Even though the movie hasn't actually started shooting yet, Lionsgate have managed to get a pic of the actress in character on the cover of this month's Entertainment Weekly. What do you think
Hunger Games fans, does she look the part? The film is based on the hugely popular novel by Suzanne Collins. I haven't read it myself(sounded a bit too "American Battle Royale" for me") but by all accounts it's a very good read. For those unfamiliar with the story, here is a synopsis..
In a not-too-distant future, North 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.
