This post will surely be ridiculously long by the time I’m finished with it… The first actual Teaser Trailer has been released that isn’t a faux propaganda piece from The Capitol. The marketing guys for this movie are smart, very smart.
First Teaser Trailer – 28/07/2014
Second Faux Propaganda Trailer – 10/07/14
The second trailer for the next installment of The Hunger Games movie saga has been released. These are so simple but effective and they’re getting me really excited for the movie. Props to the PR and Marketing guys behind these, using Panem propaganda is amazing, and this broadcast is interrupted by District 13 – LOVE it!
Original Post and First Trailer Below:
It’s HERE!!! Squeee! I’m so excited for this!! The Teaser Trailer is in the style of a Capitol production! And yes, I had so many problems with the third book – I’ll keep this non-spoilery – but really Suzanne, what were you thinking?? No more words though, enjoy 😉
Are you looking forward to Mockingjay Part One? Did you like the third book or did you have issues with some of the plotline??

Oh jeez, I seriously teared up when I saw Peeta. 😦 I really like Mockingjay, and I’m looking forward to some extra Peeta scenes (missing from the book, but there is such a HUGE opportunity for the film), even though they’ll probably KILL me. It’s hard to keep this comment vague and non-spoilery, but I tried. 😉

I KNOW!!! I liked the book and series in general, but there were a few times with Peeta (you know what I’m talking about) where I was just, “Whhhhhhy”. And yes I agree, much more opportunity to show Peeta’s arc in the movie, which might help explain things better than the book did. I thought there should have been 4/5 books, the third one felt too rushed and wrapped up. R x

I love sharing trailers and other things I find on the inter-webs. I’ve about 3/4 drafts of things I’ve stumbled upon just waiting to be posted – and yes, I’d like a proper trailer too. Smart of them to take this approach though, I’ve seen the billboards and magazine ads that look like Capitol campaign images too. R x

It certainly wasn’t the best of the trio, but i liked it rather a lot. Except for that pesky epilogue. I liked it when the people who made it back to 12 got back and were… less than happy… I wanted it to end there. It seemed right. I hate a forced everything-resolved ending.
The films are nothing on the books (and never can be; there is so much detail they just can’t include), but i enjoy them well enough and am looking forward to this one.

I agree – it was wrapped up in a bow when it could have slowed down a little and explained things more. I thought when I watched the first movie that if I hadn’t read the books I’d have been pretty lost – I watched it with people who hadn’t read them and had to explain parts of it to them!

Okay. A movie trend that I’m getting tired of: movie adaptations of book series in which the final book is split into two movies. This is nothing more than a scheme to make more money off of material that wasn’t even originally the movie-maker’s to begin with, and I’m tired of it. You managed to get the other books down to one movie; why is the final book any different?
Also, as a friend of mine pointed out. This trend was probably started by Harry Potter. However, Harry Potter had to be split up or else they wouldn’t have been able to fit as much as they did into the movies. So, I just saw that Mockingjay is being split into two movies, and it was barely over 300 pages. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was over 700 pages…not seeing the logic here movie industry!
Sorry to rant. I am still excited for the movie, and I will still watch it, but I just can’t get over them splitting it up.

I’ve noticed that too and agree – though I did love the last Twilight movie (not so fussed on the others), and with Harry Potter I can see why they split it – those books are mammoth (though oddly the longest book was one movie) and there’s so much world building and detail in them. I mean, they had to leave Peeves out! The sheer number of YA books being made into movies is interesting too, there was a great post somewhere, I should try and find it, that listed them until 2015, If I Stay, Fallen, I didn’t think these were “big” enough to be movies. It’s a good thing because obviously the book industry is still very much alive and kicking, but it seems a little like overkill?? Am I only noticing this now because I’m aware of more books, whereas before I would have assumed it was a movie in its own right? Are movies ever not based on a book or comic? I was glad to see Delirium was being made into a TV Show instead of a movie, but then they went and cancelled it. Never apologise for ranting, they’re my favourite kind of comments, and as you can see I’m partial to one too!

No, I’ve noticed it too. Hollywood has gotten to where there aren’t any original ideas anymore. From a financial perspective, it does make sense to adapt books into movies because many popular books (especially young adult books) come with a built in audience that practically guarantees some kind of monetary gain. However, I don’t think Hollywood writers take into account that a book audience is different from a movie audience, and if they so much as screw up one little detail, that book audience will shun the movies like they were the plague. I guess I just wish Hollywood would understand that not everyone watches WANTS books to be adapted into movies if it’s not going to be done well. Also, you are already making enough money off this idea, why do you feel the need to attempt to make more by falsely lengthening the story like that? Another thing, I’m worried this trend of young adult books getting made into movies will negatively affect the author community in that more authors will just be out to make a buck and hope their story gets turned into a movie without actually caring about the story. Don’t get me wrong, I love it when they do a good job on an adaptation, but that just doesn’t happen as often as I would like.
