THE HUNGER GAMES #2 Trailer Plays It Safe

03 February 2012

The new trailer to the movie adaptation of Suzanne Collin's best-selling novel is out but don't expect much more of a reveal to most anticipated movie of 2012.  In new THE HUNGER GAMES movie trailer, much of the same footage from the first preview remains with glimpses of new scenes with a glamorous looking Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss. The trailer will also be shown during the Super Bowl on Sunday.

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.
