A teaser for the teaser premiered on MTV.

As far as physical appearances go, Lawrence is neither "olive-skinned," "gray-eyed," or even a natural brunette. Unless her acting is solid, I'm not a fan.
I'm also surprised that they finished filming so quickly. I hope they didn't skimp on details too much. Maybe Hollywood was eager to cash in on this series?

Hunger Games will either flop miserably or succeed wildly…it will probably make a lot of money, however. I'm liking the music & Effie Trinket (of all things.) The casting seems solid, (still not sure about Josh Hutcherson and to some extent, Jennifer Lawrence), & the script seems faithful to the book. Then again, Suzanne Collins was heavily involved, so fans are sure to be happy with continuity etc. I'll be in theaters March 23, of course.

Apart from that Peeta casting fail the trailer was pretty good and accurate to the books including the wigs. The guy playing Gale is better than I expected, good casting there. I expected the Capitol to look more superficially glamorous but I like what Lionsgate did. I liked that the trailer stopped right before the bloodbath begins so much to look forward to.

I mean that to me is what this whole thing is about. Sure there's the whole "rise against the man!" but to me it was always about how Katniss protected her sister. Maybe it's the PMS, but that line had me in tears.

And maybe it's just Gale the character in general, but even in the trailer (as in the books) I want to punch him in the face. I wanted to hit him even before the last book.

The characters are strong and it looks as though the action sequences (starting around the end of the trailer) are going to be filmed really well. It seems to stay faithful to the novel but I'm also curious to see how "gory" they are able to make it considering the books didn't hold back – I don't want it to come out jokey.

As a fan of the books, this looks pretty damn faithful. Trust, after that running in the field, it's an all out bloodbath. Not sure how they are going to portray that in a PG-13, but I'm feeling optimistic about this.

Physically, I still think Lawrence and Hutcherson are wrong but the acting looks fine and it's a much better trailer than I expected. I still don't see how this is going to work as PG-13 with all the violence and death perpetrated by children. Not interested in the sequel as the series goes to shite after the first book.
