I wasn’t planning on watching The Hunger Games, but since I have a daughter, it was kinda required. I was pleasantly surprised. The following trailer for the sequel looks decent, though it probably doesn’t matter much as I will be required to watch this one as well.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark.

Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.

Release: November 22, 2013
