Wow! The fan boy inside of me is geeking out over this picture. Jennifer Lawrence will be playing the lead role of Katniss Everdeen in the film adaptation of the widely popular Susanne Collin’s young adult series, “The Hunger Games”. Gary Ross is set to direct.

EW got the first look of Lawrence as Katniss. Her complexion is darker and now she’s a brunette, she totally looks the part. Everything is complete with the bow and arrow and the mockingjay pin. The issue of Entertainment Weekly has a full interview with the Oscar nominated actress. Here’s a short excerpt:

[Gary Ross] was asking me what the experience [of Awards Season] was like and I just kind of opened up and said, ‘I feel like a rag doll. I have hair and makeup people coming to my house every day and putting me in new, uncomfortable, weird dresses and expensive shoes, and I just shut down and raise my arms up for them to get the dress on, and pout my lips when they need to put the lipstick on.’ And we both started laughing because that’s exactly what it’s like for Katniss in the Capitol. She was a girl who’s all of a sudden being introduced to fame. I know what that feels like to have all this flurry around you and feel like, ‘Oh, no, I don’t belong here.’

I’m excited, hopefully you are too! What do you think of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen? Does she look the part?
