Hungry for the Games

I must admit, I am a huge fan of the Hunger Games trilogy and I can't hardly wait for the movie to open in March!

I just caught a photo that was released this week of Elizabeth Banks who will play Effie Trinket in the movie. From the looks of it, I think the movie will be nothing short of a feast for the eyes! I didn't recognize her at all, but I think this is an amazing look.

This photo reminds me a little of Finlay MacKay's 2008 Lavazza Calendar.  MacKay's photos have a very dramatic and magical quality to them.  If you are not familiar with Lavazza calendars, you should click here to learn more about them. 

Here are a few of McKay's most amazing images for the calendar:
