Liam Hemsworth Talks Catching Fire During Press Event in the Philippines

Liam Hemsworth was in the Philippines to promote the clothing line Bench/, and during his press event there, he answered a few questions about The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

 From the transcript:

7. He says that it isn’t an act: Jennifer Lawrence, his "Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" co-star,truly is "amazing." 

“She’s one of the most energetic, fun-loving people I’ve ever met. Working with her on set is just easy because she’s so good and she’s just won all these huge awards so congratulations to her for that. She’s amazing.” 

8. Liam gets “whipped” in "Catching Fire" — literally.“My character [Gale] gets whipped in this one. So I spent a couple of days on my knees getting whipped, which was pretty horrific.” 

9. "Catching Fire" is turning out to be even better than "The Hunger Games."“There’s a whole lot of great stuff in 'Catching Fire.' The characters are developing more; (director) Francis Lawrence had a whole new take on it.”

EW: New Underland Chronicles Covers!

Entertainment Weekly has unveiled the new look for Gregor The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins!

Before The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins not only wrote for TV shows like Clarissa Explains It All and The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, but she also dreamed up another literary world for a slightly younger set of readers with The Underland Chronicles. The five-book fantasy series follows Gregor, a boy who discovers an underground city that’s home to giant spiders, bats, rats, and cockroaches as he finds himself on a search for his missing father. Like The Hunger Games, Gregor’s adventures explore larger themes, like war, biological warfare, and even genocide. If you missed The Underland Chronicles the first time around, you can get a new edition this summer, and EW has the first look at the cover art.

Will you be buying this new box set?

Mockingjay to Start Filming in July?

Ah yes, Russ Bowen. In case you are unfamiliar, Russ is a reporter who sometimes finds out insider info concerning The Hunger Games franchise. Obviously, nothing he tweets is official so treat any of this information with a grain of salt.

Mockingjay shooting in July - If this is true, it means casting will start very soon. However, we are in the middle of the Catching Fire marketing campaign and in the months during apparent shooting, Lionsgate will be wrapped up in the Catching Fire press tour. So many questions, but I guess we will have to be patient and see what Lionsgate's plans truly are.

Catching Fire: 4 more weeks and over budget - I would think it's probable that the production is over budget. They are not doing pickups, they are getting shots that they did not get to last time they filmed in Hawaii. Also, 2 WEEKS IN LA?! That's a dream come true for us since we live in the L.A. area. I'd also like to assume that they would be shooting scenes shot in a sound stage and/or green screen. If this is true, this is exciting news! Can't wait to see what ends up happening with the Catching Fire production schedule.
