Lionsgate has revealed the teaser trailer for the feature adaptation of the best-selling Suzanne Collins novel The Hunger Games [HGAME] during Sunday's VMA on MTV. Set in a dyspotic future, the action adventure stars Jennifer Lawrence [JLAWR] as Katniss, who is chosen to enter a nationally televised competition where twleve boys and twelve girls must fight each other until the last surviving duo are declared the winner. Yes, it sounds very similar to the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale. Lionsgate is following the marketing playbook established by Summit with Twilight. Time will tell whether The Hunger Games becomes another runaway success.
