Catching Fire (2013)

[CaRaMBa]

I started this thread because there are already speculations about the second movie (eg. casting) and discussions on the screenplay, etc. Let's discuss the second movie here.

'Hunger Games' Sequel 'Catching Fire': Five Burning Questions

When Will Gary Ross Officially Sign On to Direct?
By all accounts, this question has already been answered behind closed doors in some fancy studio room somewhere but has not been announced to the general public. As of now, Gary Ross is attached to direct "Catching Fire," which, in "Hollywood speak," means he's still trying to work out the details with his agents and the studio. We're pretty optimistic that he'll return, though, because he's offered up some very specific details about his plans for it.

When and Where Will Filming Take Place?
Come on, Lionsgate, you've already announced the release date for "Catching Fire." When will you announce the production start date? Time is ticking! Those of us who've read the book know there are Games afoot but of a completely different nature. Ross told MTV News that he has some specific ideas about how to shoot in/on a tropical location but wouldn't expand upon them beyond teasing the tone of the second film. "It will look and feel slightly different from the first," he said before adding that he can guarantee one thing: "Catching Fire" will not be in 3-D. "I don't think it's appropriate for this film. If we shoot in 3-D, we become the Capitol," he said.

Who Will play Finnick Odair?
Much like the hullabaloo that surrounded the casting of Katniss, Peeta and Gale, fans are very invested in who will play hunky-yet-surprisingly-complex victor Finnick Odair. The list of fan hopefuls is all over the place and includes Armie Hammer, Alex Pettyfer, Garrett Hedlund, Hunter Parrish and YouTube star Joey Graceffa. (This writer would very much like for relatively unknown Benjamin Stone to be in the mix. See his work on "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" for proof.)

Will Kristen Bell's Campaigning Pay Off?
In addition to charming us into total adoration via the release of her slightly embarrassing sloth video, Kristen Bell has not been shy about her love of "The Hunger Games." The admitted superfan has launched her very own campaign of sorts to be cast as kick-*** District 7 champ Johanna Mason. Only time will tell to see if she gets her shot. We think she at least deserves an audition, don't you?

Which Scene Will Be the Most Swoon-Worthy?
The greater messages in "The Hunger Games" are about survival and independence and freedom. However, we can't help it if there are also several swoon-worthy scenes that we can't wait to see played out onscreen between Katniss and Peeta and Gale. Speaking to "Catching Fire," what will make us melt in our seats most? That "beach scene" between Katniss and Peeta or Katniss and Gale's emotional exchange after he's severely beaten and recovering at her mother's house?

All my favorite parts are related to the [spoiler start]Quarter Quell.[spoiler end]

1. the reaping in each district
2. the parade
3. the question and answer portion
4. every training they had
5. and the actual game itself

sana magaling na umarte rin 'yung mapili sa roles nila finnick and johanna. pwede bang si jlaw na lang ulit?

[CaRaMBa]

Hindi pa ba confirmed si Gary Ross? My officemates told me a while ago that Suzanne Collins and maybe Gary Ross won't write the screenplay anymore - if that's true then I'm a bit worried. I thought they did a great job for the first movie...

[Smurfs1992]

kinda excited kung sino ang gaganap na Finnick and Johanna

[sheppard01]

He's still my Finnick.

Taylor Kitsch

[booksale]

how about Takashi Miike?

[i_am_wat_i_am]

panu kaya nila gagawin tong CF?
yung highlight ng movie yung ending tapos yung twist/revelation eh sa start ng mockingjay. kung puputulin at susundin nila ang libro, grabeng pambibitin naman gagawin nila.

Best character for Finnick for me is ALEX PETTYFER!!! Tall, extremely handsome, bronzed-color hair and muscular.

OK siguro si kristen bell maging J.Mason. She can play villain/heroine. Pero ang naiimagine ko sa histura ni J.Mason yung mala aeon flux na kick-***! hehe

The arena scenes with Haymitch was awesome. Looking forward to that scene. I saw something at YouTube--the fight scene reminds me of a scene from Saving Private Ryan. In that scene someone's throat was shot so the dude was slowly dying and choking to death while two others fight to the death with a knife, then they roll over the dying guy during the fight.

Wanna see Johanna Mason nude and rubbing her breasts with oil.

I really hope they'll have the same director and writers. Worried about what I've heard re: writers.

Brian Hallisay or Michael Cassidy for Finnick!

[pexer26]

I don't think that Gary Ross will bail out in this movie. I think hawak na niya to throughout the series. I've read somewhere that he already picked a Finnick in his mind.

how about I punch your Battle Royale Face?

simon beaufoy is writing the screenplay and he is an Oscar award winner for his works.
plus... Susan is still being consulted all throughout.
isa pa si Nina Jacobson ang producer at owner ng rights so hindi tayo dapat mag worry kasi masyado siyang protective sa THG series.

[Corrrect!]

Is this going to be tagged with "The Hunger Games" brand? Or will it be just called "Catching Fire"?

[Kopite]

how about I punch your Battle Royale Face?

hahahaha!
bakit kasi kailangan pa ipilit yung Battle Royale?

[CaRaMBa]

I'm guessing they will still attach "The Hunger Games" to it somehow. That's the formula for franchises now, it seems.
