If you’re a fan of the series, you probably have already heard that a movie adaptation of The Hunger Games is going to be released next year in March. Even if you aren’t a fan of the series, you may have already seen the first official trailer of The Hunger Games, which was released on November 14.
The trailer portrays the life of the main character, Katniss, before her sister is selected to participate in the Games, and how her life is drastically changed after. It also introduces the two main male characters of the series, Gale and Peeta. It follows Katniss and Peeta, who are also chosen, through the preparations for the Games, which include a makeover of sorts and survival training. The trailer ends with a heart pounding scene where the participants are being told to “GO.”
Concise but informative, the trailer provided an admirable introduction to the series and did an excellent job of convincing people to watch the movie.
If the movie is anything like this first trailer, The Hunger Games movie promises to be as suspenseful and captivating as the books.
