The "rebel warriors" (Natalie Dormer, Mahershala Ali, Wes Chatham, Elden Henson and Evan Ross) did an autograph session at the Lionsgate booth after presenting the trailer at Comic Con. Check out some video from the signing thanks to our friends at QuarterQuell.org.

Natalie Dormer, Mahershala Ali, Wes Chatham, Elden Henson and Evan Ross were on hand today at Comic Con to present the new "Our Leader the Mockingjay" Mockingjay Part 1 trailer to guests at the Captiol Gallery Experience at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego.
We were lucky enough to attend a press preview of the new trailer with some of the other Hunger Games fan sites, and got to do a meet and greet with cast members Mahershala Ali, Wes Chatham, Elden Henson and Evan Ross. They were SO generous, kind, and sweet with all of us! Thanks so much, guys!
The fansite meet & greet. I'm in the front row in a green jacket + leopard shoes.
Natalie wasn't at the meet and greet (SAD FACE) she was running in from another panel. But she did get there in time to introduce the trailer to a very excited crowd on the Capitol Gallery floor, then all of the cast members took photos with the fans there. Natalie Dormer is a queen. She said something nice to every single fan snapping photos with her today.
We watched the trailer in a heavily-secured room, all bags were checked, and armed peacekeepers (and real security) watched our every move. This sucker is NOT leaking - at least not from Comic Con. You watch the trailer in individual pods on Samsung devices with head-sets.
While I'd love to spill every last detail about the trailer to ALL OF YOU, about half of you don't want to be spoiled. So we'll give you our spoiler-free take on what we saw.
Even though it’s only 1 minute long, the Our Leader the Mockingjay trailer feels enormous. It's violent. It's epic. My favorite thing about it is the look and feel of the districts. You’ll recognize a few right off the bat, and how Francis captures them is very unique but still beautifully faithful to the books. And Katniss. We see Katniss and she breaks your heart. The “I am. I will.” line you’ve been hearing all day will give you goosebumps long after you watch it.
Can't wait to fangirl/boy over this one with all of you! It looks like the trailer will be online this Monday, July 28, at midnight ET (that’s 9pm PT on Sunday and 5am BST on Monday).
Mockingjay Part 1 may not have had a Hall H panel at Comic-Con this year but they certainly had a presence. The Mockingjay Part 1 "Capitol Gallery" inside the Hard Rock Hotel outside San Diego Comic Con is unbelievable, immersive experience with multiple stations to explore. And plenty of free swag to obtain. We got a much closer look at the exhibit today.
You can snap a photo with one of the many peacekeepers stationed around the exhibit, or with Peeta and Johanna while perched in President Snow's throne.
You can also grab a bite at Peeta's Bakery and a pressed juice at Haymitch's Elixirs.
There is a station to make a shirt, tank or bag with a district on it (very popular, long lines), and the Gallery of Heroes, featuring the District Heroes posters. Eight stations in all and a LOT of cool (free!) stuff to take home!
Those nutty peacekeepers!
We spent a little more time at the Lionsgate booth today at San Diego Comic Con. Mockingjay is definitely the big presence at the booth, along with The Expendables and Divergent. The guys playing the peacekeepers are clearly having a blast, posing for pictures and pretty much doing anything you ask them to do. And the costumes are badass.
An apple a day keeps the Rebellion away?
You can also check out the Hall of Heroes and see holograms of Peeta Mellark and Johanna Mason rotating in the window.
We are lucky enough to be attending Comic Con this year, and since we couldn't bring all of you with us (though we sure we we could) we'll try to get you as close to the action as possible through pictures and updates. Wednesday night was preview night at Comic Con and Mockingjay Part 1 is a huge presence at the Lionsgate booth - shocker!

You can snap a photo with a peacekeeper at the Samsung Galaxy Hall of Heroes (booth #4045) and see the Capitol Citizen Living Portraits of Peeta Mellark and Johanna Mason, which are actually rotating holograms. Really amazing.
This ticket being handed out at Lionsgate's booth gets you into the Mockingjay trailer viewings on Friday:
Photo courtesy HypableMembers of the Mockingjay cast will be signing autographs at the Lionsgate booth #4045 on Friday afternoon from 3:00 - 4:00pm. The Mockingjay Part 1 teaser trailer will be presented at the Capitol Gallery in The Hard Rock Hotel on Friday at noon. Get there early and make sure to get your ticket at the Lionsgate booth first! We'll be covering the event and will bring you all the details - spoiler free - about the trailer presentation.
Looks like those crafty rebels hacked ANOTHER one of The Capitol's social media accounts. A new Mockingjay Part 1 rebellion poster was revealed piece by piece on The Capitol's One Panem instagram account this morning. The posts have since been deleted. Check out the poster below:
This poster is the exclusive Comic Con Mockingjay Part 1 poster. Hopefully, we'll get our hands on some copies this weekend - we're at Comic Con this year! We'll keep you posted.
Capitol Couture has relaunched with issue number four, Fida Coeur, and new Capitol portraits of Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark and Jena Malone as Johanna Mason. Capitol Couture has also posted gorgeous and heartbreaking new motion posters ("Living Portraits") of both Peeta and Johanna.
Capitol Couture is proud to commemorate President Snow’s “One Panem” initiative with a brand new Special Issue of Capitol Couture focusing on collaborations in art, fashion, and design. Today we celebrate the incredible achievements coming out of the Capitol—the beating heart of Panem. Gaze upon the fervently awaited Capitol Citizen Living Portraits presented by Capitol Couture featuring your cherished victors Johanna Mason and Peeta Mellark as they stand proudly before Panem.
The site teases that the "Living Portraits" will be available for viewing this summer. Will they be displayed as "astoundingly realistic hologram displays" as Capitol Couture promises?
See it all at CapitolCouture.PN

There's always a flaw in the system. Beetee is at it again! Yesterday, TheCapitol.PN tweeted a very cryptic message that was quickly deleted:
The letters at the end of the tweet are the notes in Rue's Whistle!
When you head over to TheCapitol.PN and right click to inspect element (or view page source) the following message is embeded into the code:
What will Beetee hack next, tributes? The rebellion is coming. The Mockingjay lives!
The second teaser trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, "Unity" is out today! The Capitol propaganda campaign continues, this time with a surprising appearance from Jena Malone as Johanna Mason and an awesome pirate transmission from Beetee in District 13! Check it out:
Obviously, WE really love the way they're staying completely in-universe and playing up the propaganda angle. (We ARE Panem Propaganda, after all!) This is exactly what a ruler like Snow would do, right? Put on an opulent show of unity (with armed peacekeepers) while the country burns all around him. It strays slightly from the book by adding Johanna to the propos, but makes it all the more disquieting. Why wouldn't President Snow use everyone at his disposal to sell his false hope to Panem? And *SPOILERS* the pristine blonde wig, matching Peeta (and looking a little Aryan nation, eww) covering up what we know is her shaved head.
And what can we say about the perfect "pirate transmission from District 13" but THE MOCKINGJAY LIVES!! Go Beetee!
Wonder if we'll get another addition to President Snow's little puppet gallery in the next trailer? Will there be teasers for Unity, Prosperity and Sacrifice, the tagline from the first Panem address? What if Annie and Enobaria are added in the next two?
Let us know what you thought of "Unity" in the comments!
The second teaser for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 will debut tomorrow, Wednesday, July 9th online. Be sure to check Capitol TV and The Hunger Games Youtube channel to view. We'll update you with times as soon as we find out anything. It will likely be around the same time as today's announcement - 10:00am PT/1:00pm ET/6:00pm BST.
Jena Malone made an appearance on Windy City Live in Chicago ahead of her performance with The Shoe at the Thompson Chicago on July 7th.
Jena spoke a little about The Hunger Games films, the cast and the fandom at the tail end of the video (about 6 min in).
The host asked her, "Are you still pinching yourself about how big this movie is and the craze surrounding it?"
Jena replied,
"It's always hard to conceive that amount of people and that amount of, you know, all of that. But it's so easy to work on this film because the people are so amazing. And we formed such an incredible family. And for me, like, the fanbase has been SO beautiful, and just, like, honest and supportive. And to just have this army of teenage girls and boys that are so passionate about something, for me, that's really inspiring."
Jena and Lem Jay Ignacio also performed on the show:
Panem Today. Panem Tomorrow. Panem Forever. Check out the loooong awaited Mockingjay Part 1 teaser trailer! A stark white set and a very serious Donald Sutherland as President Snow addresses Panem on Capitol TV. And look who's next to The Snowster! Hijacked Peeta! Well, maybe not quite hijacked yet, but Josh Hutcherson as Peeta looking more than a little lost, eluding to much of what's been going on since we left the arena in Catching Fire. Who didn't LOSE IT when Peeta looks into the camera on the last beat?
We adore that Lionsgate is going full in-universe propaganda on this teaser and we can't wait to see what they have in store for the rest of the campaign. Yay! We LOVE it!
CITIZENS: Prepare for an important announcement. Your President addresses the nation of Panem, tonight on Capitol TV.

Stanley Tucci finished his work on the upcoming two-part Mockingjay a few months ago, only on set for a handful of days before putting the role of flamboyant talk show host Caesar Flickerman to bed for good. He talked with MTV's Josh Horowitz about Mockingjay, the cast, and saying goodbye to Caesar.
“In the last two, he has a bit less to do,” Tucci said. “But it was great nonetheless. They’re great movies.”
Even though his final moments with the character were brief, Tucci cherished the opportunity to sink those pearly-white teeth into Caesar one last time.
“Those are great people, and it’s such a fun character. So much fun,” he said. “I got to know Woody Harrelson, who I adore. Josh and Jennifer, of course. The loveliest people. Lovely people.”
“I was very sad to say goodbye to them,” he continued. “You don’t always feel that way when you finish a movie.”
Josh Hutcherson called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to talk about the last two installments of Mockingjay, as well as The Josh Hutcherson Celebrity Basketball Game, which takes place on August 8. This must've been pre-taped because we all know Mockingjay wrapped on Friday.
“Tomorrow is our final wrap day for all the Hunger Games,” explains Josh. “One more day, and it’s a very bittersweet ending.”
And when the wrap celebration happens, he jokes, ”I think people are going to party pretty hard. They’ve been shooting this for nine months now … we started in October last year.”
As for Josh’s Celebrity Basketball Game, the 5’7″ actor — who plays for his gay-straight alliance, Straight But Not Narrow – explained how he makes it to the hoop. “It’s a low center of gravity thing, I just make it work. You’ve got to be quick … It’s the third year we’ve done this event. And it’s getting bigger and bigger every year. And so much fun every time.”
Tickets for The Josh Hutcherson Celebrity Basketball Game go on sale today at 10 a.m. at Nike3On3.com.
And did you notice how he avoided confirming that hiccup story?
Josh, Woody, Liam and JenniferWell, that was emotional! Filming for Mockingjay wrapped yesterday and The Hunger Games series is finished filming forever. Sure, there could be a few reshoots, but Josh Hutcherson is already back to brunette and the cast of our beloved films have been sharing their parting thoughts on social media.
Director Francis Lawrence made it official on twitter:
Producer Nina Jacobson tweeted the photo above (and see photo guide below) with the caption:
"That’s a wrap. Thank you Suzanne Collins. Thank you Francis Lawrence. Thank you HG Fans. Other than that, I’m speechless."
Handy little photo guide thanks to @everlark4evaaaa
Sam Claflin took to twitter this morning with a 3-tweet-long message that siad:
“I just want/need to express my many thanks to everyone (cast, crew & fans) who have worked so hard for so long to make The Hunger Games experience what it is. But for also trusting me enough to let me be part of it. I feel privileged, honored and so very lucky to have shared this opportunity with so many passionate & talented people.”
Willow Shields posted this lovely photo and caption to her instagram:

What a huge part of my life and I wanna thank all of you beautiful people for supporting our series all the way! Are you excited or are you EXCITED to see Mockingjay?
And some of our other cast members tweeted their thoughts as well:

TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE PROUD MEN AND WOMEN WHO LIVE AND BREATHE THEIR DISTRICTS. TODAY WE ARE ONE PANEM
We've been waiting to find out what was going to happen at The Capitol.PN since that hypnotizing spinning Capitol symbol first appeared there last Friday. Today, TheCapitol.PN relaunched with a bang - and some incredibly well-done Mockingjay propaganda District Heroes posters.
Our initial thoughts of, "Where are the pictures of the cast?" were quickly replaced once we looked a little deeper into the campaign. Isn't this just what The Capitol would do? Use propaganda during a rebellion to try to unify the country? And use (probably) Capitol citizens to stand in for the people of the districts - including District 12- which fans would understand, didn't exist at the end of Catching Fire?
We're excited that this might be just the start of a larger Capitol propaganda campaign that might end with some rebel hacks, some beautiful posters of our cast and, at least by Comic Con, a trailer. If the district heroes look this good, imagine Peeta in Capitol propaganda.
Bring it on!
Be sure to read more about each District Hero at TheCapitol.PN and sign up for updates from CapitolTV. See the full size pics in our Gallery.
