EW also sat down with Sam Claflin, the green-eyed, dimpled Brit who won the role of District 4′s charming and enigmatic golden boy Finnick Odair, for his first Hunger Games interview. He described filming the infamous sugar cube scene, in which Finnick teases Katniss while wearing nothing beyond some strategically placed netting, as “the scariest moment of my life. I’m on Twitter and so many people have been like ‘Don’t mess this up, or we will kill you.’”
Okay, just one more tidbit from our Catching Fire cover… for now.
This week, EW goes deep — deep into a Hawaiian jungle, that is, for an exclusive visit to the set of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Oh – and did we mention this is only one of four covers, featuring Katniss, Peeta, Finnick, and Gale?
Wait, guys, we might have just figured out the casting strategy for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
First Jenna Malone was offered the role of Johanna Mason. (Judging by our Tumblr notes, many of you were happy; many of you were not.)
Now Philip Seymour Hoffman gets the role of Plutarch Heavensbee.
We got it — it’s all in the initials. JM. PH. Oh, Lionsgate. We’re on to you now! Does this mean the role of Finnick Odair will go to somebody whose first name starts with F and whose last name starts with O? Which actors fit those criteria?
Ponder these questions while you watch an exclusive clip from The Hunger Games Blu-ray and DVD on EW.com.
“Despite recent speculation in the media, and after difficult but sincere consideration, I have decided not to direct Catching Fire,” Ross said in a statement. “As a writer and a director, I simply don’t have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule.”
Oof: These are the 10 worst Hunger Games-themed products on the market.
Now that we all know how great Catching Fire is, it’s time to start thinking about what’s next for the Hunger Games movies.
Specifically: How in the world do you make a PG-13 film (let alone films) out of Mockingjay?
‘We made some changes to Peeta’s narrative.’ says Lawrence. 'We manned him up a little. And by the way it didn’t take a lot, just little choices to make here and there. The story doesn’t really change, his relationship with Katniss doesn’t change, he’s just a different kind of character.’ For instance, in the book, the Hunger Games kicks off and Peeta is paralyzed when the other all-star tributes dive into the water. 'The option is for either me drowning or sitting there like a cat bating my paw into the water,’ says Josh Hutcherson with a laugh. 'Either way the visual is horrible.’ Easy fix: Let Peeta swim.
Catching Fire director Frances Lawrence explains three ways in which the movie will diverge from the book – while assuring fans that their sacred text will always be honored.
How did we know that you wanted to see six brand-new Catching Fire set pics, including a few peeks at Sam Claflin as Finnick? Don’t ask; we’ve got our ways. In any case, here they are.
