'The Hunger Games' trailer debuts (Video)

"The Hunger Games" trailer has arrived online! Check out the trailer below:

"The Hunger Games" is based on a Suzanne Collins novel of the same title. It has the plot below:

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part 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.

Directed by Gary Ross, "The Hunger Games" stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Paula Malcomson and many more. The film will be released in the US on March 23, 2012 under Lionsgate Entertainment.
