Surprise! Another NEW 'Catching Fire' TV Spot!

What an excellent surprise! Another new Catching Fire TV spot showed up tonight via our friends strawberrycupcakeprincess on tumblr and Miguel on twitter and facebook. None of us were expecting this spot, but we were certainly happy to see the brand new footage!

The moments that seem to be completely killing everyone are when Effie says, ""History was made here!" and when Cinna says, "I'm still betting on you, Girl On Fire."

AMC Theaters posted an adorable "Anatomy of Panem" infographic on their site yesterday, with info on each District and it's Victors. They'd really just like you to buy Catching Fire tickets on their site, but it's an awfully cuuuute way of promting the movie. Check it out full size (huge) by clicking the image.

Catching Fire Soundtrack Adds Regional Artist Tracks To Local Versions

According to a new report in Variety, Lionsgate and Republic Records have added tracks from Brazilian rockers CPM22, Berlin-based ABBY and Spanish alternative band Lori Meyers to local versions of soundtrack album for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

The soundtrack featuring ABBY’s song “Again” will be available Nov. 15 in Germany and Austria. The album featuring Lori Meyers’ song “Hombre a Tierra” will be available Nov. 18 in Spain, Central America and South America and the version featuring CPM22, with the track “13,” will be available in Brazil only on Nov. 18.

Each song will also play during the end credits of the film when it comes to theatres in their respective regions.

“Beginning with the worldwide campaign kickoff of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire in Cannes this past May, we made a promise to work closely with our international partners in order to create a truly global event for this release,” said Patrick Wachsberger, co-chairman of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. “Adding these highly successful artists, who are each beloved in their local territories, is yet another big step toward achieving that goal.”

As a reminder, the soundtrack will be available in stores and through all digital retailers starting on Nov. 19 in the U.S., three days before the film opens worldwide.

Julianne Moore On Mockingjay - "I'm Delighted To Be Doing It"

Julianne Moore by Dan MacMedan/USA Today

Julianne Moore is busy promoting he new movie, Carrie and  - lucky for us - that provides reporters with lots of opportunities to ask her questions about the Mockingjay films. Moore spoke with USA Today about taking on the role of Coin and how impressed she was with The Hunger Games books.

From USA Today:

Next, she's headed to the much-watched set of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay to take on the popular franchise's steely rebellion leader, President Alma Coin.

Moore says she was drawn to the part after reading the dystopian series. "My son read them when they first came out ... and then my daughter a few years ago started reading The Hunger Games. We were on vacation and I didn't bring a book to read, and she went and caught up with her brother to play ping-pong. I picked up her book and read it that afternoon, and then downloaded the other two on my iPad and tore through them."

Moore praises author Suzanne Collins' deft navigation of strong political themes. "They're books about war but with adolescent overtones," she says. "It's about, what is totalitarianism, what is revolution? How do people compromise, how do we repeat our mistakes? It's heartbreaking. I was really impressed by the books, so I'm delighted to be doing it."

The actress has completed makeup tests to play the silver-haired Coin and is heading to the Georgia set to begin filming soon. She says the Mockingjay team is trying to give fans the Coin they've imagined from the text. "I think everybody tries very hard to honor the book because there's so many people who have invested themselves in it," she says. Mockingjay, the Hunger Games trilogy's final book, will be split into two separate movies.
