This trailer hit the Web a few days ago and I still can’t tear my eyes away from it:

Holy Epic Moviefilm, Batman!

Having just finished Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy, I’ve been ecstatic to see how it was all going to play out on the big screen. The trailer is beautifully edited and executed. Panem looks exactly how I pictured it, without being overly futuristic. And Jennifer Lawrence? Been a fan of hers since Winter’s Bone. I just know she can nail Katniss’s ferocity, fragility and heart.

In case you aren’t exactly sure from watching the trailer, The Hunger Games introduces sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where the United States once existed. The government works in a central city called the Capitol and holds all of the power over 12 different districts. The actual Hunger Games are an annual televised event where the Capitol chooses one boy and one girl aged 12 to 18 from each of 12 districts for a massive televised battle in which only one person can survive. The books are fast-paced, exploding with character and creativity, and are highly, highly recommended here at The Winz.

See you in March, Katniss.  Game on.
