I’m not sure why Lionsgate would use their Instagram account to premiere the following new poster for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, considering it’s a rather ugly little low-res version, but so be it. In addition to this poster, stay tuned as I have some photos for the Hunger Games fans out there that I just snapped here in Cannes… including a brief little video.
But first, the poster… which, I don’t know about you, but I’m getting something of a “Moses on the mountaintop” vibe from it. You?
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). 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 (Donald Sutherland) prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be directed by Francis Lawrence, and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the second in a trilogy that has over 50 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.
