“Mockingjay Part 1” is the beginning of the end to Katniss Everdeen’s story. Back in August, director Francis Lawrence explained how the production adapted the final “Hunger Games” novel.
“Instead of changing the plot and changing characters what we did was have the opportunity to show scenes that could have been happening at different times in the book,” Lawrence told EW.
“For us it’s world expansion instead of changing things. I think it’s exciting for the fan to see certain things. So we’ve been able to open the world up in this and see some new places. We get to see some new districts this time and the scope gets quite large.”
Katniss is entering a difficult time in her life where she is faced with making decisions she never wanted to make. The character is torn between helping Peeta in the Capitol, but wanting to keep her District 12 loved ones safe from President Snow’s fury.
“It’s a very confusing, conflicted, complicated time for Katniss,” Lawrence explained. “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.”
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1” is slated to hit theaters on Nov. 21.
