HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATNISS EVERDEEN!
#HappyBirthdayKatniss

So we are getting close to the start of everything Catching Fire. If you are like me, Finnick Odair is a name that puts a smile on your face, as does everything else Hunger Games related. Since all the buzz around The Hunger Games has died down a bit, we need new ways to keep ourselves from going insane. So we thought it would be fun to have our followers share their thoughts about who should play the role of the new characters in Catching Fire.
For week 1 we have Finnick Odair, “the handsome bronze-haired guy from District 4”
Who do you think should be Finnick?
Lionsgate has created a new community in Facebook called We Are Panem. You can share your story and your characters style. You can create your own story line and post it on the wall. Some are chosen to be featured for everyone to see. Go here to put your character and story up now.
Lionsgate announced today that Francis Lawrence is officially the director of Catching Fire. Lawrence said the following in a release,
“It is truly an honor and a privilege to bring ‘Catching Fire,’ the second chapter of Suzanne’s beloved trilogy, to the big screen,” “I fell in love with the characters, the themes and the world she created and this chapter opens all of these elements up in such a thrilling, emotional and surprising way. I can’t wait to dive right into it and bring this chapter to life along with the truly superb cast and filmmakers involved.”
A number of names had been bandied about to fill the coveted director’s chair, including Alfonso Cuaron, David Cronenberg, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Bennett Miller, but Lawrence was chosen.
Catching Fire is set for release November 23, 2013
