"The Hunger Games," featuring Jennifer Lawrence as Katnis Everdeen.

“The Hunger Games” trailer was unveiled this morning on “Good Morning America” and is now online for fans of Suzanne Collins’s young-adult novel series to view, re-view and dissect.
What will those fans see? A full, two-minute-plus preview for a movie that appears, at certain moments, to be tonally reminiscent of a Holocaust drama and, at other points, pure sci-fi. They will also see a trailer that features Jennifer Lawrence as an intense Katniss Everdeen, Elizabeth Banks looking like the Mad Hatter as Effie Trinket and Wes Bentley (Wes Bentley! With curly-cue facial hair!) as game administrator Seneca Crane.
It’s a pretty terrific clip, one that hews faithfully to the book and bodes well for the March release of this anticipated-to-the-point-of-ridiculousness movie. Watch it below, then post a comment to share your thoughts on the trailer.
