Due to the events of the previous novel, a rebellion against the ruling Capitol has begun, and Katniss and fellow tribute Peeta are forced to return to the arena in a special edition of the The Hunger Games.
Man, there are times when Lionsgate’s marketing department literally blows my mind with how incredible they are. Such the case with this remarkable The Hunger Games: Catching Fire one-sheet and banner, depicting Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) standing tall and strong on a cliff. I love the classic “Mona Lisa”-esque painting look it was given, too. The poster was accompanied by the quote: “The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand.”
The Francis Lawrence-directed sequel, in theaters November 22, “continues the story of Katniss Everdeen and the fictional, futuristic nation of Panem. Due to the events of the previous novel, a rebellion against the ruling Capitol has begun, and Katniss and fellow tribute Peeta are forced to return to the arena in a special edition of the The Hunger Games.”

Lionsgate has officially premiered the teaser trailer for Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, in theaters November 22.
While most of you gents are critical of our coverage, I stand behind the franchise as worthy of Bloody Disgusting, even if it isn’t as violent as Battle Royale. And let’s be frank, the first movie was pretty good…

Lionsgate/Summit has released a fifth character poster for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which we’ve been stacking up as to not annoy you guys on a daily basis.
The series includes looks at Jennifer Lawrence all dressed up as Katniss Everdeen, Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, and Lenny Kravitz as Cinna.
In theaters November 22, “The sequel begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.” READ MORE
Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will again feature the great Elizabeth Banks in her role as Effie Trinkett. I like Banks a lot, so I’m hoping she has more to do this time. Update: We’ve added a poster of Stanley Tucci as the host of the games, Caesar. Apparently they’re starting with the purple-haired characters first.

EW has landed three new looks inside Lionsgate’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, directed by Francis Lawrence for release on November 22, 2013.
With the images accompanied a cover story in which Lawrence revealed that Bonnie, Twill, and Darius will not make it into the sequel. On how the movie will now introduce District 13, Lawrence would only say that “it was fun figuring out new ways around things and new ways of doing things.”
“It’s as agonizing for us to lose things from the book as it is for a fan,” says producer Nina Jacobson. “I want every single thing in there. But you know what? If you have to give up something in order to give more time to Katniss and Gale or to Effie as she starts to feel a conscience, you make the sacrifices in order to serve the characters and themes that are more essential.” READ MORE

The CW’s “Sleepy Hollow” drama has landed at Warner Bros TV, reports Deadline. The CW was in talks for the pitch, a contemporary take on Washington Irving’s short story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” when another “Sleepy Hollow” drama project hit the marketplace, one co-written by Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci and directed by Len Wiseman. The development led to the CW pushing the pause button in the negotiations to reaccess the situation.
