“Hunger Games: Catching Fire” is a little more than a month away from its release date, and Entertainment Weekly has rolled out collectable covers honoring the newest installment.
“In every scene we asked ourselves, ‘How would these people feel if they came back to the Hunger Games,’” producer Nina Jacobson told EW. “What happens when you come back from these experiences of war, not what happens in a movie when you’ve kicked a lot of ass?”
Check out what EW’s newest issue has in store for “Hunger Games” fans:
After a special report from the sweltering set in Hawaii, we head to Santa Monica, where EW reconvened the stars — along with new director Francis Lawrence and producer Nina Jacobson — for a rollicking conversation about the new movie. Among the subjects? Everything from the decision to “man up” Peeta’s character for the movie to Lawrence’s spectacular fall in Katniss’ wedding dress while the cameras were rolling.
The filmmakers also talk about creating new scenes for Plutarch Heavensbee (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman), and actress Jena Malone talks about the thrill of playing the ax-wielding tribute Johanna Mason. Despite the easy camaraderie of the crew, everyone took seriously their mission to respect the pained heart of author Suzanne Collins’ sequel.
The “Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence is currently in Atlanta, GA. filming the franchise’s next installment “Mockingjay Part 1”. She recently made headlines for a rumored cameo in the upcoming flick “Dumb & Dumber To”.
"Dumb and Dumber To" is also currently filming in Atlanta, and the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay" cast went to their set for a visit, sources told The Hollywood Reporter.
Lawrence was also recently cast as Cathy Ames, "the cold and cruel mother of the boys and estranged wife of the farmer,” in the new film adaptation of John Steinbeck's East of Eden, Deadline reports.
