Just when fans of 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' thought they had seen it all, new set photos and footage of the film's taping were leaked online in the past few days. The film, which is currently taping in Hawaii, also placed a casting call for stand-ins on Thursday.
The latest photos from the film's Hawaii set show Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss Everdeen) along with co-stars Josh Hutcherson (Peeta Mellark), Sam Claflin (Finnick) and Lynn Cohen (Mags). Lawrence, who plays the lead character in the series, is seen chowing down on some raw fish and getting in some bow and arrow action, while Hutcherson, Claflin and Cohen are seen in various locations around a beach in skin-tight wetsuits.
Previous set photos from when the cast was filming in Georgia and earlier photos of the Hawaii set were leaked earlier this fall. DigTriad.com also released new footage from the Hawaii set showing Lawrence, Hutcherson and Claflin in full Quarter Quell action.
Late last week, the film put out a casting call for stand-ins for the Hawaii set, Hawaii News Now reported on Thursday. Stand-ins are needed for three male characters and two female characters of various ages. According to the casting call, stand-ins are needed in Oahu between Nov.26-Dec.22 and will be paid the stand-in rate of $160.
'Catching Fire' is the second film in 'The Hunger Games' series based on the bestselling books by Suzanne Collins. The first installment, 'The Hunger Games,' was a tremendous success, catapulting the film's cast to international fame.
The second film will focus on the 75th annual Hunger Games (Quarter Quell) and will pick up after Hunger Games victors Katniss and Peeta return to District 12 before setting off to their Victors Tour around Panem. A full cast list for the highly anticipated film was released in September, following weeks of suspenseful speculation.
In November, Lionsgate announced that 'Catching Fire' director Francis Lawrence will direct the series' third and fourth films, 'Mockingjay' Parts 1 and 2. Unlike the first film, parts of 'Catching Fire' will be filmed in IMAX, Hutcherson confirmed.
'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' is scheduled for theatre release on November 22, 2013.
