Though the movie is now a little over a month away, there’s still plenty of time for a few more marketing salvos from The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. An emotional new short trailer for the movie has arrived, showing Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen seeing for herself what the tender mercies of the Capitol have done to her old homestead of District 12. Hint: it’s not pretty.
Still, what it really does is strengthen her resolve as the film finds Katniss and the other rebels finally taking their fight to the Capitol and its PR-happy leader, President Snow (Donald Sutherland). But the fight against the all-powerful rulers will not be an easy one, and everyone involved will have to sacrifice if the Districts are to be finally free.
Adapted from Suzanne Collins’ third novel into two parts, the movie also features Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Julianne Moore, Josh Hutcherson, Natalie Dormer, Liam Hemsworth, Elder Henson, Wes Chatham, Mahershala Ali, Evan Ross and Philip Seymour Hoffman as part of the cast and Francis Lawrence calling the shots, **The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part **1 will be out on November 21, with the second part following on November 20, 2015.
