This is the third trailer for the film, following the underwhelming teasery teaser back in August, then November's full trailer that won a lot of converts. The new trailer does everything that the second did, but more succinctly and at a fevered emotional pitch, by which I mean to say that this is the best preview thus far.

The trailer drops with exactly fifty days from the theatrical debut of The Hunger Games, and Yahoo! is one of 50 sites hosting a competition that will allow fans to attend the film's premiere in the Nokia Theater at the LA Live complex in Downtown Los Angeles. Check out Yahoo! for all the details on how you can tweet your way to the premiere.
Earlier today we saw a new image from the film and the official announcement that the feature will get a one-week IMAX run, which nicely allows this new trailer to feature that tag of "In Theaters and IMAX."
Jennifer Lawrence stars as Katniss Everdeen, and the central romantic trio is filled out by Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth as Peeta Mellark and Gale Hawthorne, respectively. This trailer gives our best look at Caesar Flickerman, played by Stanley Tucci. The rest of the cast includes Woody Harrelson, Wes Bentley, Lenny Kravitz, Donald Sutherland, and Toby Jones.
The Hunger Games arrives on March 23rd.
