BOOM: HUNGER GAMES!

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?”)

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.

Here’s an excerpt from our interview with Collins and Ross; read the whole thing at EW.com.

Suzanne Collins: And you know people may get thrown, say, by the color of an actor’s hair or maybe something physical, but I tell you: If Josh had been bright purple and had had six foot wings and had had six foot wings and gave that audition, I’d have been like “Cast him! We can work around the wings.” He was that good…

I love Peeta. The character is so much who I am—self deprecating, a people person. And he’d be such a great character to play! Like in the third book? Oh my God.

Boy with the bread hopeful Josh Hutcherson. Now that Jennifer Lawrence is in, how long do you think we’ll have to wait before we know who’ll play Peeta? (via the-hob)
