After the two deliciously unconventional teasers (“Together As One” and “Unity”) for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part I, which were basically Donald Sutherland propaganda speeches on behalf of “the Capitol” with little-to-no mention of the fact that they were advertisements for The Hunger Games, it’s almost a little disappointing to see this far more run-of-the-mill teaser. Having said that, it’s a solid and sparse teaser, running about one minute and giving away very little beyond the rather obvious broad strokes. The Capitol is upset over the events of the first two films, Katniss is the face of the rebellion and thus must take a leading role whether she wants it or not, etc., etc. We get Phillip Seymour Hoffman doing most of the narration, which is an encouraging sign that Lionsgate ( Corporation) won’t be hiding his prescence on account of his unexpected death this past February. We also get the visual roll-call of faces both new (Natalie Dormer, Julianne Moore) and old (Liam Hemsworth, and eventually Jennifer Lawrence)and then a quick montage and we’re out. I know this because I saw the trailer on Saturday, not at Comic-Con* but at my local Best Buy.
