Catching us by surprise, today Yahoo released the new trailer for The Hunger Games which we expect is the trailer which’ll be airing during the Super Bowl pre game show on Sunday.

Watch below! Clocking in at just over one minute in length, new scenes include Katniss giving Prim the Mockingjay pin, additional shots from the reaping, Cato training, moments from the pre-game interviews, Peeta looking to rebel, and Cinna right before the Games begin.

It’s pretty incredible how great this film is looking. We’re so excited!

Hypable has complete coverage of The Hunger Games leading up to its March release. See all of the recent Hunger Games news right here.

So freaking excited!!! :D

Wait, Katniss gives Prim the mockingjay pin? Not sure if I like that

Hi

She gives it to her before the Reaping and the Prim gives it back before Katniss leaves.
http://about.me/dshana Shana Debusschere

Prim probably gives it back when they have a final moment with their family. Madge wasn’t that of an important character anyway..

http://twitter.com/ambersorensen ambersorensen

Madge comes to be more important later, they should’ve left her in. After the Games, she’s Katniss’ only friend, and that’s really important – at least to Katniss (who /is/ the main character, after all). There aren’t too many important characters in here, it’s not Harry Potter with 200 people with names and lines to say. They should leave her in.

http://about.me/dshana Shana Debusschere

That’s true, but I just think they won’t. If they had left her in, we would have heard some casting news or something, and Katiss wouldn’t be giving the mockingjaypin to Prim. Ideally she would be left in, but maybe they thought introducing too much characters in the beginning would be a bit confusing, since over 3/4 of the movie are the actual games, and there, it’s only the tributes.. I would have prefered it if they kept her in, but I’m ok with it this way, I think…
Sarah

I really don’t think Madge was important enough for the movie. They only have so much time, and I’d rather they include other things and leave Madge out.
Joy

PEOPLE!! we haven’t even seen the movie yet! stop making conclusions when all you’ve seen is ONE line about the Mockingjay pin. she says “do you want to see what I got you today?”-meaning she could have gotten it from madge and offered it to Prim- then she opens her hand and theres the pin. what COULD happen is…you see 2 seconds later, the camera angle is the same and there are two smaller hands closing one bigger hand. they could have moved the scene with Madge to the beginning with the strawberries (if they put that in) or Madge could give it to Katniss before her family comes in then she offers it to Prim then Prim gives it back. what is for sure though is Cinna makes sure its on her before she enters the arena.

PotionWillow207

I think that would be difficult seeing as there is no one cast as Madge.
Nicole

Hey chill it down. You’re making yourself look dumb. It has already been confirmed that madge is not going to make an apperance in any of the movies. People are just voicing their opinions, that they dont like it that madge was cut, they want the pin to remain true to the book since it was such a big part. Also if you dont want to seem rude or in my opinion a fan who is’nt dedicated enough to know that a character was cut from the franchise then dont use caps it looks like you’re freaking out on people, when you dont know much yourself.

http://twitter.com/JennaDickes Jenna Dickes

I wouldn’t mind it if it weren’t for what we learn about its history in Catching Fire. The fact that Madge’s aunt used it as her own token in the same game that Haymitch won, just adds so much to the dynamic of what the mockingjay means to each character. I always really liked that it connected them all in that way.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Moira-Siobhan-Finnigan/654401398 Moira Siobhan Finnigan

They can easily change the story so that it’s their mother’s sister that was in the games with Haymitch and not Madge’s aunt. The pin then would be more of a family airlum; and mean more to Katness in the games, and later as her symbol. The clip that they show could be a flash back to when Katness gives Prim the pin (prehaps after their father dies,) to comfort Prim when Katness is gone hunting. Prim would then give it back to keep her safe while she is in the arina.

It looks like Cinna is taking a risk by giveing katness the pin. I think that its changed so that The Game Makers don’t alow the pin to pass inspection so Cinna has to give it to her secretly. If you remember in the book Katness completly forgets about the pin. I don’t think that Cinna would go through so much trubble for somthing that means so little to Katness.

PotionWillow207

You mean “heirloom?” And the clip of Katniss giving Prim the mockingjay pin can’t be a flashback. Katniss was 10 when their father died, and she is clearly not 10 in that clip.

Anonymous

Hey PotionWillow207…is that your Pottermore name? If so I love it…
PotionWillow207

Yup, yup. I lucked out!

PotionWillow207

You mean “heirloom?” And the clip of Katniss giving Prim the mockingjay pin can’t be flashback like you said. Their father died when Katniss was 10, and she is clearly not 10 in the clip.

Explaining the Madge storyline would just slow down the movie (well has the potential too) having Katniss giving Prim the Mockingjay pin before maybe the reaping, and then Prim giving the pin back will convey more of an emotional relationship for the audience.

PotionWillow207

How would it slow down the plot? Madge is just one of Katniss’s school friends in this movie. So you have them walking down the halls together. How does that slow down the story line?

Sooo good. Dare I say better than the first….?

AWESOME!!!!

Quick question though: What is with the X Files like music at the end?

Anonymous

Its Rues four note tune from the books! Except it is being whistled in the movie :)

Josh

It’s being sung, that was the mockingjays you heard.

Anonymous

You’re right. Sorry- I got confused. Its whistled in the books and sung in the movies I think.

PotionWillow207

It’s both whistled and sung in the books. When Rue and Katniss use it as a signal they sing it. When Katniss and Peeta use it as a signal they whistle it.

Anonymous

OH. But why do they make sound like X Files? Its not supposed to be creepy, is it?

Anonymous

Yeah not sure why it sounds that creepy. I didn’t hear it like that in my head. But I can’t expect it to be exactly like what I pictured the book as.

http://twitter.com/Michaleon Mimi

Oh my gawdd. I’m so excited for this movie!! I feel like it’s going to make me cry as much as the book did.
KatnissLovegood

yes!!!! i love cinna’s shhhhh at the end!

PotionWillow207

Really? That was my least favorite part. Why are they trying to hide the mockingjay pin? They’re supposed to be allowed one token and the pin is supposed to be Katniss’s. So if they continue the movie series, how will the mockingjay symbol gain importance if they hide it in the first movie?

KatnissLovegood

My guess is that she wouldn’t have been allowed to wear it into the arena so they sneak it in, then reveal it once inside. Like a little ‘stick it to the man’. I could be wrong obviously, just my guess.

Hazel

I guess you may be right. I was thrown by that when I first saw it, though. If you are right it puts Cinna on the wrong side of Snow already which I didn’t think really happened until Catching Fire. I suppose movie-Cinna’s rebellious streak is painted in a more obvious way.
PotionWillow207

You could be right, but that would be totally opposite from what is in the books. Cinna tells Katniss that her pin “almost” didn’t make it past the review board because it might be used as a weapon, but in the end they let it go. Also, it doesn’t make sense that she would be able to sneak it in. How would she manage to pull it off?

http://twitter.com/Tygridia tygridia

My guess is that she’a about to complain because she had given it to Prim and Prim managed to give it to Cinna, so she shushes her because it’s like his present to her!

PotionWillow207

How would Prim give it to Cinna? Cinna doesn’t go to District 12 until Catching Fire. And Prim doesn’t go to the Capitol until Mockingjay.

http://twitter.com/Tygridia tygridia

mmm… good point

http://www.rebellionradiopodcast.com Hurley

Not much new footage, but still a great trailer. A much different feel than the first one. And I must say, the Capitol looks fantastic.

OMG!!!!!!!! im soooo excited !!!!!! :D :D jennifer lawrence is SOOOOOOO PERFECT!!!!!

Am I the only one not able to watch it?! No matter where I try to watch it at it says it’s unavailable!! I WANT TO WATCH!!!!

Definitely better content! I’m currently in limbo with whether or not i’m super excited. I am, but i guess part of me was hoping to see something from the Games itself.

Lovehpforever

Same here, I wanted content from the second half of the book!! but its still good!!

wwwhhhhhhyyyyyy!!! why is the video goooooooooooooooooone?!

Since people are having problems with the Yahoo! player we replaced it with a different version. Try now!

Andrew Sims…You are Awesome!!!!!

TheOneAndOnlyCliche

I LOVE how little they’re showing of the actual games. It builds suspense.
Erika Vega

Looks great. Though I did notice that it seems like their changing the story of how Katniss gets the Mockingjay pin. I guess they thought it would be more dramatic and emotional as a sister thing. I wonder how book purists will respond to that.

Josh

You shouldn’t wonder how they would react, it’s pretty obvious.
PotionWillow207

It’s only an issue for me because in Catching Fire there is significance to Madge giving it to Katniss for her token.

http://about.me/dshana Shana Debusschere

Chills!

I about died when I saw that they released the trailer. I did die when I actaully clicked play and watched it. SO FREAKING EXCITED
http://twitter.com/ambersorensen ambersorensen

Rue’s 4-note melody at the end of every trailer makes my hair stand on end! So chilling and awesome!!!

Landon Hershey

It would be funny if that ended up just being a random tune and we are getting all excited over a bird whistling.

Alyss

It’s definitely the whistle. …They released it on itunes. ;)

Bekahrod678

I can’t bring myself to watch it… My hand has gotten so close to the play button I just can’t argh! I just have so much excitement and I’m at school and I’m not sure if I’m ready to unleash the noises that are bound to come out of my mouth once I click that button…
Luke Payne

Oh school computer, why must you be so slow? :(
Melizabeth

So I’m sitting here in my internship and I happen to check Hypable when no one was watching. A almost fell out of my chair when I saw that the trailer had been released!!!!!!! I quickly put in head phones saying I had been sent a link from my teacher to watch it. I’m super glad I didn’t start crying or something :)

It was brilliant! I wonder why it was released early? Not that I’m complaining.. but I’d be curious if it was a mistake.
Martha V.

Awesome…now I don’t have to record the whole pre-game show and ff through it just to see the trailer :-). The trailer is awesome…can’t wait for this movie!!
goldensnidget

I kind of feel like I don’t want to see the Games. I love watching trailers, but after reading/watching every Harry Potter clip befor it came out, I don’t want to know too much for this one. I want to be completely immersed rather than thinking, oh I’ve seen this bit already. So if they don’t show any Games, there will be so much mystery and suspense, and it will hopefully be AMAZING!

WillowBlood

Haha same! I restrained myself from watching clips from Part 2, with the exception of the trailers, but this time I’ll try to hold back. x’D

Anonymous

The Capitol looks like Grand Chokmah from TotA meets Transformers lol
starkid7

I like how they only show a couple clips from inside the Games themselves. I feel like they are doing a great job with not giving TOO much away. I’m SOOOO excited to see this!! 49 more days… I think!

Best part is at the beginning when katniss tells gale not to let them starve…gives me chills! can’t wait!

I’m now an emotional wreck.

So amazing! I love how they took a lot of the same shots and content as the first 2 trailers and combined them to create an entirely different feel. I wasn’t a hunger games fan until I saw the other two trailers, and now I’ve read all the books and cannot wait for the movie to come out!

ohhh my freakin gosh!!! that makes me soooo f*cking excited!! argh.. !!! yay. LOVE it!! :)) it just looks fantastic.

Is it new news that it is going to be in IMAX too? Or did i miss that?

They showed most of the new scenes on the ET preview, but it still looks AMAZING!
Zack

Also, I love how they focused on Prim in this trailer :)
Jen

The whole volunteering bit never fails to make me tearful. For reasons that fans of the book series will understand in particular!
Zack

Does anyone have an HD link, please?
Katie

Every part with Prim gives me chills… not to mention when Katniss told Gale not to let them starve :’( Wish we’d seen a bit more of Peeta, they used his same line again…
Luigi_barraza

OMG! my skin crwals whenever Jennifer says ANYTHING

Rae

I know!!! Gary Ross is right about her, everything she does is so powerful and it’s just right!!

Lindsey

Where in the HELL is Peeta?!?! They don’t even introduce him!!! We’ve heard the same line from him over and over. Nothing else. I need more Peeta! Rawr.

PotionWillow207

They can’t show much of him without giving away that he loves Katniss. I would imagine they’re trying to keep that a secret from people who haven’t read the books. It is the big surprise of the story, after all.

Skye H.

SO TRUE!!!!! I have a friend who hasnt read the books but doesn’t want to before he sees the movie. I’m trying to not tell him the story. That’s cool. I hadnt thought of that.

http://twitter.com/Tygridia tygridia

I actually prefer seeing as little of him as possible in the trailers. I’m in love with that character and they only showed the line that makes him perfect.
Can’t wait for the film!

Watched 3 times on repeat
RSCAR

Why is this trailer so short?

Anonymous

Because it is a TV trailer. Meaning it has to fit into a commercial break unlike a full trailer that is shown before a movie.

Alex Anderlik

To prove how many times I’ve watched these trailers, I’ve completely memorized that annoying Bermuda getaway advertisement.

“As long as you have it, nothing bad will happen to you. I promise.”

Kind of a big promise, Katniss, lol. And then you take it for the games.
Wait, does that mean they’re going to do something to Prim?

Why the heck did I just get an ad for the Voice in spanish?

I got that too. It was just weird.

Bumble

Wish there was more Peeta:(
Kyle S

i hate how she screams hysterically then talks normally two seconds later

leviosaaax3

It was like that in the book too. She had to compose herself so that she wouldn’t seem weak on camera.

Hazel

I agree – some people said they thought her immediate shift was weird in the last trailer, too, but it felt exactly right to me. I thought part of what makes Katniss such an unusually strong character is that she is constantly aware of herself because she lives a dangerous life and cannot let on to what she really thinks or feels. For example, she gives herself instructions during the games: “Time to eat, Katniss. Time to check the bags, Katniss.” I think that’s after Rue dies and Katniss is almost consumed with her grief but remains aware of the need to project competence and toughness to the audience.

PotionWillow207

I actually didn’t like that Prim screams. It says so much about the strength of character of that little girl, even though Katniss sort of sees her as weak.

http://twitter.com/glasswatar Suri Meipapilionis

I think they edited it to be her screaming after she was called, but she does that after Katniss volunteers (which happens in the book too)

PotionWillow207

I hope so. Prim is my favorite character in the series.

Alonninos

Can anyone hear what Caesar is saying at 0:37?!

Savanah

Throughout the trailer, Caesar says, “Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire! And what did you say to your sister when you volunteered at the Reaping?” – Jennifer’s line- ”And try you will.”
Guest

Katniss Everdeen, the girl on fire!

15mbrown

I totally agree. I love Katniss Everdeen,the girl on fire.
Does anyone know where I can see the trailer for the second hunger games movie?

I enjoyed this. I felt the mood of the trailer is appropriate to the book and hopefully the film overall will have the same vibe the trailer has.
leviosaaax3

I don’t get why people pick out the smallest details and fuss over them. Come on, you will NEVER get a 100% accurate representation of the books. In my opinion, this trailer is pure perfection. It gives me chills ever single time. I also love Cinna’s ‘shh’ at the end. I CAN’T WAIT!
Becca

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Luna

how come katniss gives prim the mockingjay pin?

Lyss

because they kinda cut madge out of the movie, which i think is okay. she wasnt really that important

PotionWillow207

Well, Madge’s importance was related to the mockingjay pin in that it belonged to her aunt who was in the Quarter Quell with Haymitch. I don’t know if cutting Madge also means they cut that; if they did it’s disappointing. We won’t know unless/until they get to Catching Fire.

Anonymous

This was pretty good. Even though there wasn’t to much new stuff. I agree with those people who said that there should have been more Peeta. They should of at least put in a few of his other lines.
Jacob

Words…just don’t describe…how much I love this. THE MOVIE WILL BE EPIC. The capitol looks awesome. J-Law’s acting blew me through the roof. CINNA! The mockingjay pin is in this trailer twice!

*SPOILERS*
“As long as you have this pin, you’ll be safe.’ Oh, except when your name is drawn for a battle to the death. Oh, and that other time. When you, um, die. Oops.

Guest

But she…doesn’t always have the pin. She gives it back to Katniss for the Games (according to the trailer, anyway!)

http://www.facebook.com/people/Nicholas-Peters/900275071 Nicholas Peters

i thought the first trailer was done better. this one did have my favourite scene that they’ve shown so far; Katniss telling Gale not to let her family starve. it really spoke volumes on JL’s acting
Chelsea

omg, shivers everytime i see this
Jmc

Is this really a “Trailer” or just a long TV Spot? Because for 3rd trailer… I was underwhelmed. It didn’t get me pumped and was kind of corny since it was too short and the music was only focused on for Katniss and Prim.
Ashleym

Sorry but I don’t like Jennifer’s portrayal of Katniss…

Lyss

i don’t get how thats even possible…i agree with the director, she IS katniss.

PotionWillow207

Well, considering we’ve only seen her being Katniss for about a minute I think that’s a little presumptuous. And like many others, I’ve found that she wears the same expression in almost every image we’ve seen of her in character, and that worries me. But even if she does a great job in the movie, Jennifer Laurence will never be MY Katniss. My mind doesn’t work that way with book adaptations. No matter what book or what character, the actor never takes the place of what I see in my mind when I read a book.

Keeping most of the actual Hunger Games secret is exactly what they should be doing. WB could have learned from them with Harry Potter.

Okay, loved it, but why did Cinna shush Katniss when he pointed to her pin? Isn’t it her token? EEEEh?
Guest

In the interview…I kinda liked how Katniss says “I swore to her I would” in the books. To me, it’s so much more powerful.
Kate

effie is bloody brilliant
http://twitter.com/angrykittykj Krystol

I like that there is more with Katniss and Prim, that relationship is essential to the books. As for the rest of it… I’ve been trying to keep a “I’ll wait and see the movie to judge” perspective, but there are a lot of very awkward moments for “Katniss” in this trailer. Since I’ve never seen Jennifer in anything else I can’t really judge, but in this trailer her acting seems really off. Everyone else looks great though.
Tamtam77453

I know that usually trailers hit you over the head with the best things from their movies, but I really think “The Hunger Games” is doing the opposite esp. with Josh Hutcherson.It seems impossible to believe that the second lead actor in a movie would get so little coverage so there has to be a reason.Is it because his performance is disappointing or because he’s their secret weapon?

After reading all the praise from Susan Collins and others about how much like Peeta he is,I am extremely hopeful that the secret weapon theory is the reason……..pleeeeeease

Anonymous

Hey…Its Chris Hemsworths (Thor) little brother Liam….I have no doubt in my mind that he is their secret weapon!!!

Rdh014

…JUST saying (not that im angry or super picky about it) but Katniss didn’t give Prim the Mockingjay pin… whatever minor detail thing.

Did anyone find it kinda rushed?

Nice new stuff, but I found the editing kinda odd
Vera

What’s his name? The interviewer? Caesar, right? That actor doesn’t match my view of him at all. But otherwise their cast is a perfect match.

PotionWillow207

I like the actor, but I’m not a fan of the way he looks. Or any of the Capitol characters for that matter. Except for Cinna, I’ve always seen them in my imagination as MUCH more over-the-top and flamboyant than what we’ve seen in the trailers and images.

Vera

I like Cinna too! And I think Effie isn’t so bad but I didn’t imagine her hair so . . . big, you know?

Love it! Though I would have liked more new material, especially of the Games. I hope the film doesn’t focus too much on before the Games, and they’re just holding back all the footage of the Games so the good scenes then are a surprise for those who haven’t read the books…

Woah… so does Katniss give Prim the mockingjay pin, and then Cinna secretly gives it to her? It looked like that right at the end when he put his finger to his mouth… not sure about that!

Absolutely LOVE how Jennifer delivers the line about not wanting her family to starve. The desperation in her voice is tangible… I found myself feeling panicked for Prim and Katniss’ mother. Excellent trailer!
