New 'Mockingjay' Set Photos From Berlin Featuring Josh Hutcherson

There's a small batch of new Mockingjay set photos from Berlin today featuring Josh Hutcherson arriving on set and having lunch. Wes Chatham and Natalie Dormer (or her double - hard to confirm) are in another. They're pretty tabloidy, so apologies to those who hate that sort of thing. They're filming at the International Congress Center in Berlin and fans are saying that security is VERY tight there.

It's a news drought, kids, you have no idea how excited we are to see Josh having lunch. And exiting his car. Yep, we need some Mockingjay stills, promo, trailer, anything.

Jena Malone Says She "Finished Shooting Everything 2 Weeks Ago" for 'Mockingjay'

On June 3, Jena Malone's band The Shoe will release I’m OK — its first full-length album since forming in 2008 (pre-orders are available here).

Refinery29 talked to Jena and her musical soulmate Lem Jay Ignacio at Ignacio’s garage studio in Los Angeles, where the album was recorded. Besides talking about the band and the upcoming record, they touched on The Hunger Games (of course) as Jena plays Johanna Mason in Catching Fire and the upcoming Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2. Jena let it slip that she's finished shooting her part in the films (!!!) and talked about the types of roles she's drawn to and inspiring teenagers, "I feel like they are the true revolutionaries. We should be doing everything for them."

From Refinery29:

Speaking of your other job, have you finished shooting everything for the next Hunger Games?
JM: "I just finished shooting everything two weeks ago. It’s crazy. I don’t even know if I’m allowed to say that. We are finishing in June. But, they are so secretive. It is so crazy. We will wrap and then never play these characters ever again. I’m a little sad about it."

LJ: "She was really sad. She was like, 'I’m never going to do the character again!'"

JM: "It is kind of a strange thing, I don’t know. I’m hoping that I found all of the pieces. I’ve never carried a character for two and a half to three years before."

What do you think your appeal is to broken but badass chicks?
JM: "I have played a lot of them. I might have represented a part of their heart on film, at different times in my life. When I was younger, I was really more drawn to those types of characters. I wanted some real meat in a role; I didn’t want to play the girlfriend or the daughter. I want to be challenging myself. But, the older I get, the more I want to just create things for teenagers. I want to inspire them and knock them down. I want them to skin their knees and then I want to lift them up. I feel like they are the true revolutionaries. We should be doing everything for them."


Teenagers really relate to characters like that. They connect to the underdog or the badass.
JM: "The way that they have latched on to Katniss Everdeen [and] the whole Hunger Games. Who doesn’t want to be that woman? There is no self there. It isn’t self-centered. It isn’t about her being pretty or using her sexuality. It is all about her using her strength. She sacrifices herself for love. It is amazing that 13-year-old girls are looking at that and saying, 'She is my hero.'"

As opposed to Disney princesses.
JM: "As opposed to Alicia Silverstone in Clueless in 1995. Things are now on a completely different spectrum. I think that we tapped into a collective consciousness kind of thing; young men and women who want to be treated more like adults and the way that they view films and how they are portrayed in films."

Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth + Cast Spotted in Berlin

The paparazzi has found them already! Jennifer Lawrence and Liam Hemsworth were both spotted outside Soho House Hotel in Berlin yesterday. The cast is in Germany to complete work on Mockingjay.

And after being spotted in Madrid several times yesterday, Josh Hutcherson showed up in a fan pic this morning that was hashtagged #Berlin. It looks like it could be in the airport. But we don't have confirmation that this is ACTUALLY in Berlin so, for now, just enjoy a photo of Josh in a unconfirmed location! 

Photo thanks to Fernando Garcia

German fans @xshipper (Marina) and @AniX1013 have been posting some great fan pics of the rest of the cast to their twitter accounts. Looks like they've met almost the entire cast! Follow them on twitter for more pics.

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!

Eugenie Bondurant is Tigris in 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2'

It's official! Eugenie Bondurant has been cast as Tigris in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. In the book, Tigris was once a reknown stylist in the Hunger Games and is now a shopkeeper selling fur-lined clothes in a small shop in the Capitol. Her appearance has been surgically altered to resemble a feline. The response to Eugenie's casting has been overwhelmingly postitive and we can't wait to see how they bring this character to life in the film.
