Where to watch all four Hunger Games films for free ahead of Sunrise of the Reaping

Daily Mirror2 days ago
The Hunger Games franchise is one of the biggest in the world and now fans can soon enjoy a back-to-back marathon of all four films for free.
The Hunger Games fans can look forward to watching the Jennifer Lawrence saga for free ahead of the next prequel's cinema release.

The Hunger Games, based on Suzanne Collins' best-selling novels, made its blockbuster debut in 2012 and has since become one of the globe's most successful film franchises.

Set centuries into the future in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, the narrative unfolds under the oppressive rule of the Capitol.

Each year, the Capitol enforces a brutal tournament, compelling each district to send a boy and girl to partake in a televised battle to the death, until only one victor remains.
When Katniss Everdeen's (portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence) sister is selected for The Hunger Games, she steps forward in her place.
Now, fans are in for a treat as they'll have the opportunity to binge-watch all four films in a free marathon.

Starting with the original film, followed by Catching Fire and then Mockingjay parts one and two, the marathon will be available to stream from 4.55pm on Sunday, July 27, via Pluto TV.
No subscription is necessary to enjoy Pluto TV's free content, which can be accessed through the Pluto TV app or a streaming service device like Roku or an Amazon Fire Stick.

This Hunger Games marathon comes as anticipation builds for the franchise's next prequel, set to hit cinemas on November 20, 2026.
Back in 2024, it was revealed that the prequel Sunrise on the Reaping was in development, following the release of Collins' novel earlier this year.

The film is set to take place 24 years prior to the first film, focusing on the 50th Hunger Games, which featured Woody Harrelson's character Haymitch Abernathy.
Harrelson's younger counterpart will be played by actor Joseph Zada, known for his recent role in the Prime Video thriller We Were Liars.
Joining him will be Gossip Girl's Whitney Peak, The Great's Elle Fanning, Young Sheldon's McKenna Grace and Stranger Things' Maya Hawke.
All four films will be available for streaming consecutively on Pluto TV's free Moviesphere channel from 4.55pm on Sunday, July 27.

'Masterpiece' 70s thriller with shocking twist now available to stream for free

One of the greatest horror films of all time has been made available to stream for free on BBC iPlayer. Directed by Nicolas Roeg from a story by Daphne Du Maurier, Don't Look Now is widely regarded as a pivotal work in the genre. It stars the late, great Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie as John and Laura Baxter, two parents grieving the recent death of their young daughter. The pair visit Venice, where John is helping to renovate a dilapidated church. While there, they meet a pair of elderly sisters—one of whom claims to be a psychic. John struggles with the idea that she's seeing the spirit of his recently drowned daughter but seems to be experiencing nightmarish visions of his own, leading to that shocking twist. After first terrifying audiences in 1973, Don't Look Now is streaming for free, where it can traumatise viewers afresh. Don't Look Now currently sits with a healthy 93% 'fresh' score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with critics describing it as a 'masterpiece' and a 'classic' of the genre. Little White Lies has called it 'calculated perfection,' while The Times described it simply as 'genius.' In 2002, prominent film critic Roger Ebert gave the film a glowing five stars, calling out the film as 'a masterpiece of physical filmmaking.' Upon its release, the film was overshadowed by controversy surrounding its infamous sex scene. As Roeg cuts between images of John and Laura getting ready for dinner, the camera also shows the pair in bed together in a raw and intimate sex sequence. Its visual style led to persistent rumours that these were scenes of real, unsimulated sex between its actors… speculation that continues today. 'My gaze shifted to the actors, and I was riveted. By their shifting positions, it was clear to me they were no longer simply acting: they were f***ing on camera,' wrote Producer Peter Bart in his 2011 memoir, Infamous Players: A Tale of Movies, the Mob (and Sex). However, the stars have always rejected such allegations, with Sutherland denying that Bart was even in the room at all. In the production notes for the film's 4K re-release, cinematographer Anthony B. Richmond echoed Sutherland's denial, saying: 'We did a good job; it's very real. People still say they actually made love, but they didn't.' Meanwhile, Christie's boyfriend at the time, actor Warren Beatty, reportedly tried to prevent the film from being released, so outraged was he by the infamous sex scene. In April 2015, it was announced that the film would be getting a remake, to the chagrin of Hunger Games star Sutherland. Speaking in a sweary interview with Metro, the actor described the prospect of a remake as 'shameful.' He explained: 'Don't embarrass yourselves by participating in it. It's bulls**t. It was a piece of work indelibly written by Nicholas Roeg. More Trending 'Why would they do it? It's just people trying to profit off the back of something that's very beautiful. It's shameful. They should be ashamed of themselves.' A decade on, and the remake has not yet resurfaced. Might it be dead in the water? Watch Don't Look Now on BBC iPlayer.

Love Island is like Hunger Games…I'm 30 & still never had boyfriend – here's reason I blame show, says Olivia Hawkins

LOVE Island 'villain' Olivia Hawkins has compared her two stints on the show to The Hunger Games – and admits they led to her 'losing herself'. The 30-year-old says fellas never ask her out after she was first painted as a troublemaker in the villa in 2023 — then again during her return for this year's All Stars version. 6 6 6 In fact, the beauty, who has been an actress and a ring girl, claims she has never had a proper 'boyfriend'. In an exclusive chat with the Sun on Sunday, Olivia said the telly dating contest reminds her of the brutal fight for survival in dystopian movie series The Hunger Games because 'you never know when you're going to be dumped'. She explains: 'It can feel competitive with everyone the same age, feeling like you're at risk of being dumped. "I find dating hard because the majority of people I meet have watched Love Island, or know of my character on the show. It's hard not to be prejudged. 'I was the villain of the villa. They just saw me as a fiery character. Now I get told I'm quite intimidating. Men don't approach me because they think I won't be responsive. 'But that's a misconception. I'm the most approachable person ever. Men think I'll be hard work, and of course I like the finer things in life, but I ­provide that for myself.' Recalling how the programme affected her, Olivia adds: 'After Love Island, I got to a point where maybe I just lost myself a bit. "You've been painted as this one person, and then it's almost like a persona that you think, 'Oh, that's obviously not me, but do I have to keep that up?'.' The Brighton -born beauty, who starred in James Bond film No Time To Die with Daniel Craig and Ana de Armas, is now taking part in another TV show, Celebs Go Dating, in search of romance. During her first Love Island appearance, she coupled up with Will Young, Haris Namani and Kai Fagan, but was accused of being hypocritical and ­instigating toxic antics that made at least one of the lads cry. "She slated the boys who kissed new women behind their original partner's back, despite female friends also doing that. And when she took part in All Stars, she was branded a troublemaker again for seemingly trying to split Luca Bish and Grace Jackson. Despite dating a string of hunks — including EastEnders star Max Bowden, who plays Ben Mitchell, and fellow islander Jack Fowler — she feels her reputation has put men off committing to her and hopes that will soon change with Celebs Go Dating. She says: 'All I want is a partner to be there for me and be my soulmate, and to have a shoulder to lean on. I'd just love someone to take me for being me and get to know the person away from the screen. 'I felt like I really had to try and prove everyone wrong or show a different side to me. 'But really, I needed to just put myself first, and as long as I'm happy with myself, that's all that matters. 6 6 6 'My romantic life has been a real journey, a rollercoaster. I've never been in a relationship. Throughout my twenties, I really settled for the bare minimum and I didn't, I guess, realise my worth. 'I'm now finally at that place where I just don't want to settle for any less. I don't need to put up with a d**khead. 'I know what I bring to the table, so if someone else can't match that, then my time is so precious, as is theirs . . . I don't want to waste my time on anyone.' Olivia will put her romantic fate in the hands of matchmakers Paul C Brunson and Anna Williamson on Celebs Go Dating, which kicks off on E4 on August 11. She will be joined on the show by singletons Kerry Katona, Christine McGuinness, S Club 7's Jon Lee and The Chase star Mark 'The Beast' Labbett. They will be paired with non-celebrity strangers the TV experts believe could be perfect for them — and fans will see the couples then go on a string of dates. After the brutality of Love Island, Olivia says she is enjoying the process. She explains: 'On Celebs, you're never dumped unless you do something really bad! 'Sod the haters' 'That is the nicest part about it. I have full control and I'm not competing with anyone. 'But also, it's in my hands to make sure I'm making the right decision for myself. And I really do feel like I put myself first on this series.' Olivia insists she knows what she wants in a man, revealing. 'At this stage in my life, looks only go so far. 'I've met some absolutely gorgeous men and it just hasn't been there because the personality wasn't there to match. Sometimes, guys can be so attractive and that's all they rely on, and that makes them unattractive. 'I definitely wouldn't say looks are the be all and end all. I don't want to get to 90 and think, 'Oh, the only reason I went for him was because he was 6ft 5ins and so good-looking'. 'I want to be like, 'Haven't we had the best life? We've laughed so much'. 'I need banter. I can't have someone super-sensitive, because I am quite sarcastic. So someone that can give it back to me — that's playful — and I really wanted someone ­communicative and considerate.' Revealing her dating priorities, Olivia says: 'I need someone that's family orientated. I can't compromise on that.' The Celebs Go Dating stars got a baptism of fire on the new series with a singles night straight away, where they had to pick a match to take on a sun-kissed trip to Ibiza. And despite spending weeks on national TV wearing just a bikini, Olivia says she was more nervous walking into that party — or a 'mixer', as it is called on the show — than she was entering the villa. 'I've never been so nervous,' she admits. 'I know it's ridiculous, but because this was more focused on me and my journey, it's different.' Olivia hopes that by showing her vulnerability, fans will finally see a different side to her. And if they don't, she is past caring. She says with a laugh: 'Sod the haters. They're always going to be there. I don't worry about other people's opinions. I just live life and be happy.'
