We told you HERE about Lionsgate's Cinema Con presentation today, and it's been reported that we'll get to see a little more Catching Fire footage at this presentation. It's rumored (but not confirmed) that Sam Claflin is making an appearance at the annual theater owner's convention.
Elizabeth Banks just confirmed that she's there to talk Catching Fire, in addition to receiving the Excellence in Acting Award at tonight's Big Screen Achievement Awards Gala.
We'll update this post with more news about Catching Fire at Cinema Con.

Sadly, no new footage was revealed at Lionsgate's presentation this afternoon. Though the studio did get a snazzy new logo:
Liam Hemsworth, Elizabeth Banks, and director Francis Lawrence were on hand to introduce the teaser trailer and Lawrence says the film is officially wrapped and he's busy cutting it. The trailer will premiere in theatres in 2 weeks ahead of Iron Man 3! At least we'll all be able to enjoy it on the big screen.
