I loved the counting down too, but I wish they saved it for the movies…and they should have just done it for 10, because now i feel like it won’t be as exciting/surprising (even though im sure it will still be amazing)

I’m so anxious for March 23rd now.

The Capitol looks soo amazing!! It was just as I pictured while reading, just a little less colorful.

6 days!!!!

These new clips just keep coming! We’ll have all seen the whole movie by the time it comes out, just in snippets! And Lionsgate must know us fans have no self control when it comes to stopping ourselves from watching. The interview scene, the night lock scene, the CAVE!!! I bet the next one will be Rue dying! Love the longer countdown though – it’s like I’m Katniss waiting in the glass cylinder!!!
Lauren

Just want to add, and I know it’s kinda horrible, but I really hope there isn’t as much height diffence as there is at 0:28 through the whole film! I know Josh is a little further back in that clip and in other scenes like the night lock he’s taller, but it’s just cringy enough seeing the three mains in red carpet shoots and there being a sort of ladder appearance going down the row. I know it’s bad saying that but the guy has to be taller right?

Carmenpoing

Just remember, good things come in small packages.

I think that in flat shoes, Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are the same height, but on the red carpet, she’s always wearing impressive heels that make her taller. Depending on what they dress her in, Katniss may look taller when they’re all dressed up, but in District 12 and the arena, there isn’t going to be much difference.
Cherie

Guys DO NOT have to be taller. Please get over that misconception. JL is a little bit taller than JH in real life. It’s no big deal, and to me, it makes it feel more “real” and less “Hollywood” and I’m thrilled that Gary Ross wasn’t hung up on height but was more interested in chemistry and acting ability. If Josh Hutcherson wanted to ask you out and he happened to be an inch or two shorter than you, would you turn him down? If I were the right age, I sure wouldn’t! ;) Look up the IGN movie review. The writer comments favorably on the height difference not being hidden and thinks JH gives a great performance.

Cherie, I’m pretty sure she was refering to the book, not a sterotype. It talks many times in the book(s) about how big, tall and strong Peeta is. Since he looks shorter than Katniss, who is suppose to be small for her age, it’s kind of annoying. Nothing that would ruin the movie, just peeving (like his eyes were suppose to be blue, but they’re brown-ish.) Please thing about the books before you go bashing people for gender misconceptions.

Right, I’m pretty sure that’s what she meant as well – and I’m not afraid to admit it’s throwing me a bit as well in certain shots. I’m not against guys being as tall/shorter, but Peeta is supposed to be broad, strong, and tall. JH got the strong and broad part (and the character which is paramount I will say), but I just can’t imagine him scooping JL into his arms and carrying her up the stairs or holding her in his lap like Peeta does in Catching Fire. Those were some of my favorite romantic moments with Katniss and Peeta in CF and, unfortunately, I think they will change or just omit those parts in the future movie because of his size, which is a shame. That being said, the acting that I’ve seen from JH thus far as Peeta has been spot on so hopefully I will be able to overlook the size difference in the movies. The blue eyes I was a bit bummed at first, but IMO JH still totally pulls off that soulful, deep look that Peeta is supposed to have and really rocks the blonde. I think his brown eyes are one of his biggest assets and I think with his skin type (even with blonde hair) his brown eyes are adorable.

Well, he had to put on 15 pounds of muscle, and Jen toned down a lot, so I reckon he’ll be able to pick her up in Catching Fire That was one of my favourite moments too, and judging on the comments about how faithful the movie has been to the book so far and that the same people will be on board for CF I have high hopes there too. I keep going back to the movie companion and looking at him in the shots for ‘the boy with the bread’ – its incredible

Hello, ?! Peeta has blue eyes, anyone who read the book would know that and btw, Katniss wasn’t Small for her age, she was broader and slightly shorter than peeta, who is muscular

Lauren

I triple, double and then quadruply, absolutely !!!LOVE!!! Josh Hutcherson! I think he is the the worlds perfect Peeta, I know ive fallen for him (when i went to see Journey 2 i was smiling from ear to ear through the whole film cause he was in pretty much every scene (I’m 15 so I think I can get away with saying that! :})) and he is whole three years younger than Jennifer but It’s not that as a person in general he should be taller, it is the fact he should perhaps have a couple of inches extra on him to fully embody all of who Peeta is described as, as people have said – and have blue eyes, as other people have said, but hey nobody’s perfect! :} haha! and I actually think its alright the eye colour ’cause Jennifer has blue eyes. As long as they have different colours it shows they’re different characters. Even if Josh was a foot shorter or Jennifer was a foot taller, no one in their right mind would cast anyone else :} As Jennifer said on their MTV interview they have ‘tonnes of chemistry’! :} That’s the main thing! Can’t wait to see the film!!! :}

This looks great! I decided why it is so good is because no one else has done this plot yet!

folieadude

MrsPeetaMellark!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I just love that. Cinna showing Katniss the Mockingjay pin then saying shush!! AWESOME!!
Tash

I think I gasped at the new shots of the Capitol – particularly the one with the bridge! Wow.. they have really managed to capture it, I can’t wait to see it on a huge cinema screen

The rest of the trailer was fantastic, they spliced enough of the old stuff together to make it seem new and then just a couple of quick shots we hadn’t seen before. I don’t feel like I’ve seen too many spoilers, apart from Peeta’s interview they haven’t really dropped any major spoilers for pivotal scenes. Plus, overall we’ve seen maybe what, 5-10 minutes of the whole movie? It goes for 2 hours 22 minutes so there will be plenty to see! (plus hopefully a heap of deleted scenes on the bluray/dvd release!)

Not long to go now everyone!!
dakota

I hate thefact theschool system blocks everything halfway decent!

I’m gonna go see it with my whole class we read the book.. And I can’t wait..

I don’t understand why they messed with the Mockingjay pin, which is a crutial symbol for the entire series?! I am so excited for the movie, but seriously how hard could it have been to have Madge give Katniss the pin? Also, why is it a secret in the movie? it had to get cleared by security in the book and so everyone knew she was wearing it as her token…
KMAN

IM GOING WITH MY FRIENDS ITS GOING TO BE A PARTY :} :] :]

I am still super mad that he doesn’t have blue eyes. how hard is it to a) find an actor with blue eyes or b)buy the non blue eyed actor some freakin contacts?!
It’s just so annoying when movies mess up SIMPLE details thatbooks clearly lay out..
