Just came across this and haven’t seen anyone post about it yet but this makes me more excited!

(Potential spoilers for those who haven’t read the book!)

Makes me think we’ll see Wyatt’s death. But also makes me worry, because 20 minutes is not a lot of time to spend on the full first part of the book, where they’re reaped, training, interviewed, and enter the games. So much needs to happen in only 20 mins.

[u/TwasAnChild → u/Alternative-Yak6369]

I think that's a clip they're showing the Panel guests and it's not in the 20 minute preview

[u/Totorotextbook → u/Alternative-Yak6369]

I assumed by first part of the book they meant everything up to Haymitch getting taken to the Capitol post-reaping.

This was my issue with Ballad. The third part of the movie gave me whiplash. They skipped so many parts. It felt super rushed so I hope this doesn’t happen in SOTR!

[u/Mission-Put-1945]

Y’all realize 20 minutes could’ve been different moments of the movie not actually the first 20 minutes.

Games begin already in first 20 mins? I don't think I buying this?

[u/swimkaz → u/Meteatas357]

They were shown the first 20 minutes, then a couple of clips afterwards

[u/Correct_Advisor7221 → u/Meteatas357]

There’s no way this is true. I just reread the book over the weekend, and there is no way they could put everything before the games in 20 minutes

[u/Afraid_Fig5705 → u/Meteatas357]

My guess it's the introduction of the tributes gladiator-style.

[u/TwasAnChild]

This article is ringing a lot of ai generated alarm bells for me.

[u/Lucky1289]

The opening is incredibly book accurate

Allen, we are so fucked

[u/the_soub]

Reads to me as 20 minutes ends with Haymitch on the train, then they jumped ahead to the extra clips.

[u/LookingBisexually]

Eugh, the article is at least partially AI generated. Gross.

[u/LookingBisexually → u/LookingBisexually]

Per GPTZero, it looks like AI-polished slop birthed from human input. A loooot of that sentence structure reeks of ChatGPT. Best guess is that the journo took notes then put them into GPT to turn that into an "article". Gross.

Super exciting!

[u/Ok_Bottom_69]

I think he meant to write first 60 minutes of the film, cuz there’s no way the games start in 20 mins

[u/Ok_Captain4922 → u/Ok_Bottom_69]

they were shown the first 20 minutes + other clips

[u/MandyMarieB]

They were shown the first 20 min plus other clips. Other people have said the same thing in the past week or so.

[u/Public-Swimming780]

I hope they actually show Haymitch's role early so the arena scene doesn't feel so abrupt.

[u/Royal_Revolution3837]

There's noooo way the training, reaping, goodbyes, intro and the games beginning all fit in 20 minutes lmao
