Catching Fire’s Francis Lawrence On Sticking Close To The Book And Things That Spin

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:45 am, May 16th, 2013

I think it’s safe to say director Francis Lawrence has a lot of pressure on his shoulders thanks to him taking on not just The Hunger Games: Catching Fire but also The Hunger Games: Mockingjay for Lionsgate. As with any adaptation, fans are wondering if anything major will be changed for the screen. Hit the jump for a few answers.

Here’s a New, Beautiful, Kinda Badass Catching Fire Poster

by Susana Polo | 12:13 pm, May 14th, 2013

The text reads “The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand,” a line from the first chapter of Suzanne Collins‘ Catching Fire. Katniss means it quite literally, but of course it’s not the first thing she’s said that’s been appropriated by people, fictional or otherwise, for their own agendas or dreams. The poster was revealed on the Hunger Games Instagram page, and I do hope they reveal it in a higher resolution soon, because it’s a beaut.

Here’s the The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Trailer Because You Didn’t Watch the MTV Movie Awards

by Susana Polo | 9:33 am, April 15th, 2013

I know this is usually the spot for Monday Cute, but guys the The Hunger Games: Catching Fire trailer is really smart.

Come, behind the jump to hear me ramble about how freakin’ smart this trailer is, in a world where every action movie trailer has to include shots from all the action sequences.

First Image Of Katniss And Prim From The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:22 am, April 11th, 2013

We’ve seen photos from the set, stills, posters, and more posters, but I believe this is our first image from the film itself that features Katniss and Prim together. And seeing as how Katniss heads back home to District 12 after The Hunger Games, she should be getting some quality sister time in.

It’s An Itsy Bitsy, Teeny Weeny, Burning The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Teaser Trailer

by Susana Polo | 4:36 pm, March 12th, 2013

Tiny. And in French. And it’s basically the same as the motion poster. But now it’s a YouTube video that doesn’t autoplay.

And is in French. I have to say, Catching Fire sounds even cooler when it’s L’Embrasement.

Finnick And Some Other Guys In The Latest Round Of Catching Fire Portraits

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:35 pm, March 8th, 2013

You may be saying to yourself, “Wait a second, Gale doesn’t belong in a Capitol Portrai!” But let’s face it, these are really only “Capitol Portraits” because that sounds cool. They’re just movie posters. See what President Snow is wearing and what Finnick may or may not be wearing in his…

It’s Haymitch’s Turn to Sober Up and Have His Official Portrait Taken

by Susana Polo | 4:32 pm, March 5th, 2013

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has started to ramp up its PR machine well in advance of its November release date, with stately portraits of its major players (at least, so far, the adult ones). One wonders if this means a teaser trailer will be making the rounds in the next month or so?

The Next Catching Fire Character Gets A Capitol Portrait, Plus New York Loves The Hunger Games

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:01 am, March 5th, 2013

We know The Hunger Games trilogy is great but apparently, one city just can’t get enough of it. New York! And just yesterday we showed you Effie Trinket’s fabulous Capitol Portrait. Many fans guessed the empty yellow chair would be filled by none other than Caesar Flickerman. Were they right?

Effie Gets A Capitol Portrait For The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:20 pm, March 4th, 2013

The Capitol tumblr is back up and running to tease us with fabulous fashion from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. A little while ago they posted a photo of just a chair, and chair which is now filled by Elizabeth Banks’ Effie Trinket. There’s currently another chair waiting to get a butt.
