'Mockingjay Part 1' in EW's Holiday Movie Preview Issue

There's a new Mockingjay Part 1 still in the Holiday Movie Preview issue of Entertainment Weekly (digital edition is out now). Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Paylor (Patina Miller), Boggs (Mahershala Ali), and Pollux (Elden Henson) trudging through District 8. 

 

The still is a part of the Holiday Movie Preview calendar in the issue and there's no other article relating to the film in the magazine except a little blurb in an interview with Julianne Moore:

Director Francis Lawrence cast Moore as rebel president Alma Coin in next month's The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 immediately after she approached him about the part. "Once we knew she wanted it, that was it - done," Lawrence says. Moore, who was introduced to the book trilogy through her kids, 12 and 16, then worked with Lawrence to develop the character beyond what was in Suzanne Collins' novel.

Today's SECOND New 'Mockingjay Part 1' Clip Includes Even More Hijacked Peeta!

If this morning's new Mockingjay Part 1 clip, "Choice" wasn't hearbreaking enough, there's MORE! Samsung has an exclusive new clip from the film called "Most Anticipated Event," that you can view by registering your Samsung device in their mobile Owner's Hub on Facebook. UPDATE! The TV Spot is now on youtube:

The clip is a killer. We can now see the effects of the torture on Peeta, and that lone tear running down his face have basically rendered us completely speechless. OK, not quite. Interestingly, Effie takes over one of Finnick Odair's famous lines from the novel Mockingjay as she preps her for one of the propos:

"They'll either want to kiss you, kill you, or be you." 

This movie is going to be something. 

UPDATE: Here's the beautiful music from the TV Spot. It's "The Birth of a Soul" by Really Slow Motion. 

Thanks to Zed for finding it and putting it in video format!
