The Mockingjay Is Coming…

August 1, 2015 Fangirl Hunger Games, Jennifer Lawrence, Mockingjay Part 2

katniss-everdeen-mockingjay-part-2-1024x576 In case you missed it, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 full theatrical trailer has been released after it debuted at San Diego Comic-Con. To quote the L.A. Times, “it is loaded with spoilers from the final book,” although it’s debatable whether those who haven’t read the books can discern what is actually happening. According to a recent article in Entertainment Weekly, the trend for spoilers is based on consumer feedback.

If you have read The Hunger Games series and are interested in dissecting The Force Awakens teasers and theatrical trailer, Mockingjay Part 2’s trailer provides a good example of the ways movie-makers can provide context for the movie – in Mockingjay Part Two’s case it firmly establishes war comes to the Capitol and heroine Katniss is destined for a showdown with evil President Snow – but clearly misdirects how those events pan out.

The trailer for another Lawrence film, Joy, is also out now. The David O. Russell movie teams her with Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, her co-stars from Silver Linings Playbook, and is inspired by the life of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano. You’ll have to take a break from second, third, or fourth helpings of The Force Awakens to check out Joy, which opens Christmas Day.

Rising female-power star Amy Schumer proved she is a Lawrence fangirl when the Hunger Games actress mentioned her in an MTV interview. (via EW)
