THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2 Gets A Heroic New Poster And Poignant Trailer Centric On The Everdeen Sisters
Lee B. Golden III
Cast aside all the illustrious and suggestive propaganda pushed through Lionsgate’s marketing campaign for the latest trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. Actress Jennifer Lawrence is back once more for the final chapter of the epic franchise that helped popularized the female-centric action adventure subgenre for the YA literary crowd and with at least one particular highlight that grants its substance, the new trailer for the film presents a montage of moments highlighting Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen with sister Prim, played by Willow Shields.
Indeed, it’s just the kind of substance that keeps a franchise like this going as one of several interpersonal relationships exhibited in all three films thusfar, with Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman and others in the mix. And we’re finally going to witness it on November 20…alas, cue the new trailer and brand new poster as well!
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.
