'The Hunger Games' Town Up For Sale

Friday, April 06, 2012

Do you want to own Peeta Mellark's family bakery or Katniss Everdeen's family home from "The Hunger Games"? You're in luck, the entire town of Henry Mill Village where scenes for District 12 were filmed is on the auction block. The catch? Just make sure you have a cool $1.4 million lying around. Wade Shepherd, the owner of the 72-acre property near Hildebran, North Carolina is putting the town up for sale after the village's recent popularity among fans visiting the now vacant area.

If you could have any prop from any movie, what would you want?

I want the pole that Jessica Alba danced on in Sin City. Actually, I want to BE that pole.

I would like the Maltese Falcon, because that truly is "what dreams are made of."

I want either the AK-47 that Charlie Sheen raises above his head when he shouts "Wolverines" from Red Dawn, or the can of generic food that just says "Food" that Emilio Estivez was eating from in Repo Man.

I'd like to have the red 1961 Ferrari 250GT from Ferris Bueller's Day Off movie. Is that too much to ask for?

Steven McQueen's Mustang and wardrobe from 1968's Bullitt. Though it will probably attract more atomic wedgies than lovely ladies.

@Ryan Last I remember, Cameron's Highland Park Chicago home is up for sale.
