Ohmygoodness!!! I love the pictures. So my favorite characters are Haymitch and Cinna and they are the ones I was most nervous about, but after seeing the pic of Lenny Kravitz...gold eyeshadow and all, I am sooo excited! Haymitch's pic didn't really give me any kind of impression, I wish the first pic they released of him would have been of him stumbling drunk or something, lol. But, I am on the same page as everyone else here...these books are absolutely incredible and I laugh/cry every time I read them!And also...TEAM PEETA!!!! All the way, baby! I agree with you Heidi. Come on now...the bread! And the primrose bush *SOBS* How can he not be your favorite!?!? He's so wonderful.
I was surprisingly pleased with Cinna because I was unsure about Lenny Kravitz just because it wasn't what I pictured. But he looks good. Understated.

I picture Cinna as an average sized white guy, maybe in his late 20's. So, Lenny was a bit of a shocker, but I am hoping for the best. And the more photos and news that is released, the more confident I become in the producers.

They look so wonderful! I can't wait for the friggin movie!
I love how simple the posters are but how much they still convey. The one of Rue breaks my heart with her pose and I love love how different Peeta and Gale's expressions are! I can't wait for March!

I'm loving Lennie Kravitz as Cinna!!
Vanity Fair did a Hunger Game shoot and it literally made me LOLDo they know what a tribute is? Do they understand these are KILLER KIDS?

(And for reals what's with all the khaki, such a BLAH color theme)
But I love Jennifer as Katniss because she was a fan of the books first AND she really gets it

Actually I just read the weird little blurbs (put your mouse on their head) and so many of them are fans of the book and they seem so excited.I just want them to succeed now. And to give them a hug since they all you know (view spoiler)
Great pics and comments Cassi! Thanks for sharing. I am soooo excited. Love your spoiler btw.
I know, such a spoiler.This picture made me laugh I'm not going to lie. But not because the cast looks bad or anything. They just look so darn happy and cheerful.

Vanity Fair always goes overboard with their pics - remember the 10,000 Twilight cast pics.
I never looked at the Twilight cast pics - I'm such a hater.The pictures were all kinda like "WHAT" but all the quotes were so happyfiying that I don't even care that the cast photo looks like an Old Navy commercial.
So the Internet just told me (b/c you know it's my BFF like that) Josh Hutcherson is a University of Kentucky basketball fan. (Okay I found his twitter today & he had UK pics. This is what I'm doing while I should be NanoWriMo-ing).Nobody is ever allowed to say anything bad about him again! EVER! LOL (To be fair, he's from Kentucky so this is not that much of a revelation but he had pictures from Rupp Arena and I got happy)
Editing to add a link to his super fandom twitpic. Also pleased to see he's sitting in the upper arena (not where the famous people normally are - though his next game I'm sure he'll have better seats) http://twitpic.com/134m8j
Love the Vanity Fair pics but why did they have to add so many spoilers???
Forgot to add: Liam Hemsworth almost makes me want to join Team Gale. Almost. ;)
Shannen (Lumaterean) wrote: "Love the Vanity Fair pics but why did they have to add so many spoilers???"I noticed that too. Apparently they're assuming everyone already knows the story who will watch the movie. Or something.
Shannen (Lumaterean) wrote: "Forgot to add: Liam Hemsworth almost makes me want to join Team Gale. Almost. ;)"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I know! The spoilers make me angry.
For the record, I said "almost"! I have been Team Peeta from day one. :) Liam Hemsworth is just so darn cute!

I'm actually a Josh Hutcherson fan (obviously) after I saw him on one of the talk shows and he talked about camping. I was like "camping?" Then use see those floating <3 signs because clearly I've A. Been single too long B. REALLY like to camp.Then I saw him with UK facepaint and I'm *probably* going to a UK exhibition game on Monday (super excited) so I was like "Really Josh Hutcherson? Why are you so young, so famous, playing a favorite book-boy and share my hobbies? Stop it already."
I've never really doubted Josh as Peeta, which puts me in the minority but hey. And Liam doesn't seem to smile enough for my liking. I'm a smiler.
Gale isn't exactly a smiley kind of guy.
I haven't seen Josh Hutcherson in anything but I'm excited to see Josh as Peeta. It looks like he is going to be in the remake of Red Dawn with Liam's brother, Chris.

I've only seen Josh in Bridge to Terabithia (which I didn't realize was him until someone told me) and TV interviews.I also didn't realize Liam had a brother until someone on vanity fair or twitter said he'd only gotten the part because of his brother. And I was like "he has a famous brother"
*doesn't-see-many-movies*
I am a big Josh (and Peeta) fan myself Cassi. Loved him in Little Manhatten (SHANNEN YOU MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE) and also in The Kids Are Alright. The face paint action is very adorable Cassi.
I know, isn't it? My on-the-brink-of-basketball season self could barely contain my excitement. But no one was home to tell (and they would only pretend to care anyways).I don't understand all the hate that Josh gets around HG fanbase. I forget that we are all so wise and reasonable here, thus I have no reason to worry.
I knew Chris Hemsworth before Liam, only because of Star Trek. There's a third brother too, can't remember his name though.
I own that movie and still didn't know*clueless*
Chris Hemsworth is a fairly new actor so someone thinking that Liam got the part because of his brother is silly. Checking out IMDB, it kind of looks like they both got into the business at the same time.
Awww, Josh was just a little guy in Little Manhattan. I will have to check it out.
If they are going to make all three books into movies, they better hurry up. Jennifer and Liam are almost 21 and Josh is 19.

I saw the picture and thought it was cute, which just isn't something I thought I would be thinking about anything associated with the Hunger Games(does that even make sense? I have a headache)
They did the same kind of photo shoot with the cast of Twilight. It must be a Vanity Fair thing.

Gosh 19 is SUCH a baby. *pinchescheeks* (Sometimes I think I'm older than I actually am. I blame the knitting and gardening)

Well I am am a lot older than him and I still think he is a cutie! I don't knit (I did take a class once) but I read all those cozy mysteries which make me feel like a little old lady!
Thanks Heidi for making me feel better.It's funny how certain hobbies just make you feel old.

Nothing like a good looking 19 year old guy to make you feel younger. ;)
My friends and I will be talking about how cute an actor is and one of them will chime in with "he is too young!" I have to remind her that 18 is legal. Haha!

I'm pretty much in their age range but sometimes I still feel old when I hear about the younger actors. Although 19 isn't that young, the thing about Josh that get's me is that he's been acting for a while so we've pretty much seen him grow up.
I heard a rumor that Breaking Dawn pt.1 is going to give us the first look at the full length trailer for Hunger Games!!!!!!!!!Yeah, I'm just slightly ecstatic.
UGH! That makes me want to actually go watch Breaking Dawn...
Wendy F wrote: "UGH! That makes me want to actually go watch Breaking Dawn..."LOL. Still not enough for me. What does that say, I watched a stupid award show for that teaser trailer & not again.
Haha, I watched the award show for that teaser too. It's a tossup, (view spoiler) through Breaking Dawn for a full length Hunger Games trailer?? Honestly, I really don't think I can do it. Watching New Moon nearly gave me a heart attack, I won't watch Eclipse... and Breaking Dawn was the one I liked least.
I think I'll just wait for it to hit YouTube!
Well, apparently Good Morning America is going to be showing the full trailer on Monday morning. That's the buzz on Mockingjay.net.
You mean Monday that's coming up? Because if so I'm totally setting my DVR.
Bethany wrote: "Well, apparently Good Morning America is going to be showing the full trailer on Monday morning. That's the buzz on Mockingjay.net."I don't have a DVR and I'm on vacation that day so it'll be youtube for me. I'm too sleepy for Good Morning America.
I will just check the internet the next day. I can't pay good money for BD.
Wendy F wrote: "You mean Monday that's coming up? Because if so I'm totally setting my DVR."Yes Ma'am!!!
Oh yeah, I'm for sure watching that.
