The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014)

Are you looking for an excuse to sign up for Amazon's $67 Prime deal? We've got 10 that might sit well with you, as these flicks are coming to the platform over the next month.

At first glance, Guardians of the Galaxy and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 don't seem to have a lot in come. But they both hit incredible milestones this year that put them on the same list.

Some weeks a ton of movies come out and they all stink. And then some weeks only one gigantic flick hits the big screen, and that’s all we need. This week falls into the latter category. We are headed back to the world of Panem where Katniss leads a revolution.

He taught us how to channel out love of dancing Groot into adorable cupcakes, now JK Denim is giving us a welcomed tutorial on how to satisfy our cravings for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 with a delectable fan art pie!

How do you turn The Hunger Games: Mockingjay into a romantic comedy? Jimmy Kimmel answers that question with the video ahead, which takes the trailer for the highly anticipated Hunger Games: Mockingjay and re-markets it as Cupid's Arrow....

Hollywood has never had a problem picking books to bring to the big screen, in a dash for cash from fans around the world. But they could be doing one big thing to increase their reach with literary adaptations.

The Mockingjay looks ready for war in the new teaser poster of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. The new poster, which just arrived today, shows off the back of Jennifer Lawrence's brave character, who's armed with her trusted bow and arrows, her dark hair in its signature single braid.

Francis Lawrence's The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 will have more than a few familiar faces, from Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen (duh) to Liam Hemsworth's Gale, but just like in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, we'll be meeting plenty of new faces as well.

As fall approaches, Hunger Games fans have the first part of the feature adaptation of Mockingjay to anticipate. The choice to split the book into two parts likely has fans wondering just how closely these films will stick to the source material. From what producers say, expect some surprises, but no major changes.

Thanks to the highly-bizarre fashion sense of the folks in The Capitol, The Hunger Games franchise to this point has done a lot of advertising featuring all kinds of splashy colors and visuals. But that was before the war started. In the end of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, everything in the world of Panem starts to go to hell, as the people of the various outlying districts rise up in revolt against the oppressive upper class.

After making its debut during Comic-Con in San Diego last week, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 trailer has finally arrived online! As you can see in the video, it looks like Katniss has been called to fight again.

Lionsgate carved out a little corner of the Convention Center floor for a sizeable Hunger Games exhibit, handing out posters to excited fans and allowing crowd members to post with Peacekeepers. Traitors!

In this motion poster for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 Peeta looks healthy and unafraid. However, there's something sinister about his being rained down on by white rose petals.

Summit/Lionsgate is taking a rather nontraditional approach to unveiling the highly anticipated first trailer of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1. Instead of debuting the footage to a packed Hall H of cheering Katniss fans at Comic-Con...

The Mockingjay Lives! And Beetee is awesome. We knew both of those things already, and now the Capitol does too. Following up on the previously released "Capitol TV" teaser, which revealed Donald Sutherland's President Snow offering a gentle (creepy) warning (threat) to Panem not to rebel against the government...

And now, an important address from President Snow – the glorious leader of Panem!

Lionsgate offers these stunning propaganda posters from the affluent (and evil) Capitol, which in theory celebrate the "heroes" of Panem. But look closer. You'll notice something insidious.

Images aren’t the only hook of this elaborate and high-tech movie Web site. The Hunger Games fans can dig around and enjoy: a Q-and-A with Lawrence, producer Nina Jacobson, and screenwriter Peter Craig; behind-the-scenes stills; an interactive sneak peek at a page from the film’s script; and that aforementioned motion poster.

In the film, Christie will be playing Commander Lyme, a military leader out of District 2 and former Hunger Games victor who joins Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Peeta (Josh Hutchinson) and the rest of the rebellion against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and the leaders of Panem. In case you're wondering if Christie can play tough, I might recommend watching a few Game of Thrones clips.

Is it the best scenario? No. The best scenario would involve Hoffman finishing the work that he started on The Hunger Games movies, then moving on to countless more interesting and challenging roles. Sadly, that option’s no longer on the table.

"His performances in both [remaining] movies will be up to the best of his craft. We feel it will be a good tribute to him," a studio source said. Others added that digital tricks can be employed to cover up an actor’s absence, suggesting “you can have conversations where you’re not focusing on him but the people he’s talking to.”

We’re so thankful to learn that Hoffman will not have to be replaced somehow in the franchise, Not that the future of a movie franchise matters at all in the wake of Hoffman’s loss. But he was excellent in Catching Fire, and we knew that he had a lot to do in the next films.

Until these major festivals, Team Hunger Games is trying to keep a lid on what has been filmed already. Director Francis Lawrence, who joined the series with Catching Fire, confirmed that they’ve had fun exploring the yet-to-be-seen District 13.

The Mockingjay symbol of The Hunger Games franchise has morphed quite a bit since the film series began back in 2012. The first version had the famous bird clutching an arrow in its beak (a representation of Katniss' greatest skill), the second had the creature caught in a spoked wheel (representative of the special clock design of Catching Fire's Hunger Games arena)...

Natalie Dormer has never been a woman who has trouble going for it. She’s done nudity, corsets and all sorts of general weirdness; so, it probably shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone that she’s willing to cut her hair for a role. In this case, she was apparently willing to shave her head, or at least half of it for both parts of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.

Fandango conducted the poll, revealing that its users placed Mockingjay – Part 1 atop their collective list of movies they can’t wait to see this year. In addition, Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence and Gangster Squad hunk Ryan Gosling were selected as the top fan picks for the Sexiest Men and Women appearing in 2014 movies.

Films don’t get much bigger than Michael Bay’s Transformers franchise, and it’s no surprise Paramount will reveal the first footage from Transformers: Age of Extinction during the game. We’ll probably just see Optimus Prime getting his transformation on along with a couple of explosions, but I bet people go crazy over it.

The actor is likely best known for his role as Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell on the Fox series Prison Break, but has also had his fair share of big screen roles in movies like Hitman, Transporter 3, Good Night, And Good Luck., and the Day The Earth Stood Still remake.

He might not attract as many eyeballs as the pop-culture-savvy J-Law, who’s entrenched – at the moment – as the media’s darling. But his contributions behind-the-scenes are ensuring that those “eyeballs” are satisfied with what they are seeing … and will continue to be satisfied as the series progresses.

If you haven't read The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, these shots from the set of the movie version probably don't make much sense to you-- how does an old mill fit into this futuristic world in which kids fight each other in an arena? Fans of the book aren't exactly going to look at that building and immediately know where it fits in, but it's not hard to guess that, at some point in the battle for the future of Panem, Katniss Everdeen and other freedom fighters wind up paying a visit to this dilapidated spot
