I'm sure the next trailer, they'll show the actual Games... they're probably doing what they did the last go around. I now know why they called this a teaser. Because it does tease the movie. It shows roughly the first hour or less than an hour of the movie... nothing from the rest. The next trailer will show more, like they did for the first movie. That is where we'll see Finnick and everyone else, as well as the arena.
Im thinking about it right now...Maybe they wont say there's another game even in the next trailer, just to keep it a surprise/twist to the people who didn't read the books! Like this, they will have the same reaction we had reading the books! I won't mind if they do that...it would be amazing!
And then with the massive gasps coming from people at the midnight screenings, we'll know who has and who hasn't read the books! Yea, I hope this happens.

I hope so...but I would't mind if they don't show the arena...maybe like last time a wide shot of the arena and it ends. But not actual action/game scene.
This may just be the fact that it's a teaser here, but I love how they're focusing on (and including a lot of footage involving around) the thematic aspects of the book rather than just the materialistic, plot-based aspects like the Quarter Quell. Yes, that's fun to see, but I'd rather they cut out some arena scenes for the buildup to the revolution like we're seeing in the trailer. I like that this is offering a very consistent tone, which the Hunger Games kind of botched a bit.
Wow, it looks incredible. I love the way it is shot and I'm really happy they are hiding the games aspect of it and focusing on the real core of the story. Wow, it had such a dark feel to it. President Snow and Plutarch are fabulous too, they are going to have some powerful scenes together.
omg that was so incledible. I loved the acting the direction and the script (there were so many amazing lines in a teaser). Jeniffer Lawrence+Philip Saymour Hoffman+Donald Sutherland+Francis Lawrence+Script+Rebelion + Quarter Quell = AN EPIC MOVIE
Sweet Jesus! As good as the first film was, this looks so much better! I'm all for a rebellion, and Jennifer Lawrence seems far more natural and confident in the role of Katniss Everdeen! President Snow is, as usual, a complete and utter nut job, but in order to be a successful villain these days, I feel that's needed. It's also great to see Philip Seymour Hoffman doing his thing, as few do it better.
I love how Plutarch sounds so evil in the trailer. Just imagine the surprise to non-book readers when it's revealed that he's on their side helping them. Kinda like Snape was for Harry (except it didn't take 7 books to reveal it this time).
Check out this amazing Catching Fire display at CinemaCon! Collider has also heard Lionsgate may show footage from Catching Fire at CinemaCon which is very cool!
I'm really glad to see this political approach and background, instead the whole Gale x Peeta crap that the book pulls out in the first half. The direction seems much more consistent now. Nice cinematography also. Apparently, the phrase "Mediocre books results in great movies" can become true for this one. I've gotten really excited.
It's only a phenomenon in the USA. The rest of the world? No. People did not like the first one in my country and most people i know are done with this series.
One of the meanings for "phenomenon" is a remarkable person or thing. Harry Potter is the biggest phenomenon of our time, and the only thing since Potter that has got anywhere near as big (popular) is The Hunger Games. Many would say this series is remarkable, and being that, many would say it is a phenomenon. It has nothing to do with money; if it did, Avatar would be the biggest phenomenon of all time. Also, a phenomenon could be brought about by a fanbase. Popularity isn't measured by money, and Avatar is far from being popular with all.
The phrase that you're using for this "Mediocre books results in great movies" is also an opinion, but I can see how you'll argue (not debate) with me and go against everything I say, since it's me and you apparently don't like the series very much. Just what I'm getting from your phrase.

Exactly, Ches. And I wouldn't even call a phenomenon. To become a phenomenon, it needs to be reference, it needs to be recognized by everyone, it needs to be a cultural symbol. Is it on track? Yes, maybe. But it's not yet.
Harry Potter, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings... those are all phenomenons, and I don't see how The Hunger Games stand on the same level as them.
Box office doesn't mean quality in a film. Most of films that people treat as cult films in this days we're box office failures and had terrible reviews back then. And last year nobody thought that THG was going to be a success, or that the other books we're going to be adapted. But it did, because it has a fanbase, it has people who has read the books or those who wants to see the films.
How someone can put The Hunger Games besides Harry Potter, in phenomenon terms, will never be something that I'll understand. And it's not because it's The Hunger Games. For example, as crazy as I am about The Maze Runner, I would NEVER put in the same level as Harry Potter.

No one is talking about quality here. Phenomenon is not quality. Phenomenon is attached to popularity.
As Ches mentioned, the rest of the world couldn't care less about THG. BoxOffice numbers were totally inexpressive, people still don't talk about it and besides the fan base, nobody really cared about the trailer that premiered yesterday. The Hunger Games is not a pop culture symbol or a cultural reference. At least yet.
Like I said, take one troll away and leave another behind.
Rise. That's my point. Why is it that nobody ever seeks to understand what I'm saying? Instead, they jump the gun and get it all wrong. Yony says, and Yony proves that success and popularity isn't down to box office results. Is Harry Potter a success because of the money it has made? No, because of the fans. Is Star Wars a success because of the money it has made? No, because of the fans. Is LOTR a success because of the money it has made? No, because of the fans.
You see? All a franchise needs is for the fans to embrace it. In the end, all that matters is the fans. They'll go and watch the film, and that'll bring in the money, but the film itself will get the recognition if it is deserving.
The bad worldwide gross was all due to inability of lionsgate to advertise and distribute a blockbuster probably worldwide. The movie was available in just 3 cinemas here in egypt, and had no ads whatsoever any where. WB movies, on the other hand, are available everywhere.

You just reached a new level by calling me a troll. By now, I'm ignoring all of your posts. You have no need to address anything to me anymore. Have a good life.

That's definitely true, bud. But like.. For example.. The Hunger Games had a very big marketing campaign in Brazil and the distributor did a very great job over there. Still, the movie performance was one of the most disappointing of the years.

...and this shot. Love how they made District 12 look more industrial with that huge thing in the distance.

Wow, I was blown away by that.
