A feature length, eight part documentary that covers everything from pre-production to adapting the source novel to casting to shooting to post and marketing. This is an amazing in-depth piece and it's notable how many women were involved in this production, from several Lionsgate executives to novelist Suzanne Collins herself. Jennifer Lawrence talks about her "hypocrisy" in not wanting to do a big budget blockbuster after having devoted herself to indies (despite X-Men, which she seems to discount somewhat). There's also a nice sequence on the strength and weight training the actors went through and the stunts that are so notable in the film, as well as having to dance around the violence implicit in the story due to the planned PG-13 rating the filmmakers were aiming for.
An incredibly in depth and informative compendium of nine featurettes that address virtually every aspect of the film, from the adaptive process through the special effects, stunts and production design. There are a number of really well done interviews with most of the principal cast and crew.

Guitar hero, wild child, pop idol, Lenny Kravitz became one of the most distinctive personalities in music though his radiant fusion of psychedelic rock, funk and soul. After releasing 1989’s brilliant Let Love Rule, singles like Are You Gonna Go My Way and Fly Away made the singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist one of the most popular and critically acclaimed musicians of the late ’90s. Kravitz’ tenth studio album, Strut, continues his reign as a visceral force in rock ’n’ roll. The arresting North London four-piece Wolf Alice combine a blur of distorted guitars and thumping drums with the fiery vocals of Ellie Rowsell.

Lenny Kravitz, live at Budokan in 1995 at the outset of his mature period as a rock star and r&b pioneer — inheritor, for the MTV generation, of the great traditions of funk, blues, classic rock, and pop. This is a hard-driving, nonstop muscial event, full of irresistibly sharp funk and scorching guitar, with the charisma of Lenny himself always front and center. Never easily categorized, Lenny was busy defying record-label pressures and carrying on the styles in "black rock" established by Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton, Prince, and others. The new album was the now famous "Circles" — with intense and extended grooves developed here from that album's beloved songs, the title track and "Can't Get You Off My Mind" among them. Other early hits include "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over" and "Are You Gonna Go My Way." But the most exciting thing is the command Lenny shows of his big sound, and his own way of making music. Here is Lenny Kravitz, coming into his own.
