The Hunger Games, Mockingjay, Part One courtesy Lionsgate
Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) goes to war in the final trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 from Lionsgate.
Katniss arrives in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation inspired by her courage.
The march to Mockingjay Part One begins. The final book in The Hunger Games trilogy will be split into two films.
The studio released a chilling viral video with an ending that could send shivers in the hearts of fans.
Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: Days of Future Past) returns as Katniss Everdeen but the new video features the villainous President Snow (Donald Sutherland) addressing his citizens via Capitol TV with a special guest by his side in the final moments.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens this week. Jennifer Lawrence reprises her role as Katniss Everdeen, who is forced to compete in deadly new games of former champions (including Josh Hutcherson back at Peeta.)
Before global success of The Hunger Games, before winning an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in Silver Linings Playbook, Lawrence and her leading men (Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth) came to Seattle on The Hunger Games Tour. I remember young fans erupting into a frenzy like tributes arriving in the Capitol.
I wanted to share part of that interview again. Most of the young fans were on Team Gale or Team Peeta. I asked Lawrence about the relationship between Katniss and Cinna, the stylist who becomes her mentor. While filming X-Men: First Class Lawrence (who played Raven/Mystique) became friends with co-star Zoe Kravitz (who played Angel) and developed a friendship with her dad, rock star Lenny Kravitz. She explained that helped their on-screen rapport:
Kravitz returns as Cinna to prepare Katniss and Peeta for the Hunger Games Quarter Quell as the new District 12 champions must fight for their lives again against former winners.
