New Hacks Available at District13.co.in

As if today wasn't filled with enough Mockingjay goodness already, there's a new hack on the mobile District 13 site AND some new stuff on the desktop version: district13.co.in. 

Head to the desktop site and underneath "The Mockingjay Lives" you'll see the following copy:

We are the seekers of truth. We believe in the Mockingjay. Our districts burn, but we withstand the flames. And we will fight even after our hearts stop beating. The Capitol will feel our fury. And soon it will feel yours. 

Right under the "Take Down The Capitol" you'll see a green square. If you click it, it opens Cressida's confidential file that includes "new intel."

You'll also be able to click on another green square diagonally up and to the right of the first, "c_concerns VDO." Click it for a short gif from the film. Looks like District 7 and they are NOT having a good day. Bad peacekeepers!

You can also complete Hack 2 on your mobile device at m.district13.co.in, and you'll uncover the REAL Capitol Concerns of the citizens of Panem. We had a hard time with this one - we got several error messages and then had a tough time actually completing the mobile hack on one of our phones. Let us know how it works out for you!

The Capitol.PN Relaunches Capitol TV With New Content

Capitol TV was relaunched on TheCapitol.PN with a revamped look and a ton of new content today. Caesar Flickerman "interviews" The District Heroes, a "Mandatory Viewing" video about rolling blackouts in The Capitol, and a piece on digital make-up are all part of the redesigned portal. Unfortunately, most of you couldn't access the content this morning and we're hoping that all of the elements will be live and accessible sometime today.

Special thanks to QuarterQuell.org for the screenshot of the new Capitol TV. 

Meanwhile, check out some of the highlights from CapitolTV at TheCapitol.PN:

CAESAR INTERVIEWS THE HEROES

You know them, you love them; here to sit down with Caesar Flickerman for a Capitol TV Exclusive interview are our very own District Heroes. Join us for an enchanted round table discussion as Caesar gains insight into the unique Districts, and the beautiful people representing each one.


CAESAR: Welcome, welcome, welcome to each and every one of our very special District Heroes. We are absolutely thrilled to have you all here today, although Malcolm, I’m rather bereaved at the absence of your tire trousers.

MALCOLM KASTEL: Those were a photoshoot exclusive, I’m afraid- if I never see those things again, it’ll be too soon.

President Snow's Throne Can Be Yours for $995.00

By now you've seen President Snow's Panem Address, "Together As One" (aka the Mockingjay teaser) at least a few times. (If not, check it out below). The stark white set and President Snow's imposing, ornately carved white throne added impact to the brilliant in-universe propaganda clip. One of our savvy followers found the throne used in the clip for sale online hand-carved out of, appropriately, MAHOGANY! Yes, really.

Capitol style does not come cheap. this little beauty will set you back $995.00. Check it out at elegantaccents.com. It comes in multiple colors and you can even get a zebra or pink seat. Thanks to our follower Michael (@luchus1 on twitter) for finding it!

The Capitol PN Releases a New Still of Peeta + Introduces Capitol Concerns

The Capitol PN added an eerie image of Josh Hutcherson as Peeta Mellark to their formerly solo portrait of Donald Sutherland as President Snow. It was chilling to check the site this morning and see Peeta added! We're loving the way they're marketing this film. It's truly making us feel like a citizen of Panem, getting propaganda straight from The Capitol. And if you've been with us from the beginning and have explored our site, you know that's RIGHT up our alley.

The Capitol PN also introduced a new feature today: Capitol Concerns, "an open forum to submit questions, suggestions, and concerns for immediate review and timely resolution" from The Capitol and President Snow himself. We have a feeling that your concerns will be given the UTMOST attention. Perhaps after submitting your concern you'll be brought directly to The Capitol for further "discussion." Hmmm.

The Capitol PN Relaunches With District Heroes Propaganda

 

TODAY WE CELEBRATE THE PROUD MEN AND WOMEN WHO LIVE AND BREATHE THEIR DISTRICTS. TODAY WE ARE ONE PANEM

We've been waiting to find out what was going to happen at The Capitol.PN since that hypnotizing spinning Capitol symbol first appeared there last Friday. Today, TheCapitol.PN relaunched with a bang - and some incredibly well-done Mockingjay propaganda District Heroes posters.

Our initial thoughts of, "Where are the pictures of the cast?" were quickly replaced once we looked a little deeper into the campaign. Isn't this just what The Capitol would do? Use propaganda during a rebellion to try to unify the country? And use (probably) Capitol citizens to stand in for the people of the districts - including District 12- which fans would understand, didn't exist at the end of Catching Fire? 

We're excited that this might be just the start of a larger Capitol propaganda campaign that might end with some rebel hacks, some beautiful posters of our cast and, at least by Comic Con, a trailer. If the district heroes look this good, imagine Peeta in Capitol propaganda.

Bring it on!

Be sure to read more about each District Hero at TheCapitol.PN and sign up for updates from CapitolTV. See the full size pics in our Gallery.

New 'Mockingjay' Set Photos Feature Jennifer Lawrence, Capitol Citizens, Peacekeepers

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!)
