Which of these movies are you most pumped about?

My top four most anticipated:
#1 Tomorrow When the War began (SQUEEE!!!)
#2 The Hunger Games
#3 If I Stay
#4 The Book Thief

And, while not a huge fan of the books, I think Wings and Wicked Lovely will make stunning movies.

I just had to  make this poster large size because of it's general awesomeness.
Sorry if it overwhelms you, haha :)

  4. yay for major squealing :)

    I don't mind Miley Cyrus :) Although she's laying both Janey (Wake) and Laurel (Wings) who are such vastly different characters. will be good to see how well she portrays them. I think she's more suited to Laurel...

  6. I'm so, so excited for TWTWB! The trailers have been awesome and it looks like they have really captured the mood of the books. Also looking forward to Deathly Hallows too

    I think some of these books will work really well on screen (If I Stay, Wicked Lovely) and am always interested in seeing how a book translates into a movie

  10. 1. Harry Potter
    2. Hunger Games
    3. The Book Thief.

    I like some of the others too, but I'd probably wait to just get them on DVD. These ones I'd go to the theater for!!

  11. Miley has Wake and Wings? that seems a bit overdone...since both are based on paranormal YA novels. Oh well...never read Wings, but I still think she's a bit odd to play Janie in Wake. I'm excited for the film though and Miley is a good actress, in my opinion.

    But I'm sooo stoked for Harry Potter and If I Stay.

  12. Tomorrow When the War Began reminds me of the movie Red Dawn with Patrick Swayze. very similar premise. I am very excited about The Hunger Games Movie and the new Harry Potter trailer looks like this will be a lot better than the last one. Great post. Thanks

  17. Grr I hate Lincoln Lewis! Ok, well maybe not hate, but dislike him enough that it will ruin Tomorrow When the War Began for me... grrrrr

  18. Ugh, I'm not a Miley fan :( I might still give Wake a try though. I loved it.
    Didn't know Shiver had been optioned! I hope they do it justice!!
    So excited for Beautiful Creatures :)
