The new trailer isn't as exciting as the Donald Sutherland videos, but it features all the right moments.
In case you’ve had no access to WiFi since the weekend (poor thing), the big thing is the first teaser trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I. Lionsgate debuted the minute-long video at Comic-Con and since then, it’s been picked apart by movie blogs far and wide. But if you’re watching out for spoilers, don’t worry, nothing major here. The first official trailer for Mockingjay (unless you count the mega creepy “propaganda” videos released in June and early July) is exactly what Hunger Games fans wanted to see - even an appearance by the rising star of the day, Natalie Dormer.
Dormer plays Cressida, a Capitol filmmaker, who sides with the rebellion.
Julianne Moore looks just as ruthless and determined as we’d expect President Coin to be and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s appearance seems deliberately eerie, considering the actor died before finishing his scenes for the film. In fact, Hoffman’s narration can be heard throughout most of the trailer, which is a great sign that we’ll see or at least hear a lot of him in the movie.

Philip Seymour Hoffman's final performance is chilling even in the trailer.
We get an idea of the bulding rebellion and of Katniss’ internal conflict – as the Mockingjay, should she stay safe and keep inspiring the rebellion or should she actively protect her loved ones and keep fighting the good fight?
If none of that sounded familiar, go read the books already. And of course, there’s your basic signoff line. When asked if she’s come to fight, Katniss replies: “I will. I am.”

Katniss isn't playing around anymore.
