Mockingjay Trailer 1 Released: Hunger Games In HD

This morning the folks at Lionsgate have released the first trailer for the Hunger Games: Mockingjay. Peeta appears, on the wrong side of the battle. Katniss "spreads her wings" as the Mockingjay. There's a lot of drama going on.

This film will be released by Lionsgate in association with Color Force. Directed by Francis Lawrence, this film's screenplay was written by Danny Strong and Peter Craig. Nina Jacobson's Color Force worked with producer Jon Kilik to produce this film, while author Suzanne Collins book "Mockingjay" continues to sell well – over 65 million copies are in print right this minute.

Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth star in this film. Elizabeth Banks and Woody Harrelson will join the likes of Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman – whose scenes were filmed before his untimely death.

Donald Sutherland, Stanley Tucci, and Jeffrey Wright also join Natalie Dormer, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, and Willow Shields.

This installment in the film series will be released on November 21st, 2014. The next film (Part 2) will be released in November the following, in 2015. The first Hunger Games was released in March of 2012, then Catching Fire was released in November of 2013.

Supposing November 22nd for Catching Fire and November 21st for Part 1 hold true, we'll likely see Part 2 on around November 21st, 2015. Can't wait!
