An Insider's View of the 'Mockingjay' Party at Cannes

Jennifer, Francis, Josh & Liam thanks to http://staywithmealwayslove.tumblr.com/We're hearing a lot about the Mockingjay party at Cannes from those who attended the Lionsgate soiree on Saturday night.

Variety reports:

The hot ticket at the Cannes Film Festival was the Saturday night “Hunger Games” party hosted by Lionsgate that was such an extravaganza it would have made Jay Gatsby jealous.

A look at the new MJ pin thx to Total FilmAfter receiving a Mockingjay pin, guests were transported by buses to a sprawling $340 million mansion in Antibes owned by a Russian oligarch. The property, located on the Mediterranean Sea, was prominently decorated with “Hunger Games” posters and logos, not to mention a staff in goth costumes from the film.

“This party is like the Capitol at its worst,” quipped Jennifer Lawrence. She spent most of the night in a VIP area with her co-stars Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, dancing and lip syncing to tunes from Missy Elliot and Whitney Houston.

Producer Nina Jacobson, who optioned the rights to the books from author Suzanne Collins, said the cast had just arrived from a month in Paris, where they had been concurrently filming Mockingjay: Parts 1 and 2.

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!

Sam Claflin Talks Finnick Odair and Fan Negativity

Photos by Mario Anzuoni/Reuters

Sam Claflin talked a bit about playing Finnick Odair in Catching Fire and dealing with fan negativity about his casting with Reuters while promoting his new movie, The Quiet Ones. Sam keeps coming back to this subject and we sort of want to shake him and say, "Hey, Sam, we LOVE you as Finnick. Please move on!" Though we totally get it - that must have been absolutely brutal.

Q: You've often played the love interest. Are you worried about being typecast as the romantic hero?

A: It's definitely something that still scares me. Even now I'm in the process of making a decision of where I'm going to be going after "Hunger Games," and I want to make the right decision. I want a long-lasting career as opposed to someone that does the same thing over and over again, people get bored of you, and you then get washed up because the next young, better-looking version of you will arrive. I want to try my hand at new things, I want to be a character actor, I'd like to think of myself as a chameleon.

Q: What drew you to Finnick Odair in "Catching Fire"?

A: Knowing the journey that he goes on, where he begins; he's got this exterior, he's a confident, charming man, very good-looking and often judged on the way he looks, and I think he's the epitome of Hollywood ... but actually what's going on inside, there's a lot more going on. He's very similar to me in that sense, I think I put on a brave face a lot of the time, but actually what I'm thinking is I'm so nervous and intimated by what's going on. He's so vulnerable and naive to the world, he's just had to put on a front.

Q: What's been the most intimidating moment in your career?

A: I think portraying Finnick Odair would be the poignant moment in my career in the sense of I put most pressure on myself. I felt hugely intimidated entering into a franchise I was already a fan of, and had the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Woody Harrelson, Philip Seymour Hoffman coming on board, I didn't know what to do with myself. A lot of the fans showed a lot of negative thoughts with the role.

Q: How do you deal with that negativity?

A: I use it to my advantage. To me, that made me work harder ... it pushed me further, whereas I think if everyone was like, "He's perfect the way he is," I wouldn't have done anything; I would have just turned up. But I felt like, "I'm going to prove you wrong," and I can only do as much as I can do, and if they still hate me, they hate me, I can't change my face, I'm sorry. Well, I can with surgery! (laughs)

Sam also talked about Mockingjay and reuniting with the cast and says that “people are realizing that things are coming to an end,” so this is their last chance to goof off and crack up their friends on set. “It’s been very tough, especially with the things that we’ve been shooting recently that are a little more serious.”

Sam also talked (somewhat) seriously about The Quiet Ones with Josh Horowitz. Here he is describing how ridiculous it was to act to the directors "sound effects."

Josh Hutcherson and Sam Claflin at the MTV Movie Awards

The bromance lives! Photo thanks to lovingeverlark.tumblr.com Josh Hutcherson and Sam Claflin were at the MTV Movie Awards tonight. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire picked up 3 Golden Popcorn Statues at this year's MMAs: Movie of the Year, Best Male Performance for Josh Hutcherson, and Best Female Performance for Jennifer Lawrence. (Get all the details HERE)

Josh didn't walk the red carpet but Sam Claflin and his gorgeous wife, Laura Haddock did. Perhaps they should win an honorary award for being the most adorable couple? Or, wait, maybe that award should go to Sam and Josh.

The pic above was posted by Whitney on tumblr with the caption: So today I went to the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards and Sam Claflin skipped by saying “sorry I can’t stop, I’m late and I’ve got to mush on through.”

We didn't get Josh on the red carpet (boo!) but we did get some cute shots of him inside the awards. He attended with his little brother Connor. Connor, congrats on becoming an internet sensation.
