There’s no question as to the success of Lionsgate’s longstanding live-action novel franchise, The Hunger Games, as much as the studio has been milking social media for all its worth to engage millenials and fans of the book series alike. The franchise has endowed its lead actress, Jennifer Lawrence as one of the most bankable movie stars today with a young cast that has given the film’s a life all their own through public exhibitions and posters, and event gatherings among all else, and with a little over four months left until the film’s November 20 release of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, it’ll be all about the marketing…and the marketing, the marketing…and yes, the marketing.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 now brings the franchise to its powerful final chapter in which Katniss Everdeen [Jennifer Lawrence] realizes the stakes are no longer just for survival – they are for the future. With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow [Donald Sutherland] in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends – including Gale [Liam Hemsworth], Finnick [Sam Claflin] and Peeta [Josh Hutcherson] – Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.
