The official Facebook page for next year’s THE HUNGER GAMES has given us the first official poster for the highly anticipated release, set to be the first movie in a franchise.
The movie, adapted from the book by Suzanne Collins, tells the story of Katniss, a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used to be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, “The Hunger Games.” The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Kat’s sister is chosen by lottery, Kat steps up to go in her place.
The movie is set to open in the U.S. on March 23, 2012 and stars Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss Everdeen), Josh Hutcherson (Peeta Mellark), Elizabeth Banks (Effie Trinket), Liam Hemsworth (Gale Hawthorne), Woody Harrelson (Haymitch Abernathy), Stanley Tucci (Caesar Flickerman), Willow Shields (Primrose Everdeen), Donald Sutherland (President Snow), Isabelle Fuhrman (Clove), Alexander Ludwig (Cato), Amandla Stenberg (Rue), Toby Jones (Claudius Templesmith) Lenny Kravitz (Cinna) and Wes Bentley (Seneca Crane).
