THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY – PART 1 first full-length trailer previews the rebellion

Katniss leads a rebellion in first full-length Mockingjay trailer

Last week we got a fiery character poster of Katniss for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, and now the first full-length trailer for the film has finally arrived. It seems like we’ve waited quite a while for the the stakes to get this high in regards to rebellion and resistance on Panem, with the first two movies focusing mostly on the games, and it’s great to get a preview of a world swept up in the uprising.

As someone who hasn’t read the books, it’s been a bumpy ride up to this point in the film franchise for me. That said, the new trailer is pretty promising. Give it a watch after the jump.

Again, it’s nice to see outside the recently-popped bubble of the Hunger Games themselves, and bringing in a new batch of characters with their own motivations and perspectives could help a franchise that seems to be losing a bit of its fire.

Here’s a plot synopsis for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 to catch us up on the story so far:

The worldwide phenomenon of The Hunger Games continues to set the world on fire with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, which finds Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever.
