Filming was going in the NC mountains about 3 miles from us this past summer. (Clearly, the first 20 seconds or so of the trailer.) Unfortunately, we never could get close enough to see anything, but still it was fun to know it was going on.

The trailer gives the impression that they might actually be faithful to the book. (Remembering Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 with a shudder.) The only thing that bothered me was the way you hear the announcer say "pan-EM" instead of "PAN-em." Maybe Suzanne Collins meant for it to be "pan-EM" (though given the derivation she gives of the name, that seems unlikely), but it just sound strange to me. I keep thinking Pan Am.

Really looking forward to the movie, now.
