It's hard to imagine it not being a big hit when it's released in March, and got a little bit more interesting this week with the announcement that The Big Evil President will be played by DONALD SUTHERLAND. Instantly, Hunger Games has become more exciting a prospect than the entire Twilight series.
The first movie, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, will be released in March 2012.
