Molly Thu, September 11, 2014 The countdown the Mockingjay Part 1 trailer continues. No teaser clip today as was rumored, but we did get Gale.
Poor Gale, it did have to be him when people were hoping for another trailer clip. He just can't catch a break, can he?
The Mockingjay Part 1 official trailer "The Mockingjay Lives" debuts Monday, September 15th on TheHungerGamesExclusive.com.
Molly Thu, September 11, 2014 James Newton Howard's Mockingjay Part 1 score is being recorded today with a full orchestra at Air Studios' Lyndhurst Hall in London. Producer Nina Jacoson and Jena Malone both posted to their social media about the recording today (Jena later deleted - whoopsie!):
What we wouldn't give to have been in that room today! Can't wait to hear the score.
The Hanging Tree scene in Mockingjay Part 1 is one of the scenes Nina is most excited for the fans to see. She mentioned it in the Filmmaker Roundtable in Series 1 of TheHungerGamesExclusive.com:
I'm excited about what Francis Lawrence and [screenwriter] Peter Craig dreamed up for 'The Hanging Tree.' [They] came up with an incredible way of turning a powerful moment in the book into great big cinema."

Josh Hutcherson premiered his upcoming Escobar: Paradise Lost at TIFF and took part in all the requisite promotional activity including a Q&A, portrait sessions and all kinds of press. Check out some of the photos and video, plus a peek at the newest stills from the film (above).

Josh also talked to The Daily Beast about the theft of Jennifer Lawrence's personal photos and The Hunger Games movies while at the film festival.
“It’s fucking horrible,” he says. “I haven’t spoken to her [Jennifer Lawrence] since it happened, but as far as the public, Twitter, and media have reacted, it’s awful. We act because it’s what we want to do. I’ve acted since I was 9 years old because it’s my job, it’s what I’m good at, and it’s what I love to do. I don’t wantattention. I don’t want to have my private life looked into or have people think they deserve to know about my private life. And then people say, ‘Well, then you shouldn’t have become an actor. ’Fuck that. I didn’t choose all that. I chose to be an actor. I was 9 years old! Do you think a 9-year-old is thinking about public scandal? I wanted to make movies." He takes a long pause. “It makes you feel like you want to run away from it all and escape to a small island away from everybody.”
On not being typecast after The Hunger Games films:
“We got lucky!” he says. “I think it helps so much that Jennifer is who she is, and has done the work that she’s done. It gives us more credibility that we’re associated with her, since she’s been nominated for multiple Oscars and won one. Also, The Hunger Games didn’t create us. The makers brought all the cast members onto the project and helped create it. I think that’s a big reason why we’re not tied to it in a negative way.”
On wrapping the series:
“We filmed for nine months on the last one, so everyone was so tired that we didn’t have a big bash at the end,” he says. “I think it was because we were sad. Like, Fuck, this is done. We had a wrap party in Berlin and since we were all staying at the Soho House, we went to the rooftop a lot, but nothing major.”
On Philip Seymour Hoffman:
“I only had the privilege of sharing one scene with Hoffman, this ball dance scene in the last one, but I saw him around on set a lot,” he says. “It’s really crazy and shocking what happened. They had pretty much shot all his stuff, so they’re not going to do any weird, CG things to re-create him. They didn’t have to work around too much.”
Our sincere thanks to JoshHutchersonNews.net for the photos!

Molly Tue, September 9, 2014 Josh Horowitz got to spend a little time with Elizabeth Banks at Tiff while she was promoting her film Love and Mercy and, excellent fanboy that he is, Josh asked about Mockingjay wrapping up for good.
"It's done. I never get to play that role again, it's so sad. I cried my eyes out. I love, love, love Effie so much. I really love her and, yeah, it's over."
Horowitz said he was relieved that we get to see a little bit more of Effie in the last two films than the book would dictate. Banks replied, "They did [write a little bit more of Effie into the films]. I got lucky. It was VERY flattering and fun story for her actually. REALLY fun. To go from The Capitol to District 13 is a shock for anybody. I like how I talk about it like it's real life. (laughs) Anyway, she's there. She's the fish out of water. It's fun."
Molly Mon, September 8, 2014 Sam Claflin has been promoting The Riot Club at the Toronto International Film Festival, but MTV's Josh Horowitz snuck in a couple of questions about The Hunger Games: Mockingjay (and that's why we love ya, Josh!)

“It was bizarre,” Claflin said. “I think I’d said goodbye, and done all my goodbyes, and I remember feeling a little sad and anxious, kind of going, I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself for the rest of my life, I’m never going to work again.”
But Claflin’s fears were put to rest, pretty much immediately.
“After I said the final goodbye, they go, oh actually we need you to come in tomorrow to fill in this pick up,” Claflin said. “So I saw everybody the next day, and then I sort of left, and kind of felt a little weird.”
To add to the awkwardness, Claflin also left a week early, before most of the stars had wrapped on the movie.
“I got out early and avoided the whole heartbreak,” Claflin told us. But he added, “It’s really sad.”
Molly Mon, September 8, 2014 Sam Claflin, Jena Malone and Elizabeth Banks were at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this year to support various, separate projects outside The Hunger Games world.
Sam was on hand for the world premiere of his upcoming film, The Riot Club.

Jena Malone was at TIFF promoting her upcoming Time Out Of Mind, which she calls, "the most important film I've ever made." Jena was absolutely stunning at the premiere of the film. Time Out of Mind is due in theaters October 5th.

Curiously enough, the film was rewritten by screenwriter Oren Moverman, who also co-wrote and directed Jena Malone's TIFF film, Time Out of Mind.
