The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire is one of the most exciting
stories of The Hunger Games trilogy.
This leaves many eager readers yearning for any all details of the upcoming
film. There are many new aspects of this film that is being followed by many
throughout the world. The film is being
shot in Georgia and Hawaii for the tow different locations in the film. News
has reported that the filming has been put on pause and will return in Hawaii
shortly. For those who have read the
book or are currently reading it the location of the area and the shooting
locations will definitely help those imaginations! There are many photos to be found online for all
of those that want an insider look into the film. This was a smart marketing
tool for the film. Having these photos for fans (like me) only edges me more to
be there opening night for the film!
Another
aspect of the film that is driving the audiences wild is the new cast member.
For the readers this is an important aspect for all the tribunes in the next
games. One of the most exciting members
has been Sam Claflin who will be playing Finnick Odair. Claflin is amoung of
the many that will be joining the new film. Jennifer Lawerence commented
on her return to the set of the new film. She comments “It just feels like being a sophomore in high school … normally the
first day at work is like a first day of school, and a lot of times you don’t
know if you’re going to make friends. On this movie [though], I just “adore”
everyone in [the ‘Catching Fire’ cast.”].” The interviews and photos have
really given the audience involvement with the film and have helped build up
excitement. All I know is the countdown is on until November 2013!
Dreams of
another Terminator film seem long and effortless. Since Halcyon Company
declared bankruptcy in 2009 the rights of the Terminator franchise has been a
struggle for the company. The film has been sold now to producer Megan Ellison
and Annapuma Films. The next installment, however, is not to be expected to be
released soon in theaters. Since Ellison has picked up the film she has hired
her brother David Ellison and Jack Reacher to produce the film. This has picked
up some momentum for the next installment of the franchise. For fans this is
exciting but we have to remember the reality of the film. Since the purchase of
the right to the franchise the film has not attained a director who is
committing to the film. Director Justin Lin was asked to direct the newest
installment of the franchise. This gave the fans excitement and hopes to see
what will be the next chapter in the fight between humanity and Skynet. Sadly,
Lin officially left the project to film
with another franchise. Losing the director is another set back for the
franchise and the hope of the next installment.
The franchise is not doomed. It has
a team of three producers and the return of the original star Arnold Schwarzenegger. In an interview Arnold was
slightly explaining some details of the film. Not much was revealed but there
was talk of training
for the role. Having Arnold star in
the new film might bring some luck to the franchise. This might help Annapuma
Films acquire a director. This brings some positivity to the situation. Will
there finally be an ending after all these years? Can the Terminator franchise
be brought back to life with the return of Arnold and new faces? For the fans
out there this is all we can hope for, until then it’s the waiting game.
