Trousers"

Sam Claflin was one of 20 different cover stars of Hunger Magazine's Mighty Blighty issue that came out back in February (we posted the photos and entire article HERE if you want to re-read).

Today they posted a never-before-released video from his photo shoot, and they asked Sam all about his most embarasing moments which include this little gem: "I have a real issue with trousers. Pretty much every part and every character I've ever played my trouser will split up the crotch."

Oh, and don't miss his freaky party trick.

Jena Malone Says She "Finished Shooting Everything 2 Weeks Ago" for 'Mockingjay'

On June 3, Jena Malone's band The Shoe will release I’m OK — its first full-length album since forming in 2008 (pre-orders are available here).

Refinery29 talked to Jena and her musical soulmate Lem Jay Ignacio at Ignacio’s garage studio in Los Angeles, where the album was recorded. Besides talking about the band and the upcoming record, they touched on The Hunger Games (of course) as Jena plays Johanna Mason in Catching Fire and the upcoming Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2. Jena let it slip that she's finished shooting her part in the films (!!!) and talked about the types of roles she's drawn to and inspiring teenagers, "I feel like they are the true revolutionaries. We should be doing everything for them."

From Refinery29:

Speaking of your other job, have you finished shooting everything for the next Hunger Games?
JM: "I just finished shooting everything two weeks ago. It’s crazy. I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say that. We are finishing in June. But, they are so secretive. It is so crazy. We will wrap and then never play these characters ever again. I’m a little sad about it."

LJ: "She was really sad. She was like, 'I’m never going to do the character again!'"

JM: "It is kind of a strange thing, I don’t know. I’m hoping that I found all of the pieces. I’ve never carried a character for two and a half to three years before."

What do you think your appeal is to broken but badass chicks?
JM: "I have played a lot of them. I might have represented a part of their heart on film, at different times in my life. When I was younger, I was really more drawn to those types of characters. I wanted some real meat in a role; I didn’t want to play the girlfriend or the daughter. I want to be challenging myself. But, the older I get, the more I want to just create things for teenagers. I want to inspire them and knock them down. I want them to skin their knees and then I want to lift them up. I feel like they are the true revolutionaries. We should be doing everything for them."

Teenagers really relate to characters like that. They connect to the underdog or the badass.
JM: "The way that they have latched on to Katniss Everdeen [and] the whole Hunger Games. Who doesn’t want to be that woman? There is no self there. It isn’t self-centered. It isn’t about her being pretty or using her sexuality. It is all about her using her strength. She sacrifices herself for love. It is amazing that 13-year-old girls are looking at that and saying, 'She is my hero.'"

As opposed to Disney princesses.
JM: "As opposed to Alicia Silverstone in Clueless in 1995. Things are now on a completely different spectrum. I think that we tapped into a collective consciousness kind of thing; young men and women who want to be treated more like adults and the way that they view films and how they are portrayed in films."
