Here’s a lovely new image from The Hunger Games which as I mentioned in the title, shows Stanley Tucci looking like he’s been in a tanning salon a little too long! He’s joined with Jennifer Lawrence who plays the main character Katniss in the movie which is set for release 23rd March.
From memory, The Hunger Games is the first of 2012 which you’d class as a blockbuster (feel free to shout out all the ones i’ve forgotten!) with an awful lot of time and money being put in from Lionsgate and people are expecting big things from what could be the next big franchise – time will tell!
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.
