The 'Hunger Games Imposters' are a series of artworks that imagines what it would be like if other famous directors had been in charge of The Hunger Games. With the recent craze of the movie taking the world by storm, more and more people have begun to make their own spoofs.
If The Hunger Games was directed by Garry Marshal, who directed 'New Year's Eve' and 'Valentine's Day,' it would most likely turn into a cheesy comedy that was overflowing with celebrities; however, if the film were directed by Michael Bay, it would instantly become a festival of attractive women and explosions.
The Hunger Games Imposters are just one example of how someone can put their own spin on a popular topic.
