The latest film news and previews from ODEON... The gang’s all here for one last battle STILL HUNGRY? Jennifer Lawrence returns for the final part of the series that made her a huge star t’s been a long year waiting for the final chapter of The Hunger Games saga to come out – especially when you know that both parts of Mockingjay were filmed back-to-back. Now, finally, we’re almost there... Jennifer Lawrence (American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook) reprises her role as Katniss Everdeen, the normal girl who has become a figurehead of the I 4 odeon.co.uk revolution against the oppressive, autocratic Capitol. When Katniss started out, her task was simply to survive a lifethreatening challenge as part of an extreme reality TV series – The Hunger Games. Over the course of the films, as her fame has grown, it’s become clear that she must fight for the people she loves and help change the world for the better. Everything is leading to the ultimate showdown with her mortal enemy, the sinister President Snow (Donald Sutherland – Horrible Bosses), who she plans to remove from office – in a very permanent fashion. He won’t go down without a fight, however, and as we saw in the last film he has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. Inevitably, Katniss has to risk it all to win the ultimate prize: will the Girl on Fire get the world that she wants?
