Catching Fire Comic Con
Interviews of the Catching Fire cast from Comic Con keep popping up all over the place. Here are a couple we haven't seen before from Germany's High5tv. They speak with Jennifer Lawrence, Jena Malone, Jeffrey Wright, Francis Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Lenny Kravitz and Willow Shields.
Francis Lawrence says there's going to be an HOUR of the arena in the movie (and say goodbye to shaky-cam - hooray)!

Still the interviews roll in from Catching Fire's big appearance at Comic Con in San Diego. This new video features Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Willow Shields, Lenny Kravitz, Jena Malone and Francis Lawrence speaking with with Empire Magazine about the movie.
Beware, there's a 30 second ad before the video will play, but it's worth the wait.
We all know that Lenny Kravitz is one stylish man. The singer and actor opened up about his costumes for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire as he returns to the role of Cinna. And it sounds like Cinna is a lot more like Lenny Kravitz, as far as the "look" goes.
"The clothing this time was more in line with how I dress," he told HitFix during Comic-Con. "I felt like I was wearing my own things throughout the film."
PopSugar caught up with Catching Fire's Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Willow Shields and Francis Lawrence at the press line for the movie at Comic-Con. Lawrence spilled on the "complicated" relationship her character has with Peeta and Gale, the scene she's most excited for fans to see, and, oh yeah, something about a wedding dress! Josh actor joked about the funniest people on set (besides Jennifer Lawrence, of course) and the Catching Fire scene he's most excited for fans to watch. Hint: it involves vicious monkeys. Willow explained what it was like coming back to the cast, including the surprising reaction she got from onscreen sister Jennifer Lawrence. Shields also let PopSugar in on Prim's biggest challenge going into the saga's second chapter. Director Frances Lawrence is new to The Hunger Games family, but the Catching Fire director says it was easy to get along with the cast.
HitFix spoke with Jena Malone at Comic Con about her role as Johanna Mason in Catching Fire. On the famous Johanna elevator nude scene, Malone wouldn't elaborate too much, but said that Francis Lawrence and his writers for this sequel have integrated in Suzanne Collins' descriptions of that passage.
"We're quite faithful to the adaptation," Malone said, acknowledging the scene.
As for the cast, Malone was excited by each addition as they were announced. "Every day, I'm thinking This is so incredible," she daid. "[Every character] has their own flavors and weapons and things, it's really cool."

It's SO great to see Jeffrey Wright talking about his character, Beetee in Catching Fire! Jeffrey spoke with ClevverTV about the character, working with the great cast, and how the movie is relevant to what's going on in the world today. Love this interview!
Entertainment Weekly broke down the Catching Fire panel at Comic Con. Here's what they had to say:
The Panel: Stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Jeffrey Wright, Jena Malone, Lenny Kravitz, Willow Shields, along with director Francis Lawrence
Footage Screened: A new trailer (check it out below), which featured a very brief look at the new Arena, newcomer Sam Claflin as your merman boyfriend Finnick, and several scenes set around the Capitol.
Snap Judgment: In contrast to the gray-grit aesthetic adopted by director Gary Ross for the first Hunger Games, the footage screened from Catching Fire was decidedly more colorful, with sweeping shots of the Capitol and the Victory Tou rof Panem. (In fairness to Ross, Catching Fire is almost certainly benefiting from that sweet sweet sequel cash.) The film certainly looks impressive, although it’s disappointing that we didn’t get to see much of the new characters.
The Big Revelations: A single shot of Sam Claflin led to loud whoops throughout the crowd. The chatty panel didn’t offer many surprises — turns out Jennifer Lawrence is incredibly charming, have you heard? Lionsgate is clearly sticking to the YA-franchise script with the second Hunger Games movie. (It’s really going to get interesting next year, when the cast and crew try to convince us that they’ve figured out how to turn the incredibly bleak Mockingjay into two movies.)
Most Incisive Audience Question: An attendee asked Lawrence and Hutcherson whether they would have any “hot” kissing scenes. This led to a long story which involved Lawrence — who, lest you forget, is an Academy Award winner and one of the most popular actresses alive on the world today — saying the words, “There was a huge string of snot!”
