Fans have proven their unflinching love of "The Hunger Games." Ever since Lionsgate revealed its secret marketing campaign, fans have ravaged the twittersphere in hopes of unveiling the next exclusive "Catching Fire" photos. We first saw Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and her sister Prim (Willow Shileds) expressing their sisterly love in the first photo, and yesterday's featured Katniss' fierce gaze and tragic blue eyes. Despite the photos' beauty, this time fans will be please to see someone other than Lawrence grace the Hunger Games Explorer page.
The third photo features Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth) proving his bravery as he's aprehended without a glint of fear in his eyes. The photo shows the peacekeepers as they haul Gale to slavery, proving that "Catching Fire" will bring the heat. We can't wait.
In other "Hunger Games" news, a recent casting call seeks extras for some reshoots this weekend in Atlanta. They're looking for men and women ages 18 to 35 of all ethnicities who are available Saturday for the shoot. If interested, email three pictures of yourself along with height, weight, age and phone number to IdiomReshootsATL@gmail.com and add your age, gender and ethnicity in the subject line.
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" trailer will air during this Sunday's MTV Movie Awards on April 14, but in the meantime, fans are drooling over the new "Catching Fire" photos. As part of Lionsgate's clever viral market campaign, they've now allowed fans to unlock new, never-before-seen images from the upcoming film by hashtagging #HungerGamesExplorer on Twitter. And fans are going crazy, begging fellow-fanatics to hashtag as much as possible in hopes to catch a glimpse of the next photo as soon as possible.
The Hunger Games Explorer website was made official last week when MTV made its initial announcement regarding the trailer debut. In order to promote its launch, the website offered fans a 10-second sneak peek into what they can expect from the trailer. Although it's only a brief clip of a short movie trailer, it's still enough to get fans' hearts pumping in anticipation of the film's November 22 release. Once the trailer airs, it will be made available on the Hunger Games Explorer website in its entirety.
Currently, the website displays three remaining locked images, with the next photo slowly coming into focus, pixel by pixel, as fans use the hashtag #HungerGamesExplorer. It's genius. What better way to get people promoting their product?
The official message on Hunger Games Explorer tells fans to "Tweet #HungerGamesExplorer now to unlock photos and see Catching Fire come to life."
So for those of you who are dying for more "Hunger Games" action, jump on twitter and start tweeting. For those who remain patiently waiting for the trailer debut this Sunday, help out your fellow-fans by posting the hashtag. You don't have to look at the photo once it's unlocked. There are only two locked photos remaining with two days until the MTV Movie Awards. You do the math. Let's get to hashtagging.
