"Hunger Games" fans are divided as Nov. 20 looms. This is when the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" bows in theaters. Finally they will see the end of the franchise but at the same time it is sad because that is going to be the last installment in the franchise. No more "Hunger Games" movie after November or is it?
According to a report from MoviePilot, Lionsgate is thinking of doing a prequel where a young Haymitch is the center of the story. The said prequel may follow him as he won the Hunger Games back when he was young. The prequel may also show the war that taken place between the Capitol and district 13 that was never shown in any of the films. According to MoviePilot, Lionsgate s looking into different characters and storylines that will serve as the spine of the prequel it is planning. The studio is said to be brainstorming a concept similar with how Warner bros is doing with Harry Potter's "fantastic beasts and where to find them.
The "Hunger Games" franchise is at a definite point of being a global phenomenon. Proof of which is that the fourth and final installment gets to be release in China on Nov. 20 and will have its first-ever premiere in Beijing on Nov. 12, Variety reported. The announcement from Lionsgate came two weeks after the first clip of the film was released.
In the clip released by Fandango, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), the best warrior in Panem, seethes as Boggs (Mahershala Ali) told her that she will instead be the onscreen face of the revolution against the Capitol. Together with Finnick (Sam Claflin) and Gale (Liam Hemsworth), she will fight under the non-combat unit instead.
"Squad 451, you're my unit. Lt. Jackson is my second in command. Each one of you is elite in some form of combat, but we are a non-combat unit. So, we'll be following days behind the frontline troops," Boggs said as shown in the first clip from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2."
"You're to be the onscreen faces of the invasion, the star squad. It's been decided that you're most effective when seen by the masses," Cressida then told the group. Gale tried to protest but Boggs told him off: "You'll do whatever you're ordered to do, soldier. It's not your job to ask question."
"You are considered high value targets in The Capitol," Boggs continued. He then continued to show the squad a holo that contains a map of The Capitol which contains pots that contain anything that could kill them. Finnick whispers to Katniss, doubtful of how the events are unfolding: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 76th Hunger Games."
The movie so it seems will stay loyal with the book's ending. According to Hypable, actress Lawrence inadvertently revealed that her nephew was cast to play Katniss and Peeta's son during Comic-Con 2015. In the book's ending, Katniss and Peeta got married and they had a son. Lawrence was talking about how Hutcherson was playing with her nephew in the field. But then Lawrence suddenly stopped talking, having realized that she had revealed a big spoiler.
