"Make sure they remember you." Lionsgate has unveiled two new TV spots from Gary Ross' The Hunger Games movie, and both can be seen online below (via TheMovieBox). The first one focuses on Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen as the District 12 tribute, and how she volunteers in place of her sister. The second spot focuses on the District 12 "Team", and specifically Haymitch telling them that "now is the time" to show what they've got, which includes Katniss and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta kicking ass in training. They're still keeping the rest of the games hidden, save for a shot of the control room in there. Take a look!

Jennifer Lawrence stars as Katniss, a 16-year-old living in the post-apocalyptic country of Panem. Every year, one boy and one girl are chosen from each of Panem's 12 districts to fight each other to their death. Josh Hutcherson plays Peeta, the boy chosen from District 12 for the Hunger Games with Katniss.

The Hunger Games is both written and directed by Oscar nominated filmmaker Gary Ross, director of Seabiscuit and Pleasantville previously, but also writer of Big, Mr. Baseball, Dave, Lassie, Pleasantville and Seabiscuit. It's adapted from Suzanne Collins' popular series of novels, first published in 2008. Lionsgate is bringing Hunger Games to theaters everywhere March 23rd, 2012. May the odds be ever in your favor.
