President Snow has sent another ominous warning to Katniss Everdeen in the latest teaser for “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1.”
The 15-second video features Katniss picking up a white rose most likely sent to her by President Snow. The official “Mockingjay Part 1” trailer will be released on Sept. 15.
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” picks up in District 13 where Katniss was taken after the 75th Quarter Quell. She’s confused, angry and reluctant to take part in the rebellion, even though she’s become the symbol for the movement.
Director Francis Lawrence recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly back in August about the upcoming film, explaining Katniss’ hesitation to become a leader.
“It’s a very confusing, conflicted, complicated time for Katniss,” Lawrence told EW. “Having gone through the games one more time and having lost Peeta and having been run through the wringer, she’s even more damaged. So you find her in a more agitated place. She’s distraught, confused, angry.”
It doesn’t help Katniss’ situation that she’s dealing with her feelings for Peeta and Gale. Peeta is a prisoner of the Capitol, but Gale is with her in District 13. Katniss doesn’t want to hurt Gale, whom she’s cared for deeply all of her life, but she can't hide her concern for Peeta's life.
“With Mockingjay – Part I it’s tricky because Peeta is out of reach for her,” Lawrence said. “Obviously he becomes an objective for her, but Gale is right there, so that’s always a tricky situation.”
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, Woody Harrelson, Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Donald Sutherland, Stanley Tucci, Natalie Dormer and more.
The third installment of the “Hunger Games” film franchise is slated to hit theaters on Nov. 21.
