It has been quite the weekend in Cannes. We had the cast of THE EXPENDABLES 3 rolling into town on Sunday in tanks (more on that a little later) and now we have the main members of the cast of THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 showing up to take part in a photocall. The event took place on Saturday, and as you may expect, got loads of attention from the press and fans alike. Lionsgate turned a whole area of the famous Croisette into what looked like a gigantic film set and director Francis Lawrence, and cast member Liam Hemsworth, Jennifer Lawrence, Sam Claflin, Josh Hutcherson and Julianne Moore joined in with the fun.
We’ve put together a video of the event, featuring interviews with the cast and filmmakers, and some glorious stills from the day.
The worldwide phenomenon of The Hunger Games continues to set the world on fire with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, which finds Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Danny Strong and Peter Craig and produced by Nina Jacobson’s Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the third in a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins that has over 65 million copies in print in the U.S. alone.
THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 1 opens this November.
