'Mockingjay Part 2' Reshoots Happening in Atlanta June 6,7,8

Catrett Locke Casting, the company that cast all the extras for The Hunger Games films in Atlanta, have posted an extras casting call for "Untitled Trilogy" (the code title they've used for The Hunger Games films) reshoots that are happening on June 6, 7, 8 in Georgia. 

Could they be filming the epilogue at this shoot? Who knows! It's obviously all speculation right now, but we do know that they still have that epilogue scene to shoot for MJ2, according to Francis Lawrence and Nina Jacobson. This could simply be reshoots for other scenes.

It's interesting that they're asking for 6-9 month old babies  - a little young for the book-version toast babies. Could this be an epilogue montage of some sort? A brunette female double 35+ and a blonde male double. But 46" waist? That's a larger guy - not Peeta. Bald guy for Boggs and blonde guy for... chubby Haymitch?  We'll keep you posted if we hear anything new! 

Thanks to QuarterQuell.org for spotting this news first! 

Happy Birthday, Katniss Everdeen!

Do we celebrate the birthdays of fictional characters here at PanemPropaganda? You better believe it! Happy Birthday to Katniss Everdeen, our Girl on Fire! 

How do we know that May 8th is Katniss' birthday, you ask? Suzanne Collins told us:

I kept telling myself if I could only hold out until May, just May 8th, I would turn twelve and be able to sign up for the tesserae and get that precious grain and oil to feed us.

- The Hunger Games, Chapter 2

On May 8th, I went to the Juctice Building, signed up for my tesserae, and pulled home my first batch of grain and oil in Prim's toy wagon. 

 - The Hunger Games, Chapter 4

So go eat some lamb stew, pick a dandelion in the Spring, be a rebel and a hero, save your sister and celebrate Katniss Everdeen today! 

Sam Claflin's New Projects: 'The Huntsman' + Soccer Legend Biopic

Sam Claflin in Snow White and the Huntsman

Sam Claflin is going to have a very busy year! He's signed on to reprise his role as William in The Huntsman, the sequel (or pre-quel? - it's hard to tell) to Snow White and The Huntsman. Kristen Stewart isn't coming along for the ride this time, but Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are back as well as newcomers Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain. The Hunstman lands April 22, 2016. 

Sam has also been cast as British soccer legend Robin Friday in a biopic scheduled for a fall shoot in the U.K. The film will be based on the biography “The Greatest Footballer You Never Saw: The Robin Friday Story,” co-written by Paul McGuigan and Paolo Hewitt. With Sam's background in - and love for - British football, this should be perfect casting. 

Friday played for the Reading and Cardiff teams for four years in the 1970s while leading a hedonistic lifestyle. He died at the age of 38 in 1990; in 2004 he was voted an “all time cult hero” in a BBC poll.

Sam is currently shooting Me Before You with Emilia Clarke, then will appear in Their Finest Hour and a Half, a romantic comedy set in the early 1940s co-starring Gemma Arterton.

Thanks to The Wrap and Variety.

Outrage Alert: Willow Shields & Mark Ballas Eliminated on Dancing With the Stars

Well, THAT was unexpected. After an incredibly cool futuristic jazz number and a winning salsa dance-off, plus the night's high score of 39 (after the dance-off extra 2 points), Team Markingjay (Willow Shields and Mark Ballas) was eliminated in week 7 of Dancing With the Stars. I think we were all crying right along with Willow.

Check out their numbers below:

I mean, she KILLED it every time! 

If social media is any indication, the rest of the world was as upset about it as we were. #SaveWillow and #BringBackTeamMarkingjay were all over twitter, instagram and facebook last night.

It's so hard to believe that they didn't get enough votes. We were voting our heads off! Maybe people thought they were so good that they didn't need the votes? Who knows, it's heartbreaking. 

Willow and Mark should be proud of what they accomplished and know that they certainly win in the hearts of the tributes!
