Emotional Scenes Filmed on the 'Mockingjay' Set Today

Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson. Image courtesy joshhutchersonnews.tumblr.com Some incredibly emotional scenes where being filmed on the Mockingjay set in Noisy-le-Grand outside Paris today. These will be huge spoilers if you haven't read the book and might leave you emotionally unstable even if you have! All the biggest spoilers are under the cut and they involve Katniss and hijacked Peeta.

There were also some great photos of the cast goofing off between takes.

Major Spoilers on the 'Mockingjay' Set Near Paris - Photos & Video

Photo edit courtesy frostingpeetaswoundsThere were MAJOR spoilers on the Mockingjay set in Noisy-le-Grand outside Paris today as they filmed a key character's death. We'll post all the spoilery pictures under the cut so you can choose to click ahead - or not! The cast and crew was on location at the filming some pretty exciting action sequences featuring the members of Star Squad 451: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Mahershala Ali (Boggs), Sam Claflin (Finnick), Natalie Dormer (Cressida), Wes Chatham (Castor), Omid Abtahi (Homes), Michelle Forbes (Jackson), Evan Ross (Messalla), Elden Henson (Pollux), Kim and Misty Ormiston (Leeg 1 & 2) and Joe Chrest (Mitchell).

Photo thanks to MockingjayUpdatesJennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were at their adorable Joshifer-y best. WHAT are they doing in the photo above? We don't know but I'm sure the edits are being created as we speak. And - who knew - Jennifer has her own butt-brusher. I wonder where one applies for this position?

We here at PP can't get enough of all the on set images and video - we've obviously read the book many, many times and it will look so different after production is complete that we aren't feeling too spoiled. But we are very sensitive to those who don't want to see so much of the production and want you to still be able to enjoy coming to the site!

Kids Wish Network Grants Teen's Wish To Visit The 'Catching Fire' Set

How about a great story for your Good Friday? A new photo from the set of Catching Fire hit the internet today, and it has a lovely story to go with it. Read about Marisa Tran's set visit, made possible by Kids Wish Network:

As Marisa Tran was stuck in the hospital recovering from rounds of chemotherapy, there was one book series that she loved to repeatedly read cover-to-cover, The Hunger Games. The teen easily related to Katniss’s bravery and strong nature, two things Marisa needed to help her through the devastating treatment required to fight off her life-threatening illness. When she was well enough, Kids Wish Network wouldn’t think of a better way to show her some support than by granting her wish to visit the set of the series second book and movie, Catching Fire.

Marisa was diagnosed with both acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) in 2011. Having both life-threatening conditions is a very rare occurrence, and Marisa started treatment immediately. In October of 2011, she underwent her first bone marrow transplant then began chemotherapy for each diagnosis separately. The teen spent over six months in the hospital recovering, most of the time in an isolation unit as her immune system was extremely compromised.

When she was discharged, there was nothing to stop her, or Kids Wish Network, from granting her wish. Marisa and her family enjoyed an all-expense paid wish trip to Atlanta to visit the set of “Catching Fire” during filming. Her favorite part was meeting the amazing cast, including stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson, and Liam Hemsworth.

BTS Set Photos From 'The Hunger Games' Continuity Books

Theme Park Connection is hosting an ebay auction of over 800 costume pieces from The Hunger Games set, and part of the auction is supposed to be 23 Script Supervisor "continuity books" from the film featuring thousands of behind the scenes photos from the set.

The listing had been taken down at press time but we have a bunch of the photos from the books thanks to our friends at Real or Not Real News. They're fascinating!

Want more info on the auction? Go to ThemeParkConnection or check out their ebay store HERE. When we checked out the auction they had lots of little items like tees, Capitol citizens' hats and ties, etc, but nothing too impressive had been listed yet. The coolest items we saw were a Peacekeeper helmet and boots and an Avox outfit.

'Catching Fire' Is The Biggest Digital Launch in Lionsgate's History

Congrats to Lionsgate on the huge success of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire on DVD, Blu-Ray and digital HD! The company announced today that they sold an estimated 3.9 million DVD and Blu-Ray units in the first weekend, increasing almost 40% over The Hunger Games.

The press release:

Lionsgate (LGF), a leading global entertainment company, announced today that the global blockbuster Hunger Games franchise continued to gain momentum as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire sold an estimated 3.9 million DVD and Blu-ray units in its first weekend of North American release and had the biggest digital launch in the Company's history with opening weekend digital sales increasing nearly 40% over the first Hunger Games film.

The record digital performance was driven by #1 openings on all major digital platforms, including iTunes, Xbox, Amazon, Vudu, Comcast Xfinity, Verizon FiOS, Google Play and Sony Entertainment Network, among others. Higher-margin Blu-Ray titles surged to 50% of all packaged media sales of Catching Fire in its opening weekend compared to 35% of packaged media sales of the first Hunger Games film.

"This is a monster opening and a tremendous result for the second film in a franchise, underscoring the enormous momentum of The Hunger Games films," said Ron Schwartz , Lionsgate President and General Manager of Home Entertainment Sales & Distribution. "Opening weekend packaged media sales of Catching Fire were comparable to the first Hunger Games title released nearly two years ago while digital sales grew by nearly 40%. With strong increases in digital revenue and Blu-Ray accounting for 50% of packaged media sales, the opening weekend performance is driving significant margin growth and is a testament to the strength of the franchise."

"We opened Catching Fire on nearly 20 digital platforms, including six that have launched since the home entertainment debut of the first Hunger Games film in 2012, and it was number one on almost all of them," said Lionsgate President of Worldwide Television & Digital Distribution Jim Packer. "The broad demographic appeal of The Hunger Games franchise uniquely positions it for this surge in digital ownership."
