Eight whole months before the worldwide premiere of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2," Lionsgate released a teaser trailer that aims to help viewers remember all the significant events that led to Katniss Everdeen's (Jennifer Lawrence) current position in Panem's rebellion against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and the Capitol.
In the trailer titled "Remember," only the burning Mockingjay symbol is shown. With accompanying voice clips from the previous films, the symbolic bird slowly transforms from being confined inside a golden circle to a bird ready to strike using its arrow, until it eventually embraces the fire within and breaks the ring that encloses it. It claims the freedom that the rest of Panem had long been hoping for by stopping the oppression from the Capitol officials.
The second part of the series finale aims to tie the loose ends left by "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1." Those who saw the film will recall that Katniss and Gale (Liam Hemsworth) managed to successfully extract Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and Johanna (Jena Malone) from the claws of the Capitol. The challenge left for Katniss and the rest of the rebels in Part 2 is to stand against the powerful forces of the Capitol with the help of District 13 commanders and the other Hunger Games victors like Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), Finnick (Sam Claflin) and Beetee (Jeffrey Wright).
If the film will stay faithful to the events in the trilogy written by Suzanne Collins, the upcoming events in "Mockingjay — Part 2" will be more explosive and action-packed compared to the first part, wherein Katniss was still unsure about her role in the uprising and she did not want to launch a full blown attack on the Capitol because of Peeta's safety. But now that Peeta has been rescued, there is nothing to stop the Girl on Fire from destroying the Capitol and its tyrant president. But she and the rebels will not get the peace that they are hoping for without a few casualties.
Aside from the trailer, the latest standard movie poster was also released. There is bound to be more trailers to come out until the movie hits theaters later this year. "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2" will premiere internationally on Nov. 20.
