Here's 'Hunger Games: Mockingjay' As a Romantic Comedy
by Andy NeuenschwanderFrom what we've seen of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1," the movie is going to be pretty serious. The first full-length trailer involved lots of fighting, a chilling face-to-face with Snow, and explosions all over the place.
This slightly modified version of the Hunger Games trailer takes a different approach, though.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" aired this re-edited version of the "Hunger Games" trailer, adding some opportune edits and musical choices to make the whole thing seem like a romantic comedy.
In this version, Gale is a "down to earth" guy while Peeta is a "big TV star," as the voice-over tells us. There's also a surprising fourth cast member and a new title for the movie.
Kimmel didn't do nearly as good a job as some of the other videos out there, like the ones that re-imagined "Frozen" as a horror film, but there's not a lot of footage from "Mockingjay" that isn't super depressing, so it's understandable.
