Lionsgate have released a massive amount of new images from The Hunger Games in their Movie Companion Guide many of which we’ve not seen before. The Hunger Games is potentially going to be one of the biggest movies of 2012 along with The Avengers (new trailer just came out), The Dark Knight Rises, Skyfall and The Bourne Legacy and time will tell if it’s going to pay back on all the hype over the past year. I have high hopes that it will.
The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci and Elizabeth Banks, and will be released on March 23rd 2012.
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.
Absolutely love the costumes and makeup that they’ve used for this movie. I’ve still not read the book but I’m sure someone that has can tell me if these are the sort of stylings they envisioned.
I’ve placed a few images below but you can check out the full gallery here.
