A low-quality, unofficial version of this image apparently made the rounds before now, but this is a good-looking version of the still, and it marks our first official look of Stanley Tucci in character as Caesar Flickerman, the ostentatiously-styled interviewer of ht titular survival competition. Next to him is, of course, the Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen, looking beautiful but uncomfortable in the fancy getup being shown off to the Capitol.
The image showed up on the film's official facebook page.
This film, the first in a presumed trilogy that will also include Catching Fire and Mockingjay, is directed by Gary Ross, who is set to return for the sequel currently being scripted by Slumdog Millionaire screenwriter Simon Beaufoy.
Lawence, who herself was Oscar-nominated for last year's Winter's Bone, is carrying The Hunger Games as Katniss, but there's a very capable cast that includes Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Wes Bentley, Lenny Kravitz, Donald Sutherland, and Toby Jones.
The Hunger Games does its thing in theaters on March 23rd.
