Yesterday was Global Fan Day for those who are perhaps a little too obsessed with The Hunger Games and the upcoming sequel, Catching Fire, and in celebration Lionsgate filled the day with a ton of special events. The film's stars have been everywhere, giving us a chance to check out Jennifer Lawrence's new 'do (I'm digging the Pixie cut), and watch her get all buddy-buddy with co-stars Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth. Too much beautiful in one place? Yeah, you could say that. And of course there had to be some new footage, and following up on the first clip release earlier, a second has arrived that shows the strain Katniss Everdeen is under.
In the wake of their survival in the previous Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta must go on a Victor Tour throughout the nation of Panem, which is slowly building towards rebellion against the Capitol. That's something the evil President Snow (Donald Sutherland) doesn't want, and in an effort to save face for allowing them both to win, he forces them to keep up public facade that they are lovers. The scene dovetails nicely with the earlier one, in which Gale (Hemsworth) informs Katniss that she is a hero to the people, while this one has Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) making it clear that she's nothing more than a distraction from all the real problems in the world. Harsh, man.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire opens November 22nd. Check out the clip and the full Global Fan Day panel below.
