Before the first film was released, many people compared THE HUNGER GAMES to the TWILIGHT series. It's probably an unfair comparison (more so for THE HUNGER GAMES), but with how well the first film performed in theaters I think it's obvious that even though the two series may share some similarities, THE HUNGER GAMES has its own identity and people really enjoyed Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss.
Most fans of the books and film are just as rabid as Twi-hards, and after the teaser for THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE was released, many have been anxiously waiting for news on a full trailer. Yahoo! Movies has a new exclusive photo from the upcoming film (featuring Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson as Peeta and Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket) plus news that the a trailer will be shown on Saturday at SDCC.
"Lot of flippin' good that does me; I'm not at Comic-Con! Thanks for rubbing it in!" is probably what you're yelling at the screen, but the good news is the trailer will be released online immediately after at 1:35 p.m. PT on Saturday. But before you start celebrating, think about THE HUNGER GAMES fans who probably paid a shit ton of money to see exclusive things about the film, and one of those things will be exclusive for about as long as it takes Yahoo!'s tech guy to upload the new trailer onto the site. Kind of lame when you think about it.
Starring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Stanley Tucci, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, Amanda Plummer, Jeffrey Wright, and Alan Ritchson, THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE will be in theaters on November 22nd, 2013.
