First Look at Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss in THE HUNGER GAMES

 

Here is your first look at Jennifer Lawrence as the main character Katiness Everdeen in The Hunger Games. The movie hasn't even started shooting yet, but that didn't stop Lionsgate from getting a photo of Lawrence in full costume for the cover of Entertainment Weekly. I don't know about the rest of you, but I think Lawrence looks freakin' great in role! She definitely slimmed down for the role. What do you all think?

The upcoming EW issue will have a full interview with Lawrence talking about the role. Here's an example of what's been released.

He (Gary Ross) was asking me what the experience [of Awards Season] was like and I just kind of opened up and said, ‘I feel like a rag doll. I have hair and makeup people coming to my house every day and putting me in new, uncomfortable, weird dresses and expensive shoes, and I just shut down and raise my arms up for them to get the dress on, and pout my lips when they need to put the lipstick on.’ And we both started laughing because that’s exactly what it’s like for Katniss in the Capitol. She was a girl who’s all of a sudden being introduced to fame. I know what that feels like to have all this flurry around you and feel like, ‘Oh, no, I don’t belong here.’

The Hunger Games takes place in the futuristic ruins of North America, which crumbled and was replaced by a Capitol and 12 districts. Each district is forced to supply 2 teenagers, between 12 and 18. They participate in The Hunger Games, a televised reality series that pits the contestants against one another in a battle to the death. The heroine is 16-year old Katniss Everdeen, a skilled hunter who’s adept with a bow and arrow. She replaces her younger sister, who was chosen in a lottery. She is joined by a baker's son who is also chosen from her dirt poor home district.
