The Hôtel Majestic Barrière in Cannes is ready for Mockingjay! The front of the hotel is decked out with a beautiful Mockingjay statue similar to the set-up they had last year at the film festival. A Mockingjay poster was spotted hanging on the side of the hotel by FiftyShadesEN on twitter. They kindly shared photos of the poster which includes the text, "Le feu flambe d'autant plus vivement dans l'obscurité” that translates roughly to "Fire burns brighter in the darkness," the Mockingjay tagline that's been rumored for a few weeks.

Lionsgate also revealed to The Hollywood Reporter today that they have another huge Hunger Games party planned for the festival this year:

Days before leaving for Cannes, Lionsgate’s co-chairmen Patrick Wachsberger and Rob Friedman invited THR.com to Lionsgate’s Santa Monica headquarters to reveal their festival plans — including a glamorous Hunger Games party

For the second year in a row, you are planning to host a Hunger Games bash at Cannes. Why incur the big expense when Mockingjay: Part 1 isn’t actually playing at the festival?

Lionsgate’s Rob FRIEDMAN: The good news is, everyone is in Europe already. We’re a worldwide company, and it’s a big opportunity for our international distributors to actually hear what the worldwide plans are for the film, which opens in November. Cannes is the best publicity opportunity from an international penetration perspective.

Eugenie Bondurant is Tigris in 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2'

It's official! Eugenie Bondurant has been cast as Tigris in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. In the book, Tigris was once a reknown stylist in the Hunger Games and is now a shopkeeper selling fur-lined clothes in a small shop in the Capitol. Her appearance has been surgically altered to resemble a feline. The response to Eugenie's casting has been overwhelmingly postitive and we can't wait to see how they bring this character to life in the film.

It's Official! Michelle Forbes is Jackson in 'Mockingjay Part 2'

Lionsgate announced today that Michelle Forbes has been cast as Lt. Jackson in Mockingjay Part 2. This casting has been rumored for a few weeks so it's good to get the confirmation.

Forbes has done tons of tv work. You may recognize her from True Blood, The Killing, Chicago Fire and Orphan Black among others.

For those a little rusty on their Mockingjay (time to re-read!) Jackson is a soldier from District 13 and Boggs' second in command. She's a member of Star Squad who is an ace sharpshooter and she's also the one who comes up with the "real or not real" game to help Peeta.
