With open wings, the Mockingjay is getting ready to fly.

“Hunger Games: Mockingjay” starts with Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) finding herself in District 13, right after she destroyed the Hunger Games for good. With the anger she faces against the corrupt government, she leads a rebellion against the autocratic Capitol to save Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) and the oppressed nation.

“Hunger Games: Mockingjay” is the movie adoption of the third and final book of the “Hunger Games” trilogy by Suzanne Collins. It will be divided into two separate movies and Part One will be released on Nov. 21 in theaters and IMAX.

Director Francis Lawrence and screenplay writer Danny Strong resolved the issue of cast member, Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death in early Feb. His role as  Plutarch Heavensbee was unfinished since he couldn’t complete the new scenes. Yet according to usmagazine.com, filmmakers used CGI technology and computer animation making them able to recreate those few scenes, instead of rewriting or hiring a new actor. Therefore fans have nothing to worry about.

All that’s left is to prepare for the uprising.
