The Catching Fire DVD will be out on March 7th (buy it HERE), but we've got some early details on the much anticipated deleted scenes. We reported earlier that there will be 5 deleted scenes on the Catching Fire DVD. But thanks to one of our savvy followers, we've got a few more details on what you'll be seeing in each scene.
There will be 5 deleted scenes, totaling about 5 minutes in length:
THE HOB - SCENE 8 (00:21) - A short scene with Gale and Katniss at The Hob.
TRAIN STATION - SCENE 62 (00:23) - Katniss comes back from the victory tour and tells Prim and her mother they need to leave District 12.
A WRINKLE - SCENE 81 (01:42) President Snow talks to Plutarch Heavensbee about Jabberjays. Extended scene.
SWITCHING ENVELOPES - SCENE 84 (01:04) Plutarch Heavensbee switches Quarter Quell envelopes and destroys the original envelope.
FINNICK TIES THE KNOT - SCENE 119 (00:56) Finnick Odair teaches Katniss to tie knots in the training center. Finally the scene that represents this still:
Just to clarify, the 5 deleted scenes will be included with every basic version of the Catching Fire DVD (and Blu-ray.) The Target Deluxe edition and the UK Limited Deluxe Edition contain additional exclusive content as follows:
Additional 45 minutes of exclusive content:
• One Vision (A Faithful Adaptation)—translating Suzanne Collin’s source material to the big screen
• The Alliance (Returning Cast)—an inside look at the close-knit relationships of the returning actors
• Friend or For (New Cast)—finding the perfect embodiments of the new characters
We've had a LOT of questions about the Peeta/morphling scene and the short rooftop scene Francis mentioned back in November, but we don’t have any info on those scenes being included in any editions yet. There's a possibility that snippets of these scenes are nestled within the 45 minutes of addtional content but it's not confirmed. Just a guess on our part. We’ll keep you posted!
What do you think of the deleted scenes? Were they pretty much what you expected or are you surprised?
We're THRILLED at the prospect of additional Philip Seymour Hoffman scenes. And we're pretty excited to potentially see some more jabberjay and mockingjay history on screen!
Thanks to Brett Vickerman for the info!
