Best-selling trilogy and blockbuster film franchise 'The Hunger Games' is set to be made into a stage show in summer 2016, it has been announced.
The 'innovative' stage adaptation will launch in a purpose-built theatre next to Wembley Stadium in London.
It will be created by Robin de Levita, who was behind a Dutch stage show about World War Two diarist Anne Frank.
The movie adaptations of The Hunger Games have taken around 946m pound at the worldwide box office.
The latest instalment, 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1', will be released in cinemas later this month.
Based on the novels of Suzanne Collins, the dystopian tales follow the fortunes of Katniss Everdeen, who becomes a reluctant reality show heroine.
"The theatre is a fantastic medium to bring the many meaningful layers of Suzanne Collins' writing to life," said Broadway producer Mr de Levita.
No further details of the production, or the plans to build a new theatre to accommodate it, have been disclosed.
