Lenny, Woody, Elizabeth and the whole gang - The Hunger Games Character Posters((tag: xavierpop, film, pop-culture, nerdiness, tumblrize,Alexander Ludwig,Hunger Games,Jennifer Lawrence,Josh Hutcherson,Lenny Kravitz,Liam Hemsworth,Suzanne Collins,Woody Har

The Hunger Games marketing is starting to bring out some of the good stuff. The teaser trailer that dropped really didn't show anything but it did create a bit of a frenzy around the movie.

Based on the Suzanne Collins' book trilogy, the studio is betting pretty heavily on Hunger Games reaching Twilight craziness and hence a franchise they can count on.

I haven't read the books yet and based on what I have seen so far, I am not really feeling this...yet.

Let's see what comes up after this.

For now we are given character posters of the main characters. We get our first look at at Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, Lenny Kravitz as Cinna, Elizabeth Banks as Effie, Amandia Stenberg as Rue, Alexander Ludwig as Cato, as well as some brooding looks at Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, Liam Hemsworth as Gale, and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta.

Hunger Games centers on Katniss, a young woman who must survive a televised fight to the death between her and teenagers from other the other districts of Panem. In the post-apocalyptic world of the book, North America is now referred to as Panem and is divided up into twelve districts that each specialize in manufacturing a specific good for the nation, which is all under control of the Capitol.

The movie opens March 23rd, 2012.

Here are the character posters:

Official Synopsis:

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.

Time for Breaking Prawn!! (get it?) - The Final, Final, Final Muppet Parody Trailer

 

"A Night out the movies would have been nice..and then the Muppets had to go out and ruin it." - Statdler and Waldorf

I am very glad that this final Muppet Parody trailer is dropping. Partly because while I love the parodies, it's time to get on with the movie and other part is because...well, it's time to get on with the damn movie.

To say I am eager about this film is an obvious understatement as readers of this site know, I love me these Muppets something fierce.

So far, all the marketing has been exemplary. The frenzy that it has whipped up has made everyone a believer and should translate well into box office numbers.

This latest and last trailer definitely brings it. We get parodies of Twilight, Puss In Boots, Happy Feet, a pretty awesome Paranormal Activity one and the best one of all, a parody of its own parody trailer.

You still with me?

Well on to the trailer.
(btw..how brilliant is Kermit's reaction at the very end?)
