Trailer For THE HUNGER GAMES

Now I've never read the books for The Hunger Games, so I don't really know much about it except for what everyone keeps on saying. I'm hearing that it's fantastic, a ton of action, and just so much more good details that I am slightly interested in the books. But I guess I'll have to make due with the movies for now. And as far as the first movie goes, well, okay. The trailer was good in that it definitely brought everyone who has no idea what the plot is up to speed. That was definitely a smart idea if I do say so myself. All I know is that with the next trailer that comes out, it absolutely has to show some of the action sequences I've heard so much about. If they decide to show the action in the next trailer, and if the action sequences are good, the I'll completely be sold into the movie. For now, consider me halfway there. The acting does seem pretty solid though, lead by the wonderful and beautiful Jennifer Lawrence.

Hit the jump for the trailer. The film also stars Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Lenny Kravitz, and Donald Sutherland. The Hunger Games opens March 23, 2012.

Here's the official synopsis.

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. THE HUNGER GAMES is directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 16 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following.
