'The Hunger Games' (2012)



Positioned to be the biggest thing in the YA world since Twilight, The Hunger Games has everything from a gorgeous cast to a gripping storyline to win over audiences. The first installment of Suzanne Collins' post-apocalyptic trilogy will be brought to life on the big screen on March 23, starring Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen, the adorable Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark and the hunky Liam Hemsworth as Gale Hawthorne. The story is about a country divided into 12 districts, which each sends two teenage representatives to fight to the death in an annual televised competition. With only one winner in these games, competition is grisly and fierce. The waiting for this movie to hit theaters? Unbearable!
