Haymitch, Cinna showcased in latest 'Hunger Games' still released by Lionsgate

The latest still from "The Hunger Games' features Cinna and Haymitch.

Lionsgate has release its latest production still from its upcoming adaptation of "The Hunger Games."

The new photo shows Peeta (Josh Hutcherson, "Bridge to Terabithia") talking to the drunkard Haymitch (Woody Harrelson, "Zombieland") and stylist Cinna ("American Woman" singer Lenny Kravitz).

Neither of the latter character received much screen time in the film's full-length trailer, and the new photo provided perhaps the best glimpse thus far of the pair.

Anticipation is high for the first of what is expected to be three (or possibly four) films based on the best-selling trilogy from author Suzanne Collins. What little of the film we've seen so far has looked pretty solid.

"The Hunger Games" follows Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone") and Peeta as they are chosen to participate in an annual fight to death involving two children chosen from each of the 12 districts of Panem. Haymitch is tasked with mentoring the pair, while Cinna works to make Katniss memorable. Peeta has his own stylist.

"The Hunger Games" is being directed by Gary Ross ("Seabiscuit," "Pleasantville") based on a screenplay from Bill Ray ("State of Play"). It is set for a March 23, 2012, release and is expected to be rated PG-13.
