In the preview for _The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1_, Katniss, played by Lawrence, is sent back to her native District 12 to see the horror wrought on it by the Capitol, the malicious central government of the _Hunger Games_ universe. A Lorde track, “[Yellow Flick Beat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1S9HUNoI4k "undefined"),” plays in the background. In the short video, Plutarch Heavensbee, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, tells President Coin, played by Julianne Moore, that they must motivate Katniss by “making it personal for her” and letting “her see what the Capitol did to District 12.” Meanwhile, Coin wonders if Katniss can “handle” fighting in the revolt against the government, after “the games destroyed her.” “No one else can do this but her,” says Heavensbee, in the video. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3511926/hunger-games-trailer-katniss-jennifer-lawrence/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3511926/hunger-games-trailer-katniss-jennifer-lawrence/"},"headline":"Watch the New Hunger Games Trailer With Jennifer Lawrence","datePublished":"2014-10-16T04:42:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:49:17.361Z","description":"Katniss, played by Lawrence, is sent back to a devastated District 12","url":"https://time.com/3511926/hunger-games-trailer-katniss-jennifer-lawrence/","keywords":["movies","Jennifer Lawrence","Philip Seymour Hoffman","The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt58dfee86a1a79c1e/698695951eebf739033713df/140530_inv_pickpro_hungergames_1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Elizabeth Barber","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/elizabeth-barber/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt58dfee86a1a79c1e/698695951eebf739033713df/140530_inv_pickpro_hungergames_1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"140530_INV_PickPro_HungerGames_1","caption":"140530_INV_PickPro_HungerGames_1","creditText":"Murray Close—Lionsgate","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3511926/hunger-games-trailer-katniss-jennifer-lawrence/","name":"Watch the New Hunger Games Trailer With Jennifer Lawrence"}}]}] ```
