While fans countdown the dwindling days until the “Hunger Games: Catching Fire” premiere, true diehards are already looking ahead to the future. They’re well aware that there’s plenty more on the “Hunger Games” plate. The monster series will sport two remaining installments, “Mockingjay Part 1” and “Mockingjay Part 2,” which are projected to debut in November 2014 and November 15, dubbing the eleventh month of the year the official month of “The Hunger Games.”
While “Catching Fire” may be hogging all the attention, production on the final two movies has already begun. Location scouting, principal photography and additional casting is well underway, and naturally, details are already trickling down into the hand of fans worldwide.
On August 26, Lionsgate announced that Stef Dawson will join the cast for both “Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2” as Annie Cresta, Finnick’s (Sam Claflin) adorable crush. The Australian actress has worked on several television shows and independent films, including 2011’s “Wrath.”
“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Parts 1 & 2” make up the third and fourth installments of Katniss Everdeen’s (Jennifer Lawrence) journey as she leads the districts of Panem in a rebellion against the unjust and corrupt Capitol. As battles rage and the war persists, pushing the districts to the brink of disaster, Katniss must choose wisely who she can trust and what needs to be done. After all, her family is in danger.
"The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," which hits theaters November 22, finds Katniss as she returns 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.
