“The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire” stars Academy Award® winner Jennifer Lawrence
alongside Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks,
Lenny Kravitz, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeffrey Wright, Sam Claflin, Jena
Malone, with Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland. The film is directed by
Francis Lawrence, from a screenplay by Simon Beaufoy and Michael deBruyn, based
upon the novel “Catching Fire” by Suzanne Collins and produced by Nina Jacobson
and Jon Kilik.
“The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire” begins as Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has
returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow
tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson).
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. The novel on
which the film is based is the second in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins
that has over 50 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.
The
first installment of “The Hunger Games” was the 14th highest-grossing North
American release of all time grossing nearly $700 million at the worldwide box
office.
The
first Hunger Games partnership between Republic Records and Lionsgate yielded
the Grammy Award-winning, chart-dominating soundtrack The Hunger Games: Songs
From District 12 And Beyond executive produced by T Bone Burnett. The album hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 on
its release with sales over 175,000, making it the first soundtrack to top the
chart since November 2009. It was the
best-selling soundtrack of 2012, the fastest selling soundtrack ever at iTunes,
and was certified gold by the RIAA shortly after its release. The album earned
a Golden Globe nomination and three Grammy nominations, and its first single,
Taylor Swift’s “Safe & Sound” featuring The Civil Wars, won the 2013 Grammy
Award for “Best Song Written for Visual Media”.
