Film Preview: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

After the huge success of the first Hunger Games film in the trilogy, there is much anticipation over how the following two books in the series will be converted onto the big screen. It has already been announced that the final book, Mockingjay, will be split into two films which will be released in 2014 and 2015. The plots contained within the books are much more ambitious in terms of settings and special effects, as I was reading through the books having already seen the first film I wondered how the producers and director would be able to bring this to life in a manner that does justice to the books. The clock based arena which is used in the second book being an example of the difficult nature of bringing these books to life.

Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson)

In the second part of the Hunger Games series, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) have to live through the stunt they pulled to ensure they were both crowned winners of the Hunger games tournament. They must leave home and embark on a victory tour whilst the threat of rebellion and war against the Capitol simmers underneath.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is released in the UK on 22nd November 2013 and the teaser trailer is embedded below:
