Composer Danny Elfman sure has a lot on his plate lately. He’s signed on to score Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful and two Tim Burton projects, Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie, to name a few. We guess it wouldn’t hurt to add Lionsgate’s big screen adaptation of The Hunger Games to the list!
Look for the film in theaters on March 23, 2012, and be sure to keep your eyes on the official The Hunger Games Facebook page and the official The Hunger Games Twitter feed for updates.
Set in post-apocalyptic America, the movie will introduce heroine Katniss Everdeen, a self-sufficient 16-year-old who lives in District 12, one of the poorer districts in the nation of Panem, what used to be known as North America before its utter destruction several years earlier. Katniss becomes a participant in the Hunger Games, an annual televised tournament where one boy and one girl from each of the nation’s twelve districts must fight to the death until only one competitor, or “tribute,” is left standing.
