The Host, ANOTHER STEPHENIE MEYER NOVEL; something called The Hunger Games ("Set in a post-apocalyptic future, the government hosts a televised event where twelve boys and twelve girls are randomly chosen to compete in a tournament where they kill each other until one stands." ANOTHER remake of ROLLERBALL?!?!?); something called The Ides of March aka Farragut North ("Adapted from the Beau Willimon play, the thriller centers on a communications officer who works for an unorthodox political candidate. During the process, he gets a good lesson in the real world and sees his idealism fly out the door. The story is loosely based on Willimon's experience working for Howard Dean's campaign." GEORGE CLOONEY!!!!! lets idealism FLY OUT THE DOOR?!?!?); ANOTHER REMAKE OF THE JUNGLE BOOK; The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, WRITTEN BY L.
