The Hunger Games is a story set in the future about 12 teenagers forcibly selected to compete in an annually televised battle to the death in what used to be the United States, but is now called the country of Panem. The film is based on the first novel in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins; a trilogy which has over 16 million copies in print in the United States. It was also the first book by a children’s or young adult author to sell over one million Kindle ebooks. The movie is scheduled to be released March 23rd, 2012.

Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Wes Bentley, Toby Jones, and many more, this film is expected to rank right up there with the Twilight series of movies when it comes to box office appeal. Below is the official synopsis plus nine movie posters featuring eight of the main characters and one for just the movie itself.

Official 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.

Woody Harrelson is a pretty famous dude, so it’s pretty admirable and simultaneously completely disgusting that he got married this past weekend. Why is it disgusting? Look:

Woody Harrelson is a pretty famous dude, so it’s pretty admirable and simultaneously completely disgusting that he got married this past weekend. Why is it disgusting? Look:

Woody Harrelson and his girlfriend Laura Louie were officially married on Sunday on the island of Maui, his rep confirms to Usmagazine.com.

The couple, who have been together for 20 years, tied the knot in front of a small group of family and friends, including actor Owen Wilson, Willie Nelson and Sean Penn. Alanis Morissette sang at the ceremony.

Louie is “the ultimate goddess,” Harrelson once raved to Los Angeles Magazine. “Sometimes I get way too yang. She’s very yin. We balance each other very well.”

Now I’m sure Laura Louie isn’t the ugliest woman on Earth. In fact, she’s not even the ugliest bride I’ve had on this site. But I have to believe that the guy who was once the “hunk” on Cheers and has been in countless movies over decades could do a little better. I’m sure Woody’s happy and all that, but I wish he’d make a sacrifice and f someone hotter for my benefit.

On the plus side, I’ve always wondered what it would be like to f someone who looks like a stereotypical caricature of a sherpa, so that’s pretty cool. And you can do it without scaling a mountain! Good work, Woody!
