Much to the relief of "Hunger Games" fans worldwide, Lionsgate finally has debuted its first full-fledged trailer for the dystopian adventure due out March 23.
In a few short minutes we meet vulnerable but strong heroine Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and her fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and see the ostentatious Capitol http://www.real-estate.com/ that serves as a brilliant contrast to the poor, drab environments that make up District 12, from which both Mellark and Everdeen hail.
For "The Hunger Games" uninitiated, Suzanne Collins' bestselling novel depicts a future in which the opulent Capitol rules the planet and the majority of districts are impoverished nations that must serve the central government. As a reminder of a previous uprising against the Capitol, an annual "Hunger Game" contest is put into place https://www.redfin.com/ Hunger Games winner, now a useless drunk who serves as Peeta and Katniss' biggest ally.
Katniss' District 12 pal, and unrequited love, Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), is given prominent placement in the trailer, suggesting that the character who mostly appears in Katniss' memories throughout the book will receive some solid screen time in the upcoming movie.
The trailer will debut on the big screen this weekend in front of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 1." Check it out below.
