OMG, YOU GUYS. The first Hunger Games trailer has been quickly released into wild, much like a pack of feral teenagers battling to the death in the woods! Below, the Out staff reacts!
"I love a dystopian tale a la Margaret Atwood. It's also reminiscent of Schwarzenegger's The Running Man but with camping and that cute girl from Winter's Bone."
--William Van Meter, Features Editor
"Why has it taken this long to get Lenny Kravitz and Woody Harrelson together? Magic!"
--Raef Harrison, Web Editor
"Here are three reactions I had:
-The end of the trailer makes me so tense!
-Jennifer Lawrence--amazing. Josh Hutcherson--dye your hair back to brown.
-I mean, Lenny Kravitz, Woody Harrelson?! I was almost expecting Bill Murray to pop up somewhere."
--Henry Watson, Associate Photo Editor
"I hate everything about this trailer except the lady in the pink taffeta dress."
--Max Berlinger, Assistant Editor
"The costume design is terrible. I haven't read the books, so I am not sure what imagery was provided -- but make up your mind. Is it science fiction? Present day? Futuristic? Really disappointing."
--Brent Austin Coover, Fashion & Market Editor
"When did Juliette Lewis move into Jennifer Lawrence's face?"
--Adam Rathe, Senior Editor
"It's like The Lottery meets Handmaid's Tale meets Brazil. Right? I mean, Jennifer Lawrence showed us she was badass in Winter's Bone (eating that rabbit!), now she gets to be sexy doing it. Watch out, Angelina Jolie."
--Jerry Portwood, Managing Editor
"IM SO EXCITED IM SO EXCITED
IM SO... SCARED"
--Sarah Olin, Associate Art Director
[No words, just sitting in the corner, quietly hyperventilating into a paper bag.]
