The Hunger Games: Catching Fire isn’t set to hit theaters until November 22, 2013, but Entertainment Weekly will have a first look at the movie this week.
Entertainment Weekly has just released a Hunger Games photo by Tim Palen to tease their new cover. The photo shows Jennifer Lawrence as Katnis Everdeen, getting ready to fire her bow and arrow.
Here’s the official description for the sequel. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a “Victor’s Tour” of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) – a competition that could change Panem forever.
No information yet on what type of preview for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be inside Entertainment Weekly, but the fact EW is putting the movie on the cover is a good indication that Lionsgate is starting to kick off their marketing for the movie. Last year, the original Hunger Games movie was heavily promoted during the Super Bowl pre-game show. Could it be that we will see our first footage from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire before or during this year’s Super Bowl?
