As Panem prepares for all-out war, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) primes herself both physically and emotionally. Effie (Elizabeth Banks), on the other hand, takes care of getting her style in check and making her look good as she brings The Capitol down to its knees. This is what the new still image from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2" shows.
Exclusively revealed by Entertainment Weekly, the new image shows Katniss and Effie sharing a warm moment as they get ready for what's to come. The deaths, sacrifices and pain all come down to this moment when the districts join forces to put a stop to President Snow's coldblooded tyranny.
As director Francis Lawrence revealed to the aforementioned site, the concluding film in the franchise will showcase chock-full of courageous women, with Jennifer Lawrence at the fore and with the likes of Banks, Michelle Forbes, Natalie Dormer and Gwendoline Christie at her back.
"There is some serious girl power in this movie," Francis Lawrence told the aforementioned site. "[Author Suzanne Collins] wrote it that way, and it's been so much fun to inhabit."
Describing the movie, the helmer declared it as the "most emotional" and the "most satisfying of the bunch." That simply is his way of saying that moviegoers will have to prepare a box of tissues before watching.
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2" continues Katniss' battle for Panem's freedom by preparing to assassinate the merciless leader who oppresses them all. President Snow is up for the challenge as he devises his own plans to send Katniss and all districts biting the dust. It's amazing how this full-scale crusade was instigated by Katniss' desire to save her little sister Prim from joining such brutal competition for the amusement of the Capitol.
The upcoming film, which will open in theaters on Nov. 20, will be the final film in the franchise, stitching the whole series all together.
