As
mentioned above Lionsgate entertainment has an expansive selection of films
that it distributes and produces, probably most notably: the Saw franchise is
centred around John Kramer, a bitter old man with terminal cancer who after the
loss of his unborn son to fleeing drug addict and eventual divorce of his wife
turns to testing the fabric of the human body and mind with brutal death
machines designed to make the prisoner choose between life or death. The series
ran for seven film, two tie in videogames and a single one off comic.On
the other end of the spectrum is LOL, a coming of age high school comedy drama
is a film following Lola Williams and her friends as they deal with high school
life and each other in a world that is constantly connected by the social
media. This one off film, for the most part got a negative reception but does
show the range of films Lionsgate Entertainment is involved with.
Lionsgate Entertainment was formed in 1997 by Frank Guista.
Lionsgate is known for having a large and varied library of distributed and
produced films and television programs from saw and the Hunger Games franchises
to Mad Men and Hells Kitchen though most people associate the company with
macabre and often controversial productions.
Somewhere
in between the two extremes are films like The Hunger Games and its upcoming
sequel: Catching Fire. Both are adaptations in a series of Teen books written
by Susan Collins following a teenage girl thrown into a televised life and
death game in a dystopian future United States. The film does well for it’s
fairly family friendly 12 certificate in keeping with fans of the books (which
are considerably violent) happy.
I enjoyed reading this. It has a lot of concise information and you can tell you've done your research.
