First Look: Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss!

First look at Katniss!  Jennifer Lawrence graces thecover of the latest issueof Entertainment Weekly as Katniss Everdeen inThe Hunger Games

Lawrence's locks have changed from their usual blonde to Katniss' signature brown do.  She is also wearing the gold mockingjay pin and has her bow and arrows on her back.  She looks amazing!  What do you think about the new Katniss?

She admits toEWthat she had reservations when she was first offered the part.

“I knew that as soon as I said yes, my life would change. And I walked around an entire day thinking‘It’s not too late, I could still go back and do indies, I haven’t said yes yet, it’s not too late... I love this story, and if I had said no, I would regret it every day.”

Lawrence already has some of Katniss in her.  Continue reading to see how she feels she can already relate.

Lawrence says she feel for Katniss and has already somewhat been in her shoes.

“He was asking me what the experience was like,” she recalls,“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.’”

Titanic To Hit Theaters Again

Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox and Lightstorm Entertainment jointly announced today that James Cameron'sTitanicwill be re-released around the world on April 6, 2012.

The re-release will mark the 100th anniversary of the Titanic setting sail on April 10, 1912 and will feature the film in 3D for the first time ever.

It makes sense to re-release this one asTitanicis the second-highest grossing movie of all time and it's also one only of three films to have received 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director.

The 3D conversion has been in the works for a long time now and if Cameron'sAvataris any indication, they will do a very good job of converting this one to 3D as well.

"There's a whole generation that's never seen 'Titanic' as it was meant to be seen, on the big screen,"Cameron said in a statement."And this will be 'Titanic' as you've never seen it before, digitally re-mastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike."

Coincidentally 2012 is also the 100th anniversary of Paramount Pictures, so the re-release has a special double meaning
