Caffeinated Clint
The PR crew behind Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games” have revealed plans for a line of Nail Polish. Helping to spur sales, a nice new poster of Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks’s character in the film) along with a pic of the new nail polish – Capitol Colors.
“Hi Clint”, begins the e-announcement, “The Capitol just announced that Effie Trinket is the official ‘face’ of China Glaze by unveiling the ad campaign for the upcoming line of nail polishes CAPITOL COLOURS.
The 12 polishes are each inspired by one of the 12 districts – allowing citizens to show their solidarity and support for a favorite tribute by wearing the color associated with their district. Expect news updates from the Capitol as they continue to roll out additional promotions in the coming weeks leading up to the Games on March 23. What are you wearing to the opening ceremonies?”
Er, probably jeans and a Batman T-Shirt. Why, you ask?
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. THE HUNGER GAMES is directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins’ best-selling novel, the first in a trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 16 million copies in print in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following.
