Watch THE HUNGER GAMES Teaser Trailer

Lionsgate, as they threatened promised to do all week by inundating me and every other blog with hyperbolic press releases, last night debuted the first teaser trailer for The Hunger Games during last night's MTV 2011 Video Music Awards. Due March 23rd, The Hunger Games is set in a dystopian future in which a totalitarian government sits on what was once North America, and now controls the behaviour of those states through the distribution of food supplies. These states are then charged with sending a representative child between the age of 12 and 18 to battle to the death to feed their state. Jennifer Lawrence is our lead named Katniss, who volunteers to take the place of her younger sister in the games. Seabiscuit and Pleasentville director Gary Ross helms the adaptation of Suzanne Collins' book that was marketed at late teenagers, but also achieved a loyal adult following throughout the trilogy. Watch the new trailer below and can somebody please inform me of what I'm missing here as to why this movie is so hotly anticipated? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4WykpsmCq0
