IT'S HERE OMG IT'S HERE

I wasn't even that excited about it because movie adaptations have disappointed me lately, but LOOK AT IT.  The trailer is a work of art in itself for barely showing you the arena and keeping EVERYTHING IN SUSPENSE, WHICH MAKE THE WAITING EVEN WORSE.  Primrose and Rue both make me want to cry already!  You can feel Katniss's terror!  Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson look perfect, KATNISS/PEETA MY HEART.

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WAIT FOUR MONTHS FOR THIS?

THE PRODUCTION DESIGN IS PERFECT! EXACTLY AS I IMAGINED IT!

It looks so REAL! Which is very fitting for this trilogy, obviously. The atmosphere is perfectly chilling.

I love that we'll be watching the families watch and being with the tributes simultaneously!!! This is what I wanted.
The image of her salute to Rue's district broke me already.

Yes! I hadn't thought much about being able to see the districts' reactions (although I guess they need a way to keep Gale in the movie for more than half an hour) or what the big viewing screens would be like, but it definitely makes the concept of the Games as reality TV even more powerful and horrifying. Seeing Prim's fear as she watches Katniss raises the stakes and definitely increases my own nervous anticipation.

When I was listening to the first book (I'm doing it all in audiobook form, otherwise I'd never get to it) I kept imagining the film literally filmed in pieces as if it was reality tv. You know- that grainy look? And then I started thinking about how cool it would be to visually watch people watching and how much could be done with different types of screens/audiences. My inner film-geek wants this to really hit home the idea of "reality tv" at every possible moment. I'm so glad someone in their production team saw the potential there, to.

It'll be interesting, too, to see what Katniss and Peeta's "love" story looks like from the audience's POV. Obviously we'll still know the truth, but it will be a really nice addition to get a sense of how obsessed with their fiction the Capitol becomes, since that is the reason they're able to both live, after all.

I love this.
