Everyone who has read Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games has a specific mental image of what this world and its characters should look like, especially certain crucial scenes like the opening ceremonies of the Games. Well, bravo, Gary Ross and company. In this exclusive photo from the moments just before their introduction, Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) readies a final flaming flourish to Peeta and Katniss’s black costumes. “This is one of those moments where Cinna’s character syncs up with the creativity of our costume designer Judianna Makovsky,” says Ross. (Makovsky earned Oscar nominations for her work on Ross’ previous movies Pleasantville and Seabiscuit.) “What Cinna was trying to do was create something that came out of District 12, out of a coal mining world, with a fresh, bold look to it. So Judianna went to this wonderful black reflective material that glistened like coal or graphite and would obviously work well in the Tribute parade where Katniss becomes the Girl on Fire.”
When it comes to the cinematic adaptation of literary wunderkind "The Hunger Games," there's probably no more challenging scene to realize onscreen than the one where Katniss and Peeta emerge at the opening ceremony wearing morbid all-black ensembles, and suddenly burst into flame. But while we've had a great time imagining what that moment would look like—even going so far as sketch out our very own vision of the outfit—thanks to an exclusive new still from Entertainment Weekly, we don't have to wonder anymore. 'Cause we're getting a real, actual early look at how Cinna (and by Cinna, we mean costume designer Judianna Makovsky) put the iconic look together! And all together now: OOOOOOOH.
The photo shows the District 12 duo (Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson) wearing body-hugging black suits, with neat textural details that echo the faceted look of anthracite. And not only that, you can actually see Lenny Kravitz advancing on them! With a candle! Which means that just after this picture was taken, Katniss officially debuted as The Girl On Fire.
Unfortunately, the actual moment of immolation is the one thing we aren't going to see in advance—after all, the movie's gotta hold something back. But if the producers of "The Hunger Games" were hoping to tease us into a rabid, frothing state of squealing anticipation with this strategically released sneak peek...well, it worked. SQUEEEAL!
