New “Hunger Games” Clip Released.

This one features an encounter between stars Lenny Kravitz and Jennifer Lawrence. Unfortunately, it’s not embeddable here, so I’ll direct you to HeyUGuys, where you can watch the clip.

The big-screen adaptation of Suzann Collins’ best-selling YA series opens in the USA later this month. The advance buzz is getting killer and the consensus seems to be that it’s going to be pretty good. The book is on my bedside table right now, waiting to be read before I head to the multiplex.

For those among you who don’t know, here’s a synopsis:

“In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss’ young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district’s female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.”

And a trailer:
