'The Hunger Games': Eight New Character Posters!

A full-length "Hunger Games" trailer, complete with sequences from the movie that aren't all chopped up and teaser-like, has yet to hit the Web. But here's a little something to hold you over: character posters!

Okay, so it doesn't compare to a trailer, but these eight character posters will still give you a good idea of what the major players in "The Hunger Games" will look like. That includes Haymitch (played by Woody Harrelson) and Effie (played by Elizabeth Banks), who we haven't seen thus far... and Effie's makeup and wig look every bit as ridiculous as described in the book.

Other new faces include Cinna, who will be played by Lenny Kravitz and is a casting choice that has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Rue and Cato also make their first appearances in pictures, and we get another look at Katniss, Peeta and Gale.

The posters are suffiently dark considering the subject matter, and I like how Katniss is the only one facing right while everyone else faces left. It highlights the idea that it's her vs. the world (even though some of these characters are on her side).

Check out all eight posters below (via NYMag), and let us know what you think!
