Suzanne Collin’s best selling novel ‘The Hunger Games’ has most likely been selling copies by the bucketload since the Gary Ross helmed feature adaption kicked into gear. Let’s just hope this new trilogy adaption turns out more ‘Harry Potter’ than ‘Twilight’. Another new behind the scenes still of Jennifer Lawrence in her role as the young Katniss has been revealed. I reckon by now we’ve seen her from every conceivable angle on set so it’ll be nice to see something a little different in the near future. The ‘Winter’s Bone’ actress will be joined by the likes of Josh Hutcherson (‘The Vampire’s Assistant’), Elizabeth Banks (‘Slither’), Willow Shields, Stanley Tucci (‘The Lovely bones’), Woody Harrelson (‘Zombieland’), Toby Jones (‘The Mist’, ‘St Trinian’s) and Wes Bentley (‘P2’). Check out the new still below.
“In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss’ young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district’s female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.”
‘The Hunger Games’ opens on 23 March 2012.
