After getting a peek at the The Hunger Games movie a few months ago, a full-length trailer has finally arrived!

This trailer gives fans of the young adult novel series their first look at some important characters like Effie Trinket, Cinna and Haymitch played by Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz and Woody Harrelson respectively. Personally, I think the trailer – while a bit short – was really well done. It was exciting without giving too much away, but gave just enough of the story to perhaps generate interest for those who have not read the books. Jennifer Lawrence looks pretty damn close to the Katniss that I pictured in my head as I read the books and Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth appear to fit the roles of Peeta and Gale.

The Hunger Gameshits theaters on March 23, 2012, is directed by Gary Ross and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, and Donald Sutherland.
