Watch the Awesome New Trailer for The Hunger Games

Here it is, the brand new trailer for The Hunger Games. Does it exceed what we saw in the teaser trailer? Well, yes, but that wouldn’t be very hard as the teaser trailer really showed us nothing but Katniss and some trees. However, I’m pleased to say that the brand new trailer looks pretty special and incredibly close to the source material. The Hunger Games is based on the best selling novel by Suzanne Collins, the first in a trilogy. Check out the trailer below. You can read all of our coverage of The Hunger Games here . But if you’re not familiar with The Hunger Games, here’s the official synopsis

The Hunger Games Official Synopsis / Plot Summary / Storyline

In a not-too-distant future, the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss’ young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district’s female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives.
