HUNGER GAMES mania will know no bounds on Monday, as word has come in that the first full-length trailer for the heavily-anticipated first movie will be premiering on Monday on Good Morning America. I know you’re thinking, “But I don’t watch that shite!” Well, it’s likely a safe bet that the trailer will pop up online almost immediately afterwards, so you’ll just have to hang tight while we round it up.
From the official press release: Lionsgate, a leading global entertainment company, today announced an exclusive partnership with ABC’s Good Morning America to world premiere the highly anticipated trailer for THE HUNGER GAMES.
The debut will be hosted in person by actor Josh Hutcherson (THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT), who plays the pivotal character of Peeta Mellark in the film, in the top rated 8:00 hour of the show on Monday, November 14th. In addition to airing nationwide, the trailer will also be shown in its entirety on Good Morning America’s jumbotron in New York City’s Times Square.
The partnership, which further distinguishes the film as a major motion picture event, will mark the first time ever that audiences will be exposed to sights and sounds from the film such as Katniss’ home District 12 and the opulent Capitol. With 16 million copies of The Hunger Games in circulation, a vast audience of book fans will also undoubtedly tune in for the first chance to hear the beloved characters speak iconic lines of dialogue from its pages.
I’m not entirely sure why Good Morning America is the outlet getting the trailer premiere (is the HUNGER GAMES’ target audience usually tuning into GMA around 8am?), but there you have it. As I stated above, you probably won’t have to set your DVR in order to catch the preview; it’ll be everywhere an hour later, tops…
