'Mockingjay Part 1' "Our Leader The Mockingjay" Trailer Debut

The LOOOONG awaited The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 "Our Leader The Mockingjay" teaser trailer finally made it's debut online tonight on The Hunger Games official facebook page! We got a preview of it at Comic Con (see our thoughts about the trailer HERE) and many fans went to participating Best Buy locations over the weekend to catch a preview. But we're so excited the EVERYONE can finally see the short but very sweet teaser. 

We get a look at Francis' violent yet gorgeous vision of the districts in rebellion, a peek at Natalie Dormer as Cressida, Robert Knepper as Antonius and Patina Miller as Paylor, plus we finally get a glimpse of a heartbreaking Katniss. Her pivotal line still leaves us with goosebumps, "I am. I will."

'Mockingjay Part 1' Trailer Debuts Tonight!

Fire burns brighter in the darkness. The all-new "Our Leader The Mockingjay" Mockingjay Part 1 Teaser Trailer debuts TONIGHT at 9p PT/12a ET. Watch it on The Hunger Games Facebook page!

The 'Mockingjay Part 1' Cast Signing at Comic Con

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.

'Mockingjay Part 1' Cast Presents "Our Leader the Mockingjay" Trailer at Comic Con

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).

Inside The 'Mockingjay' Capitol Gallery Samsung Experience at Comic Con

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!

'Mockingjay Part 1' at Comic Con - A Look at the Lionsgate Booth

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. 

Mockingjay at Comic Con - Preview Night

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!

Peeta, Johanna, BEETEE! 'Mockingjay Part 1' Second Teaser Trailer: 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!

Second 'Mockingjay Part 1' Teaser Trailer is Coming on Wednesday!

Jena Malone Talks 'Mockingjay' Cast & Fans on Windy City Live

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:

'Mockingjay Part 1' Teaser Trailer #2 Likely This Week

We could have a new Mockingjay teaser trailer by Thursday, tributes!!

Our friends at Quarter Quell say a 59 second long NEW teaser will be in US cinemas this week, to be shown with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes starting with Thursday previews. Hopefully, that means we'll see it online on CapitolTV (and The Hunger Games official YouTube channel) before the debut in theaters on Thursday.

This hasn't been confirmed by Lionsgate so please be advised. AND be sure to check with your local theater before heading out. Some theaters opted not to show the first Mockingjay teaser as expected before Transformers: Age of Extinction and many tributes were very disappointed.

Jennifer Lawrence at the Dior Haute Couture Fashion Show in Paris

 

Jennifer Lawrence was front row at the Dior Haute Couture Autumn/Winter presentation in Paris today, held in the gardens of the Musee Rodin. Jen was spotted having a little fun with Emma Watson - yes, we fangirled! Women's Wear Daily reported that the two of them nearly missed the whole thing:

Due to a power failure on the Eurostar, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Watson only just made it to the second show, held for clients. But Lawrence, who snapped pictures on her smartphone, had only one regret. “We should have shot some selfies,” she said backstage after the show, enthusing about the elaborate floral arrangements.

The Oscar-winning actress has become somewhat of a regular in the French capital. Last month she was shooting “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2” in the less-than-ritzy suburbs of Paris, and is now back in town for couture. Does she feel like she has gone from one extreme to the other? “Yes, and I feel like I still don’t know Paris,” she said with a laugh.

Jen and Dior designer Raf Simons backstage

As you probably know, Jennifer is the face of Miss Dior handbags, and the perks (or requirements?) of the gig include jet-setting to couture shows and fabulous private dinners. Jen went to the private Dior dinner in Paris after the show.
