When Jennifer Lawrence was cast as protagonist Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross' adaptation of The Hunger Games, there were seriously people who complained that Lawrence was a blonde while in the book Katniss is a brunette.  These poor souls never heard of a hair dye so they'll be pleased to know that this magical new invention has been used to turn Lawrence's hair the proper color.  The new issue of Entertainment Weekly features Lawrence in her full Katniss get-up complete with bow, arrow, and golden pin that's featured on the cover of the book.  Speaking of the book, I just downloaded it to my Kindle and plan to read it in the very near future.  If I don't like it, I'm blaming all of the fans.Hit the jump to check out the full image of Lawrence as Katniss.  The film also stars Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, and Woody Harrelson.  The Hunger Games opens March 23, 2012.Image via EW (obviously).UPDATE: We've just posted a few more images of Lawrence as Katniss, so click here to check them out.hunger-games-ew-cover-large-01Here's the official synopsis for The Hunger Games:

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games.  Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy.  If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

THE HUNGER GAMES will be directed by Gary Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. Collins’ best-selling novel, which has over 3 million copies in print in the United States alone, is the first in a trilogy of novels which have developed a global following.
