The Hunger Games is an upcoming movie based on a young adult novel written by Suzanne Collins. The story takes place in the future where one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts are chosen to compete in a deadly game where only one can survive. The basic plot summary is similar to Battle Royal (an awesome Japanese movie finally coming to U.S. home video in March).

In the photo, we see Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) getting ready for the opening ceremony.

The Hunger Games is being helmed by Gary Ross, who directed Seabiscuit and Pleasantville. I’m surprised Tobey Maguire isn’t in this.

The Hunger Games hits theaters on March 23, 2012.
