New Hunger Games Poster: Beyond Hungerdome

Finally, a Hunger Games poster that reminds us of the carnage and calamity that made the books so addictive. Here, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) stands before a packed stadium while her adversary Peeta Mellark's (Josh Hutcherson) image flies above the crowd. Yes, this is the poster that Lionsgate asked Twitter uses to assemble from jigsaw clues -- and it appears that @johnshoward is the one who pulled through. Pretty epic thunderdome. Katniss and Peeta are the new 2pac and Dre.

I tossed back Suzanne Collins's books like buckets of popcorn, and I wish this damn movie would arrive so I could apply my binge disorder to it in a similar fashion. Now we're talking about the kind of "hunger games" I live every day. Square me off against Karen Carpenter and Tracey Gold - those broads don't have a chance!

And of course, Lawrence is giving us all the Katniss cred I need here. Let's not forget that her casting in The Hunger Games might be the match of the year. And that Lenny Kravitz's casting as Cinna is... still pretty weird.
