One of the first notable images to hit the web was of a structure labeled “District 12,” right beside some train tracks nonetheless. Sure enough, an image of a train car branded with the Capitol logo surfaced soon after, which leads me to believe the rumors are true; Shelby was the shooting location for the reaping scene after which poor Katniss and Peeta board a train to the Capitol for the Games. Also falling in line with this supposed shooting schedule is the appearance of Elizabeth Banks in full Effie Trinket attire. Unfortunately, Lionsgate requested that both the shots of Banks as Effie and the Capitol logo be tucked away for the time being, but if you were lucky enough to catch them while they were live, you know that the production is moving in the right direction – visually at least.</span></span></p><br /><p style="CLEAR: none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.33em; PADDING-TOP: 0px"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;">In other exciting Shelby news, apparently they’ve actually<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">constructed a Capitol hovercraft</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and the vehicle was the focus of a scene that was shot about a week ago.

While there is one notable explosion in the arena, should Henry River Mill Village be a District 12-specific shooting location, the only possible scene this explosion could be associated with is the one that took the life of Katniss and Gale’s fathers during the infamous mining accident. We never actually see the incident play out in the book; we only know of it through Katniss’ memories and the scars it left behind. It looks as though the film version could offer a firsthand look at the tragedy, albeit perhaps a slightly altered version as the structure that went kaboom was a house rather than a mineshaft.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">Down With The Capitol</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>actually has a very interesting and plausible theory on the topic, which you can read about here.</span></span></p><br /><p style="CLEAR: none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.33em; PADDING-TOP: 0px"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Now that the production has wrapped in both Shelby and Hildebran, the latest location that must make way for<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><em style="FONT-STYLE: italic">The Hunger Games</em><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>is<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">Dupont State Forest</span><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">, the reported site of the arena scenes.

In the book, Katniss spends most of her time with Peeta in the Capitol and the arena while Gale remains home in District 12, almost entirely absent from the story except for Katniss’ recollections. What’s a love triangle when one party isn’t present to fight for the romance? According to the article, “scenes have been added in to give the heartthrob a larger role on-screen and make the love triangle steamier and a bigger aspect early on in the franchise,” that heartthrob being Liam Hemsworth as Gale.

They launched sites through which you could sign up for tesserae, one called “Government of Panem” featuring a countdown clock and the message “See you in October” and another called “Mellark Bakery” where you could order loaves of bread. According to DWTC, the tesserae site once had this disclaimer: “Please know that PanemOctober is a fan-made ARG for the Hunger Games upcoming film … This website is in no way affiliated with Scholastic, Lionsgate Films, Suzanne Collins or any HG-related officials.” Well, apparently that wasn’t enough because as of late last night, the Gamemakers of Welcome to Panem had to put an end to their effort at the studios’ urging.</span></p><br /><p style="CLEAR: none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.33em; PADDING-TOP: 0px"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Lastly, we’re in the midst of a naming revolution.

I’ve come across a bunch of incredibly appropriate suggestions like The Mockingjays and The Rebels as well as some I’d rather not adopt like The Buttercups and The Hungries. Of all the suggestions, I’m leaning towards The Tributes as it’s deeply rooted in a central element of the story, bears a great deal of depth and is quite simple. And apparently many other fans are in agreement. The options that made it to the final six are Tributes, Mockingjays, Jabberjays, Hunger Gamers, Rebels and Hunger Games Fans (HG Fans).</span></span></p><br /><p style="CLEAR: none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.33em; PADDING-TOP: 0px"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;"></span></p><br /><p style="CLEAR: none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.33em; PADDING-TOP: 0px"><strong style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: normal"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">The Fan Sites Weigh In – Scenes Not In The Book That Could Be Suitable For The Film</span></strong></p><br /><p style="CLEAR: none; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 1em; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; MARGIN: 0px 0px 1em; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.33em; PADDING-TOP: 0px"><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;">Adapting a beloved book for the big screen is a testy venture.

It would also be interesting to see some of the Capitol citizens' reactions. Are they really as okay with all this as the government of the Capitol makes you think? Perhaps they go along with the fanfare because they’re afraid of the consequences of going against President Snow, but maybe in the privacy of their own homes, they find it just as appalling as the family members and citizens of the districts.

The piece, which discusses everything from casting Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, to the Twilight comparisons, to the PG-13 rating, gives a good overview of what will work on screen, and what might need to change. </div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">"But toning down the violence and tweaking the costumes isn’t a big deal. While they do help color the world, they’re not essential to the plot. A larger question is can a director like Ross introduce the brutality and bleakness required of the story. His specialty up to this point has been feel-good pictures like Pleasantville and Seabiscuit and The Hunger Games doesn’t live anywhere close to those two movies. That’s not to say he isn’t capable of doing a strong adaptation, but it will most likely be completely unlike anything we’ve seen from him before.<br /><br />The biggest challenge is the romance between Katniss and Peeta. The two tributes know they have to put on a show of romance for the viewers and sponsors, but Katniss’ internal monologue lets us know that she’s actually starting to fall for Peeta. But because this is a movie, how will Ross make the distinction between Katniss playing towards the TV cameras and playing towards the real camera? My first thought is to cut between a “TV feed” when she’s faking and the actual movie when she’s being authentic, but that approach may be a little too obvious and distracting."<br /><br /><strong>You can read the rest of the article </strong><a href="http://collider.com/hunger-games-movie-adaptation-analysis/96559/"><strong>here</strong></a><br />via <a href="http://hungergamesdwtc.net/2011/06/collider-weighs-in-the-hunger-games-movie-adaptation/">hungergamesdwtc</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06642332485858957391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741658960981706618.post-41408081189169005742011-06-13T23:57:00.000-07:002011-06-13T23:58:41.937-07:00Will The Hunger Games be at Comic Con?

Will the Hunger Games be promoted at the popular convention? Sara Gundell from the Hunger Games Examiner reached out to Lionsgate for more information<br /><br />“<strong>Our Comic Con plans aren’t locked yet</strong>,” Lionsgate tells The Hunger Games Examiner. “<strong>But we will be sure to keep everyone posted</strong>.”<br /><br />We already know Lionsgate will be at Comic Con promoting the remake of Conan the Barbarian and Abduction, starring Taylor Lautner.

Bone brought actress Jennifer Lawrence in to sing a haunting song he had written. </strong>The day they came in was the first day of shooting for the film but T. Bone had been working on the music for some time. He was one of the nicest, most genuine people we have had the pleasure of working with. I drove him to Best Buy and he talked candidly about making music, about the music industry and where it’s going. I was in total nerd glory. I got back to find out the director of the film had hit my car in the parking lot. I guess if you’re going to have someone hit your car, it might as well be the guy who directed Seabiscuit and Pleasantville, right?<br /><br />If the music is any indication of how the movie is going to turn out, it’s going to be fantastic. And it’s filming for the next two months in Asheville, so hopefully we’ll get the pleasure of working with Jason and T. Bone again.<br /><br />source <a href="http://www.echomountain.net/news/t-bone-burnett-in-api-studio/">echomountain</a> via <a href="http://mockingjay.net/2011/06/13/jennifer-lawrence-records-original-song-for-hunger-games-film-in-asheville/">mockingjay.net</a></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06642332485858957391noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741658960981706618.post-18827010865350313512011-06-11T03:05:00.000-07:002011-06-11T03:06:35.450-07:00Video: Jennifer Behind the Scenes of Marie Claire UK PhotoShoot<div align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="WORD-SPACING: 0px;

During an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman recently to promote X-Men: First Class, Lawrence — who landed the lead role as Katniss — joked about the movie, even taking a jab at Twilight, saying: “<strong>It’s a very violent futuristic movie where kids are selected from their home districts to fight in an arena to the death … but we don’t drink blood.

Back in early 2010, Color Force and Lionsgate began the process of adapting the book to the screen and I wrote the first draft of the script. After that, we brought on veteran screenwriter Billy Ray to further develop the piece. Not only has he written and directed excellent films like Shattered Glass and Breach, he was a complete pleasure to work with. Amazingly talented, collaborative, and always respectful of the book. His adaptation further explored the world of Panem and its inhabitants. As though I wasn't lucky enough, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Gary Ross, known for his wonderful works such as Seabiscuit and Pleasantville, came on board. <br /><br />As part of his creative process, he wrote a subsequent draft which incorporated his incredible directorial vision of the film. And then he very generously invited me in to work with him on it. We had an immediate and exhilarating creative connection that brought the script to the first day of shooting. Of course, the piece will naturally continue to evolve through the filming, as the actors bring the characters to life, as the entire crew brings their significant talents to the piece, as the editors work with Gary to best realize his vision. The final draft will be on the screen next March. <br /><br />So that's been the script process, and as an author, I'm truly grateful for the journey. <br /><br />May the odds be ever in your favor!<br /><br />Suzanne Collins<br /><br />source <a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes/the-hunger-games/a-message-from-suzanne-collins/232165733466752">the-hunger-games</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06642332485858957391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741658960981706618.post-20623014374917067212011-06-06T01:35:00.000-07:002011-06-06T01:36:06.471-07:00New Pics on the Set -- Peacekeepers First Look!<div align="center"><a href="http://img846.imageshack.us/i/tumblrlm98volztn1qdqpmo.jpg/" target="_blank"><img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/5876/tumblrlm98volztn1qdqpmo.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://img155.imageshack.us/i/tumblrlm98wijcsw1qdqpmo.jpg/" target="_blank"><img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/4661/tumblrlm98wijcsw1qdqpmo.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div align="center">via <a href="http://girl-on-fire-12.livejournal.com/177725.html">girl-on-fire-12.livejournal</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06642332485858957391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741658960981706618.post-87320273574009639442011-06-02T01:31:00.000-07:002011-06-09T05:57:23.271-07:00Lionsgate Confirms: FOUR Movies in the Hunger Games Franchise’s Future<div align="center"><a href="http://img808.imageshack.us/i/lionsgatelogo1300x133.jpg/" target="_blank"><img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/6164/lionsgatelogo1300x133.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />As reported earlier by <a href="http://hungergames-fans.blogspot.com/2011/06/hunger-games-to-be-made-into-four.html">Deadline</a>, a Lionsgate Executive told Wall Street Analysts that The Hunger Games series would be brought to the screen as four action films.

COO Joe Drake said it was "the highest-selling film we've ever had" at the Cannes Film Festival and that overseas exhibitors consider it "the movie that can change their company." Although Lionsgate wouldn't disclose its budget for the films, Drake says Hunger Games could become an "outsized success" for Lionsgate. The studio says it bought the rights before the books became runaway bestsellers, and it has "retained the majority of the upside" in its talent and distribution deals.<br /><br /><strong>On other matters following the company's earnings report yesterday, Lionsgate says that it isn't concerned about the public's waning interest in 3D</strong>. "We never thought of 3D as a one-size-fits all solution to the movie business," CEO Jon Feltheimer says. He added that Lionsgate's recent deal to syndicate reruns of Mad Men to Netflix reflects his view that Internet streaming services can be "partners, not adversaries." He hopes to "replicate these kinds of deals around the world." He also told analysts to expect financial growth over the next year at Lionsgate's struggling TV Guide Network cable channel. The company says it just renewed its carriage deal with Time Warner Cable and expects the channel to be in 80% of all pay TV homes by year end. Lionsgate says that the channel's split screen, to meld programming with a listings guide, "tarnished" it. But its new full-screen version is delivering higher ratings on DirecTV and Dish Network. Feltheimer also hinted at the possibility that some assets considered "non-core" may be sold. He told analysts to expect an announcement "in the near future" about an effort to simplify its business. Investors "will be pleased" he said.<br /><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">source </span></em><a href="http://www.deadline.com/"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">deadline.com</span></em></a><em><span style="font-size:85%;"> image source </span></em><a href="http://www.cliochiang.com/gallery/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/hunting.jpg"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">cliochiang</span></em></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06642332485858957391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741658960981706618.post-46741947191200542692011-06-02T01:28:00.000-07:002011-06-02T01:29:23.445-07:00Donald Sutherland Officially Cast as President Snow in The Hunger Games<div align="center"><img alt="" src="http://i785.photobucket.com/albums/yy139/TheHobOrgNews/Cast%20Members/310832420-1.jpg" /><br /><br />DONALD SUTHERLAND CAST AS PRESIDENT SNOW IN LIONSGATE’S THE HUNGER GAMES <br /><br />LOS ANGELES, CA, May 31, 2011- Lionsgate® and the filmmakers of THE HUNGER GAMES are pleased to announce that Donald Sutherland has been cast in the role of President Snow in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ worldwide smash hit novel. <br /><br />SUTHERLAND, star of such iconic films as M*A*S*H, Ordinary People , Klute and Kelly’s Heroes, will next be seen in this summer’s comedy, Horrible Bosses and recently starred in The Mechanic with Jason Statham and Ben Foster, The Eagle with Channing Tatum and the highly-successful long form adaptation of Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth. <br /><br />About The Role <br />President Snow has been the autocratic ruler of Panem and its contained districts for some 25 years at the outset of the story.

(Well, those are four-turned-five and seven-turned-eight, but you get our drift.)<br />Obviously, we're muy curious about how (if not why) the team plans to go about this. Like, is there going to be Catching Fire and then a two-part Mockingjay? Or...<br /><br />Alas, those answers are for another time.<br />But while the creative kinks are still being worked out, the real brains behind this decision are talking up what they see as the studio's next tent pole.<br />"The property is generating tremendous buzz and excitement, and it all points to a major Lionsgate franchise in the making," CEO Jon Feltheimer said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday.<br /><br />"We have distributors who consider this as their big brand next year, the movie that can change their company," added motion picture group president Joe Drake.<br />Actually, Lionsgate probably wouldn't mind if it changed their company a little bit, either. Its motion picture group saw a 10-percent surge in revenue over the last fiscal year (including on-demand and DVD money), but Feltheimer admitted that their films had been hit-and-miss at the box office.<br />"Our numbers going forward should reflect growing momentum in our film business," he said in a statement.<br />Not to mention growing interest in an independent, ass-kicking teen played by Jennifer Lawrence who's fighting for her life at the behest of a cruel and unusual government.<br />For four films instead of three!</p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06642332485858957391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741658960981706618.post-25380913611292571252011-05-30T23:15:00.000-07:002011-05-30T23:17:52.244-07:00Jennifer Lawrence Covers Flare Magazine -- June 2011<div align="center"><a href="http://img339.imageshack.us/i/jenniferlawrenceflare1.jpg/" target="_blank"><img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/5949/jenniferlawrenceflare1.jpg" width="550" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://img146.imageshack.us/i/jenniferlawrenceflare2.jpg/" target="_blank"><img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6669/jenniferlawrenceflare2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://img846.imageshack.us/i/jenniferlawrenceflare3.jpg/" target="_blank"><img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/286/jenniferlawrenceflare3.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div align="center">source <a href="http://www.magxone.com/misc-magazine/jennifer-lawrence-flare-magazine-june-2011/">magxone.com</a> via <a href="http://thin-inspirations/">thin-inspirations</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06642332485858957391noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741658960981706618.post-60936260380574496972011-05-30T02:28:00.000-07:002011-05-30T02:29:53.812-07:00EXCLUSIVE: First Look at the District 12 Justice Building<p align="center"><a href="http://img198.imageshack.us/i/img2028v.jpg/" target="_blank"><img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8560/img2028v.jpg" width="500" border="0" /></a></p><br /><p align="center">via <a href="http://www.downwiththecapitol.net/2011/05/exclusive-first-look-at-district-12.html">downwiththecapitol.net</a></p>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06642332485858957391noreply@blogger.com0
