The 'Mockingjay Part 2' Final Trailer

The Mockingjay Part 2 final trailer is FINALLY here for all to see! We bring you "Welcome To the 76th Hunger Games, " the official final Mockingjay Part 2 trailer. 

 

The final trailer is a slow build into intense action. With a runtime is 1:52, longer than any final trailer we've had for The Hunger Games franchise so far. 

This one hits some nice emotional beats and has some great action sequences. The opening shot of Katniss at Finnick and Annie's wedding is really gorgeous and the on-screen visualization of the pods was a big stand-out for me. Francis and his team somehow always visually adapt things just how you want them to be, yet 100 times better. There are quick peeks at almost every character in the film, including Johanna.

My favorite part? Katniss' line hasn't left me since I saw the trailer at Best Buy on Friday. She says it with such emotion in her voice, quaking with anger. I hear it in my head all day, seriously. It's so goose-bump worthy.  

Stop killing for him!"

There's not much new footage but more expansions of scenes we've already seen. As I watched it, I was thinking "Wow, they really want us to be surprised in the theater." 

It makes me really excited for the movie to open and leaves me wanting to see more. Much more. Like, today!

In addition to the trailer today, Revolution.PN has updated with some new gifs from the final Mockingjay Part 2 trailer. You can see them HERE

The sweetest part of the day was getting the #ThankYouFrancis trending on twitter during the final trailer debut. @FUCKINGEVERLARK on twitter had the idea to try and trend the hashtag today to show appreciation to director Francis Lawrence and we did it!! And Francis even tweeted his thanksso that was fun.  

What do you think of the final Mockingjay Part 2 trailer, tributes?

'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2' Most Anticipated Fall Release Ever 


According to Variety and consumer tracking company Piedmont Media Research, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 is the most hotly anticipated upcoming release. Piedmont polled 3,000 people about upcoming fall movies and both Mockingjay Part 2 and Star Wars: The Force Awakens were some of the highest ratings Piedmont has recorded since it began polling audiences five years ago.

The company rates consumer engagement on a scale of zero to 1,000, and the fourth and final Hunger Games installment had a 514 rating, beating last summer’s Avengers: Age of Ultron and its score of 509, as the best overall number it has ever recorded.

The Star Wars sequel posted a 495 rating, the third best figure since Piedmont began its surveys. It also had the best score among males that Piedmont has seen with 553. Females also are looking forward to the film, with their interest level hitting 383.

“Those are huge numbers,” said Joshua Lynn, president of Piedmont Media Research. “Every demographic is showing up for this.”

Variety noted that the people surveyed were selected to be demographically representative of the movie-going public in terms of age, gender, ticket-buying behavior and ethnicity. Piedmont also tries to quantify the impact that a film’s cast has on audiences. It polls people to find out if their interest rises or falls when a particular concept is matched to an actor and filmmaking team.

We'll see if those 3000 people were truly representative of the population come November!
