Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson star in "The Hunger Games."


It's 11 days and counting until the March 23 release of "The Hunger Games," and new peeks at the movie continue to emerge.

A pair of new video clips should especially thrill fans of the book series: one features one of the real "Whoa!" moments of the book, and the other introduces one of the movie's favorite characters.

In the first video clip, we see the on-stage interview of Peeta ("Journey 2" star Josh Hutcherson), the male co-competitor from the same district as our heroine, Katniss Everdeen. The interviews take place shortly before they begin the survival competition known as "The Hunger Games." Fans know that this interview is where Peeta makes a stunning admission. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK, CONSIDER THIS A SPOILER ALERT.

In the second video clip, we watch as Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence of "Winter's Bone" and "X-Men: First Class") first meets Cinna, who is to be her stylist for the pre-competition events. Nice that this cool character is played by one of the coolest cats on the planet, rocker Lenny Kravitz. No spoiler alert needed for this scene.
