Alrighty, time to start The Hunger Games trilogy thread! Lets see if we can get this one to last through all three films!

The News...

At long last, after seemingly endless debate, speculation and rumors, MTV News has received exclusive confirmation that Jennifer Lawrence has landed the highly coveted role of Katniss Everdeen in the big-screen adaptation of "The Hunger Games."

...

"Hunger Games" author Suzanne Collins has already given Lawrence's casting her blessing, via a statement from the studio.

"Jennifer's just an incredible actress," Collins said. "So powerful, vulnerable, beautiful, unforgiving and brave. I never thought we'd find somebody this perfect for the role. And I can't wait for everyone to see her play it."


Looks like I'm going to have to watch Winter's Bone...

It'll be geared to appeal to Twilight fan-girls.

Fair warning.

Is this based on the book where the kids got to navigate an endless maze of stairs and via sadistic behaviour modification techniques, compete against each other (anti conformity theme here) for food?

No, this one is about a dysotopian future where children from 12 districts go to the Capitol to fight to the death in a gladiatoresque arena.
