Danny Strong to write Hunger Games: Mockingjay in yet another attempt to get us to stop calling him "Jonathan from Buffy"
The lucrative yet unenviable task of adapting the final installments of The Hunger Games franchise has fallen to one Danny Strong, who Variety notes is currently enjoying fame for his dual Emmy wins in an effort, as always, to distract from the fact that, no, he is famous for playing Jonathan on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Jonathan has employed these tactics with increasing frequency of late, scripting the HBO films Recount and Game Change and recently transforming their success into a gig adapting Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol and a CBS pilot, much like he once transformed into a demon to fight Buffy before she kicked him square in the stomach, revealing his strength to be an illusion.
