Lionsgate’s teaser trailers for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 continues to heighten the excitement and suspense for the upcoming film, with the release of yet another Capitol propaganda featuring the tyrannical President Snow.
Dressed in all white once again, Snow (Donald Sutherland) addresses Panem in this new presidential speech, surrounded with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), Johanna (Jena Malone), and an army of peacekeepers.
The president begins, “Throughout this great nation, never have we been more unified, because now more than ever, Panem is speaking with one voice. The Capitol and The District bound together in solidarity. Together…”
He is then suddenly interrupted by a pirated broadcast from District 13. Beetee (Jeffrey Wright) announces, “This is a pirate transmission from District 13. The message: ‘The Mockingjay lives.’”
Beetee is referring to Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) as the Mockingjay, who has become the symbol of a mass rebellion against the tyrannical Capitol.
Lionsgate is successfully using Snow’s addresses to market the film and create excitement, but they are also playing a part in the story as the rebels are utilizing their hijacking abilities in order to deliver the truth. For more, visit the Capitol-themed website, thecapitol.pn.
