Lionsgate has released two new images of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta from The Hunger Games, which is set to hit theaters on March 23, 2012. Also, if you missed it, earlier today it was announced the sequel, Catching Fire, will be released on November 22, 2013.
The second image I added today is directly below and you can click here for a larger look in our Hunger Games gallery.
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
