Yes, I'm looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit, Lincoln, etc, etc, etc, but the 2012 release that's at the top of my list is The Hunger Games. Why? Because I am a huge fan of the Suzanne Collins book series. And while the first teaser trailer for The Hunger Games (directed by Gary Ross) did nothing for me, this Super Bowl trailer absolutely restores my faith in Ross' ability to deliver a Hunger Games movie that can satisfy fans of the books as well as draw in a whole new audience.
Starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, Liam Hemsworth as Gale, and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta, The Hunger Games is heading to theaters on March 23, 2012. Check out the new trailer and take a look at the expanded photo gallery and see what you think:
