Article Summary

  • Lionsgate unveils a striking new poster for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping.
  • A highly anticipated new trailer is set to debut tomorrow, promising fresh footage and story hints.
  • Brief new footage was teased recently during an official franchise lookback video.
  • Lionsgate skips CinemaCon this week, ramping up their own marketing push for the film.

Lionsgate dropped some very brief snippets of new footage for The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping when it released an official franchise lookback the other day, and tomorrow, we're going to get some more. A new poster for the film has been released, and it's really pretty looking and actually looks like something out of Midsommer rather than a Hunger Games movie. It seems like Lionsgate and the rest of the team are doing a pretty good job of showing up the passage of time through the changing aesthetics of the world. The post on social media sharing the new poster revealed that we're also getting a new trailer tomorrow as well. Lionsgate is absent from CinemaCon this week, so they'll need something to stay in the new cycle since they decided to sit this one out.
