The new "Hunger Games Mockingjay" part 1 trailer is as much a shocker as the first, with Betee making an unwelcome appearance, confirming Katniss (a.k.a. The Mockingjay) is alive.
Fans of the book trilogy can't wait for the November launch of the film adaptation. The conclusion to "The Hunger Games" trilogy is actually split into two parts, offering the treat of an extended run, also rakes in more profits for New Line Cinema.
The new trailer is a tease like the first, with President Snow (played by Donald Sutherland) addressing the populace that Panem is in control, all is in order and at peace. There's a new advocate at his side, though.
Peeta (played by Josh Hutcherson) looked like his right-hand man in the first trailer, and now he introduces a new, very familiar tribute under his wing. Fans enjoy first glimpse of the domesticated Johanna Mason (Jena Malone), sharing the same vacant, but fierce stare as Peeta.
The new "Hunger Games Mockingjay" part 1 trailer suggests a brainwashed Peeta and an indoctrinated Johanna, but the real shocker is revealed when President Snow's address is interrupted by an unwelcome announcement.
The screen flickers and the uprising hacks into the broadcast. Betee (played by Jeffrey Wright) forces his way into the picture and announces The Mockingjay lives, following through on the end of "Catching Fire," where the uprising manages to pluck and save Katniss (played by Jennifer Lawrence) from the field of a concluded Hunger Games tournament.
It appears the teaser trailers will come in three installments; President Snow declares "unity, prosperity, and sacrifice" as essential for the Capitol's peace, and the recent trailer emphasizes on unity. It looks like fans are in for a serious shock when President Snow's third public address debuts.
The new "Hunger Games Mockingjay" part 1 trailer was released Wednesday, the film to launch in theatres November 21 (mtv.com).
