Entertainment Weekly gives us a look at a behind-the-scenes video of Jennifer Lawrence shooting a scary scene for Hunger Games (EW claims it as an exclusive, but it’s on YouTube) which was shown at Comic-Con:

Locations for the sequel, Catching Fire, are being scouted in Atlanta (the first film was shot in North Carolina). Several new cast members have been announced, the most notable being Philip Seymour Hoffman, who will play Head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee. Glee star Grant Gustin recently tried out for the role of Finnick Odair.

Catching Fire is scheduled to be released just before Thanksgiving, 2013. Following the tradition set by the Harry Potter and Twilight franchises, the final book in the series, Mockingjay will be released as two movies. They are scheduled to follow each successive November. The L.A. Times questions whether the studio can handle the intense schedule of a new movie every twelve months.
