It's here! The new theatrical trailer (released during the 2013 San Diego Comic Con) for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013) is finally here! The new film takes its lead from the first, where Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) won the 74th Annual Hunger Games and now have to return home to the what will inevitably be trouble. The new trailer opens to Katniss lonesomely walking through Victors' Village, there's snow falling, and we are being set up for some dramatic tension. Cue dramatic family embrace between Katniss and younger sister Primrose. Cutting away from that we see Peeta and Katniss chugging along and as they whizz past we are treated to more mockingjay symbols as a sign of 'hope.' Next, a Morgan Freeman lookalike raises his three fingers in the air as we have previously seen from the former film, and also we are treated to some awkward Peeta/Katniss exchanges as the former protests against the notion that they have to have different on/off screen relationships. Oh Peeta bread, when will you learn? Riots and outbreaks emerge and then we are thrust into a conversation between Mr. Crazy Eyebrows (President Snow, portrayed by Donald
Sutherland) and his friend, who are talking about eliminating Katniss. Then more rioting ensues and Morgan Freeman lookalike is dragged to the front of the stage and people are being beaten left, right and centre. Rather predictably, Mr. Crazy Eyebrows then announces that the 75th Hunger Games will be comprised of previous champions, uh oh, better go hide Peeta.
Once again, Katniss sees herself and Peeta be chosen, and in comes Purple Ponytail aka Caeser Flickerman (played by Stanley Tucci) looking as fabulously flamboyant as ever and introduces a reluctant Katniss, who emerges in a white ensemble. Then begins the ever dramatic montage of people fighting, backing track blazing and people training to survive. We are reminded that this is what we have been waiting for, and as the trailer concludes, a close up of Katniss is accompanied by the suitable words 'remember who the real enemy is' and in she dives into the deep depths of the unknown. The trailer also features Gale (Liam Hemsworth) trying to muscle in on Peeta's fantasies, Effie (Elizabeth Banks) looking particularly dashing in gold and beautiful Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) and Cinna (Lenny Kravitz). All in all, it's looking like a good one, so don't miss out when The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is set to be released on the 22nd November 2013.
