Trailer for The Hunger Games

The first trailer for the highly anticipated adaptation of the novel The Hunger Games has arrived. The film stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, and many other recognizable names with the story set in a future where random boys and girls are selected to fight to the death on live television. The Hunger Games is slated to release on March 23rd 2012.

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.
