Back in May, Entertainment Weekly released the first photos of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen in the upcoming film adaptation of "The Hunger Games."
This Friday, they're doing it again, this time with lead actors Liam Hemsworth ("The Last Song") as Gale Hawthorne and Josh Hutcherson ("Bridge to Terabithia") as Peeta Mellark.
The actors' castings did not come without controversy among fans of Suzanne Collins' trilogy, especially Hemsworth. Of course there's the obvious in that the blond Hemsworth was cast as the dark-haried Gale and the other way around for Hutcherson and Peeta. From the look of the cover photo (shown above), a little hair dye fixed that problem.
"The Hunger Games" follows Katniss 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. Peeta and Gale ultimately become rivals for Katniss' affections.
"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.
