Catching Fire (Hunger Games, Book 2): 002

Product Information

Beetee — The male tribute from District 3. Also known as "Volts," he is extremely intelligent and a crafty inventor. He notices a soft spot in the Capitol's forcefield surrounding the Gamemakers, and points this out to Katniss in training. This convinces Katniss that Beetee and Wiress would make good allies. During the Quarter Quell, he uses a special wire he designed to blow up the arena's forcefield. Beetee joins Katniss at the end on the way to District 13.

As the Victory Tour begins, Katniss and Peeta's speeches only spark a deadly response from the Capitol, leading to further unrest across the districts. To maintain the charade, Katniss and Peeta announce their engagement and attempt to convince the Capitol of their love. However, President Snow remains unconvinced. Katniss also meets the enigmatic new head Gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee. Peeta, whose love for Katniss was never an act, was broken-hearted at the realization that Katniss was merely pretending to love him for the sake of the competition. Since the Games, he has been acting very distant and cold toward her, and she feels guilty for the way she treated him. Gale has also been treating her differently since she returned home. Nothing is the same for Katniss since winning the Games. Lionsgate All Time Box Office Results". Box Office Mojo. Archived from the original on May 11, 2013 . Retrieved January 17, 2013. In the book, Snow says to Katniss at the end of the conversation that he knows about the kiss with Gale. In the movie, Snow plays a recording of the kiss.All the people involved in the rebellion show strength and courage too. Haymitch, for instance, comes across as a deadbeat drunkard, but he is actually central to the rebellion. Plutarch risks his life to defect from the Capitol, while the other tributes in the arena are willing to sacrifice themselves to keep Katniss (and consequently, the rebellion) alive. The Peacekeepers do not visit Katniss' home to inform her of the fence being electrically charged 24/7 and she does not get trapped behind the fence. According to sources, the adaptation needed to be done filming by December 2012 to fit Jennifer Lawrence's schedule. [16] When X-Men: Days of Future Past lost its original director [17] and shooting for the film was delayed till April 2013, [18] Jennifer Lawrence was no longer needed to be filming in January 2013 and the shooting timeframe for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was extended to March (including several breaks due to the holidays and awards season).

When the Quarter Quell is announced, Haymitch is seen throwing a glass bottle at his TV screen in anger. Upon returning home, Katniss witnesses the brutal actions of the Capitol's Peacekeepers, who are suppressing the population. Gale is publicly whipped after trying to stop them from killing civilians; leading to a confrontation that results in Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch's involvement. President Snow sees the victors as a threat and plots to eliminate them. The teaser trailer thus debuted at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on April 14, presented by Liam Hemsworth, and the trailer was posted on TheHungerGamesExplorer and YouTube after the ceremony. [56] "Beyond Fire" by T.T.L. was played as the trailer music. [57] Katniss doesn't explain how she recognized the force field. Wiress and Beetee, during training, mention seeing the glitch in the force field, hence, albeit late, her warning to Peeta before striking the force field in the arena. In the book, she claims that she can hear it(although this was a lie, so she did not reveal to the Gamemakers that she knew about the weakness of the force field), while she does not explain it in the movie.

She looks at Cinna who just shakes his head in confusion, when three peacekeepers enter the room, who then arrest, beat him into submission and drag him out of the room. A frozen Katniss watches in horror, but then is transported to the arena.
