Our friends at Die Tribute Von Panem shared some photos of propaganda posters from the Mockingjay set in the pedestrian tunnel near ICC in Berlin. We can't wait to see what all these locations end up looking like on screen!

Mockingjay set
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.

Trailers on the set
Filming continues at ICC Berlin
The CAST has finally been photographed on the Mockingjay set at Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. Today we've got some (pretty blurry) photos showing Jennifer Lawrence, Woody Harrelson, Liam Hemsworth, Wes Chatham, Francis Lawrence and producer Jon Kilik on set. Obviously, SPOILERS!
More photos from the set after the jump! Some are pretty spoilery so beware!
Thanks to our Berlin-based follower Gian Luca Brooks, we have another peek at the Mockingjay set at Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. He was able to take these photos on Monday and said the set looks really cool. These pics clearly show a District 2 set and what looks like it could be the city square and the train entrance to The Nut.
We're starting to see some of the first pictures from the Mockingjay set at Berlin's Tempelhof Airport thanks to our friends at @HGNewsChannel, PanemTribute, and Jabberjays.net. It looks like they'll be filming some District 2 scenes at this location based on the photos below:

All images courtesy DailyMailUK Daily Mail posted some pictures of the Mockingjay cast having a little fun in the sun between takes on the set in Noisy-le-Grand today. Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Sam Claflin and Josh Hutcherson have been filming some pretty emotional scenes lately but it looks like they're still having a great time with each other.
More (a couple of SPOILERS-beware) after the jump!
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!

Star Squad 451!
Image thanks to @luna_luna02 on instagramThe Hunger Games fandom definitely got a much-needed resuscitation the last few days with all the incredible photos and video from the Paris Mockingjay set! Lots fans made it to the set today and got close enough to the action to get some amazing photos and video. Thanks to all of you! This is going to be very spoilery so steer clear if you are avoiding set spoilers. There were scenes filmed today featuring Star Squad 451, and in the photos you can see Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson (in his cuffs - Peeta!), Sam Claflin, Liam Hemsworth, Michelle Forbes (Jackson), Elden Henson (Pollux), Natalie Dormer (Cressida), Evan Ross (Messalla), and Wes Chatham (Castor).
The scenes were shot at Les Espaces d'Abraxas, a unique apartment complex in Noisy-le-Grand outside of Paris. The architecture is really spectacular and makes a great stand-in for part of the Capitol.

Image courtesy JustJaredAfter what seemed like a massive Mockingjay news drought, we received a glorious gift today in the form of set photos and video from the current filming location outside Paris. Check out some fabulous Mockingjay set photos and video featuring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth and a host of Capitol extras in what looks like the scene where the Capitol citizens are evacuating, and Katniss and Gale are making their way from Tigris' shop to Snow Mansion.
Obviously, if you are trying to steer clear of Mockingjay photos before the film comes out DO NOT click the "read more!"

Much more after the jump!
According to Mockingjay producer Nina Jacobson, filming has wrapped in Atlanta. They'll head to Europe soon to shoot in Paris and Berlin. Filming is expected to continue until early June.
Marian Green, our District 9 female tribute in Catching Fire was also busy on twitter today! She revealed that she's also been working on Mockingjay. We're assuming it's as a stunt woman or stunt double but we'll have to wait and see.
Update on 2014-04-19 19:06 by Dan McCall
Francis Lawrence addd his thanks to the Atlanta Mockingjay crew with this tweet on Saturday:
Hooray! New Mockingjay set photos are here! Thanks to the Daily Mail we have a peek at The Hunger Games: Mockingjay set in Atlanta and a tiny sliver of Jennifer Lawrence's beautiful mug inside a voluminous hood (most of the pics feature her stunt double), some Peacekeepers and Capitol citizens.
Looks like Jackson Spidell, who played our District 10 tribute in Catching Fire and was Sam Claflin's stunt double is also playing a Peacekeeper in Mockingjay. He has his helmet off in the photo below.
The large stone objects above are called Czech hedgehogs. They are an anti-tank defense that were widely used by Soviets in World War II. Czech hedgehogs were especially effective in urban combat, where a single hedgehog could block an entire street. They became a symbol of "defence at all cost" in the Soviet Union. Sounds like a perfect fit for The Capitol. (thanks to our followers Don Carpenter and Liam Baker for this info!)
Swan House stood in for President Snow's mansion in the Catching Fire party sceneAccess Atlanta's Jennifer Brett was on the Mockingjay set today and she spoke with Jeffrey Ellis of Atlanta Creative Studios, the team responsible for transforming Swan House into President Snow's mansion. Mockingjay will return to film at Swan House in the next week or so.

From Access Atlanta:
President Snow has some sumptuous accommodations awaiting him in Buckhead as Mockingjay continues filming in Atlanta.
The elegant Swan House, site of a good bit of filming for Catching Fire, is readying for the return of the Hunger Games series.
Catching Fire filmed in areas including the dining room, an outside courtyard and an upstairs room in scenes featuring Donald Sutherland's character, President Snow, along with lead Jennifer Lawrence's character, Katniss Everdeen and others.
This time, workers are prepping a downstairs room to serve as Snow's quarters. The room, normally stately and sort of subdued, has been rendered positively resplendent by Jeffery Ellis and his team at Atlanta Creative Studios.

Initially he thought workers could spray-paint the ceiling and do the detail work by hand. But the Swan House and spray paint have nothing in common. All the work must be done by hand, to protect the interior of the home, on the grounds of the Atlanta History Center.
"They said, you're not spray-painting anything!" Ellis said. He also worked on Catching Fire, and other projects have included The Walking Dead, Zombieland, Stomp the Yard and a number of Tyler Perry productions. He also does corporate work but enjoys the hustle of movie-set design.
"The time element" is the biggest challenge, he said. "They keep changing it. You'll finish and they'll say, 'what about this?'"
There's a joke among folks in his line of work:
Q: How many artistic directors does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Does it have to be a lightbulb? Could we try something else?
You get the idea.
Mockingjay is due to return in the next week or so, and as Ellis' team works inside, a crew outside is prepping some of the exterior areas. The outside of the Swan House was featured extensively in Catching Fire party scenes but Ellis wasn't able to say exactly what will be going on this time. He did salute everyone at the Swan House.
"All the people here are great," he said.
Who knew a picture of a CAT could give me so many feels?! Mockingjay producer Nina Jacobson tweeted this set photo of Prim's beloved cat with the caption, "Resting between takes." Awwww!
Producer Nina Jacobson confirmed today on twitter that it's Buttercup's big day on the Mockingjay set! Apparently, they're filming the "Crazy Cat" scene in District 13 today. For those of you who don't know who Buttercup is - and if you don't this whole website must be thoroughly confusing - it's Prim's beloved cat, who is barely tolerated by Katniss.

In Mockingjay, Katniss devises a game of "Crazy Cat" to entertain the citizens of District 13 while they're confined *SPOILERS* because of a bombing. Katniss shines a flashlight around the compartment and Buttercup tries to catch it. It later becomes a metaphor for how Katniss is feeling about *SPOILERS* Peeta's capture and torture, so it's a pretty important scene and one we're thrilled is staying in the movie!
