Of course, you may have already known that. Based on one of the bestselling series of books in recent years, The Hunger Games has been drawing comparisons to that one movie about Vampires and Werewolves. Perhaps more than any video that’s been released thus far, this spot conveys the epic size and scope of the Capitol city of Panem. We also get a few more seconds of footage from Katniss’ conversation with Cinna, which we first saw in a clip yesterday.

The Hunger Games opens March 23rd, 2012.

Synopsis: Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. THE HUNGER GAMES is directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 16 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following.
