Since you probably didn't watch last night's Video Music Awards on MTV — because of the hurricane or because literally anything else would be a better use of your time — you might not know that the very first footage from the upcoming Hunger Games adaptation premiered during the show.¹ Like most early trailers, this one doesn't give us a lot of new insight; it's basically a minute of star Jennifer Lawrence running from fireballs. But my obsession with these books borders on psychotic, and I had to talk myself out of writing a post about the crappy poster Lionsgate released a few weeks ago, so there was just no way this wasn't going to show up here:
That's not to say there's nothing to talk about here, though. At least we can confidently say that Jennifer Lawrence can believably handle a bow and arrow! Burning questions we're solving here, folks.
¹ In case you don't know, it's the story of a culture that entertains itself by watching teenagers tear each other apart. Oh, and The Hunger Games is a successful YA novel.
