As part of the promo push for the start to the two film adaptation of the last book in author Suzanne Collins' trilogy- The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Lionsgate has started a series of viral videos.
The First Video shows an all-white dressed President Snow (Donald Sutherland) as he addresses the people of Panem, with the brainwashed Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) standing beside him.
The Second Video is more of the same but things gets hijacked.
Julianne Moore would play District 13 leader Alma Coin. In the book, she is in charge of the mysterious district where heroine Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) launches her fight against the tyrannical Capitol regime. The pair clash over Katniss' methods and motivations. "Game of Thrones," "Elementary" and "Captain America: The First Avenger" actress Natalie Dormer
will play Cressida a film director working in the Capitol who winds up
joining the rebellion with her assistant, Messalla, and her cameramen,
Castor and Pollux. Australian actress Stef Dawson plays District 4 victor Annie Cresta and Finnick’s (played by Sam Claflin) love interest. Evan Ross
has been cast as Messalla the assistant to Cressida, who is part of the
TV crew that follows Katniss and shoots short propaganda films. American Horror Story star Lily Rabe will
play Commander Lyme, a District 2 victor of an unknown Hunger Games and
one of the leaders in the Rebellion at District 13. All My Children co-star Patina Miller makes her film debut as Commander Paylor the rebel commander of District 8. Wes Chatham and Elden Henson
will play Castor and Pollux. As brothers. The duo work on the TV crew
that films Katniss, and Pollux also has intimate knowledge of the sewer
system beneath the Capitol. Mahershala Ali was cast as Katniss’ protector Boggs. Character actor Robert Knepper will play Antonius said to be President Snow’s (Donald Sutherland)
minister. Fans of the book have noted that there is no character by
that name. The only character that has some resemblance to the name is
Aurelius, but in the story he is a doctor, not a minister. If that is
the case, then it would be the first time that the film has stepped away
from the source material.
Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, and Lenny Kravitz will return.
Multi-award-winning "Game Change" and "The Butler" writer Danny Strong and Peter Craig adapted the two-part finale.
Francis Lawrence returns to direct.
Mockingjay Part 1 opens November 21st 2014 while The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 hits November 20th 2015.
