If you’d not been aware that The Hunger Games — the upcoming adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ best-selling YA trilogy — is a very big deal, last night’s MTV VMAs certainly made the point. Sandwiched between the usual assortment of things that were actually weird and/or exciting (the Jay-Bey baby!) and things trying very hard to seem weird and/or exciting (Dude Gaga) was The world! Premiere! Of The Hunger Games teaser! Nevermind that it was a skimpy clip with barely any footage. What did we actually see? Katniss Everdeen (played by Jennifer Lawrence), the dystopian trilogy’s hero — a teen girl fighting for her life in a super messed-up Battle Royale-type situation — running through the woods and shooting an arrow at nothing in particular. Cool fireballs, though.
Just Because They’ve Barely Shot Any of the Hunger Games Movie Doesn’t Mean It Can’t Have a Teaser
