Hunger Games again.

So I saw the teaser trailer for the VMAs just now.
I kind of went to bed earlier than usual, and apparently 4am is a natural wake-up/non-sleepy time for me (this has happened before), so I've been wasting a couple hours looking up movies. Which eventually, of course, led me to the Hunger Games teaser trailer.
Well, it's like nothing. It's maybe a minute long, and all it has are shots of Katniss running, with some voiceover person telling her she's awesome (if they mess up continuity/plot so that Gale plays a larger part in the movie, simply to play up the love triangle, I may be slightly to very upset. Just saying.) Yeah. Talk about teaser.
This has put me back on the fence about Jennifer Lawrence. The thing is, she just doesn't look intense enough, especially not in this. Like I said, I don't know exactly what Katniss looks like in my head - but I do know it's not this. That said, if she's a good actress (and I'm about 85% certain she is) I should be able to get over that. Also, it's totally possible she just seems less intense because of the music that's playing - I was having some Twilight flashbacks. Like seriously. GET BETTER MUSIC. PLEASE. Don't make me have Twilight flashbacks during The Hunger Games by doing that thing with the music and the panoramic sweep and/or the flashes of running.
(final note: apparently Liam Hemsworth's Australian accent is identifiable to some in this voiceover, but I didn't notice; who knows whether that's because of the quality of the video I watched/the fact that I watched it on my iPhone, or because I'm just not so great at accents. Maybe it's not that bad, and people are just looking for something to judge. We'll see.
