"Hunger Games" fans are counting down the days until the November release of "Catching Fire," but that doesn't mean Lionsgate isn't looking ahead towards the saga's third installment, "Mockingjay." The machine never stops. "Hunger Games" fans have to be fed, so it's only natural that producers have begun planning for the future.
Recent reports claim that the first scenes from the far-off "Hunger Games: Mockingjay" could be shot on the same housing estate in Bristol, England as "Only Fools And Horses," a classic British sitcom from the 80s. According to MTV, The Sun newspaper states that the Ashton Gate estate will serve as an Eastern European style city in the third installment of "The Hunger Games."
"'Hunger Games' producers have earmarked the same estate as a possible location for the main battle scene, as well as a tower block area in south London," a source told the newspaper.
"Mockingjay" will be released in two parts. The first segment will arrive in November 21, 2014, one year after the "Catching Fire" release, while part two will come November 20, 2015. That sounds like a long time to wait, but at least fans now have a better idea of how the final battle will unfold.
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" hit theaters November 22 via Lionsgate. Read the official synopsis below.
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever.
