Film Preview: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

The second film in the franchise which is based on the books by Suzanne Collins, it was announced that the final book will be split into two films to cover all the material (and maximize profits). The first film was a critical and financial success for Lionsgate so there is much anticipation about the second film which will return all the main cast. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth all dyed their hair for the movie once again. Lawrence went back to training to get in shape for the role while the supporting cast undertook training in preparation for the arena scenes.


After winning the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss (Lawrence) and Peeta (Hutcherson) must embark on a victory tour around the districts to showcase hope in their victory. President Snow (Donald Sutherland) is still unhappy with the ending of the games so is determined to make Katniss pay for what she has done as the districts now have a hero to root for. So with the 75th Hunger Games nearly upon them he conjures a plan to rid the problem of Katniss and Peeta.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is released in the UK on 22nd November 2013
