Josh Hutcherson’s Character Peeta Gets Interviewed in New Hunger Games Clip

With the release date of Gary Ross’ big screen adaptation of “The Hunger Games” inching closer and closer each day, MTV has released a brand new clip from the upcoming March 23 film.

In the clip, Josh Hutcherson’s character Peeta Mellark gets interviewed by Stanley Tucci’s Caesar Flickerman.

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Wes Bentley, Toby Jones, Alexander Ludwig, Isabelle Fuhrman, Amandla Stenberg and Donald Sutherland also star.

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.
