About THE HUNGER GAMES
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the
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.
Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen volunteers in her younger
sister’s place to enter the games, and is forced to rely upon her sharp
instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy
when she’s pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these
Games their entire lives. 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, with a screenplay
by Gary Ross and Suzanne Collins and Billy Ray, 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 26 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a
massive global following. It has spent more than 180 consecutive weeks/more
than three consecutive years to date on The New York Times bestseller list
since its publication in September 2008, and has also appeared consistently on
USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists.
Lionsgate will release THE HUNGER GAMES on
March 23, 2012.
