HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY DIRECTOR FRANCIS LAWRENCE TALKS CHANGES FROM THE BOOK

No major changes, just “world expansion”.

18 AUG 2014 BY ADAM DILEO

Potential mild spoilers for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 follow…

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Parts 1 and 2 will differ somewhat from the book upon which they are based. But according to director Francis Lawrence, there won’t be any major departures.

Instead, he says, the movies will showcase scenes that could have taken place out of sight during the events of the book. The idea sounds similar to some of the alterations made in HBO's Game of Thrones series.

Lawrence, who is helming both parts of Mockingjay after his success on Catching Fire, spoke with EW.com about what fans could expect of the movies’ scope: “There’s definitely some battles. There’s some of the first glimpses of real war in this movie. And the scale gets quite big.” Lawrence declined to say how the final two movies were broken up. He would only say that they have “two different, very distinct stories.”

Lawrence also spoke about series newcomer Julianne Moore as rebel President Coin, a character that has been expanded significantly for the films. Said Lawrence, “What’s interesting is although she’s a huge character in Mockingjay the book, there’s actually very little of her in it.” Lawrence promises there will be more President Coin in the films, which will allow for more development.

Finally, no Hunger Games conversation is complete without a discussion of the love triangle surrounding young Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence. The director says that after competing in two brutal Games, Katniss is more damaged, confused and angry than ever. And now that Katniss is separated from Peeta, “Obviously he becomes an objective for her, but Gale is right there, so that’s always a tricky situation.” Love the one you’re with, Katniss. Love the one you’re with.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 opens November 21, 2014.

NEW THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 POSTERS HIGHLIGHT THE REBELLION

Watch out, President Snow.

27 AUG 2014 BY ERIC GOLDMAN

Several new posters have debuted for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, spotlighting those fighting in the rebellion against President Snow.

While there's one familiar face from the series, Gale (Liam Hemsworth), the rest of the group are new characters introduced in this film. Game of Thrones fans will of course recognize Natalie Dormer as Cressida, in a role that called for her to shave one side of her head. Also playing rebels are Mahershala Ali (House of Cards, The 4400) as Boggs, Elden Henson (Idle Hands; Foggy Nelson in Netflix's upcoming Daredevil series) as Pollux, Evan Ross (90210) as Messalla and Wes Chatham (The Unit) as Castor.

Check out all the posters in the gallery below.

3rd book was a convoluted mess and unless they do some serious character development I won't care about the major events happening on film as I did in the book. The 1st book is the book that should have been split into two movies IMO.

I hope they change that horrible ending. And the overall assault on Katniss' character that occurs through the last book.

I can't finish the last book. Lost interest about a 3rd into it. The story just lost it's appeal.

CHECK OUT THE NEW KATNISS EVERDEEN POSTER FOR THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY, PART 1

The Girl on Fire goes for a darker pose.

4 SEP 2014 BY EVAN CAMPBELL

While many members of the Rebellion have gotten standalone posters, Katniss Everdeen has been a notable absence in prints for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1.

That has finally changed with the poster below, though we only see the backside of Katniss (portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence). The Katniss Rebel Warrior Teaser Poster debuted exclusively in the official mobile application "Our Leader the Mockingjay."

The new image focuses instead on her winged armor — conveying her transformation into the Mockingjay — as well as her iconic bow and arrows.

There is also the quote, "I am. I will." on the bottom of the poster, the only two lines spoken by Katniss in the teaser trailer for Mockingjay, Part 1.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 is slated to come out November 20 in the UK and November 21 in the United States.

Official Trailer #1

Can't wait! Everyone I know hates the 3rd book, but it was my favorite book in the series. So grim, fukked up and real, IMO.

I hope they change that horrible ending. And the overall assault on Katniss' character that occurs through the last book.

What was unrealistic about Katniss in the 3rd book? She's human, not superwoman. I thought it was one of the realest endings I've ever read for a YA book.
