Hunger Games: Mockingjay Will Be Split in Two Films

Taking a cue from book-to-film adaptations such as Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (and more recently The Hobbit), The Hunger Games' third and final installment, Mockingjay, will be split into two separate movies.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 will be released on November 21, 2014 followed by The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 set for November 20, 2015. The first sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, is already slated for release on November 22, 2013 and includes most of the original cast members in addition to the recently announced Jena Malone and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Francis Lawrence is directing Catching Fire. However, the filmmaker has yet to be confirmed for either of the Mockingjay films.
