‘Hunger Games: Mockingjay’ Movie: Peeta’s Point Of View Will Play Out In Parts 1 And 2 & Show Katniss’ Mental Instability? [VIDEO]
Though the rebellion she leads against the corrupt Capitol will play a huge role in both parts of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Katniss won't be the only person whose point of view will be expressed in the final two installments of the wildly popular film series.
On Set Photos Reveal Peeta Turning On Katniss in Mockingjay?
In a June 2 interview with Yahoo! Movies, screenwriter Peter Craig hinted that Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) will also have a chance to express his point of view in the film, as he also witnesses the events that have led to a revolt by the districts of Panem.
"We still stayed very Katniss-centric and she still completely drives the movie, but the fun thing is that we get to mash her arc with what's happening in all of Panem," he said. "And we get to show parallels in other districts."
Mockingjay To Be Unlike Any Other Film?
He also explained that author Suzanne Collins, who wrote the trilogy of books that the films are based off of, was also instrumental in making sure other elements of the story made it into the movies.
"Suzanne was helpful with building out moments or things that are mentioned in maybe just a sentence or two in the book," Craig said.
One of these things Collins likely helped out with was fleshing out the need for two movies, allowing fans to see more scenes of the civil unrest in Panem, and scenes showing Peeta's point of view in the Capitol.
Peeta's point of view will also likely give fans a different look at Katniss' growing mental instability as she continually feels the need to question how much she can trust everyone around her.
With the surfacing of set photos from the filming of Part 2 in Paris, France, it appears Katniss' worries are well-founded, as Peeta appears to turn on her and try to kill her.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 is expected to hit theaters on November 21. Part 2 is expected to come out on November 20, 2015.
