The Hunger Games doesn’t hit theaters until March 23, but Us Weekly has an exclusive sneak peek from inside the pages of the magazine’s special issue (on stands March 2).

Liam Hemsworth plays Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) best friend and hunting partner Gale Hawthorne, who comforts her little sister Primrose (Willow Shields) during the Reaping.

In the pivotal scene, one boy (Josh Hutcherson) and one girl (Shields) are randomly selected to compete in the Hunger Games, where 24 tributes from 12 districts must fight to the death; Katniss volunteers to take her younger sister’s place. More than 500 extras gathered at an abandoned cotton mill to film the emotionally-charged scene.

“My favorite scene to film was the Reaping,” 38-year-old Elizabeth Banks, who plays Effie Trinket, recently told Us. “The energy was so great around that scene. Very powerful.”

For much more on the movie, including 125 gorgeous photos and exclusive interviews, pick up Us Weekly‘s Hunger Games special — available on newsstands March 2. Pre-order your copy now!

Check out the Press Release below:

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Fandango, the nation’s leading moviegoer destination, announced today that advance ticketing records were set by Lionsgate’s upcoming thriller, “The Hunger Games“, which has already sold out hundreds of  showtimes in advance of the film’s March 23 release date.

“‘The Hunger Games’ is off to a fantastic start,” says Rick Butler, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Fandango. “Yesterday we saw the biggest first day advance ticketing sales in our company’s nearly 12-year history – which is especially impressive for a March release and a non-sequel.”

MTV has recently chat with Elizabeth Banks and she explained that determining her character’s (Effie Trinket) signature look in The Hunger Games Movie  was the real time-suck:

“It was a really long process to find it, initially,” she said. “It was a couple days of hanging out in the trailer and playing around. But once we nailed it, it was just two hours a day.”

Which means that Elizabeth got off easy, all things considered; after all, Wes Bentley required two hours of painstaking grooming per day just for his beard.

And the most difficult part of the Effie ensemble?

“The worst part about it was my nails,” Elizabeth said. “I had these crazy, long, insane fake nails—bejeweled and…just insane. And once they were on, I literally couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t—[mimes poking a finger at an imaginary phone]—iPhone, Blackberry. I couldn’t use the computer.”

And if you’re thinking that doesn’t sound so bad, you’ll want to reserve judgment until you’ve heard the last of the actress’ complaints about her high-maintenance manicure. Because:

“I couldn’t go to the bathroom. I literally couldn’t zip or unzip, or do a button. I couldn’t wipe. I couldn’t do anything.”

Okay, yes. That’s…bad. That is very, very bad. (Bonus: rewind and watch Josh Horowitz’s face when Elizabeth says the word, “wipe”.)

But, she says, it’s important that the audience understands just how much effort went in to bringing the literary trilogy to life: “I just want everyone to know how far we had to go to make ‘The Hunger Games.’”
