The Girl Who Aimed With Fire: Watch First Teaser for The Hunger Games

Jennifer Lawrence introduced a suspenseful, heavily forested preview of The Hunger Games at the tail end of MTV's Video Music Awards in a pre-taped segment from North Carolina, where the adaptation of Suzanne Collins's bestseller is still being shot. And speaking of being shot: In the clip, Lawrence takes aim with a fiery arrow and artfully dodges some woodsy danger. Indeed, she's the new goddess of the hunt. Watch after the jump.

Short! Fire! For those wondering, that's Liam Hemsworth as Gale providing the voice over. Also, as Movieline's Jen Yamato points out, Rue's whistling at the end sounds an awful lot like the X-Files theme song. The Hunger Games arrives in theaters on March 23, 2012.

VERDICT: May the odds be ever in your favor.
