"The second film in a super-popular trilogy, "Catching Fire", is now
in pre-production and casting calls for the film's extras have now gone
out. Casting has been underway in Los Angeles for new co-starring and
supporting roles. The day players, extras, photo doubles, and stand-ins
will be hired in the Atlanta, GA area where shooting take place.
Additional casting will take place on the Hawaiian Islands of Oahu and
Kauai, and possibly in North Carolina. The production company of
"Catching Fire", GGX Productions, filed corporation papers with the
North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State in April, 2012. GGX
Productions, Inc now has an office in Raleigh, NC.
The first film in this Suzanne Collins trilogy, "The Hunger Games"
used the working title of "Artemis". According to the Georgia Film,
Music & Digital Entertainment Commission, "Catching Fire" is using
the working title "The Idiom". A working title is the temporary name of a
film used during its development. Working titles are used primarily for
two reasons - the first being that an official title has not yet been
decided upon and the working title is being used as a filler for naming
purposes, the second being to intentionally disguise the production of a
high profile film.
Vienna, Austria born filmmaker Francis Lawrence will direct "Catching
Fire" from an adapted screenplay being rewritten by Academy Award
winner Michael Arndt (from original drafts by Simon Beaufoy). Lawrence
took over directing duties from Gary Ross, who co-wrote the screenplay
and directed "Artemis". Ross stated that he would not have the time
needed to write and prep the movie the way he would have wanted to
because of the fixed and tight production schedule. Ross has stayed on
board as one of the producers.
