I can't actually watch the clip since MTV vids are blocked from outside the US, was it any good? I like what I have seen from the movie so far. I haven't read any of the books but something tells me
The Hunger Games will surprise a few people when it opens March 23rd. And just in case you haven't heard this yet, here is Arcade Fire's brilliant new song for the movie, "Abraham's Daughter"..
UPDATE: And, here is over 6 minutes of B-roll footage from the movie..
“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.”
The Hunger Games is directed by Gary Ross and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Lenny Kravitz, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Isabelle Fuhrman, Willow Shields, Amandla Stenberg, and Wes Bentley.
