"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" fans are eager to see the next installment in the franchise, and on the heels of the movie release, Lionsgate has confirmed the film will premiere on Nov. 11 in London.
Jennifer Lawrence returns as Katniss Everdeen in the highly anticpated sequel, along with Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark and Liam Hensworth as Gale Hawthrone. Lawrence recently spoke to Vogue about her thoughts of her "Hunger Games" character, giving her a new perspective about her life:
"When Winter's Bone was getting nominated," says Lawrence, "I had only done indies, and suddenly I was introduced to this brand-new world where I didn't feel like myself. I was in these weird gowns and listening to people talk about things I didn't understand. And I remember reading that in the book and being like, Oh, my God, I know exactly what this feels like.
I don't know what it's like to get ready for your death, but I do know what it's like to be almost a puppet. And then when I was making the second film, I had become more acquainted with that world, and I think that's something that Katniss experiences. She is different when she comes back. She does feel more comfortable in the Capitol; she understands the people more, and it's not as eerie and scary and unfamiliar. She kind of knows how to work the system."
Before the official premiere, fans can look forward to the release of Grammy-winning band Coldplay's new single for the film tilted "Atlas" on Aug. 26.
"I have great respect and admiration for Coldplay, and we are thrilled with how well they have connected to the themes and ideas within the film," 'Catching Fire' director Francis Lawrence said in a statement to MTV. "Their unwavering passion and excitement for the project elevated the collaboration even further, and we can't wait to share this music with audiences around the world."
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" is will be released to U.S. theaters on Nov. 22.
