#PanemOctober is back.......and so are the Gamemakers.

After all that happened with the Panem October stuff, it has finally returned. Just before their unfortunate absence DWTC did an exclusive article with the Gamemakers. Now that their back, they've had a few more new things to say:

DWTC: Many of the Districts have created tumblr pages and facebook groups, and seem to be bent on Rebellion. Are you monitoring these pages?
HG: The Capitol does have record of popular groups and is monitoring them very closely. A Rebellion does not seem likely, but that doesn’t stop us from watching over people like Tumblr’s FYD12 and The Capitol is Watching. They are aware of our monitoring systems, so we do not deny doing so.

 OOOOOO we're shaking in our boots, gamemakers. Bring it on! 

Steven Soderbergh Directing Second Unit on The Hunger Games

While this certainly comes a bit of a surprise, especially given that Soderbergh isn’t exactly sitting around doing nothing (he plans to shoot Magic Mike, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Liberace before the end of next year), the team-up isn’t necessarily as out of left field as one might think: Soderbergh and Ross have been good friends for a number of years, with Soderbergh producing Ross’ Pleasantville and Ross frequently giving feedback on Soderbergh’s scripts.

Frankly, I'm ecstatic, both that they're doing second unit work (there is very little time to get everything done without a second crew filming) and that a director of such high caliber is doing it. Check out his IMDb page.

Universal Republic to Release T Bone Burnett's 'Hunger Games' Soundtrack


"In addition to their instrumental work, Universal Republic will release collections of the songs featured in the film and songs directly influenced by the themes -- freedom, rebellion, survival, family -- and subject matter of the film.

Burnett, billed as executive music producer, will oversee all production and will produce many of the individual tracks being recorded by new and established artists. Music for the film is still in the planning stages and releases are expected to coincide with the film's March 23 theatrical release. The film and companion music will feature original recordings, but decision has been made on how many sets will be released."
