Everyone who has read Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games has a specific mental image of what this world and its characters should look like, especially certain crucial scenes like the opening ceremonies of the Games. Well, bravo, Gary Ross and company.

t’s a star-studded affair at the People’s Choice Awards, and the star of The Hunger Games just dropped a little gem on Celebuzz, as Josh Hutcherson gave us a little scoop on a scene he can’t wait for fans to see in the film.
“I can’t wait for fans to see the tracker jacker scene.” a smiling Hutcherson told Celebuzz as he made his way down the red carpet of the 2012 People’s Choice Awards. “The make up is incredible. The scene is insane,” he continued. Funny he should say that — our latest 100 Days of Hunger Games video declared that as one scene we’re dying to see!
It’s hard to contain our excitement for “The Hunger Games,” and although we still have more than two months to wait until its release in theaters, our anxiousness is alleviated whenever we have the opportunity to speak with one of the film’s stars.

Consider this a silver parachute floating down to Earth from your benevolent sponsor Hollywood Crush. Our gift to you: an EXCLUSIVE first look at “The Hunger Games” Peeta character poster featuring Josh Hutcherson!
Fans of Suzanne Collins’ dystopian series, on which the movie is based, need no introduction to Peeta. As heroine Katniss Everdeen’s fellow District 12 tribute in the Capitol-devised Hunger Games, the teen must battle 23 fellow contestants to the death if he hopes to make it out of the booby-trap-filled arena alive. Oh, and the whole thing’s broadcast in every house in the country, a reconstituted North America known as Panem. NO BIG DEAL.

Four years ago, if someone said “Robert Pattinson” or “Taylor Lautner” to you, nine out of 10 people would have shrugged their shoulders and said “Who?”
Now, they’re pretty much among the most wanted and talked-about actors in Hollywood — and it’s all thanks to the whopping success of the “Twilight” franchise. And while the “Breaking Dawn” films will mark the end of that series, nearly everyone in the know has pegged “The Hunger Games” as the next “Twilight.”
So, take note of these names: Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth — the next young megastars who will face the gift and curse of instant Hollywood fame. As the two male leads in “Hunger,” their careers will receive an instant injection of megawatt star power and credibility, they’ll be remarkably wealthy and among the A-list … but they’ll also be scrutinized and trailed by the paparazzi and media everywhere they go.
That’s the trade-off these days, where any form of success or notoriety means everything in your life is now fair game — chum in the water for the media sharks. Most actors and Hollywood stars gradually work their way up the ladder, but with the cult teen followings of “Twilight” and “Hunger” — and both series’ decisions to go with less-than-well-known names as the leads (save for Jennifer Lawrence in “Games”) — the transition from working actor to on-the-cover-of-everything can be a tough one to swallow.
