'Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' Release Date 2014, Director Lawrence Promises 'Two Distinct Stories' for Part 1 & 2 (VIDEO)
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) will be trying times as she reluctantly becomes a rebel leader. Director Francis Lawrence gave some insight about the upcoming film.
"It's a very confusing, conflicted, complicated time for Katniss," shares director Francis Lawrence to Entertainment Weekly. "Having gone through the games one more time and having lost Peeta and having been run through the wringer, she's even more damaged. So you find her in a more agitated place. She's distraught, confused, angry."
"There's definitely some battles. There's some of the first glimpses of real war in this movie. And the scale gets quite big," he reveals. "There's an atonal shift from some of the last movies, but they're still very emotional, very sweeping, [on a] grand scale with some levity and humor."
The movie will stay close to the novel but promise that there will be some things that will "surprise even fans of the book."
"Instead of changing the plot and changing characters what we did was have the opportunity to show scenes that could have been happening at different times in the book," Lawrence says. "For us it's world expansion instead of changing things. I think it's exciting for the fan to see certain things. So we've been able to open the world up in this and see some new places. We get to see some new districts this time and the scope gets quite large."
The love triangle will continue between Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson).
"With Mockingjay - Part I it's tricky because Peeta is out of reach for her," shares the director. "Obviously he becomes an objective for her, but Gale is right there, so that's always a tricky situation."
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 has just released a new trailer teaser, which you can watch above. This is the first trailer for the new movie that stars Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence).
President Snow (Donald Sutherland) forbids any association with her Mockingjay symbol. In the last scene of the teaser, Katniss is asked, "Are you here to fight with us?" ... to which she responds, "I am. I will."
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is a few months away from it's highly anticipated November 2014 release starring Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson).
Katniss Everdeen's role in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is more vital than ever. This film will pick up immediately where the last film, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire left off. Katniss, is devastated to learn that her former home, District 12 of Panem, has been obliterated into ashes and her close friend and seemingly love interest, Peeta, has been taken captive by President Snow and the wicked forces of the nation's capitol. Katniss reluctantly becomes the beacon of hope and newfound leader of the rebel forces forming to wage war against the capitol - naming her as "The Mockingjay".
The novel on which the film is based is the third in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has over 65 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 is set to release to theaters on November 21, 2014.
