<p>Printed in muted oranges and blues, the advert shows <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/Jennifer-Lawrence" target="_blank"><strong>Jennifer Lawrence</strong></a>&#8216;s Katniss Everdeen clutching onto her weapon of choice on top of a mountain as a mockingjay forms in the clouds behind. (It looks pretty hipster, which is probably why Lionsgate released it on the movie&#8217;s <a href="http://instagram.com/p/ZTGBiyCtoM/" target="_blank">official Instagram</a> this week.)</p>
<p>&#8220;The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand,” the tagline &#8212; taken from a page in the <strong>Suzanne Collins</strong> novel &#8212; reads.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn02.cdnwp.celebuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/15/catching-fire-poster-2.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>The new poster follows the characters <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-03-06/choose-your-favorite-catching-fire-character-portrait/" target="_blank">Capitol Portraits</a> that were released in March.</p>
<p>Out Nov. 22, <em>The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</em> will also see the return of <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/josh-hutcherson" target="_blank"><strong>Josh Hutcherson</strong></a>, <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/liam-hemsworth" target="_blank"><strong>Liam Hemsworth</strong></a>, <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/woody-harrelson" target="_blank"><strong>Woody Harrelson</strong></a> and <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/elizabeth-banks" target="_blank"><strong>Elizabeth Banks</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The forthcoming <strong>Francis Lawrence</strong>-helmed sequel to the box office record-setting blockbuster <em>The Hunger Games </em>will show Katniss (Lawrence) and fellow District 12 winner, Peeta Mellark (Hutcherson), travel through Panem on their victory tour, trying to carry on their star-crossed lovers storyline under the suspicions of President Snow (<strong>Donald Sutherland</strong>).</p>
<p>Previously, the highly anticipated movie was teased out <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-02-22/look-katniss-and-peeta-are-strike-a-victory-pose/" target="_blank">in a victory tour poster</a> before the <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-04-15/liam-hemsworth-teases-a-first-look-at-the-hunger-games-catching-fire/" target="_blank">official trailer was unveiled</a> at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.</p>

<p>In the newest first-look still from the hotly-anticipated <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-01-14/catching-fire-premieres-new-jennifer-lawrence-josh-hutcherson-pics-photos/" target="_blank"><em>The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</em></a>, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Jennifer-Lawrence" target="_blank"><strong>Jennifer Lawrence</strong></a>&#8216;s heroine returns home to embrace her younger sister, Primrose Everdeen (<strong>Willow Shields</strong>), after making good on her promise to survive ever-deadly gladiatorial Hunger Games.</p>
<p>The forthcoming <strong>Francis Lawrence</strong>-helmed sequel to the box office record-setting blockbuster <em>Hunger Games</em> — a Lionsgate production based on the <strong>Suzanne Collins</strong> best-selling young adult book trilogy — will show Katniss and fellow District 12 winner, Peeta Mellark (<a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Josh-Hutcherson" target="_blank" data-ls-seen="1"><strong>Josh Hutcherson</strong></a>), travel through Panem on their victory tour, trying to carry on their star-crossed lovers storyline under the suspicions of President Snow (<strong>Donald Sutherland</strong>).</p>
<p><span id="more-14818592"></span>But unfortunately for little sister Prim, Katniss isn&#8217;t on safe and sound at home for long. The District 12 victors are soon called back into the bloody arena by Snow, where they will compete amongst fellow former Hunger Game champions in a bid to survive the 75th annual gladiatorial games, known as the Quarter Quell.</p>
<p>Though the film is now in post-production, fans still have many months to wait for <em>Catching Fire</em>: the film will hit theaters Nov. 22, 2013. But in the meantime, Lionsgate is keeping fanatics biting at the bit with its perfectly-planned promotional campaign, which has already treated Hunger Games groupies to <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-03-08/feast-your-eyes-on-finnick/" target="_blank">character portraits</a>, <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-02-22/look-katniss-and-peeta-are-strike-a-victory-pose/" target="_blank">posters</a>, and <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-01-14/catching-fire-premieres-new-jennifer-lawrence-josh-hutcherson-pics-photos/" target="_blank">on-set stills</a>.</p>
<p>And come Sunday, the Girl on Fire will return to the screen. The first-ever teaser trailer for <em>Catching Fire</em> will debut at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, a <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-04-03/catching-fire-first-look-katniss-everdeen-arrives-home-as-victor/" target="_blank">10-second sneak peek</a> of which lit up the web just over a week ago. So tune into the awards show Sunday at 9 p.m. ET for a glimpse of Katniss and Peeta stepping out before the world of Panem as winners.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a little GIF, courtesy of <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1705396/hunger-games-catching-fire-trailer-premiere-gif.jhtml" target="_blank">MTV</a>, to hold you over till then:</p>

<p>Here we can see Katniss Everdeen and her fellow victor Peeta (<strong>Josh Hutcherson</strong>) making a key speech during their victory tour around the Districts, as well as a quick shot of Lawrence on-set with her no-relation director, <strong>Francis Lawrence</strong> (<em>Constantine, I Am Legend</em>).</p>
<p><span id="more-14001652"></span></p>
<p>While there’s decided lack of bows-and-arrows and colorful costumes – except for Tron hanging out in the back there – the photos are still likely to set <em>Hunger Games</em> fans aflutter until the first teaser footage drops later this year.</p>
<p>For now, folks, just grab your Mockingjay pins and check out our latest gallery of images from <em>Hunger Games: Catching Fire.</em></p>
<p><strong>Also, make sure to watch the trailer for <em>Silver Linings Playbook</em>, the film for which she won the Golden Globe for Best Actress, and received an Oscar nomination in the same category.</strong></p>

In addition to revealing the new pics, producer <strong>Nina Jacobson </strong>revealed why fan-favorite characters Bonnie, Twill, and Darius will not appear in the sequel.</p>
<p>“I want every single thing in there,” Jacobson said. “But… 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.”<em> Catching Fire</em> arrives in theaters November 22. [<a href="http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/01/10/hunger-games-catching-fire-three-missing-characters/">EW</a>]</p>
<p>Legendary Pictures’ <em>Godzilla</em> recently drafted <strong>Frank Darabont</strong>for a rewrite, and now the film is searching for a star.</p>
<p><span id="more-13949342"></span></p>
<p><em>Kick-Ass</em> star <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/aaron-taylor-johnson/">Aaron Taylor-Johnson</a> </strong>has reportedly been offered the leading role in the film, and that the actor will most likely sign-on once Darabont completes his rewrite. Johnson can currently be seen in the Oscar-nominated drama <em>Anna </em><em>Karenina</em>. [<a href="https://twitter.com/TheInSneider/status/289452901842169856">Variety</a>]</p>
<p><em>Bridesmaids</em>’ director <strong>Paul Feig</strong> recently decided to stay rooted in the business of making more R-rated comedies. In light of the recent successes of <em>Ted</em> and <em>The Hangover</em> series, 20<sup>th</sup> Century Fox has signed the director to a first-look deal, allowing Feig to write and direct adult-themed comedies under his Feigco banner. Feig recently made buddy cop comedy <em>The Heat</em> for Fox, which is set for release April 5. [<a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/fox-makes-deal-with-bridesmaids-helmer-paul-feig-to-generate-r-rated-comedies/">Deadline</a>]</p>
<p>The Norwegian helmers behind Oscar-nominated Best Foreign Film <em>Kon-Tiki</em> have signed on to direct their first-ever major studio project. <strong>Joachim Rønning</strong> and <strong>Espen Sandberg </strong>will helm <em>Spectral</em> for Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. The story details are (per usual) being kept underwraps, but word ‘round the campfire is that the film is in the vein of <em>Black Hawk Down</em> but with a supernatural twist. [<a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/oscar-nominated-kon-tiki-helmers-make-big-legendary-deal-for-spectral/#more-401506">Deadline</a>]</p>
<p>Reports of <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/steven-spielberg/">Steven Spielberg</a></strong>’s next project being dead are slightly exaggerated. In a recent interview following his Oscar nomination for Best Director, The Beard himself said that his new sci-fi entry, <em>Robopocalypse</em>, is still going to happen – just latter than planned. And with a new story. “We found that the film was costing a lot of money and I found a better way to tell the story more economically but also much more personally.” Spielberg told Entertainment Weekly. “I’m starting on a new script and we’ll have this movie back on its feet soon.” Spielberg hopes to have the new story completed in six to eight months. [<a href="http://collider.com/shield-tv-series-paul-lee/223132/">EW</a>]</p>

<p>Production is officially underway for the <em>Hunger Games: Catching Fire</em>, the highly-anticipated sequel to the box-office hit, filming in and around the metro Atlanta area.</p>
<p>After sharing <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2012-09-13/catching-fire-josh-hutcherson-and-sam-claflin-on-the-set-of-the-hunger-games-sequel-exclusive-gallery/" target="_blank">snaps</a> of <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/josh-hutcherson" target="_blank">Josh Hutcherson</a></strong> (Peeta Mellark) and <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/sam-claflin" target="_blank">Sam Claflin</a></strong> (Finnick Odair) suited up at tributes on Thursday, <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com" target="_blank">Celebuzz</a></strong> has <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/photos/the-hunger-games-catching-fire-exclusive-first-photos-jennifer-lawrence-back-as-katniss/" target="_blank">the exclusive first look</a> at <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/jennifer-lawrence" target="_blank">Jennifer Lawrence</a></strong> reprising her role as <em>Hunger Games</em> heroine Katniss Everdeen.</p>
<p><em>So is the Games victor back to bloodshed and brutality in the arena?</em></p>
<p><span id="more-11971442"></span>Not quite yet. Hiding under an umbrella and snug-fitted hooded sweatshirt, Lawrence was spotted darting between her trailer and the <em>Catching Fire</em> set.</p>
<p>The Francis Lawrence-helmed <em>Hunger Games</em> sequel, a Lionsgate production based on the second book in the <strong>Suzanne Collins</strong> trilogy, sees Katniss and Peeta returning home victorious after winning the gladiatorial games, only to be called back into action for the 75th Hunger Games — better known as the Quarter Quell — which pits past champions against one another.</p>
<p>After the film wraps in Atlanta, the next installment of the fan-favorite franchise will move locations to Hawaii, shooting on island beaches and jungles before completing production in late December.</p>
<p>In the weeks leading up to filming, Catching Fire castings were flying in feverishly. In terms of Quarter Quell competitors, <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/jena-malone" target="_blank">Jena Malone</a></strong> will play snide District 3 tribute Johanna Mason while Claflin will bring to life dashing District 4 tribute Finnick Odair.</p>
<p>They will face off in the arena against the other recently-tapped tributes: <em>Smallville</em> actor <strong><strong>Alan Ritchson</strong> </strong>was named as Gloss and<strong> Stephanie Leigh</strong> as Cashmere, the two tributes from District 1. <strong>Maria Howell </strong>and <strong>E. Roger Mitchell</strong> will star as District 11 tributes Seeder and Chaff, respectively. And for District 2, <strong>Bruno Gunn</strong> will star as muscle man Brutus and <strong>Meta Golding</strong> will play fierce golden-fanged Enobaria.</p>
<p>The newcomers — which also includes Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Jeffrey Wright — join returning principals <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/liam-hemsworth" target="_blank"><strong>Liam Hemsworth</strong></a> (Gale Hawthorne), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Elizabeth-Banks" target="_blank"><strong>Elizabeth Banks</strong></a> (Effie Trinket), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Woody-Harrelson" target="_blank"><strong>Woody Harrelson</strong></a> (Haymitch Abernathy), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Lenny-Kravtiz" target="_blank"><strong>Lenny Kravtiz</strong></a> (Cinna), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Stanley-Tucci" target="_blank"><strong>Stanley Tucci</strong></a> (Caesar Flickerman), along with Lawrence and Hutcherson.</p>
<p><em>The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</em> is set to hit  theaters November 22, 2013.</p>

<p><a href="http://celebuzz.com"><strong>Celebuzz</strong></a> has the first exclusive photos of the film’s stars in and out of costume in between scene on the <em>Hunger Games</em> sequel.</p>
<p>Although co-star <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/Jennifer-Lawrence">Jennifer Lawrence</a></strong> was nowhere to be seen, director <strong>Francis Lawrence</strong>, who took over helming duties from <em>The Hunger Games</em> writer-director <strong>Gary Ross</strong>, already has at least two of her male counterparts suiting up for action.</p>
<p><em>Which Hunger Games star seems to be in better shape?</em></p>
<p><span id="more-11959771"></span></p>
<p>Judging by his ripped physique, newcomer to the series Claflin (<em>The Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides</em>) is more than ready to compete. The actor didn’t hesitate to leave his short off while making his way to the set.</p>
<p>But even at a diminutive 5’7”, Hutcherson looked ready to battle as he put on his skintight tribute costume.</p>
<p><strong>Launch the gallery &#8212; above &#8212; of more exclusive photos from the <em>Hunger Games: Catching Fire</em> set.</strong></p>
<p><em>The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</em> is set for release on November 22, 2013. Watch this video which explores the world of the tributes:</p>

<p>In the second installment of the fan-favorite franchise, the Tony- and Golden Globe-winning actor will play the former Hunger Games victor from District 3 who returns to combat during the 75th Hunger Games, also known as the Quarter Quell, which pits past champions against one another. Beetee becomes known as Volts for his electronic prowess.</p>
<p>Wright is an acclaimed actor known for his performances in <em>Syriana</em>, <em>Casino Royale</em>, <em>Shaft</em> and <em>Source Code</em>. Next up, the veteran thespian hits the silver screen in <em>Broken City</em> opposite <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/mark-wahlberg" target="_blank"><strong>Mark Wahlberg</strong></a> and <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/russell-crowe" target="_blank"><strong>Russell Crowe</strong></a>.</p>

Roger Mitchell</strong> will star as District 11 tributes Seeder and Chaff, respectively. And for District 2, <strong>Bruno Gunn</strong> will star as muscle man Brutus and <strong>Meta Golding</strong> will play fierce golden-fanged Enobaria.</p>
<p>The newcomers join returning principals <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Jennifer-Lawrence" target="_blank"><strong>Jennifer Lawrence</strong></a> (Katniss Everdeen), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Josh-Hutcherson" target="_blank"><strong>Josh Hutcherson</strong></a> (Peeta Mellark), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/liam-hemsworth" target="_blank"><strong>Liam Hemsworth</strong></a> (Gale Hawthorne), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Elizabeth-Banks" target="_blank"><strong>Elizabeth Banks</strong></a> (Effie Trinket), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Woody-Harrelson" target="_blank"><strong>Woody Harrelson</strong></a> (Haymitch Abernathy), <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Lenny-Kravtiz" target="_blank"><strong>Lenny Kravtiz</strong></a> (Cinna) and <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Stanley-Tucci" target="_blank"><strong>Stanley Tucci</strong></a> (Caesar Flickerman).</p>
<p>The Francis Lawrence-helmed <em>Hunger Games</em> sequel, a Lionsgate production based on the second book in the <strong>Suzanne Collins</strong> trilogy, is expected to start shooting this month and is due in theaters November 22, 2013.</p>

<p>After weeks of speculation, Lionsgate has officially announced that <strong>Sam Claflin</strong> is set to star as Finnick Odair in <em>The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</em>.</p>
<p>The ever charismatic and clever District 4 tribute teams up with Katniss Everdeen (<a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Jennifer-Lawrence"><strong>Jennifer Lawrence</strong></a>) and Peeta Mellark (<a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/Josh-Hutcherson" target="_blank"><strong>Josh Hutcherson</strong></a>), among others, in a bid to survive the 75th Annual Hunger Games, or Quarter Quell.</p>
<p>Claflin previously hit the big screen in <em>Snow White and the Huntsman</em> and <em>Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides</em><em></em>.</p>
<p><em>With filming of the blockbuster sequel scheduled to start in September, the &#8216;Catching Fire&#8217; cast has been filling up feverishly over the past few weeks</em>.</p>
<p><span id="more-11680461"></span>Last week, <strong>Stephanie Leigh</strong> was tapped as District 1 tribute Cashmere, and <strong>Maria Howell </strong>was cast as Seeder, a District 11 victor.</p>
<p>The week prior, four cast slots were filled.<strong> E.

<p>The Atlanta-based actor, 41, has appeared in films like <em>S.W.A.T.</em>, <em>Battle: Los Angeles</em> and <em>The Crazies</em>.</p>
<p><em>With filming of the sequel set to kick off in September, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire casting announcements have been flying in feverishly</em>.</p>

<p>And earlier this week, District 2 career tributes were tapped. <strong>Bruno Gunn</strong> will star as muscle man Brutus, a former victor who returns to the arena; and <strong>Meta Golding</strong> will play fierce golden-fanged Enobaria, known for the brutal way she came to win the Hunger Games.</p>
