1. Lenny Kravitz Stars in ‘Hunger Games’ Clip

Lionsgate has released a new clip from The Hunger Games movie featuring the first meeting between Katniss Everdeen and her fashion stylist Cinna (played by musician Lenny Kravitz). The clip is embedded above–what do you think?

Hunger Games book fans will note that this bit of dialogue is not featured in the actual first novel. Fans initially protested the choice, but the clip has drawn 7,000 “likes” on Facebook as of this writing. Entertainment Weekly deemed Kravitz to be “the most intriguing casting choice.”

According to contactmusic.com, Fandango executive VP of ticket sales Rick Butler saw the “biggest first day advance ticket sales in our company’s nearly 12-year history” for The Hunger Games.

2. Hunger Games Trailer!



I'm so stoked for the HUNGER GAMES movie! This trailer just made me giddy with excitement.

I have never gotten into the whole TWILIGHT frenzy. I've seen the first 2 movies because I have a teenage daughter, but I just never got caught up in the hoopla. (Although I did admire Taylor Lautner's Abtastic performance)

But THIS...well March 23, 2012 just can not get here fast enough to suit me. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Lenny Kravitz is playing Cinna. Such a genius choice!

When I wrote my essay CRIME OF FASHION, for THE GIRL WHO WAS ON FIRE anthology, I never imagined Kravitz taking on the part. But as someone who closely examined the fashion forward designer and his overlooked part in the revolution I applaud the casting. Kravitz definitely fits the cool, zen demeanor of Cinna.

Now I just hope the costumes are as spectacular in the film as they're described to be in the book.

4. Lenny Kravitz Cast in The Hunger Games

Grammy award winning musician Lenny Kravitz will play fashion stylist Cinna in The Hunger Games film adaptation.

As an actor, Kravitz (pictured, via) is best known for his portrayal of Nurse John in the 2009 literary adaptation Precious.

Director Gary Ross made this remark about his performance in the press release: “When I saw Lenny’s work in Precious I was just knocked out.  It was quiet and strong and understated and open hearted; all qualities which define this character.”
