"I’m thrilled Mockingjay – Part 2 will be in IMAX theaters. Fans will now have the chance to see the film in any format they want, which is exciting; we recently saw the 3-D version of Mockingjay – Part 1 before its release in China, and the new level of immersion was really fantastic."

Although Katniss’ sympathies rest firmly with the 99% in the film’s dystopian world, she struggles with the stresses of her newfound notoriety and its dreadful responsibilities.It wasn’t completely unfamiliar ground for the 18-year-old songwriter.“This was my first time writing for a film, and it was important to me that it still felt like my song, not something that would feel out of place at one of my shows,” Lorde says via email. “I wanted the song to feel almost stream-of-consciousness, very much Katniss’ innermost thoughts, and when writing it, I could feel the lines blurring, my authorial voice overlapping with hers.”And my necklace is of rope / I tie it and untie. People talk to me, but nothing ever hits home / People talk to me, and all the voices just burn holes.There were palpable intersections for the songwriter.“Obviously I’m not angry in the way that she is at the end of the film, but I could identify with that feeling of everyone wanting Katniss to do a certain thing, and the pressure of that expectation.”She contributed a wildly revisionist cover of Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” to the series’ second film, “Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” When it was time to put together the music for “Mockingjay — Part I,” the powers that be asked her to “curate” its songs.
“I was very fortunate to have been 100% left alone for the curation,” she says of a soundtrack that includes the languid indie pop of singer-songwriter Bat for Lashes, Kanye West reworking “Yellow Flicker Beat” into something even more menacing, and updated electronica from ’80s icons Grace Jones and Simon Le Bon. “I had a very clear idea of the kinds of artists I wanted for this project, and the kinds of songs from each.”Still, Lorde’s key contribution is “Yellow Flicker Beat,” which catches the Girl on Fire on the verge of stepping into a holocaust. The quiet of that hum explodes into a chorus declaring, “This is the start / Of how it all ends.”“Katniss has so much swirling under the surface, so many different voices both internal and external telling her what to do. A storm isn’t smooth, a fight isn’t quiet, and I don’t think Katniss is just one thing at once,” she says.“I also liked the ‘fingers laced together and I made a little prison, and I’m locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me’ part — it alluded to the ‘playing God’ nature of Katniss’ role as Mockingjay and is probably the most empowering line I’ve ever written.”

The Hunger Games film series could extend past Suzanne Collins's original trilogy.
Director Francis Lawrence has said that more films are being considered for the hit young adult franchise.
"Everybody is thinking about it, and talking about it," the Mockingjay director told MTV.Source: Image via. Tumblr
"I just think that one has to go into that world carefully. Because I think a huge part of what makes the stories great is that it was really built on this idea of the consequence of war, and you have an amazing character like Katniss at the center of it.
"And so to just say, 'Oh, we're still in the Hunger Games world', I think is really risky, and you need to make sure that you have something new to say, and either new characters need to be created that are just as compelling as Katniss."
He continued: "It's a tricky thing, but I'm definitely open to talking about it, and I think everybody's thinking about it. Everybody loves the world and the ideas."
