In 2008, Suzanne Collins released “The Hunger Games” into the world. Four years later the movie would cement Jennifer Lawrence as a blockbuster star. But all good things must come to an end. Last year the final installment – “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II” – brought the entirety of Panem society crashing down.
If you had read the books, you probably joined in the discussions about whether the film would dare go as far as the novels to show that war rarely has winners. Well, they did it. They dared to blur the line between heroes and villains. In the clip above – exclusive to HitFix Harpy ahead of the home video release – even Katniss isn”t immune to succumbing to her darker instincts.
HitFix Harpy is also happy to announce the “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part II” Digital HD and Blu-Ray Combo Pack release date! The final chapter can complete your collection on March 8, 2016 for Digital HD and March 22, 2016 for Blu-Ray Combo Pack. Decided to wait until the franchise finished before buying because they always release a box set? You were right. “The Hunger Games” complete 4-film collection will also drop on the same dates – March 8 for Digital HD and March 22 for Blu-Ray.
