The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Victors Get A Banner

August 30, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hunger-Games-Catching-Fire-Victors-Banner
The marketing for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is ratcheting up before the film’s November release. The latest is a banner showing off a selection of the victors of previous Hunger Games, who are forced back into the arena.

You can click on the pic above for a larger version, or head over to ComicBookMovie for a more interactive version.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.

‘THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE is directed by Francis Lawrence, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the second in a trilogy that has over 50 million copies in print in the U.S. alone. THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE opens on November 22, 2013.’

Katniss & Peeta Get A Hunger Games Victors Banner, Plus The First Poster For Terry Gilliam’s Zero Theorem

August 21, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

catching-fire-victory-panel-posterThe Victors Emerge is a new banner for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which show Katniss and Peeta looking slinky in skin-tight outfits. It’s the first in a series of pics due to debut on the new site, TheHungerGamesExplorer.com. The image sees them gearing up for the 75th Annual Hunger Games, also known as The Quarter Quell, which brings many past victors back to head go into the arena once more. The film’s out in November.

Also just released, via TheFilmStage, is the first poster for Terry Gilliam’s Zero Theorem. The movie is about an eccentric and reclusive computer genius (Christoph Waltz), who is plagued with existential angst while working on a mysterious project aimed at discovering the purpose of existence, or­ the lack thereof,­ once and for all. However, it is only once he experiences the power of love and desire that he is able to understand his very reason for being.

Ben Whishaw, Matt Damon, Tilda Swinton, David Thewlis, Mélanie Thierry, Lucas Hedges and Sanjeev Bhaskar co-star. The story, by Pat Rushin, was partially inspired by Gilliam’s own Brazil, so it’s very apt Terry has taken the project on.

Johanna Mason (Jena Malone) Shows Off Her Hunger Games: Catching Fire Fashion

August 20, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

catching-fire-johanna-mason-capitol-coutureThe Hunger Games: Catching Fire has been trying to selling itself on showing off the over-the-top style of the Capitol, the autocratic place that hold control over the districts and forces competitors into the Hunger Games arena to do battle.

Now a new series has been with an image of Jena Malone as Johanna Mason, a former champion who initially seems to take a disliking to Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen but eventually revealed hidden depths. The pic debuted over at CapitolCouture.

Here’s the description that came with the pic: ‘The young District 7 victor takes glamour to new heights.

‘Johanna Mason may hail from the lumber district, but this slip of a victor is anything but green.  Don’t be swayed by her cinnamon sprinkle of freckles and delicate, doll-like features. She was one of the youngest tributes ever reaped in Hunger Games history and her agility with an axe resonates throughout Panem. Sly. Savage. Sangfroid. These are just a few of the adjectives tossed around to describe Mason, who’s known for disarming her victims by feigning weakness.

‘Mason arrives at her photo shoot for Capitol Couture looking anything but meek. She has a reputation for being snide with her prep team.  District 7’s stylist has been dressing tributes like oak trees and firs for the opening ceremonies ever since the first Hunger Games. Clearly, Mason prefers a more conceptual take on lumber and paper.  “My stylist’s the biggest idiot in the Capitol. Wish I’d gotten Cinna,” she has been known to mumble.

‘During make up, Mason doesn’t fidget as her artist adheres three-inch eyelashes to her lower lashline that only intensify her disarming gaze. (It’s telling that she doesn’t flinch once, even when dots of hot glue are applied.) A palette of golden metallic eyeshadow brings out the greenish brown of her up-slanted eyes and extended wings of copper cream shadow add depth.  For her lips, a trace of nude liner is filed with a matte soft sienna lipstick and then overlaid with bronze gloss.  Her lustrous chestnut locks, upswept into a coronet of curls, lend an organic majesty to the look. The effect is futuristic forest queen. It’s almost as if this petite tribute has been gilded by a nymph from her very own district.

‘But it’s her custom gown—a graceful collaboration by Capitol costume designer Trish Summerville and couture designer Jan Taminiau—that transforms her from gladiator to goddess. Constructed of artfully shredded and ruched chiffon and rags, the confection feels like flutters of paper in a gentle breeze.  The use of bark tissue or sculpted cork for the bodice, one sleeve and plumed collar is a nod to the natural resources of District 7.  “I love creating a fantasy around a woman’s body,” says the Dutch designer Taminiau of his creative process. The asymmetry suits Mason and allows us a glimpse of her bold bracelet of bronze nails. The gold ear cuffs by jewelry designer Eddie Borgo supply just the right amount of glint.

Mason poses for a few shots and then slips off her four-inch platform Camilla Skovgaard jagged-wedged sandals. She suddenly looks smaller, even younger—but hardly weak.  Clearly, the odds are ever in her favor and this victor doesn’t need to knock on wood.’

August 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


The November release of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is drawing closer, and now a new international trailer has been released, giving us plenty of new footage from the film.

Sam Claflin Gets A Shirtless New Hunger Games: Catching Fire Pic

July 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hunger-games-catching-fire-sam-claflin-shirtless
While we met most of the main Hunger Games players in the first film, one on the new players in Catching Fire who becomes increasingly important is Finnick Odair, a former champion beloved by the women of the Capitol. However while he initially appears arrogant and entitled, he slowly reveals a more complex character.

Now we’ve got a brand new image of Odair, as played by Sam Claflin, from the movie, and he’s shirtless!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.’

The film’s due out November 22nd.

And if you want to see the shirtlessness in motion, you can see it in the recently released new trailer below. [Read more…]

New Hunger Games: Catching Fire Poster Sees Jennifer Lawrence Atop A Mountain

May 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hunger-games-catching-fire-poster1
The hype for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is already building, and the latest thing designed to pique people’s interest is a new poster, featuring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, standing atop a peak.

It also features the memorable quote from Suzanne Collins’ novel, “The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.”

Following Katniss and Peeta’s Hunger Games victory, dissent has grown in the districts and she’s now seen as a major threat by the Capitol. Unsurprisingly they want her out of the way. If you’ve read the book you’ll know what that means, although I won’t spoil it if you don’t know.

The film is out this November.

First The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Trailer – ‘She has become a beacon of hope for them, she has to be eliminated’

April 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


With the MTV Movie Awards comes the first trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which I’m sure will have a lot of people very excited. It’s a good intro to the second movie, that manages to intrigue while hiding the big reveal of the main section of the plot.

The trailer sets up the fact that following Katniss and Peeta’s Hunger Games victory, dissent has grown in the districts and she’s now seen as a major threat by the Capitol and they want her out of the way. Indeed, President Snow doesn’t just seem to think Katniss needs to be eliminated. If you’ve read the book you’ll know what that means, although I won’t spoil it if you don’t know, although there are hints in this trailer.

The film is out this November. [Read more…]
