New look at The Hunger Games’ Effie in a…nail polish ad?

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Goddamnit Hunger Games, I’ve just finished reading your first two books and let me please express my distaste if you’re going to overly market this film as a Twilight successor to tween girls.

I understand the financial appeal, but you actually have a really solid story to work with here, so having your characters appear in nail polish ads? Please stop.

What you see below is a look at Elizabeth Banks’ Effie from the series in her traditionally crazy hair and makeup, but instead of a teaser poster this is actually an ad for nail polish in “Capitol Colors.” Each color corresponds to a different district and…WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? Get back on track, marketing team.
