Here’s yet another new Hunger Games still: Katniss, Peeta and Cinna

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

You can already tell that we’re going to get at least one new HUNGER GAMES image every few days until MARCH 23rd. This is one of those movies where once the promo blitz has commenced, it doesn’t let up until after the flick has been released. Hell, may not halt even after that.

Entertainment Weekly has the latest image, showing leads Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) in their black costumes for the opening ceremonies sequence, said costumes designed by Lenny Kravitz’s Cinna. (In the book, all of the Hunger Games contestants are introduced to the nation in a lavish ceremony, each couple boasting a distinct style.)

Director Gary Ross explained what’s going on in the image: “This is one of those moments where Cinna’s character syncs up with the creativity of our costume designer Judianna Makovsky.”

“What Cinna was trying to do was create something that came out of District 12, out of a coal mining world, with a fresh, bold look to it. So Judianna went to this wonderful black reflective material that glistened like coal or graphite and would obviously work well in the Tribute parade where Katniss becomes the Girl on Fire.”

Naturally, a lot of that is HUNGER GAMES speak, so we ask: What do you think, HUNGER GAMES fans? Do the outfits look just like you had imagined they would?
