New Hunger Games Trailer, Jennifer Lawrence portrays Katniss Everdeen in a scene from “The Hunger Games,” set for release on March 23.  The Mockingjay has landed.

With just 50 days away until “The Hunger Games” hits theaters, Lionsgate released a new trailer for the eagerly awaited first installment in the trilogy based on Suzanne Collins’ trilogy.

Set in a dystopian future where 12- to 18-year olds in the outlying districts are subjected to a lottery to produce 24 “tributes” that have to battle to the death for the ammusement of the capital city of Panem, “The Hunger Games” introduces straight-shooting (so to speak) heroine Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) to moviegoers.

The minute-long clip shows more of Katniss volunteering to go to certain death in the games in place of younger sister Primrose (Willow Shields). It sets up the love triangle involving Katniss’ hunting partner Gale (Liam Hemsworth) and her fellow “Hunger Games” competitor Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) that will be at heart of the trilogy.

The trailer also gives a cool look at the capital city of Panem, a hive of scum and villainy in the books that makes Mos Eisley look like Disneyland.

“Be stronger than they are,” says Gale in the clip.

“There are 24 of us, Gale, only one of us comes out,” answers Katniss.
