The drumline from a local high school band fired the audience up before the premiere of the new film's trailer.

Stars Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson joined director Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson for the question-and-answer session.

Concluding the panel discussion, Jacobson told fans the Comic-Con get together was an emotional one, explaining, "The end is emotional for all of us... We don't want to say goodbye to each other. We all wish there were seven or eight books, not just three. It's a very emotional conclusion. It's emotional for us, but it will be emotional for the fans."

Author Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games book series was split into four films. The final movie, Mockingjay - Part 2, will be released later this year (15).
