If you haven’t heard of “The Hunger Games” then you probably will real soon. The promotional poster of the movie debuted Tuesday as a unique motion poster with flames coming out of mockingbird pin.
The popular book, which will be turned into a movie for the novels die-hard fans next year, takes readers to a new country called Panem after North America comes to ruins. Twelve districts and a Capitol are formed and every year two representatives from each of the twelve districts are selected to be in the Hunger Games–a fight to the death on live TV.
The story goes that a girl living in Panem, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers herself to be in the Hunger Games, so that her younger sister, Prim (Willow Shields), does not have to go, even though she was the one that was elected by the lottery system of the tyrannical government.
The intense poster has a mockingjay pin on fire in the poster, which symbolizes rebellion against the government, according to E! Online. Across the top, the quote, “May the odds be ever in your favor” is the token phrase of the Hunger Games in the story.
Directing the movie is Gary Ross, who is also writing the screenplay for the movie, which is based on the novels by Suzanne Collins.
The movie is set to come out next March.
