That’s right — there is now a Katniss Barbie doll. And if anyone messes with Skipper, she is gonna be pissed.

Psst, Hunger Games fans — District 12 is for sale! As long as you have $1.4 million. Surely 1.4 million of you are willing to contribute just $1, right?

“My interpretation was that while Katniss had developed strong feelings for Peeta, those feeling were also circumstantial. I think her heart belongs to Gale. Also: Liam Hemsworth. Come on.”

Doc Jenson saw Hunger Games: The Movie but didn’t read Hunger Games: The Book. Here’s a rundown of his resulting opinions, theories, and mild confusion. (Q: “Did you notice what was significant about the servants in the Capitol?” A: “No. What was significant about them?”)

‘Hunger Games’: Jennifer Lawrence ‘should be nominated’ for an Oscar for work as Katniss

With less than two months to go before the March 23 premiere of The Hunger Games, the first installment of Suzanne Collins’ breathlessly addicting Mockingjay trilogy, director Gary Ross is already predicting the possibility of another nomination for his 21-year-old star Jennifer Lawrence come next year’s Oscars. “The range in this performance, the emotional terrain that she investigates, the demands of what this role are,” he raves of Lawrence’s portrayal of series heroine Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old forced alongside other children into a televised fight-to-the-death. “It’s such an intensely physical role and an emotional one. She carries the entire movie. To be able to do that at that age is so kind of incredible that I was in a little bit of awe. Do I think she should be nominated? Absolutely.”

Everyone who has read Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games has a specific mental image of what this world and its characters should look like, especially certain crucial scenes like the opening ceremonies of the Games. Well, bravo, Gary Ross and company. In this exclusive photo from the moments just before their introduction, Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) readies a final flaming flourish to Peeta and Katniss’s black costumes. “This is one of those moments where Cinna’s character syncs up with the creativity of our costume designer Judianna Makovsky,” says Ross. (Makovsky earned Oscar nominations for her work on Ross’ previous movies Pleasantville and Seabiscuit.) “What Cinna was trying to do was create something that came out of District 12, out of a coal mining world, with a fresh, bold look to it. So Judianna went to this wonderful black reflective material that glistened like coal or graphite and would obviously work well in the Tribute parade where Katniss becomes the Girl on Fire.”

We’re just a couple months away from the March 23 release date of the hotly anticipated adaptation of the beloved young adult murderfest The Hunger Games. And yet, information about the film is still trickling out slowly — a trailer here, a poster there, plus the occasional Taylor Swift funeral dirge. Satiate yourself with this just-released image of Katniss and Peeta lollygagging around the training center in their matching District 12 workout clothes. The clothes look like vintage X-Men costumes reimagined as Rugby uniforms by a Soviet fashion designer. In short, I just discovered my gym outfit.

Welcome to District 12, the poorest little frontier village in the dystopian society of Panem. I always pictured Katniss Everdeen’s hometown as an unremittingly bleak, monochromatic place — sort of like Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, or like Chino on The O.C. — but I’m intrigued by the film’s portrayal, which looks a little bit like Tom Sawyer’s Island. Except, you know, with an electric fence and miserable poverty. ‘Hunger Games’: Let’s Dissect the Trailer!

Director Gary Ross on Liam Hemsworth, here with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss: ”On first glance he’s such a hunk that it’s easy to ascribe a hunklike simplicity to him. But this is a phenomenally subtle actor, totally in control of what he was doing.”

If EW gets another interview with Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss Everdeen), could you ask her how much drawback weight her bow is? Thanks.

Though I have no idea what that means, I will do my darndest to make sure it happens because I love both the question and your username.

I must get Entertainment Weekly.
