HUNGER GAMES Trailer Debuts
The first full-length trailer for The Hunger Games is set to debut on Good Morning America Monday during the 8 a.m. hour. It will also be displayed on GMA‘s jumbotron in Times Square.
Josh Hutcherson, who plays Peeta Mellark in the movie, will introduce the trailer. The movie, starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen is based on the first book in Suzanne Collins’ trilogy and is scheduled for release on 3/23/12.
The second in the series, Catching Fire is scheduled for Nov. 22, 2013. In keeping with the traditions set by the Harry Potter and Twilight franchises, the final book in the series, Mockingjay, may be divided into two films, but no announcements have been made about that yet.

Liam Hemsworth … Gale Hawthorne
Stanley Tucci … Caesar Flickerman
Woody Harrelson … Haymitch Abernathy
Elizabeth Banks … Effie Trinket

Two tie-ins are being released; an Official Illustrated Movie Companion as well as a regular tie-in edition. Both will be released by Scholastic on Feb. 7.
