"May the odds be ever in your favor…" 'X-Men: First Class' star Jennifer Lawrence readies to fend off all opponents in the highly anticipated big-screen version of 'The Hunger Games,' and we've got a first look at the fiery motion poster!

Based on the best-selling trilogy by Suzanne Collins, 'The Hunger Games' takes place in a futuristic, dystopian world ruled by an oppressive dictatorship in which children and young adults are chosen by lottery to battle to the death in an annual tournament.

When Katniss Everdeen's (Lawrence) beloved little sister is chosen to go to battle, she chooses to take her place. In a fight for survival, she must rely upon all of her wits, skills and strength to save her community and make it home alive.

The new motion poster features the iconic mockingjay pin worn by Katniss -- a symbol of rebellion -- materializing in a burst of flame.

Directed by Gary Ross ('Pleasantville,' 'Seabiscuit') and also starring Josh Hutcherson, Donald Sutherland, Wes Bentley, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Hemsworth, Lenny Kravitz and Stanley Tucci, 'The Hunger Games' begin March 23, 2012.
