With less than a month to go, the final trailer aired this week as the first of the two-part finale that will feature Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen in her fight against Panem’s corrupt regime as the Mockingjay. Watch it below, and get your tickets!
Young adult bookworms have had their eye on actress Jennifer Lawrence for a few years now as she’s morphed into a cinematic success story. Not only does she lead one of Hollywood’s biggest action franchises to date, but she’s also a Guiness 2015 World Record holder, which undoubtedly pleases the folks at Lionsgate ahead of the upcoming release of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.
The film is an epic story of love in a time of war pitting young archer Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence) in the crosshairs of a post apocalyptic future dictatorship led by President Snow whose annual life-or-death gaming events have been Panem’s only means of suppressing its masses, until now.
SYNOPSIS:
The worldwide phenomenon of The Hunger Games continues to set the world on fire with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, which finds Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Danny Strong and Peter Craig and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the third in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has over 65 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.
The full trailer just arrived, and you can now watch it below.

I’ve always been unsure about studios promoting events for trailers. In my head at least, it always used to be that the trailers would come and would sell the movie normally prior to whatever box office results would occur. Nowadays, trailers themselves are headlining events at specific venues, whether its online, on a certain T.V. show, or the like.
In my opinion, it feels tedious and a bit overhyped, but that’s the route studios are going for these days. From 6-second trailer-teasers to organized trailer events such as what Lionsgate is now bringing fans of the Hunger Games film franchise in light of San Diego Comic Con.
All I know is I’m already sold and I do still look forward to the trailer. But I don’t own a Galaxy Tab S either…so… oh well. Screw it. 😛
