Jennifer Lawrence has had quite a ride.

This time last year she was an unknown actress. Now she has an Oscar nomination (Winter’s Bone) – and a potential star making movie franchise.

Lionsgate has announced that Lawrence will play the role of Katniss Everdeen in “The Hunger Games”. The massively successful novel is the first in a trilogy by author Suzanne Collins.

The role was highly sought after by Hollywood’s young actresses.

The plum role of Katniss is about a teenage girl trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic America. Katniss is forced to fight for her life in a “Running Man”-like game – part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the people.
