Fans Needed To Go Through A Strange, Swanky Gallery To Watch The New 'Hunger Games' Trailer At Comic-Con
"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part I" trailer won't be released globally until Monday, but if you're at San Diego Comic-Con you can watch it now. You just have to enter the world of the film.
Lionsgate partnered with Samsung to exclusively premiere the teaser trailer at the four-day convention on the Samsung Tab S Friday afternoon.
In order to see it before anyone else, fans were asked to head to the Hard Rock Hotel outside of the San Diego Convention Center.

Once inside, fans headed to a section of Samsung's Galaxy Experience called the Capitol Gallery. It's named after the fictional utopian city in "The Hunger Games" where the world's most elite live.

Also looming were these guys. No, they weren't "Star Wars" stormtroopers. They're "peacekeepers" who could be found watching over a tribute wall to "heroes" from the 12 different Capitol districts where citizens live.

After waiting in line, fans were finally ushered into a large, dimly lit room filled with many pod-shaped chairs.

The individual setup at each station looked cozy with a pillow and big headphones.
