Writer Simon Beaufoy Confirmed For Hunger Games Sequel Catching Fire

January 17, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Hunger Games may not have been released yet, but Lionsgate has already set a release date for the sequel, and so work’s already well underway on Catching Fire. The presumption has been that writer Simon Beaufoy and director Gary Ross would return, and now TheWrap has confirmed that.

Ross had apparently wanted to write the script himself, but post-production work on Hunger Games meant that was impossible. As a result Beaufoy is currently at work writing Catching Fire, under Gary Ross’ supervision. Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are already tied in to return as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark.

It isn’t known when production may begin on Catching Fire, but it’s been slated for release on November 22, 2013.

New Hunger Games Poster Is A Puzzle

December 16, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Yesterday Lionsgate released tiny puzzle-piece bits of a new Hunger Games poster to various different websites for industrious fans to play with. It appears someone under the Twitter handle johnshoward was the first to gather all the bits together and put them together, and the result is the rather cool image above!

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

‘Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.’ The Hunger Games hits cinemas on March 23rd.

Simon Beaufoy Wanted To Write Hunger Games Sequel

November 17, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

With it looking more and more likely that Lionsgate’s adaptation of The Hunger Games will be a huge success, the studio is already getting keen that the planned sequel happens as soon as possible. So while Hunger Games won’t hit theaters until March 23, they want the script for Catching Fire started well before then and Deadline reports they’re seeking Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours’ Simon Beaufoy to write it.

The original plan was to have Hunger Games director Gary Ross team up with author Suzanne Collins to write the sequel, since they wrote most of The Hunger Games’ script. However, a tight post-production schedule means Ross doesn’t have time to work on the Catching Fire script is there’s any hope of keeping to the schedules Lionsgate wants.

Apparently Beaufoy and Lionsgate have not entered into discussions yet, but the studio is reportedly very high on getting Simon Beaufoy. Back in August Lionsgate set a November 22, 2013 release date for Catching Fire, so the clock is already ticking.

The Hunger Games Trailer

November 14, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


They’re certainly hyping up The Hunger Games, in the hopes it will take over from Twilight as the top young adult franchise around. Now the first full trailer for the movie has arrives, which certainly make the movie look intriguing and that it may hold interest for those a little older than the target audience. Jennifer Lawrence i heads a cast that also includes Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks and Stanley Tucci, to tell the tale of a future society where the US has broken down into separate factions, and the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in The Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which ‘Tributes’ must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence), is representing District 12, replacing her chosen younger sister. The film arrives in cinemas March 23rd, 2012.

Hunger Games Character Posters Revealed

October 28, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment


It’s only a few months now until The Hunger Games hits cinemas (March 23rd, 2012), which Lionsgate is certainly hoping will be the new Twilight, as they’ve been hyping it up to the max. The latest part of that campaign is the release of eight character posters featuring Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), Effie (Elizabeth Banks), Cinna (Lenny Kravitz), Rue (Amandla Stenberg), and Cato (Alexander Ludwig).

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

‘Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.’

Take a look at the character posters above and below.
