This is one of our favorite characters from the series, and we’re SO excited that such a legend in his own right is taking on the role in the film!

Lenny Kravitz recently opened up about taking on the role of Cinna, the stylist and quiet mentor of Jennifer Lawrence‘s character in the adaptation of The Hunger Games, and explains that he was immediately drawn to the role after reading the script for the film, directed by Gary Ross!

He explains:

“I thought it was really good storytelling. I’m very much into stories. The character was interesting. I like [director Gary Ross's] previous work. And I said, ‘Yeah, let’s go,’ [Cinna]‘s very streamlined, he’s very quiet. He knows what he’s doing. He’s confident. He’s got a big heart. I just liked the way he moved – very smooth.”

Well, we’re happy to hear he has such a grasp on the character, and we cannot WAIT to see him – and the rest of this immensely talented cast – in action when the flick is released!

Now is it March yet?!

Hell to every yes!

Last night, The Civil Wars played to a sold out crowd in Nashville and decided to make the night extra special with one huge surprise. Towards the end of the show, they invited out a friend from the fold to perform a new song she has coming out that is attached to a movie getting a lot of buzz.

It was Taylor Swift. She sang Safe and Sound. From The Hunger Games. We’re not containing our excitement any more.

!!!!!!!!!!

Check out the video (above) and enjoy!

How many more days, Tributes?

But it won’t screen in IMAX.

Win some, lose some, right?

The big news to come from Lionsgate co-COO Joe Drake today was that when The Hunger Games releases in theaters this March, its going to release WORLD-WIDE, including in China.

In case that doesn’t mean much to you, you should know that Chinese authorities for cinematic viewing only greenlight 20 foreign films a year to be screened in their country, so for The Hunger Games to carry so much weight with them this early on is a pretty good sign that this franchise is going to be a huge success.

That’s the good news. The bad news is, if you were hoping to watch Katniss Everdeen run through the games on a wide, Imax screen in the spring, we’re sorry to say, it won’t happen. Apparently, there is a pre-existing agreement with a rival studio that is hindering Lionsgate from making a deal with them. No clue as to who that might be though.
