'Mockingjay Part 1' Worldwide Trailer Debuts

Hope truly IS stronger than fear. The long-awaited Mockingjay Part 1 theatrical trailer finally debuted today at TheHungerGamesExclusive.com.

Though the trailer is shorter than the average theatrical trailer, it still packed an epic emotional punch, showing us more of our beloved Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, and her transition from survivor to reluctant leader of Panem's rebellion.

And Everlark lovers REJOICE! We got a hearbreaking peek at Peeta Mellark in the Capitol and Katniss' first look at him. "You're alive."

The new trailer deftly illustrates what Francis Lawrence has been saying about the narrative of Part 1: “With Mockingjay – Part I it’s tricky because Peeta is out of reach for her. Obviously he becomes an objective for her, but Gale is right there, so that’s always a tricky situation. Those objectives became the motives for us."

 "Miss Everdeen, it's the things we love most that destroy us." will be haunting us forever. 

Tickets for Mockingjay Part 1 go on sale October 29th! 

Behind the Scenes of 'Mockingjay Part 1' With The Hunger Games Exclusive

The Hunger Games Exclusive Series 2 debuted today along with the Mockingjay Part 1 worldwide trailer. The new issue is packed with behind the scenes photos and exclusive interviews with the cast including Q & As with Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Natalie Dormer, character close-ups of Boggs, Pollux, Castor and Messalla, and, of course, the epic new trailer (see it HERE). 

There is far too much to post here but check out a couple of our favorite photos from the site, and some lovely quotes from Jennifer Lawrence:

Josh and Liam are my best friends. And we’ve got the best crew that we’ve known for years. I don’t have to be ‘on’ all the time in front of them because they feel like my family.”

Jennifer on what she kept as a memento from the set:

The bow! Our props master told me that he could get me a new one because they made a few of them. But I want the one that Katniss is using while we shoot. It’s all scratched up. That bow means a lot to me.”

See it all at TheHungerGamesExclusive.com. And check out our gallery for more images from 'Mockingjay Part 1.'

District 8??) is all we get to warm us up for the big debut of the official Mockingjay Part 1 worldwide trailer, The Mockingjay Lives. Are you excited, tributes?

Tune in around 9:00am PT/ noon ET (our best guess on the time ) at TheHungerGamesExclusive.com to watch the trailer AND check out Series 2 featuring exclusive behind the scenes interviews and images!

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth + Cast Spotted in Berlin

The paparazzi has found them already! Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth were both spotted outside Soho House Hotel in Berlin yesterday. The cast is in Germany to complete work on Mockingjay.

And after being spotted in Madrid several times yesterday, Josh Hutcherson showed up in a fan pic this morning that was hashtagged #Berlin. It looks like it could be in the airport. But we don't have confirmation that this is ACTUALLY in Berlin so, for now, just enjoy a photo of Josh in a unconfirmed location!
