By Leave a Comment

hunger-games-catching-fire-pic1
It’s been promised that the trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will debut this weekend during the MTV Movie Awards, but ahead of that a new image from the film has emerged, featuring Katniss getting a hug from younger sister Prim.

The pic is the first released via TheHungerGamesExplorer.com, which lets fans unlocked new photos by sharing at #HungerGamesExplorer at various social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.

In the sequel, the Capitol fears the dissent Peeta and Katniss’ Hunger Games victory has caused in the districts, so in the hope of tightening their grip, they organise a new tournament that will pit former Games champions against one another in the arena. That means Katniss and Peeta’s lives are on the lines once more. Catching Fire is released this November.

President Snow Gets A Hunger Games: Catching Fire Fashion Portrait

By Leave a Comment

catching-fire-snow-portrait
All this week we’ve been posting Capitol Fashion portraits of the cast of The Hunger Games: Catching. Now we’ve reached what we assume is the final one – the evil head of the Capitol himself, President Snow (Donald Sutherland).

Here’s the synopsis for the film: ‘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.’

Johanna is a former victor from District 7, who like many other champions is forced back into the arena. She’s a ruthless woman who almost immediately butts up against Katniss, although slowly starts to warm to her. Beetee meanwhile is an oddball that most people think will only last a few minutes back in the arena. However Katniss teams up with him and realises how useful his knowledge of electronics will be.

The film’s due out November 22nd.

Finnick, Gale & Peeta Smoulder In Hunger Games: Catching Fire Fashion Posters

By Leave a Comment

catching-fire-finnick-portrait
Over the last few days, Lionsgate has been releasing a slew of Capitol Fashion Portraits of various characters, ranging from Katniss to newcomers like Johanna Mason (Jena Malone). Now it’s the turn of the main men, with pics for Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), and newbie Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin).

Finnick is a former champion, known for being cocky, arrogant and a favourite of the ladies of the Capitol. While Katniss initially takes a disliking to him, she come to realise there’s more under the surface than his public image suggests.

One thing we’ve been wondering is why Gale got a portrait? After all, while all the other pics are either Capitol residents or former champions, Gale’s never been out of District 12 (well, he’s been into the woods nearby, but that doesn’t really count.

The film is out November 22nd.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Victory Tour Posters Emerge

By Leave a Comment

hunger-games-catching-fire-victory-tour-poster1 If you win The Hunger Games you have to go on a tour around the district, and so in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, that’s exactly what Peeta and Katniss must do, whether they want to or not. Now two posters for this Victory Tour have been released, giving off a rather virginal, marriage feeling.

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.

The film’s due out November 22nd. It’ll be interesting to see if Lionsgate continue this marketing strategy, teasing us as if we were residents of Panem.

More Hunger Games: Catching Fire Pics Online, Including First Look At Philip Seymour Hoffman

By Leave a Comment

hunger-games-catching-fire-ew-pic2A couple of days ago our very first look at The Hunger Games: Catching Fire arrived, with an EW cover and a look at Sam Claflin’s Finnick Odair getting close to Jennifer Lawrence’s Katniss Everdeen. Now EW has released a quartet of fresh pics from the film, including our first look at Philip Seymour Hoffman as gamesmaker Plutarch Heavensbee.

There’s also Donald Sutherland as the oily President Snow, a shot of Willow Shields and Paula Malconson as Katniss’ sister and mother, as well as director Francis Lawrence chatting to Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth on the set.

The film sees events in Panem escalate as it’s revealed the next Hunger Games will be different to normal and see previous champions thrown back into the arena – meaning Katniss and Peeta are going to be fighting for their lives again. All the while dissent is growing in the districts against the control of the Capitol. The film hits cinemas November 22nd.

Francis Lawrence directs, taking over from Gary Ross who made the first film.

Hunger Games: Catching Fire Arena Scenes Being Shot in IMAX

By Leave a Comment

Last June, Lionsgate revealed that portions of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be shot in the IMAX format. Now, star Josh Hutcherson revealed that it’s all scenes in the games arena that will be shot in IMAX.

In an interview with MTV, he says, “They’re shooting, I think, all the stuff in the arena is going to be IMAX. So when you go see it in IMAX, you’ll see the regular movie when we’re in the Districts and in the Capitol. When you see us go up in the pod in the games, it will open up into IMAX. It will be amazing. It’s very cool.”

The production recently moved from Atlanta to Hawaii, so they can shoot the jungle scenes in director Francis Lawrence’s sequel (each Hunger Games arena is different, with this one having a jungle-covered area).

The actor also spoke about the watery Cornucopia set that they built in Atlanta, “They actually built a cornucopia in Atlanta that we shot at, and it looks amazing, and the way that the spokes got out, and the way everyone comes up on the pedestals and the water – it looks incredible,” he gushed. “I’ve seen some of the CG renderings that [director] Francis [Lawrence] has worked on, and they look really, really great.”

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire comes to theaters December 22nd, 2013.
