The Hunger Games: The Exhibition Confirmed Attendees

The Hunger Games: The Exhibition is said to be attended by select cast and crew members. About a couple weeks ago, there were rumors swirling around the internet about how the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony was canceled. Discovery Times Square has confirmed that the event is canceled, however, Lionsgate hasn't confirmed anything. As of this morning, Nina Jacobson (Producer) and Francis Lawrence (Director) has confirmed on Twitter that they will be attending the Exhibition opening day! They have confirmed it before the rumor mill was chugging, but now it is final! Remember, we will have a review up shortly after we attend the Exhibition!

Mockingjay Part 2 - SDCC/CineEurope

Photo credit to Jabberjay.net
A schedule has been released for San Diego Comic Con, and the panel for Mockingjay Part 2 is set for July 9th, 2015 (Thursday) from 12L00 PM to 1:15 PM. Read the screenshot above for more information!

In other Hunger Games news, a new trailer has been announced for 7.9.15! (See the pattern? 6.9.15) This morning, Jennifer Lawrence (via video message) introduced a never-before-seen trailer at CineEurope. Lionsgate Motion Picture Group's co-chair Rob Friedman quotes says it's going to be "the biggest and best yet"! (Hollywood Reporter) We can't wait for the trailer to be released!







UPDATE: Russian industry portal KinoMetro who attended the presentation confirmed today that a brand new propo viral video was presented alongside the new trailer, as well as confirming once again that the new trailer will land online in a month's time. We're expecting the same reel of the new propo and trailer to be shown at SDCC on July 9, and hopefully the propo will make its way online too.

We expected Lionsgate to debut something from Mockingjay - Part 2 during today's presentation at CineEurope in Barcelona, but we never expected it to be this.

THR reports that Jennifer Lawrence, via satellite link, introduced new footage from the film to attendees, an image of Katniss in a 'new red outfit', and, in a surprising move, the second trailer, which according to THR is 'due out in a month'.

Live booming kettle drums heralded the start of Lionsgate’s presentation on the last day of the CineEurope trade show on Thursday, providing the opening fanfare for the finale of the mini major’s biggest asset.

There has been no information whether this second trailer is the film's full theatrical trailer, or a second teaser trailer - either way, it's expected to be shown during Lionsgate's panel at San Diego Comic-Con on July 9, with an online debut, if THR is to go by, before the end of that month (in theatres likely with Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation). We won't be surprised if the other CineEurope footage is also shown exclusively to SDCC attendees - and we hope the image of Katniss in a red suit (which we may have seen before in a since-taken-down video from Funny or Die in April) makes its way to us soon...

We are extremely excited for this, so stay tuned as we hear more!
