'Catching Fire' Audio Post-Production In Atlanta Confirmed

We heard rumors that Catching Fire was shooting something in Atlanta over the weekend. It turns out they were definitely working on some audio post-production. Blogger Jeffrey West took part in the audio recordings and says he and about 100 other extras spent all day recording audio for Catching Fire such as chanting, "No more Games!" and "Katniss, Katniss!"

West says he and the other extras also spent time running around screaming, cheering, clapping, and (fake) laughing. He says at one point they had to react as if they'd just heard gun fire.

A sleep-deprived Jeffrey vlogged about his experience, from the first casting call to the end of a very long day. Sounds like an incredibly cool experience:

Rumor: 'Catching Fire to Film for Four More Weeks & 'Mockingjay' Possible July Start?

A very reliable Hunger Games source, Anchor Russ Bowen from Asheville, NC tweeted today that Catching Fire has four more weeks of filming left, 2 weeks in Los Angeles and two in Hawaii. He added "over budget." Bowen also said that Mockingjay starts shooting in July but that location hasn't been finalized. This is still just a RUMOR but Russ Bowen has been a trust-worthy source on Hunger Games set information in the past.

Jennifer Lawrence spoke with E! on the Critic's Choice red carpet last night. She said they had a "little over a week" left of filming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. It was previously reported that the film had wrapped right around Christmas.

Last night Russ Bowen, anchor for News 13 in Asheville, tweeted that there are reshoots scheduled for March due to some "technical issues" but that everything indicates that Catching Fire will be "even better" than The Hunger Games. He also said "Francis Lawrence's vision nailed it"
