14 DAY TRIAL // “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” the second installment in the hit film franchise, will be out in theaters worldwide starting November 22 but, until that happens and we get to see Katniss Everdeen & Co. again, here’s something to keep you going.
Lorde, aka the amazing 16-year-old singer behind one of this year’s biggest hits, “Royals,” has recorded a cover of Tears for Fears’ classic “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” for the movie OST.
Lorde’s version is embedded below, while the video on top is the original song. You know, if you feel the need to compare between the two although, honestly speaking, I think they’re two different things altogether.
“Catching Fire” reunites Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) in the Arena, this time as a couple fighting other Tributes. The film also stars Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Lenny Kravitz, Donald Sutherland, and Liam Hemsworth, and is now getting limited release in select theaters around the world.
Initial reviews are positive, though some do note that there appears to be a certain glamorization of violence that seems to serve no purpose. Critics saying that probably didn’t read the books.
Check out Lorde’s amazing cover and let me know what you make of it in the comments section below.
