What exactly is this “Hunger Games” wonder that has so many folks talking months before the movie (which just wrapped up filming earlier this month) is even released? Like many of the wildly successful film franchises these days, it began with a book.

Suzanne Collins is the mastermind behind “The Hunger Games” trilogy, which has been gaining momentum over the last few months for both its suspenseful plot and overarching message about society.

The plot revolves around a dystopian society where punishment for a previous rebellion has resulted in a televised event. One boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district (there are 12 total) are selected at random and forced to participate in the Hunger Games, where “tributes” must fight to the death until only one is left standing.

“The Hunger Games” gives us a heroine named Katniss, a strong-willed and unwavering spirit, who volunteers for the games in order to spare her younger sister. Once inside the death match arena, she must get down and dirty to outlive her competitors, but there’s one slight problem.

Her hot friend Peeta gets cast into the games, too. In the midst of all the slaying, Katniss finds herself embroiled in a love triangle with her longtime pal Gale, who is watching the games from his home, and Peeta, who confesses his love for her inside the arena. Katniss’ emotional turmoil of love or death makes Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” look like child’s play.

Apparently, Collins’ twisted plot came to her one night while she was channel surfing between a competition reality show and a news program about the Iraq war. She blended the two shows and “The Hunger Games” was born.

The first film of the franchise is slated for release on March 23, 2012, while the second film is already booked for November 2013. Fans can only hope director Gary Ross doesn’t soften the book, because the twists and turns will make for an edge-of-your-seat thriller. At this rate, the film is set to have more passion than “Twilight” and more action than “Harry Potter.”

The film has already faced some controversy.

When Lionsgate announced that Jennifer Lawrence had been cast to play Katniss, both fans and critics questioned the choice, believing she was too old, too blond and too pretty to play a ruthless warrior. However, if her success in “Winter’s Bone” and “X-Men: First Class” is any indication of her range, Lawrence has the potential to nail this role and pave the way for kick-butt female heroines.

The movie’s lead male stars will likely rise to instant fame, just as Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner did with “Twilight.” The relatively unknown actors Josh Hutcherson (Peeta) and Liam Hemsworth (Gale) will provide plenty of eye candy for the film. Other stars on the bill include Woody Harrelson (Haymitch), Stanley Tucci (Caesar Flickerman) and Lenny Kravitz (Cinna).

The film was originally meant to be low budget, however the hype has pushed the movie to a nearly $100-million production, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The cast and crew wrapped filming earlier this month after an 84-day shoot, and a recently released teaser trailer has given fans a taste of what’s to come. The hype may have escalated the budget, but the film may still exceed all expectations — and be one lucrative franchise that reaches audiences of all ages.

Now, with only a few months until the first film’s release, you still have plenty of time to pick up the book if you haven’t read it. But be warned, once you finish the addictive read, you’ll probably hunger for more.

The Gibson Girl

The Gibson Girl was the brainchild of Charles Dana Gibson (1967-1944) and is credited with being the world’s first pin-up. These pen-and-ink drawings represented independent, mischievous and adventurous Victorian women with feminine s-shaped silhouettes and hair piled high on their heads. The Gibson Girl had a huge influence on fashion and her tiny corseted waist, large hips and bust were inspired by the less restrictive health corsets worn by women of the fashionable upper-middle-classes. She was equal to a modern day celebrity and appeared in publications such as Harper’s Monthly, Bazaar and Life until around 1910.

The Christy Girl

Howard Chandler Christy (1873-1952) began his career as a war artist. Thanks to his preference for drawing pretty girls rather than men at war, the Christy Girl was similar to the Gibson Girl and featured on calendars, book illustrations and magazine covers. She was the prototype for the ideal American woman. Christy is most famous for his World War One poster Gee!! I Wish I Were a Man (1917) that depicts a spirited Christy Girl wearing navy blues.

The Fisher Girl

Harrison Fisher was another illustrator with a great eye for painting beautiful women in watercolour and pastel drawings on the covers of Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan. Elegant, athletic and independent, the Fisher Girl was the epitome of American feminine beauty at the beginning of the 20th century.

The Flagg Girls

Bohemian, cocky and outspoken, James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) is most famous for his wartime Uncle Sam poster I WANT YOU. His oeuvre is made up of paintings and caricatures of beautiful American women. With symmetrical faces and full lips, the Flagg Girls were tall and wide shouldered beauties. Illustrator Flagg was the greatest U.S. artist of his time, according to Time Magazine.

The Elvgren Girls

One of the most important glamour and pin-up artists of the 20th century, Gil Elvgren (1914-1980) created technicolor pin-up girls with infectious smiles throughout World War II. With long legs, beautiful hair, tiny waists and impossible busts, Elvgren created hundreds of all-American glamour girls throughout the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Elegant, naughty and fun, his girls wore garters, sneaky suspenders and silk stockings and included roller-skaters, swimmers and hitchhikers.
