There’s a new image from Gary Ross’s adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games online tonight and it’s a good look at the group of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta and Liam Hemsworth as Gale.
The Hunger Games has a pretty eclectic cast lining up alongside the three young actors here with Elizabeth Banks?, Lenny Kravitz??, Stanley Tucci and Woody Harrelson?? each taking a role in a film which is being talked up as The Next Big Thing*.
The image is below this lengthy synopsis, which most of you know already,
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.
ShockYa gave us the picture, enjoy.
The studio have asked us to take down the picture. Hopefully it’ll be relelased officially soon.
